Dallas Braden yells at A-Rod for breaking unwritten rules

[Providence A's]

Yes, you are correct. My point was it wasn't against a team I liked.

[Slyder]

glad I could break the three way tie.

Both these boys need to grow up. This is nothing more than 2 spoiled brats fighting over something stupid trying to get their way.

Ok, I can go with the thought process that “no one has ever heard of it so Braden must have pulled the “unwritten rule” out of his ass”………however, does anyone clearly recall players crossing the mound to go back to their respective bases as a regular occurrence? I certainly don’t see it happening, so perhaps it is just what Braden and others have claimed simply something that among players, it's a no-no.

I also happen to agree with Braden on the point that it shouldn’t matter whether he was a Cy Young winner or guy that has “won a handful of games”.

Unfortunately, the days of Bob Gibson are gone, you can’t let on that you are sending a message since the umps even eject and they can get suspended when a ball innocently gets away from them. Heaven forbid you should put a complete unmitigated ass in his place.
