08:20 AM ET 10.25 | Despite his Game 5 heroics, Mike Napoli did come up a little short in the sixth inning. The out ended the inning, but it also revealed that St. Louis starter Chris Carpenter isn't a fan of Napoli. FOX television cameras aired Carpenter's reaction after the ball was caught, and it looked as if the right-hander mouthed a few expletives in Napoli's direction. The Rangers catcher was asked about those words during the post game press conference. ... "It's unfortunate if he was yelling at me because we've never had any things going on. So it's unfortunate, but it's not my -- I'm not going to pursue anything." Apparently it has nothing to do with Napoli, Carpenter just doesn't like any of his opponents.

He's a ****. Plain and simple... In a game of gentlemen (see Mike Young, Mike Napoli, entire Rangers team), he is a thug that lacks sportsmanship and class. I'm sure his children were proud while watching him lose control on national television. Loser....

At least Napoli took the high-road. He could have buried Carpenter and created a media mess, but didn't.

Good for him.

Yeah, he's always been a tremendous Dick Head, but results are what people will always care about. When he shut out the Phillies in game 5 no one really cared about how big of an **** hole he was

Perhaps Carpenter is mad at American League hitters in general considering he sucked for 7 years in Toronto.

game of gentlemen? Were you watching cricket?? Give it a rest. Carpenter may not be the nicest guy in the world but please stop with the gentleman nonsense. Makes you sound like a jilted hooker.
