To Gatorade or not to Gatorade, That is the Question

We have a new sports talk controversy for the Mike and the Mad Dog show. First it was over-the-top homerun celebrations. Then it was the fist pump. Now, after today's Yankees walk-off win, Robinson Cano doused Bobby Abreu with Gatorade, spurring a flurry (ok maybe just a few) of calls about whether or not a team that is 6 games out of first, can dump Gatorade on a player after a win. Some have argued that the Mets would be killed if they did this. Some have defended it. What's your take? To Gatorade or not to Gatorade, that is the Question...

It's OK, let them have their fun. They're one Sidney Ponson bad outing away from AL East mediocrity ;-)

I think that IF TWO BOZOS can BLOW BLOOD VESSELS, BECOME ENEMIES, DISRESPECT OTHERS, YELL, CRY , WHINE, BITCH AND MOAN--------SIMPLY TALKING ABOUT SPORTS......(this is a HYPOTHETICAL PAIR OF BOZOS)

Well I kind of think that just about ANY show of emotion by those individuals ACTUALLY TALENTED ENOUGH to make a living in front of 50000 people by PLAYING the game is OK.

I do love that russo always go back to guys like DiMaggio.."ahh listen, would DiMaggio be throwing Gatorade all over the place.."

who are sports talk hosts going to look back on in like 50 years for comparison - "ahh listen, would Manny Ramirez have done that"...just doesn't quite work the same

How long have Yankee detractors been on them for their stodgy "corporate" image? Now they do something spontaneous on a brutally hot day, and it's "calm down, that's embarrassing." Give me a break.

But...

1) If they keep doing it, that will really be embarrassing; 2) next time a team gets a walk-off hit against them and does the Gatorade thing, the Yankees better not say a word.

Plus, you see

To Saddog, THIS game would ONLY be huge if the Yanks LOST it....see how that works?
