Texas was lying in wait to meet Jose Batista and give a little payback for his arrogant and aggressive bat flip during last year’s American League Divisional Series.

Canadians must not be familiar with the phrase, “Don’t Mess with Texas”.
A fight broke out now you talking
That’s some aggressive baseball there. Some of those guys are pretty tough.
was that a hockey game?
That reminds me of when I was growing up, walking into the bathroom after my dad, and getting hit in the face by an Odor.
Flipping the bat like that is like throwing a golf club. Only assholes do it.
Guess he wins the punchable face contest.
Used to love baseball-grew up in Wrigley-don’t miss it a bit especially when I see shit like this.
If I wanted to see Hispanics throw punches at each other, I’d watch boxing.
Asshole ball, the new national pastime.
From the OED:
Won’t matter, Mets will win the Series this year, like that they did last year.
I loved it and it had nothing to do with the bat flipping nonsense…Bautista tried to hurt him with the slide and he got paid back in a timely manner…baseball like it was meant to be played….gimme old school all day…
I loved the hit batter, the slide and the reaction. just men playing sports.
remember all old time cowboy movies always included fights every man participated in.
this current male pacifism leaves me scratching my head in wonder.
I don’t understand the problem with the “bat flip” from last year either.

I detest the Arlington Rangers, but this is classic.
Back in the day, bat flips and posing at the plate didn’t happen, because baseball had a real and effective system of justice. As demonstrated by the non-threatening, yet painful, program pitch to the rib cage.
Utley rule, mandatory ejections for bean-balls, tobacco free ballparks… ML baseball has lost its freakin’ mind.
I like how in baseball if you act like a thug/showboat you will end up paying for it. In football this should happen when players score a touchdown and then start dancing around for 5 minutes. Makes me sick watching those guys strut around.
