To Puig or not to Puig
Yasiel Puig was fined by the L.A. Dodgers for showing up late at the stadium Tuesday in Miami before the team’s game with the Marlins. Puig said he was caught in traffic. Guess he should have called Lebron James for advice on getting a police escort.
Think I’ve figured this out. Dodgers fans know Yasiel Puig is a spirited young sweetheart, Giants fans know he’s an immature young punk. And if he’d signed with SF we’d both know the opposite.

SF Giants score tying run on a foul ball, and winning run on a bases loaded walk on a strike. Cue Rod Serling.
(as my friend Robert says, “Let’s all acknowledge that ball four was closer to a strike than anything A-Rod saw from another Red Sox pitcher.)
–
And the Giants won 3-2 despite being 0-10 with runners in scoring position.

–Jennifer Lopez will apparently be returning to American Idol this year. Translation, neither of them had a better offer.

Ah consistency, thy name is not MLB. Ryan Dempster was suspended for five games and fined for hitting A-Rod with a pitch. If Dempster appeals his suspension, however, it will be heard and decided right away.
–
But major lesson from the Ryan Dempster-Alex Rodriguez “incident”: If you’re going to throw at someone, have enough control to hit them on the first pitch.

From Bill Littlejohn: During Sunday’s game, Colts QB Chandler Harnish hit sideline reporter Pam Oliver in the face with a pass. It was the most errant pass to a sideline reporter since Joe Namath’s on Suzy Kolber.

Al Jazeera America has started broadcasting, and of course there are questions about its potential bias. As opposed to our unbiased U.S. networks…. This from Jim Pinkerton on Fox News today “But look, they’re an Arab news channel and let’s face it, many if not most Arabs probably support what bin Laden was trying to do in terms of killing Americans and so on.

Three kids who shot and killed an 20 year old Australian college baseball player in Oklahoma said they did it because “we were bored and we didn’t have anything to do so we decided to kill somebody.”
Actually if they wanted to alleviate boredom with a gun I’m thinking they could have spent as much of the day as it took playing Russian Roulette

An interesting combination of discipline and absolutely no discipline.

The problem is Russian Roulette means one poor sod gets his brains blown out. That couldn’t happen to any of these three morons.

Unbelievable! An NFL player was suspended when he tore off the helmet of another player and started hitting him with it. The player who was the aggressor wasn’t named Ndamukong Suh!
