I think he did that yesterday, especially when he started pushing Hunter Pence's face. Doesn't seem like he cares about his teammates much.

It's possible but unlikely given his performance thus far but it's more that he let his emotions dictate his actions in the first place rather than what happened after punches were thrown. Hard to really read much into the aftermath there.

You mean both times when Harper stood in the box admiring his shot instead of rounding the bases like he should've? I would have beaned the ****er too.


In both cases the HRs were close to the foul pole and it seemed like Harper was watching to make sure they were fair. That said, after the second HR he stared down Strickland while rounding the bases and then started yelling at him from the dugout. Bottom line, they're both tools with short fuses so it's not surprising they don't like each other.

That's not that close to the foul pole, but he's not doing anything that out of the ordinary. I think the multiple stare-downs as he rounded the bases the second time he took Strickland deep is what really pissed off Hunter.

I'll give you the first one but the second was definitely close, especially off the bat. Certainly not far enough away from the pole to justify beaning a guy three years later. I agree with you that the eyeballing and yelling from the dugout were what did it.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant the 1st homerun wasn't close to the foul pole, not both.

The Warriors look unstoppable, I think Lebron will will his team to a win somewhere in this series, but you just can't guard all of this talent

Warriors scored 132 points in game 2, yet they "only" won by 19

Kinda crazy to think that they could actually perform better

Yeah, they played really sloppy for long stretches during the first two games and still won by a combined 40-something points. With Steph and Klay on the outside keeping the D honest, Durant has tons of room to do his thing. I don't know how you stop them outside of several players having off-nights at the same time.

That KD pull-up 3 with a minute left was clutch as **********************, I still can't believe he made it

The KD hate is getting to absurd levels. I'm not a huge Warriors fan but it's just ridiculous how much hate he gets for leaving a team he had no ties to during Free Agency.

I got into an argument with a guy who said it was the biggest BS move in the history of sports. I said "pretty sure Lindros is worse", but even though he didn't initially know who that was he said "so what he just didn't want to play for a team that drafted him".... :help:

KD is cold hearted.

Tristan Thompson is trash.

Poor Steph is averaging career highs in the playoffs and finals, but still won't capture his first Finals MVP.

Technically, KD didn't play for the team that drafted him all of those years. :sarcasm:

ha! Steal a game and get a taco!

Let me guess the rules are today only 11am-4pm. Participating taco bells only.

Must buy something else as well
