Well Dodgers 3rd baseman Casey Blake has added some fuel to the fire. Via LA Times:
San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson said he wouldn't forget that Casey Blake mocked the cross-armed gesture he makes after every save as a tribute to his faith and deceased father.
Blake was shown on television cameras Sunday appearing to mimic Wilson's signature pose at the end of the 12th inning.
Stay classy, Casey.
Look Wilson doesn't go Frankie Rodriquez or Joba Chamberlain with his post-game celebration. He always turns away from home plate and simply crosses his arms and points to the sky. There is nothing about Wilson's celebration that should be mocked or seen as disrespect towards the opposition.
When asked about if this incident would intensify the rivalry, Wilson had this to say.
"It could be a catalyst if you want to look at it that way," he said. "There's always something to fuel the fire. You're always looking for some excuse to get riled up."
I can't wait for these teams to meet up in August. Also I want to see either Lincecum or The Big Unit drill Manny, Blake, or whoever else when they meet up again.
DODGERS SUCK!
Wilson vows not to forget Casey Blake's mocking gesture (LA Times)
The Dodgers are in Philly tonight, tomorrow, and Thursday. Take solace in knowing that there will be a bunch of lewd chants toward them (and hopefully the now-suspended ManRam). And hopefully the Phils can get a sweep of those d-bags in the process.
ReplyDelete/Not a fan of the Dodgers, myself.
TRUST ME JFEIN, THE NEXT THREE DAYS I WILL BE THE BIGGEST PHILLIES FAN IN THE WORLD.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually thinking I might throw up a live blog of the game on Thrusday at 1:05 ET. It's Billingsley vs. Hamels and there obviously won't be any playoff interference. I'll probably use Blogger instead of CiL though. I like that better for baseball and football.
ReplyDeleteNice 2-run blast by Blake last night. lol
