My Dodgers do have an offense after all. I've never seen a ballplayer use his jaw to break another player's leg, but i saw it tonight. Chase Utley is one tough hombre. Ouch!!!
I will say this. The Mets fans are a bunch of cry babies. Utley gets a two day suspension for playing tough baseball. So that means that every time Pete Rose slid into a base, he should have been suspended. Every time players went way out of their way to spike Jackie Robinson, they should have been suspended.
This is why I can't take baseball fans seriously. Bringing up situations and players from 50-60 years ago as if everything that stood then should apply now. You're bringing up Jackie Robinson being spiked purposely? Are you going to pretend that was just part of the game with no other intent? You know exactly why that was.
Things change and as long as baseball keeps up with "tradition" with things like this or trotting out extremely older people out at the All-Star Game instead of showcasing current talent, baseball will continue to be a decaying sport.
P.S. If Utley's suspension is overturned, you can expect to see the Mets pitcher throw one at his head. I don't think that Utley will say anything the first time that it happens, but the second time will be different.
Why bother beaning a .200 hitter during a crucial playoff game?
They'll get 'em where it hurts more.
I don't want him to get beaned at all, but it's not that he's just a .200 hitter, he's a .200 hitter with 12 years of big league experience. I'd rather have him at the plate, in a crucial situation, than Yasiel Puig or Joc Pedersen.
I absolutely agree with that. I'm just saying that the Mets wouldn't be wise to bean him.
Really really great to see the Cardinals eliminated.

Shameful play by the Cards. They didn't deserve to win.

liked seeing the Cubs win.
Well I can't say I enjoyed it. But they deserved it.
I, too, know the pain of your team falling apart at the seams, then dying to the Cubs pitching. Also. Arrieta.
It wasn't the pitching, it was the hitting.
