I guess the last part might have been a little too much, but I didn’t think it was that bad.
LOL, I love Chris Perez.
Pure Rage speaking about the unspoken rule… I doubt MLB hates the rule, but they know they have to enforce it as a matter of public perception (and I’m sure they don’t mind making a little coin on the side).
Should have said “eye for an eye” haha fine that one
Yeah, it’s the last sentence that got him fined. Apparently getting even with Twitter is fine-worthy now. Did Goodell become co-commissioner of MLB as well?
considering where Moustakas got hit, perhaps “turn the other cheek” would be more appropriate?
plumbing new depths of stupidity.
not to be stopped, he followed up with another classic (attached).
i submit ricky vaughn would have be able to spell two of the three words correctly.
Maybe I’m just glass half full kinda guy, Jim, but I was admiring his use of a semi-colon. In a tweet, yet. That should be worth a couple hundred dollar discount on the fine. For setting literacy standards and whatnot.
