There ain't nothing to see here folks,now move along. I will,however,make an effort to strike any allusions to historical personalities, politics,literature,music,sex,or anything else that will distract you from playing with your ball of yarn in the Universe of Sports.

Don't watch. Just extreme boredom on this end with the incessant blurring of lines between sports and "news" -- in a sports blog.

Actually,I'm pretty happy about this-it can only boost membership in the Get Gaylord Perry the Hell Out of The Hall of Fame Society,which I will soon be starting and you can all join for the low price of $99.

Fox would love nothing more than to create a scandle to up the ratings. Also great point about the NL pitchers after they bat. I'm sure the umps were NOT going to put in a "you must wash you hands, kiddies, after you bat but before you pitch again" rule. This could have gotten real ugly and Kudos to Kenny for quickly washing his hands, Tony and Leyland for making it a non-issue, and the umps for dealing with the issue relatively fairly and quickly. Now back to the game . . . Is they any hope Pudge will get his swing back?? I'm thinking of batting him 8th in tommorrow's game. Good point on the TV ratings issue.

It was bitter and cold out there, and there could be a million reasons why it is was there in the first inning. The bottom line is that after the first inning, Kenny without the mud was lights out. Filthy. And no one was hitting him Pulling him out was a good idea because keeping him and then maybe heaven forbid he give up a double, then you are asking on a rusty bullpen to shut it down. The bullpen needed the work. All this kenny hype, is the media desperate for a story. Go Tigs!

The bottom line here, as far as I can tell, is that this is a fairly routine practice (which is technically illegal). Everyone involved--the umpires, Rogers, and even LaRussa--appear to be going out of their way to not talk about it because no one thinks this merits any controversy. Now the media and at least some fans, on the other hand, are quite interested in controversy. Good post, Brian Bell.

If you haven’t done that you haven’t pitched. Every one knows there are certain unspoken levels of cheating that are accepted on range of somewhere between a smirk or disgust. 1. Steroids- complete disgust 2. Corked bat-disgust 3. file while pitching-disgust with a bit of a smirk 4. pine tar up to far on the bat-slight smirk 5. pine tar on a pitchers hand while playing a game in Reykjavik, Iceland conditions- total smirk. It aint cheatin’ if you don’t get caught. Cardinals coaching didn’t have the balls to call out Kenny. Their loss. Cracks me up some people don’t know the difference. The sanctity of the Tigers season is not in any way or form in jeopardy. Cobb wore spikes that were way too big for the sole intent of slicing middle infielders, but I bet you same sour pusses who are so “ashamed” of a little pine tar probably think that fact is “neato” This is not the Black Sox scandal!!!!!! If anyone thinks it is, I’ll by your tickets so that you will have the time to atone for Kenny’s horrible sin church.
