Do you think some baseball players are mean?

As to where money and sports collide, so does the dark side of humans. Some of the athletes I have met are as nice as you could imagine. Others, I would rather have a dentist appointment than endure their presence again.

The Yankees have fans?  Seriously?  No way!  Maybe bandwagon groupies but surely not fans.  A fan is loyal, knowledgable, and someone who gladly experiences the pain of the downs because he knows that will only make the ups feel that much better.  I'm sorry, but anyone I've ever met who rooted for the Yankees didn't have any of those things.  I've met a lot of wannabe fans who sport a NY hat because they think it's a status symbol or that it'll make them appear as a thug.  But a Yankees fan?  No, I'm sorry but that's nothing more than an oxymoron.  But yes, I do find these groupies to be extremely bitter people.

Why should I feel sorry for him?  He's the one associating with known steroid users.  If he wants the media to leave him alone, then he should retire.  I'm sick of him whining.  I couldn't imagine how much baseball ratings would decline if he broke the record.

I just watched it a little bit ago, and have to admit that it is hilarious to watch. That said, however, his actions were an embarassment to himself, his team and the game of baseball. He's been suspended for a week as a result, something I find appropriate.

It Occurs to me that anyone who is more concerned about someone elses team than their own isnt really a fan of ANY team... Thats you Georgie. Because in all honesty, if every 3 words out of 5 that spew out of yer mouth is about the Yankees and you have the Old english D as yer icon, i seriously call into question what the hell you TRUELLY are! I mean, are you a front running Detroit fan who only recently with this years success found god and the Tigers and decided to let go of your moms nipple and leave home to become a bandwagon jumping "Fan" of the Tigers. Or are you a closet yankee fan who became embittered by the fact they let go of sum player you adored so youve decided that to be what you are, a Hatter, is better than to root for them anymore.. ILD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW! I actually respect Detroit, and like their team, but can they actually WIN a World Series BEFORE you annoint them the team of the coming decade... afterall, it has been AWHILE for them. Talk about your team, talk about yer amazing pitching..talk about yer great manager, and blossoming young lineup and downright scarey bullpen... because if you were a real Tiger fan, THAT is what you would be doing you Freegin Pretender.  You beat the Hated Yankees and then in a WS that everyone and their grandmother thought the Tigers would Walk Through (including me), The Tigers get bent over, lubed up, and buttpounded on national TV... and now after reading the crap youve spewed on here, it couldnt happen to a nicer team. Oh! and by the way Georgie..PINETAR ANYONE!!?

Baseball players have grass (or astro turf) and dirt to spit on, and basketball players don't, they wouldn't want to ruin their nice court floor.  hehe, what do I know? NOthing apparently lol.

Who cares about this chucklehead's personality?  Can he do the job? Everyone on the team has to find their place. There is warm and fuzzy guy who relates well to the kids, the good looking one that all the girlies ooh & ahh over and then you have rock dude, etc...  You have to have the he-man - not so pleasant man's man. WE are talking about baseball, right? Not appliances.  So in the end, whatever their personality is, they have to be able to pitch or hit or catch the best.

We are all forgetting Ken Caminett..Jose Canseco is a hero..He shed light on a major problem..All the way to the owner of these teams..And coaches to stand by and let this go on...Just think if you were a manager of yor sons or daughter baseball or softball team would you stand by as your child coach and just let them shoot up...NO I didn't think so...In 1984 there was an aricle in the Modesto Bee about it, I was a junior in high school...Mark and Jose were young pups when they arived on the sence of the steroid issue in baseball...But as the "Basher Bothers" took hold and they were on the top, ya don't think they didn't use but for the owners to sit back and let it happen they too are apart of the "Basher Brothers" big Bash in baseball in the 80's

That's the strangest question I've ever seen....seriously you might as well suggest that your favorite baseball player has homosexual tendencies because he patted his friends rear end after a home run....jeeze get a life kid.

I did.  This my sound  strange coming from a high school\numpire, but I found this to be VERY funny, and VERY\nentertaining. I also think he should be suspended, for\nthrowing the bats out of the dugout. He nearly hit the\nbat  boy.

you have such a good point i always wondered that. its like, gay in the majors and when you see little league coaches do it to their players...damn. no offense to them it just seems a little out there..im with you on that.

Yes, probably many times, for arguing balls and strikes.  This happened to Eddie Kranepool of the Mets in the early 1970s and Tom Seaver was sent up to pinch-hit. (Seaver had pitched one or two days before, so could be safely used.)

Personally i think they get a high from the insults, it increase their ego position relative to others like "I'm better" "i win" and it entertains them.So concentrate on ways of making the event uneventful or unfun for the players without falling in the trap to get involved in the game.Walk away!!

I can't believe the way people act towards the Yankees. Having been a Yankee fan for as long as I can remember (and I am 30+) I've have supported them thru winning and losing seasons. And I've endured much ridicule and many jeers for doing so. The biggest thing I hear is how Steinbreiner buys pennants. This is not true. All teams have the same option of turn profits back into the team. He's a great business man. And he pays dearly for it. All the teams benefit from his hefty payroll because he pays the highest luxury tax in the league. \nYankees fans are all over...not just in New York.
