What in the seven circles of hell happened to the Diamondbacks' uniforms? 
I don't know what's better, the punch or the glove slap after.
The Braves have fired Fredi Gonzales. Like this is any of his fault. Lol Braves
He keeps coming at him!
Bautista is about 3 seconds from turning tail and running right out of the stadium.
Didn't they call up Carl Edwards Jr. recently? I saw it in a yahoo story, but nowhere else.
Aside from some recent games, the bullpen hasn't been that bad. Plus, at this point, they need to shrink the bullpen and get another bat.
He still has an arm, I thought it fell off.
It's a long argument. Some don't see the difference between bat flips.
I personally think Bautista's bat could've sailed into the crowd the way it was thrown. It was definitely more "little bit©h" than most.
I think the game suspensions are appropriate. While Bautistas slide was a little over the line. It was straight in and he didn't spike Odor. He probably should have been suspended 3 games but 1 is okay.
Because old white guys think it's disrespectful or not playing the game the right way or some bullshit.
I am starting to agree with the Harper's and Bautistas. Baseball should be fun and I had no issue with the bat flip, mainly because it was a huge home run in a playoff game and fired up the crowd. If baseball wants to still be relevant, stop focusing on the past so much.
The operative word being "game." It's not like it's fucking rocket surgery or holding the keys to the nuclear missiles. It's a game. If you think a person deserves to get decked in the face -- basically the textbook definition of assault and battery -- for flipping a bat, but you have no objection to a pitcher pumping his fist after a strikeout, then you're just a damn hypocrite.
Which, unfortunately, applies to probably 80 percent of sportswriters.

I agree the game needs to be fun again, and not rules-lawyered into the ground, but some guys will always take it too far. Things like rules and signs are made necessary by a few stupid individuals.
It's a shame Bill Veeck isn't around to send a midget up to bat. Maybe a modern day Disco Demolition or 10¢ Beer Night is what the game needs?
I use to go to Puerto Rico all the time, my ex-fiancee's Puerto Rican. We would go to the games there, that was some of the best baseball I've ever watched. They had awesome fields, like really nice Minor League stadiums. They played hard but with a lot of fun. A lot of talking and joking, they stole bases all the time. It didn't matter what the score was, because the other team could score 15 runs in a inning. If I could play baseball, it would be in Puerto Rico.
