I wouldn't go to another country to see ANY PLAYER, and that was my main contention.  Do I harbor animosity towards the fans coming to see Matsuzaka?  No.  For that matter, people of other countries DO heckle Americans, and you'd know that if you traveled abroad.

As far as Papi/Popy, please rip me in two for not winning your Spelling Bee...I'll try harder next time (simple typo, my fault).  My point with Greinke vs. Papi was this: Greinke made Papi K looking thrice, and I gave him props.  I thought and have always though it is horribly unprofessional of a professional athlete to jaw at an Offical.  Do I understand this to be part of the game, absolutely.  However, Papi threw a fit b/c he wasn't getting the calls he felt entitled to.  On replay, many balls by both pitchers were low, but they were CONSISTENTLY called.  That was the K-zone established by the Ump so Papi needed to man up and accept it.  This was my sole purpose in that description, and if I truly offended others, I apologize.

I refuse to apologize for making good debate points, however.  I think you are a bit high-strung, and you need to cool it a bit.

Although I disagree with NHZ removing my original post, I understand how he perceived it that way, especially after your blowup.  Please don't instruct me on how to manage myself when you obviously need to learn a bit about citizenship yourself.
