Alek Manoah Calls Gerrit Cole The "Worst Cheater In Baseball History"

Gotta give credit where credit is due the Blue Jays players have done almost everything in their power to create a heated rivalry with the Yankees over the recent years. Everything besides beating them of course. The cockiness and arrogance they display despite having done absolutely zero in the playoffs is impressive. The Blue Jays just want their attention, and hey I mean it works, right? All it took here was Manoah to dabble into a quick little troll about Cole and now that video is trending across Twitter. Manoah LOVES playing the villain and starting shit. This is just par for the course for him. 

By the way, this is all good for baseball. We desperately need legitimate rivalries. The Yankees and Red Sox clash has died off a bit in the recent years with Chaim settling for last place each season. The Blue Jays are young, fun, and loud. Every time they get going against the Yankees it's a war. There's nothing wrong with two teams hating each other —in fact it's great. You had Vladdy Jr. say recently he'd never sign with the Yankees, even if he were dead. Good! Earlier in the year Manoah called out Cole, challenging him to fight the next time he's got a problem with him.  Enough of this buddy, buddy friendly shit that's transpired over the last decade. Add more fuel to the fire and make these matchups in the future full of hostility.

Hey maybe next year Manoah well get off his fat ass and get out there for a brawl! 

P.S. Serge Ibaka clearly having no clue what spider tack is had me in tears. Just goes "ok" and moves on.
