MLB to Decide Rogers Fate

I didn't know there were jurisdictions in baseball.

The Rangers talked with MLB on Thursday. Because the incident occurred on the field, MLB has jurisdiction. A decision on possible discipline is expected Friday, Texas owner Tom Hicks said.

"At this point there's nothing the Texas Rangers will or can do," Hicks said. "We will support whatever the commissioner decides."

So it's all up to Bud and his Buddies. Of course, it doesn't mean the Rangers can do nothing. I would not be surprised to see Rogers moved to another team. Most teams want to have good relations with the media that cover them. Moving Kenny would help restore that.

There's a team in eastern Pennsylvania who sure could use a LHP.

Kenny is a 40 year-old idiot.

Two words (from a Mets fan): Andruw Jones.

The problem of infantile 'acting out' by professional athletes has just about finished me for professional sports.

Pro athletes are obscenely overpaid. They are the most snivelling of crybabies when their poor feelings get hurt. When it suits them they are cheap thugs who display their machismo bullying those who don't make a living by staying in shape and aren't having anger management problems from overdosing on anabolic steroids.

For me, professional athletes have sunk in stature to about the level of dumpster divers. I suppose the difference might be, dumpsters divers work harder and earn less money.

Kenny Rogers, has become "Nuke" Lalouche, the fictional pitching-ace, meatball, from Bull Durham, "a real nuclear meltdown."

My fantasy for the other evening's incident would be that he had assaulted a martial arts champion, who in self defense had delivered a bone shattering roundhouse kick to Rogers's left arm, leaving the pitching-ass to spend the rest of the season sucking his (other) thumb and thinking about what he's going to do when he grows up.
