Is it weird that I like the fact that he used pine tar?  And I also like that the fact he was ejected?

No.

Batters can use gloves and pine tar all they want, but pitchers can't...

If I ever made it to a pro leauge I would have used it as much as I could get away with. 

Is it cheating?  Yes. 

But it's also baseball.  People that didn't play past a certain point hate it when someone says "its baseball" but that's just the way it is.  I promise nobody on either team really cared all that much and if the pitcher hadn't been so obvious with it, nobody would have said a word.

Hell, the Boston manager is practically apologizing for having to call the umpire to the mound.  "It was just so obvious..."  Translation:  "damn kid, you have to be smarter with the tak"
