    Nothing wrong with being excited.

    Goind nuts and yelling and pointing at the guy who hit the ball is ridiculous.

    1-0 Brewers. Billy dove and made a spectacular catch on the first play of the game. Landed hard on his wrist & side. Wrist hurting and looked like the wind got knocked out of him. He stayed in the rest of that half inning, but pulled once he reached the dugout for Heisey.

    I have no problem with a celebration either, that didn't seem like a celebration to me....looked like a guy aggressively screaming at the player that hit the ball.

    Hey look, Ludwick robbed Gomez of 2 RBI, calmly got up, put his head down, hit gloves with a teammate and ran to the dugout.

    I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the Brewers manager and team would not think Gomez would deserve a bean ball for crap like that.
    And if Homer hurts him? If Gomez tried to evade and gets his wrist broken?

    Who was that catching Chapman? Really good framing.

    Watch the replay. Votto was pointing to him and Gomez was responding. Some back and forth between them.

    Hamilton strained 3rd & 4th knuckle.

    Homer Bailey having a 6.15 ERA is ridiculous.

    What Gomez did....not so much.

    I guess I'm just desensitized to it because we do the same thing in my own competitive sport of choice. It's not to be taken seriously.

    Nice pick by Overbay. That was smashed.

    Maybe he's just afraid of Brewer pitching?

    Maybe I'm just in a bad mood and overreacted. I think I am going to go to Dairy Queen and get a peanut butter sundae.
