Kenny Rogers

[P-funk]

Clump of Dirt OR Clump of Pine Tar?

 

[MCx2]

You mean Kenny Rogers?

 

[tucker01]

bit of both

and you mean rogers.

 

[MCx2]

Definitely pine tar.

 

[MyK]

what does pine tar do?

make you throw faster???

 

[tucker01]

adds some resistance to the ball so there is more movement on it.

 

[MyK]

ah, I see, who the fuck is kevin brown????

they are calling it "smudgegate" on cnn!

 

[tucker01]

It is actually Kenny Rogers and he was the starting pitcher for Detroit last night.

It is a fucking joke, he had some shit on his hand the first inning, the ump asked him to clean it he did and continued to throw 2 hit ball the next 7 innings.

 

[MyK]

I know who rogers is, I watched part of the game, I want to now who kevin brown is?

 

[P-funk]

You mean Kenny Rogers?

oh yea, oops. don't know why i put kevin brown down?

IAB, can you fix the title when you get a chance?

kevin brown is another pitcher in the MLB. He pitched for the texas rangers for several years, don't know if he is still there? I believe he ran into some shoulder problems.

it gives you grip on the ball so you can control it better. it is especially important on cold days when the ball is hard to hold onto.

Fixed!

I think that was poop on his hand...no doubt it's poop residue from the dirty sanchez he gave Pudge Rodriguez right before the game.

 

[P-funk]

If that is so, then he has pooped on his hand three straight games!

It is funny because he lied in his post game interview when asked about it he said:

"It was some dirt, they asked me to take it off." Then, the guy asked if anyone told him to wash his hands and he said "No, I saw it and went and washed it off myself. The umps didn't talk to me."

 

[tucker01]

So did Tony Larussa not throw a big fit about this cause he knows it is common practice in MLB and probably his own pitchers do the same thing?

 

[ZECH]

He had it on his hat supposedly. On the radio, they said he washed his hands but kept going to his head(hat) alot. And most managers will agree that it is widespread use(pine tar) and everyone knows it. But during the world series, I don't care if Tony is good friends with Jim, he needed to raise cain! If nothing else that would have shook Kenny up and broke his rhythm.

 

[tucker01]

But if he raises a stink he knows that Jim can do the same to his pitchers who are more then likely using it.

 

[Double D]

Well Ian, Rogers was obvious! He shouldve been thrown out of the game and if that wouldve happened it wouldve been the series! He undoubtedly washed it off and put some under his bill or somewhere else. Cant really call him a cheater whenever most of the guys do it. But what a schumuck for making it so obvious! Besdies who likes this moron anyways? He even sank as low as pushing a camera man down last year or maybe the year before I cant recall.

 

[tucker01]

Oh I agree he is the king of douchebags.

But what can you do. MLB doesn't care about cheating. In there world any publicity is good publicity.

 

[Double D]

All MLB cares about is steriods and thats it. Everything else is fine. I am sure most pitchers doctor their ball, but whenever its game 2 of the fuckin world series and everyone and their damn grandmas knows it, something has to be done. The biggest stage is baseball and baseball just took a black eye from it. Morons!!

 

[tucker01]

The only reason they care about steroids is cause the government is all over there ass.

 

[Double D]

This is true as well! But none the less it is the only part of cheating they give a shit about. I mean shit did Sammy Sosa even get suspended for a corked bat?

 

[Triple Threat]

did Sammy Sosa even get suspended for a corked bat?

Yes, but it wasn't very long. Not sure, but 8 or so games??? Should have been much longer.

 

[SpeedyReedy5]

cheating is cheating and if they complain about steroids as being damaging to the integrity of the game this does as well

 

[Double D]

^^ Agreed ^^

My opinion this is much worse. Hell atleast the steroids are behind the scenes. That damn pine tar was all over his hand!

 

[the nut]

Maybe it was that Test Gel???
