Pete Rose scoffs....

....and then goes back to signing a baseball for cash in front of a memorabilia store in Vegas.

"Josh Hamilton is the best player to walk the planet." - Ian Kinsler

Kinsler needs to learn how to hit a ball without backspin

When you hit a ball which hits the BACK of the top of the center field fence, you want the ball to bounce OVER the fence; not back on the field!

Significant flaw in his game if you ask me.

Who is the hitting coach over there anyway?!

Kinsler ain't exactly havin' a good baserunnin' playoffs

I know who I would invite as a special coach to Spring Training next year.

Too many rules going on here if you ask me

So Ian Kinsler has been suspended for one game for joining his team in an on-field celebration of a walk-off victory after he had earlier been ejected from the game.

?!?!

A game ejection does not end at the conclusion of the game?

Do the umpires do like an "attendance" thing during these celebrations?

Can he stand at the clubhouse tunnel to the field and give his teammates a celebratory thumbs-up?

Can he be seen?

Can he be anywhere in sight of the field?

Where is his line of demarcation?

Clarification needed here.

Card of the Year

It just is.

You can't deny it.

Happy New Year all!
