And Belliard may not have intentionally landed on Reyes, but he didn't need to stay on top of him for as long as he did. You don't have to agree with me on that, because that could be just my opinion.
But can you explain the point of this?:

There's nothing wrong with celebrating your victory, but come on.
I'm sure you still see nothing wrong with it. Whatever, I'm done.

You're right, people say things in the heat of the moment - and the Cards had just lost an emotional game, so hey, if Pujols doesn't think Glavine had his stuff that night (I believe that is the comment you're referring to), then so be it. If you listened to any commentator after that game, they said the same thing: Glavine got away with a lot of hittable pitches.
As to the celebration - I assume you've never been in a locker room (high school, college, pro, whatever), because that stuff happens EVERYWHERE. I guarantee similar comments were made in the Mets locker room about the Cardinals, or after the first round series. The only difference here is someone reported it.
Be upset your team lost, root for the other team, whatever - but the Cardinals weren't acting any differently than 99% of athletes would in that situation.
