Count baseball as another arena where religious discussions don't mix well, and thank Rays pitcher Matt Garza and Orioles slugger Luke Scott for reminding us why.The verbal spat between the two began after Garza said he was seeking "payback" for an ugly start in Baltimore back in July, something he was, nominally at least, successful in doing Friday night in a victory over the O's.
Scott didn't appreciate Garza's comments, offering a verse from the Bible (Proverbs 3:34: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble") as reason why they were inappropriate.
Garza responded by saying Scott was hypocritical given his home run celebration, which, like that of many other hitters, includes a point to the sky, hugging and high fives with teammates.
