Friday, October 6,1989 The Battalion Page 9 dp I989 Blue Jays offended by A’s ‘showboating’ TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays and Oakland Athletics took a day off from the American League playoffs Thursday and spent it trading insults. Toronto third baseman Kelly Gruber accused Oakland of “show boating” during its victories in the first two games of the series. Talking about Dave Parker’s slow home-run trot in Game 2, Gruber said: “I don’t particularly care for the hot dog type. It sort of makes me want to get some vengeance.” Toronto catcher Ernie Whitt started the verbal war on Wednes day when he said he was angry that Rickey Henderson didn’t slide while stealing second base in the seventh inning of Oakland’s 6-3 victory. Whitt said Henderson tried to show up Toronto. Henderson said he didn’t slide because there wasn’t a throw. Oakland Manager Tony La Russa took exception to Whitt’s comments. “If he’s taking it personal and he’s embarrassed, he’s a fool,” he was quoted as saying in a Toronto news paper. La Russa said Thursday he did make the statement and then de fended his team from Toronto’s at tacks. “When you get to the postseason, there is a lot of emotion on both sides,” La Russa said. “You cele brate. If I thought some of my peo- )le overdid it, I would be one of the irst people to say, ‘Keep it down.’” “ 1 saw the Blue Jays celebrate a lot the last two months. Hey, you get happy when you do something good. Now that we got something going good, I don’t like some of the comments that make it sound like we’re showing people up. We’re ex cited that we’re doing good, just as they would be.” Gruber, attending the off-day news conference, backed up Whitt and attacked Oakland anew. “It’s sort oflike rubbing salt in the wound,” he said of Oakland’s behav ior. “I believe that you play hard and try to win with grace. I’m glad I’m not a pitcher because you would see a lot of heads ducking. There might be some messages I’d send up there. The staring and the long walks around the bases may be their style of game. I just don’t like it. Show boating doesn’t mean anything to me.” Oakland worked out under the closed roof of the SkyDome while Toronto Manager Cito Gaston chose to let his players rest. The Blue Jays arrived home at 2 a.m. Thursday.
