So what? To act as though he cheated seems to implicate that the other team had no means of communication. If you think they showed up to the stadium with no sense of what the weather was going to do and had no means of monitoring it throughout the entire time they're there, you're very naive.

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

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.

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?
