Giants are upset
Yawn
Score more runs and you can celebrate your way.

No kidding
This is my favorite comment on St Louis celebration mocking.
That’s going to be one crazy town if St. Louis wins the World Series. Thousands of handshakes, half-smiles and “well dones.” I bet they might even play some music in the stadium.
Interesting attitude
From fans whose team is 4 games under .500 and 14 games out of first place in the 2nd week of September.
i'm glad
you’re not including yourself as a fan anymore.
football players celebrate EVERY touchdown. basketball players celebrate after a last-second shot. Soccer players celebrate after every goal (except maybe off a penalty kick). What’s the problem?

Jumping up and down, high fiving and hugging your teammates is one thing
But what they did yesterday was something completely different. Why do you think that fans, as well as players from almost every Brewer opponent gets ticked off at this sort of thing?
Doesnt anyone have a problem with the fact that this sort of thing is continual, coming from a losing and underperforming team?
Its a lot like the touchdown dance, overdone at that, from a team down 35 points in the last 5 minutes of a football game. Just seems a bit inappropriate.
But they were not down
They had finally won a close game against a team that squeaked by them the last two game.
I think you are just looking for stuff to bitch about
I am actually glad they showed some life and are not just grinding out the last month of the season.
This is not golf or tennis for FSM sake
Everything is just swell :)
Except they won the game
You’re a Giants fan anyways
Can you explain why they get ticked off by that sort of thing? I really don't understand.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
Reverse the roles...
Brewers fighting for Wild Card spot
And the Diamondbacks win a game like that and do some big choreographed celebration. Do you get annoyed?
If anything its unprofessional, not to mention degrading to an opponent.
"degrading to an opponent"
what the hell is wrong with a little nose-rubbing?

Why is high-fives and hugs ok but falling over not ok?
Is there some sort of ethical boundary?
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
i think the entire brewers team should have stoically remained in the dugout
with somber expressions on their face, as they knew their victory was shallow and meaningless given their overall performance on the season. After the game, they should make sure they still have that plot in the cemetery reserved for their inevitable demise before calling their wife and kids to let them know that Daddy will always love them from above, even though he’s been a failure in life.
Question is: gameball to Fielder for the walkoff, to Looper for throwing excellently, or to McGehee for starting the triple-play?
by PagsBrewCrew on Sep 7, 2009 12:36 PM CDT up reply actions
They should have run off the field like after the Cardinals game.
Let Fielder arrive at home plate all by his lonesome so he can exchange some dignified game-closing pleasantries with the umpire before he too would retire to the clubhouse.
that was the beginning of the end
I seem to remember them doing quite well up until that point and sucking after it.
I think they brought bad karma on themselves by not having a boisterous public ceremony.

Hoffman unprofessional
Hell the guy never untucks but there he was front and center. He was at groung zero. Laughing and enjoying himself. If Hoffman gives it the ok I think the rest of baseball will be alright with it.
I probably would have laughed and not felt quite as upset
Cards Announcers On Gamel's First Career HR, ""That’s all they need is another home run hitter".
Good for the Diamondbacks, in your hypothetical situation
Seriously, why do you even bother posting here? Your posts are far more degrading to this site than anything a Brewers team does is to an opponent.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Why do the records of the teams matter in your hypothetical?
If the Brewers were fighting for a Wild Card spot, would you be okay with yesterday’s celebration? Is it more ‘professional’ if the team is in the hunt for the postseason?
And, to answer the question posed earlier, re: why so many people get worked up about the Brewers post-game celebrations: because a lot of people are ninnies.

After reading through your "posts" for the past season or so
it is quite obvious you are not a Brewers fan. Why you continually come here to spout off is beyond rationalization. You are “backtocali”? Go root for the Dodger then.
Oh Hamburgers.
Should I care?
I mean, really. You win a game, celebrate how you want. Don’t worry about teams you don’t care about.

hell there was a time 4 game under at this point in the season
Would have been a good season lol ;P
Everything is just swell :)
Because oddly enough we do have an impact on how good the baseball team we root for is
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
Is there any way this guy can be banned?
He really puts a cloud on my morning/labor day afternoon reading.

Why is it interesting?
If you win, celebrate how you want. It’s not rocket science.

It was awesome because it was choreographed

Exactly
Of course it was choreographed, Ron. That’s what made it so cool.
Or like the one guy on McCovey Chronicles saying, “If Ochocinco did that in the NFL, they’d penalize him 15 yards.”
What, did you want Prince to go back around the bases, only this time the “right” way? The game was freaking over — that’s why you can do the walkoff celebrations in the first place. After the game ends, I could care less what the other team does when it beats us.

Am I the only one who thinks the writer didn't even get the analogy correct?
Looked much more like a blast wave to me (appropriate enough if so, what with Fielder just hitting a bomb), not bowling pins.
And by analogy, I think I mean allegory.
It’s sad when you know you just might fall prey to a particular typo in five seconds, and then you can’t help but commit it anyway… Less multitasking, I guess.
as much as I love braunie
thats really funny. I mean my god, the guy wears shirts of a tiger made out of barbed wire having sex with a dolphin in the mouth in front of a ying yang symbol made of fire. it deserves some fun being poked at.
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
i'm going to have to buy one now
and look at it more closely

Here's a picture of Pujols after a walk off.

Onlty thing that would have made that celebration better
Would have it being done against the Cards can you imagine the outrage and hissy fits those people would have thrown lol
Everything is just swell :)
Axford Activated
RHP John Axford added to #Brewers’ 40-man roster, called-up to Majors this morning. He’ll wear No. 59.
Sunday Lineup
#Brewers lineup: Patterson 8, Catalanotto 7, Lopez 4, Fielder 3, McGehee 5, Gerut 9, Kendall 2, Escobar 6, Bush 1
No Braun, and Patterson is getting a start.
Sunday in AZ lineup
Wow talk about waving the white flag. But it is one less game I have to watch Cammy play so not all bad.
At least Hardy is on the Bench.
Everything is just swell :)
Ken Macha apparently does not understand the goal of a leadoff hitter
Patterson is the worst option besides Bush for the leadoff spot. If you ran a lineup simulator with projected lines, he would be leading off in all the worst lineups.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
You don't understand the goal of Ken Macha :)
He’s seen Bryce Harper. He likes Bryce Harper.
Also, cheese.

actually...
it was raining when my plane landed :).
btw, when you friended me on FB, I knew you were a BCB guy, I just didn’t know which one. But then there was a certain comment a couple of days ago about a certain center fielder, and it all became clear…
Also, cheese.
by Jeff Sackmann on Sep 7, 2009 1:07 PM CDT up reply actions
Back in April, I never would have thought this season would reach a point in which
our starting outfield for a September game would be Corey Patterson, Jody Gerut, and Frank Catalanatto.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
Especially since none of them were in the org
It’s actually a pretty sad state of affairs that any team (let alone with playoff aspirations) would ever start such an outfield.
Might be interesting to go through pbp and see what the worst ’09 single-day starting outfield was, in terms of something like pre-season ZiPS OPS. And then see how many AAA starting outfields were better :).
Also, cheese.

Now you are just baiting me
And that is really not swell I have been very well behaved the last couple of weeks been going to my meetings and everything. What are you trying to do get me off the wagon ;P lol
Everything is just swell :)
now you are really trying to get me in trouble and you know it lol
KL is going to see that and give you a demerit lol
Everything is just swell :)
If I every become a stodge grumpy old guy like this guy in the MJS
“He got hurt during that ridicolous stupid celebration yesterday. Serves them right. No place for that. You can have fun while showing some class. Prince is lucky there done with the Giants series and don’t play them today or he’d be Beemed in the head.”
Please kill me, shoot me run me down with your car just please do not let me go on living and suffering ;)
Everything is just swell :)
"there" done?
“beamed” Jim “beamed”
who got hurt?

So it Battlekow no longer a mod, than?
I only ask because I don’t see his name at the bottom of the page anymore.
yeah...
what up with that?
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
Since I have nothing to cheer for this year (see user name)...
…I have more opportunity to appreciate baseball in all its glory, and this celebration, premeditated or not is by far the coolest, funniest and best damn thing in sports this year. I was at the gym on the treadmill when I first saw this and laughed my a$$ off. Great stuff.
So many times we hear from owners, players and pundits that sports is a business, yet, what are kids taught from the moment they start playing? “Have fun!” These guys are definitely having fun. Everyone who is crying about it needs to grow a pair of humorous balls and get over it.
Nicely done Brew Crew!
