I must admit that this is a very guilty pleasure. Why?–because the MVP watches his home runs and flips his bat sometimes (most of the time). Punkin doesn’t like it 
If you watch these, notice how many of them give the Cards the lead or tie the game. He hit at least 5 or 6 really big ones in the 8th inning or later…2 of those are back to back on the vid.
So in honor of day 1 of the playoffs:
I was in the park for #s 21, 31 and 48, a-thank-you.
I’m not going to school today…at all.

This is all that is wrong with people chiming me up for liking the players I do. It’s the selectiveness in cheering for douchebaggetry that makes my husky belly stir. Oh and the CAPLOCKED title drives the point home further. Had the 23-32 year old MVP typed it himself, he would have hit ‘Caps Lock’ typed his title and then thrown the keyboard while staring the monitor down. I hope when I watch this, at least one of those lands in Big MacLand or on Mark McGwire Parkway.
yuck.
#10, #42, #47 are the worst. I like the Sammy Sosaness of his homers and the way he double points at the sky like the G.O.A.T. #25.
What did Puffy call it…a PHD?
Weak…it is kettle calling Dukey’s bacon black.
pooh-holes is no slouch. quite a pimp. suck it punkin
Sounds like the new guy agrees with me…let’s hear it for me!
He’s no slouch, he’s quite a ball player. Don’t believe me then ask any of the Cubs fans (since the merger cubs/cards). He’s “pure.”
I’m saying if you cheer for the bat tosser, you relinquish the rights to boo Joe Horn…It’s the same thing.
Not the same, bro…not the same. It’s one thing to celebrate a score or a home run or whatever. It’s another to plant props on the field and talk about yourself in the 3rd person to the point that ESPN likes to put a collage of your “Joe Horn” moments together. Joe Horn is a monster ego in every area. Albert flips his bat. He’s humble off the field and a giant contributor to the community (not that Joe Horn isn’t). Albert is also had B2B MVP quality seasons, and he’s arguably the best player in the game. Joe Horn is Joe Horn, so if Albert gets a little pumped while hitting each of his 49 dongs and wants to act like he’s a badass, well…Dizzy Dean said “it ain’t braggin if you can do it.” Badass.
It is exactly the same. Both are celebrating a sports accomplishment. Both knew they would do what they did in the event of the score. The mention of “collage” is ironic in a post that’s sole purpose was to present an “uber collage” of Albert Pujols moments. Then you bring up that he is a good guy and a great ballplayer. Neither is relevent when bat flipping. I am not dissing it, I never would have mentioned it except that everytime I cheer for a guy that draws attention to himself I get slammed for it. The golden child himself apparantly gets a pass…only in “Baseball Town.”
Fuckin’ *besuboru*
Actually, Punkin-boots, both are relevant in relation to bat flipping. Are you a fuckface who hops after you hit a home run, does roids, corks your bat and skips the last game of the season? If so, then your bat flipping is part of a pattern of douche. If you’re Albert Pujols, you’re the best player in the league and you’re a great community guy who also happens to flip his bat. It’s the diet coke of fuckfaces. If you wanna hate him for the bat flips and then defend Barry Bonds to the death because he only said he took a “cream” substance and a “clear” substantce but he doesn’t know what they were, then that’s on you, bro. It’s called a balancing test. Put the good on one side and the bad on the other and then add ‘em up. It’s all relevant, and you’re barkin up the wrong tree…especially given the shipwrecks that you’ve tied your cart to.
