This, from Jose Bautista, is just a tremendous way to let the world know you are a serious, serious motherfucker. In the seventh inning, Orioles reliever Jason Garcia threw behind Bautista on the first pitch of the at bat. Bautista stared him down immediately, but the at bat continued until he smoked a 3-1 pitch to the center field seats. It was such a well-timed blast that he stared into eternity while making a face that says Oh, that is quite nice. Quite nice, indeed.Then he tossed the bat aside as though he had absolutely no use for it, like it was just some thing in his hands while he simply moved the ball through space with his mind. He even stole a quick peek at Garcia, just to further emphasize his domination, before taking his sweet time rounding the bases and cursing out anyone who looked at him. Finally, after crossing home plate, he took a nice long stare into the Orioles dugout.
There's been bad blood brewing between Baltimore and Toronto for a while now and this is just the latest, most delightful chapter.[MLB]
