Also, why do baseball fans hate fun more than any other sports fans? Good Christ it's not 1954 anymore, who cares if someone wants to celebrate slightly extravagantly after a walk-off or something. I can't wait until all these old school baseball purists die off.
By the way that's not directly related to the Melky chop thing, just more in general.

It's not the fans, it's the players. You can get a 95 mph fastball planted in your ear for "over celebrating". And it's not the fans throwing them.

Yeah, I realized after I posted that I should've said it's mostly players. Still though, fans of teams whose opponents "excessively" celebrate hate it too. A few years ago the Brewers outfielders had this "Untuckem" thing when Mike Cameron was here where they'd untuck their shirts after a win when they were still on the field, and a bunch of Cards fans were all up in arms (I know, weird). I'm sure there are tons of other examples of this too (ie: the Melky Cabrera "groin chop" thing. Seriously who gives a sh*t). To me it's just a bunch of people acting like sore losers. Have some fun.
People (including Mets fans) used to flip a sh*t because Jose Reyes would salsa in the dugout after scoring a big run. Victor Cruz is making cash money for doing the same thing in an endzone.
From the House that Roids built? How is this surprising?
Cano and Melky are best buds. Only a matter of time...
That's actually a good point (not the house that roids built) but Cano and Melky are best friends and talk all the time. I was listening to the radio today and testing happens a lot throughout the league said an ESPN analyst. Cano has been relatively consistent throughout his career. I just think that given his previous years of success he has already been tested but you're right only time can tell.
And while he was on the Yankees he put up numbers more like Swisher does know with less home runs. .269 average with the Yanks, 228 RBI's, and 518 hits in 1900 AB's. Solid role player. He's a different player now obviously for a reason.
Cano would surprise me.
^All that matters though. The mets are back to the old mets.
I do follow the cubs, but they aren't good enough to talk about

When players act summers breezey, untucking their shirts as a show of disrespect, doing a double somersault after closing out the game, or stare a home run down, it's showing up the other players. It's a Ann Coultery move, and people shouldn't do it.
And I think doing a crazy dance whenever you score a touchdown is summers breezey too. Act like you've been there before.
There's a fine line between showing enthusiasm after something and acting summers breezey, so feel free to criticize me on a specific event. But the point still stands.

1) The whole thing started because apparently Mike Cameron's dad did it whenever he was done with a hard day's work or something and he wanted to "honor" him. Kind of a fluff story but whatever. 2) Even if that wasn't the case, how is it disrespectful? This has nothing to do with me being a Brewers fans; I just honestly don't see how it can be seen as disrespectful.
I agree to an extent about staring down home runs or other cases where it's obviously showing up an opponent, but if it's harmless fun with teammates in your own dugout or something then it just doesn't bother me I guess.

Maybe this should go in the reading thread, but I was doing my weekly perusal of the bookstore and saw a Victor Cruz "autobiography" and a new Gil Hodges bio right next to each other and instantly thought maybe this is a Flanzo kind of day.

I'm a Jets fan, but I do like Cruz's rags-to-riches type of sports story.
I never had the pleasure of experiencing Hodges for myself, but through second hand knowledge have grown a very big admiration for the guy who brought the Mets their first championship and finally made them a legitimate team and not the lovable losers the country had grown to know. My dad just bought that and he already has RA Dickey's book, and I'm hoping to read both of them in the coming weeks (gotta finish A Song of Ice & Fire series first).

Um, I can't believe I saw Cruz and thought Jets not Giants. I hope that's the stupidest thing I do today.
Just going to say this now: I absolutely despise Fatso Francesa. He's usually incredibly biased against the Mets/Jets, barely talks about the Knicks and regards hockey like some random equestrian sport or something.
But this is great:
The Mets are officially the biggest laughingstock team I've ever rooted for, and that includes a 1-15 Jets squad.

I'd feel bad for you, except that I have the Indians, Browns, and Cavs... Don't bring a knife to a gun fight Flanz!

You still win this argument, but let's keep in mind that since I was born, the Mets/Jets/Knicks/Rangers have 2 combined titles (and I was too young to remember the Mets' '86 title) and 3 total championship appearances.
Basically, if you don't root for the Giants/Yankees, you're f*cked.
