Read this line in Extra Mustard/Hot Clicks on SI.com today & it's been bugging me ever since: The Mets were down 7-0 when Brewers 2B Rickie Weeks hit a deep home run off D.J. Carrasco and then admired it before running to first. Carrasco exacted revenge on the next batter, Ryan Braun, by plunking him in the shoulder.


Bold added by me. watch the video... if THAT is admiring a home run, what the hell do they call it when Pujols, Griffey, or Sosa stand around? Dude, if you're gonna write something that many people read, at least take the time to actually WATCH what you're commenting on.

I don't think Rickie has EVER admired a home run. In fact, his "head down & running" is the direct opposite of what is the norm in baseball today.
