I Guess In The Minor Leagues, The Punishments Are Minor Too

by user Lessformore

Remember crazy minor league manager guy? Of course you do. Turns out he got suspended today for three games for his tempter tantrum. Seems reasonable, right? Well, Lou Piniella also got suspended today for his little tirade and he got four games. What I want know is, how did the crazy guy get suspended for less time than Lou Piniella? I guess kicking dirt on an ump is worth more than crawling around on the infield grass, pretending the rosin bag is grenade, throwing bases, and covering up home. Does this seem a little messed up to anyone else?

Well...I think Piniella's suspension was the result of "Contact" and as such baseball has presidence...i don't believe, in all of wellman's actions he ever touched the ump and as such, didn't merit the 4th game...

Nevermind the fact that it was a 15 minute tirade featuring thrown bases...which I'm suprised didn't give him more games...

Are Minor league baseball and MLB governed by different bodies? That may explain it...different standards, different rules...

History has a lot to do with it too. Not like Pinella's ever been tossed before, right?

I can't wait to see this minor leaguer in the majors. Baseball is f**king boring here in Chicago if it isn't for the fighting and tyrades.

It seems to me that LIFE is boring in Chicago without the fighting and tyrades. That's what you get for living in the "Capital of the Midwest"...

I said BASEBALL. Life is grand here. Every ethnicity imagineable, awesome food, in just ONE night one can see an up and coming band, a techno show, get pierced, close out a bar at 4 a.m. and wake up to do it all again because it just turned Friday. Our Art Institue is world class, we get the best weed imported from Canada, girls are FINE w/out being snobby, etc... Only probs here is segregational housing, terrible public transit, "mild" violent crime and political corruption, i.e. LIFE IN THE BIG CITY.

Cheers!

And i'm not jealous of AZ weather. Seasons = Inspiration.

We have seasons Spring, Summer, and Spring II...

Phoenix is basically 1/3 former Chicagoans who overrun this city with Hot Dog joints, mustard stained bears jerseys and Cubs bumper stickers on their Reliant K...

You can't fool me, I've been to Chicago PLENTY of times (will be there again in 4 weeks). Seasons schmeasons, that just means it sucks in 4 different ways throughout the year... Chicago is the Rectum of the Great Lakes. OK, just barely better than Erie and OK, ok... I'll give you Detroit.

I haven't touched it in 3.5 months der, boyee. But the stank is the stank, and I know very well it serves folks the swerve when it's closing time. Plus, doesn't it help out peeps like Rickie Williams with SAD?

Don't tell Tyrone! He will get on you like sandpaper panties (panty reference #6) because Weed is illegal and has KILLED at least one person already (one time a guy had a bail of marijuana fall on him and it crushed him to death, true story) He will stop it before it kills again!

And the rectum of the Great Lakes is Milwaukee. If you've visited Chicago, then you know we gots a giant beachfront filled with frollicking females... I know a dozen techie biz boys living in Phoenix that can't wait to come up here every chance they get because the hot dogs are bullshit in AZ, the Cardinals blow and the desert breeds freaks like those dudes in "The Hills Have Eyes"

If you were in space, Chicago is the rectum Milwaukee is an ingrown hair on the sphincter, but it's definitely all connected.

Phoenix is home to every fast food chain in the world because whoever moves here brings it with them, but then instead have Mexicans cook it. I have this problem with cheesesteaks (I am from the Philly burbs)

You will be HARD pressed to find a higher ratio of Babes/Everything Else than in Scottsdale, Arizona... I've been all over North America, I kid you not.
