Look, I respect what Drysdale and Gibson did in their careers, but all that "why, he'd hit you with a 95 mph projectile if you so much as looked at him!" crap is the wrong stuff to glorify. Inflicting pain isn't what baseball is about, and we'd be better off without a lot of that posturing. I will say, however, that batters better stay in the box and off the plate or they've only themselves to blame.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Alright, Victorino didn't order a beer while he was out in centerfield, why was he served one? And while he was trying to catch a ball too?

I just saw that, too. That's a straight up disgrace. Being a huge Cubs fan, I'm embarassed. That's not what Chicago is about. Yeah, we're prolly frustrated about how that game has turned out but you don't have to toss a beverage out to one of the other teams players. Show some god damn respect and get out, man.

Sheesh

I caught that too. What a joke, it was good to see the other fans not putting up with it. The guy was probably pretty drunk, but that's no excuse.

Turns out this guy is getting turned in to the police. The Cubs' organization is pressing charges.

What a punk. It's bad enough that he dumped a beer on a player just before he made a catch (quite dangerous), then he blamed another guy and let that guy get escorted out. The guy probably paid 100 bucks for his ticket and did not get to leave when he chose to because some jackass did this and blamed him.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Red Sox acquire Alex Gonzalez

I couldn't be happier. I loved Gonzo when he played here in 2006 and am excited for his electric defense to be back in Beantown!

looks like Brandon Phillips really will be moving to shortstop after all.

Paul Janish and Adam Rosales will get the bulk of the time at short. If Phillips moves, more like when, it'll probably be starting next year if Todd Frazier is ready.

That attitude is exactly why we have big babies such as Prince Fielder, Fat Panda, and Alex Rodriguez in the game today. They've eliminated the ability for the men to police themselves and allow the babies to flourish. I'm not glorifying it, but holy cow the way baseball is played today makes soccer look like a contact sport. Players whine about hard slides, they whine about a pitch inside, they whine about not getting paid, they whine about not playing, they whine about the ball park and it's walls being too far out. All I hear out of baseball are a bunch of whining babies who need to get spanked by real men. Hell, Nolan Ryan did it to Robin Ventura when Ventura went out to challenge him. We need more men like Nolan in this game and less babies. Wait a minute, I guess that's what you get when you expand by 4 teams and let 100 players in the majors who have no reason for being there, you have to fill out the rosters with a bunch of immature babies who need to be coddled and have everything go their way. I don't get this baby attitude by players these days. Just play the friggin game hard and stop whining about everything.

Maybe baseball isn't the entertainment you're really looking for, oddball
