Wahhh, the opposing pitcher showed emotion after getting out of a bases loaded jam in a 3-1 game. Wahhh. What an a-hole.
The St. Louis Post Dispatch's Bernie Miklasz provided some nice analysis of the game last night. Where to begin with this douche. Well, I guess we could start with his labeling of Carlos Villanueva as a "journeyman". Yeah, unfamiliar with the term, aren't you Bernie. No, see when you say journeyman, some other names come to mind - not a guy who has been with two organizations in his career and only on one major league squad - names come to mind like:
- Kyle Loshe
- Ron Villone
- Joel Pineiro
- Ryan Franklin
- Cesar Izturis
- Aaron Miles
- Felipe Lopez
- and yes....Ryan Ludwick...gasp
Those are journeymen guys Bernie.
Another thing I like, and numerous people have touched on this, is him feeling the need to provide us with the transcripts of what Albert Pujols had to say ON TV, after the game. Thanks Bernard.
My favorite part though...
I respect the way they play the game. And when you see a guy disrespecting the game – obviously they pretty much beat us all year long. You don’t have to do a stupid thing like that to disrespect this game. I let him know I didn’t appreciate it. He was still yelling and talking crap and running away. I wanted him to stop and face me. I respect this game. And I didn’t appreciate the way he disrespected us. I didn’t care if he yelled, but when you start pointing into the dugout, that;s not professional right there.”
Oh where, oh where to begin with this one. We may not have seen everything, but on the broadcast I saw Villanueva never once "pointed to the dugout". Did he "flex" as it was put, yeah he flexed and pumped his fists, but not once did he point to the Cardinals bullpen. Running away? I didn't see that either. I saw Villanueva celebrate, walk towards the dugout, get into a yelling match with you, stop and "face you" before Prince stepped in, so get some facts straight Al.
I also like how he "respects the game" and yet his teammates and members of the STL media are crying foul on Ryan Braun for doing something that Albert Pujols made famous, and continues to do...stand at the plate, hold the bat and admire a home run. I actually like Albert Pujols. Thanks to a former media related job, I was afforded the opportunity to meet and speak with him quite a few times in the Brewers pathetic era (2002-2004), and he comes off as a really down to earth, genuine guy. But c'mon Albert. You have to admit what you do is just as bad. I also like him taking the high road in the interview by saying "he said something in Spanish that I don't want to say to you guys". Gee, thanks Al. God forbid we hear what he said in Spanish after we read your lips last night when you told him to "STFU" and go "Sit the fu@k down".
You know, I really, really hate Cardinals fans. Oh I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to say that because they're the greatest fans on earth. They're so knowledgeable and informed. They show up all the time...well, apparently except in the midst of a pennant race when they're playing the team they trail by 3.5 games. Cardinal fans are overrated babies. Hey St. Louis, your beer tastes worse than piss and your fans are crybabies who overvalue the players on the team. I hate to say it, but they're a lot like Packer fans.
So far, great work by Bernard, but he clearly goes out on top with this nugget...
One more thing: I don’t understand the Brewers. I just don’t. Really, I admire that team and its talent. Doug Melvin is one of the best guys in the game and an excellent GM. There are so many good players on that roster. But why do the Brewers always have to pull stunts? Why do they have to go knucklehead on us so often? What’s up with yanking their shirts out of their pants on the field as soon as they win a game, which, despite what they claim, really is an insult to the other team? What’s up with some of the showboat HR trots? What’s up with a journeyman like Villanueva gesturing wildly and cursing in the direction of the STL dugout? I don’t understand why this talented team feels that it needs to act up like NBA bad boy Ron Artest, or something. I don’t understand why this Milwaukee team feels the need to be controversial. I don’t understand the arrogance, considering that the Brewers have won NOTHING since 1982. And I don’t understand how Yost continues to allow it to happen. The Brewers will probably make the playoffs. They are that good. But we must ask: can you fellas at least hold off on the showboating until you actually win something
And there we have it. Nice Bernard. Yeah, those Brewers and their stunts. I was just thinking the other day, man the Brewers remind me a lot of those 60's and 70's Raider teams. You know, full of bad dudes you didn't want to mess with and pulled a bunch of stunts. Then I thought, you know, they kind of remind me of the Pistons in the 80's as well and all those stunts that they pulled. The similarities between the Brewers and those squads are definitely there. Think about it, the Brewers:

Then I thought, you know, they kind of remind me of the Pistons in the 80's as well and all those stunts that they pulled. The similarities between the Brewers and those squads are definitely there. Think about it, the Brewers:
- Untuck their jerseys after the game has ended (BASTARDS!)
- Show emotion after a pitcher gets out of a tight jam
- Admire clutch home runs (NOT every homer like Albert Pujols)
- Sell out nearly every home game
- Have a manager that doesn't make it his personal mission to pick up DUI's
What a bunch of dicks. Seriously Bernard, explain to me how untucking your jersey, AFTER THE GAME HAS COMPLETED, is an insult? Along those lines, it's completely insulting to opposing batters when a pitchers jersey comes untucked after a pitch.
I'm not even going to touch the Ron Artest comparison (Chuckie Hacks did a great job at that), that just shows his true ignorance.
If the Brewers really are this rag-tag bunch of "Knuckleheads" then why has no one other than the whining Cardinals taken an issue with this?
And the "haven't won anything since 1982" was priceless. There it is, didn't see that coming. I'll say this though, we can't argue with him on it. You may be right Bernard, we haven't won anything since 1982, but at the same token you'd think the Cardinals have won 19 of the last 27 World Series the way the columnists and fans talk about them. No, we haven't made the playoffs in 26 years, until now. Have fun watching us win something for the first time since 1982 this year while you guys are all watching from home and Tony LaRusa is watching from some pub...shortly before driving home. Douche Bag.
Oh and seriously, I'm offended by this:
How dare Troy Glaus show us up by pretending to be an umpire. Dick head.
