This And That

- Seemingly out of nowhere, Major League Baseball has gone and banned those gladiator helmets from the Mariner bullpen. I'd make some crack about how "if you can't protect a lead, you can't protect your head" but honestly I just feel bad for them. Although I guess the whole us-against-the-world perspective kind of plays right into their theme for the season. Do you think Miguel Batista's DNA is on any of the helmets? And on a completely unrelated note, do you think the helmets will now be auctioned off to the public? No reason.
- MRI for Erik Bedard on Friday, as his shoulder still feels funny. Let's face it: he's probably done for the year, which would means his Mariner career would end with 30 starts and 164 innings. On the plus side, I have a delicious pretzel.
All of baseball learned a lesson from our grave lapse in judgment. I guess that's something.
- Four lefties in the lineup for KC tonight against Luke French and his allegedly sexy slider. On top of that, the only righty worth a damn is Billy Butler. Landings don't get much softer than this.

So Eli Whiteside hit a grand slam today.
Also, fuck Bud Selig in his mangy, Barry Bonds’ cock-stretched ass.

Are you trying to acquire Miguel Batista DNA for some elaborate frame job?

So MLB didn't even bother providing a reason for banning the helmets?
There’s gotta be a reason, that makes no sense.

They claim it's defacing the uniform, MLB Rule 1.11
Read all the rules on what you can and cannot do for a funny read. Way more details on that than things like PEDs. It’s ridiculous! Note that Felix is on the borderline of what’s appropriate with the way he wears his pants long…

Baker thinks MLB may have the mistaken notion the guys are WEARING the helmets.

Ban the Helmets....but not the Backpacks?
They band the Helmets because they are not offical MLB uniforms…..
Then the Pink Backpacks must be
