Rangers pitcher Matt Garza rips Eric Sogard and his wife in offensive Twitter rant

After the game, Garza went on a shocking misogynistic rant on his protected Twitter account, blasting Sogard and his wife for corrupting a “man’s game.”http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/08/rangers-pitcher-matt-garza-rips-eric-sogard-and-his-wife-in-offensive-twitter-rant/http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/08/rangers-pitcher-matt-garza-rips-eric-sogard-and-his-wife-in-offensive-twitter-rant/

“It’s a man’s game.”

Texas Rangers pitcher Matt Garza is not very good at fielding sacrifice bunts. The Oakland Athletics decided to exploit this weakness Saturday in the seventh inning, as Eric Sogard laid down a squeeze bunt — his second successful bunt of the day and the Athletics’ fourth of the game — to drive home Alberto Callaspo and increase the A’s lead to 4-2. Garza was furious, stared down Sogard as he ran past and yelled something in his direction. Garza claims he asked “if there were any good places to eat in Oakland?” As the Dallas Morning News notes, it isn’t likely Garza asked that exact question, as the Rangers stay in San Francisco when playing the Athletics. Sogard’s wife, Kaycee, was ecstatic with the bunt.

Not sure where my last tweet went, but I find it funny
Eric is probably the last person to respond to getting called names.

just because Sogard bunted, he somehow ruined the game of baseball? I just don't get Garza's logic there. People bunt all the time to advance men on base.

At least there's plenty of input for the outrage factory.
