This is a load of shit, a non-story stared by a worthless minor-league cardinal...fuck him and anyone else who buys this shit.

Hard to raise too big a stink over whether or not someone cheated when the other team played HORRIBLY all by themselve.

Perhaps it was the jitters of opening at Fenway. Their last meet-up didn't end well, either. I'll be interested to see how Wacha plays tonight. He's been phenomenal in the playoffs, but the pressure is going to be on him to stop Boston and keep the Cards from going 0-2....he's still a rookie and this is going to be the biggest game of his career. Should be interesting.

bad throws, bad communication, just really, really sloppy play I didn't expect.

the rosin will be back in his glove. Harold Reynolds had it right saying this is the norm for the game these days. There is no player asking the Ump to check the baseball or players requesting baseballs be removed from play. What once was common in baseball is no more.

It's about control, not about trying to get extra movement on the ball. He could grab the bag, but I see nothing nefarious if this was the case. Maybe MLB will have a problem with this, but if I'm a hitter, I certainly want the pitcher in control of his pitches. Some of us remember what can happen to players who get hit by out-of control pitches...I'm thinking about Tony Conigliaro here.
