Re: the kiss
I'm just gonna copy & paste what I wrote on another board
It's like Derek Lowe's "crotch chop" at the end of Game 5 of the 2003 ALDS. Guys get a lot more pissed off after losing a heartbreaker of a game.
I don't think it was that bad. It was a big moment in the game and he got a huge out from the A's best hitter. Still, probably better to not do it but I'm not flipping out over it. I think the Tigers and at least the fans that I've encountered have been pretty classy so far this postseason.
That said though, I do hope Cespedes does what he said - hit a moonshot off Albuquerque in Oakland and kiss his bat before rounding the bases....
