I really hate this stupid “morality for the cameras” crap.

“If we do happen to bar alcohol from the clubhouses, you have to understand the intent of this thing and what it looks like,” Torre said, according to the Globe. “We’re up there and we’re role models, or we should be role models for the youngsters and how they behave.

“Guys understand that if they want to do something, they’re going to do something. They’re grown-ups. It’s something where we implement rules that we feel would be best for the game and who we’re being watched by. We’ve got to look at it.”

1) How about take the press out of the club house? They are the ones that have no business in there

2) Does this mean the 800 beer commercials per game are now banned?

It’s all about scapegoats. Daniel Bard 11 games, 10.64 ERA 0-4

I didn’t hear anything about Bard drinking beers or Papelbon who gave up Game 162 eating chicken before blowing it to the Orioles?

The funny thing is, I know a ton of Red Sox fans and not one seems to mention the chicken/beer etc.

And I’m sure starting off ice cold in April didn’t help either.

If the Red Sox had made the playoffs, the fried chicken and video games would have been an example of their club house chemistry and relaxed approach to the game and a bunch of brothers having fun or whatever stupid cliche you want to throw in there.

Or has everyone already forgotten the way the 1986 champs behaved?

Man you really hate Free Agents and any player over 29 don’t you?

You can’t contend without players over 30 and yes you do need OLDER veterans too. Once you realize that you’ll be happier

He is going to get paid a boatload even from the Cards, so just a question of how big a boat.

So, will the extra whatever ($ or years) going to be worth going from his comfortable home (and if he signs back up, he will have a lifetime pass!), to potentially becoming the next Lebron? Or at least A Rod…

If pujols jumps for a little extra money, he instantly loses a ton of his credibility, and certianly his aura.

Dodgers: Good timing considering some pending free agents. I’d like to see them right the ship over there.

I’d be shocked if Prince is a Brewer next year. The Cubs are too perfect a fit, but I don’t doubt some AL Team could sneak in and grab him.

I’d be more shocked if Albert was not a Cardinal. I think their comeback and their playoff run and then his Game 3 performance proved he’s worth an open checkbook. There are few players ever who have that kind of impact on the game and he’s one of them. I don’t think any Cardinals fan ever will complain about what they are paying him, ever.
