i don't find it irritating at all. every game is important and he knows that. you know hes giving you 100% every time he goes out and he takes nothing for granted. do you people understand what "fired up" means? K-Rod is seriously something special because he takes EVERY game as serious as game 7 of the world series, and he gets the job done more consistently and frequently than any other closer in baseball. IIRC, Dotel was yellin and screamin last night after he struck out shoppach. I'd rather have him acting like that then acting like he did against the cubs. wouldn't you?
I'm not against a little fist pump or something like that, but this dude has a 10 minute dance thing he does. Yelling like a idiot. Give me a cool and calm pitcher with ice water running in his veins than some idiot running around like a show off. You never used to see Sandy Koufax or Bob Gibson doing little dances. You gonna tell me those guys didn't take things serious.
