It's obviously one of the largest conspiracy's ever in the history of baseball and the only scandal that rival's this can only be the Black Sox ordeal.

It's not the end of the world, Duane. Don't get all worked up over it. Geez.

I'm obviously biased and think that La Russa is a dirty manager. He does a lot of shady things, and this one just adds to his record.

Who's worked up here, Andy?

St. Louis manager Tony La Russa was asked if the Cardinals considered not starting the game, given the forecast.

Home field advantage has its perks, I guess.

At least the Reds won that year.

Not worked up, Admiral. I just thought it would be an interesting topic for discussion.

But I guess that makes me naive according to someone.

14-0 for Tony El. Like Dan suggested, MLB should change the rule if it creates controvery.

I'm not worked up as I have no interest on either side. I'm just failing to comprehend how the guy cheated in any way.

It seems logical to believe that you do because you're the one asking the question, right?

Yes, I'm biased a bit. Cheating or no cheating, it was a bit shady. I might be down with Dan's suggestion about changing the rule, but I'm not convinced a rule change would be in order for this one incident. But once again, read my post again which I have quoted below.

Seems like you've made up you mind and are looking for validation and not discussion. 14 people voted negatory and yet you still seem determined to cry foul.

This calls for a Congressional Inquiry!

Did you notice that I didn't vote yes in this poll? I'm not that determined.

If only internet retailers had as high quality sticks as B&Ms...

The bigger question is, when did Dusty Baker start caring about his pitchers?

He didn't get to overwork him enough Friday night.
