know when to fold 'em, part II

Watched some of the Red Sox/Rangers game last night in the bar following 9 holes of golf, following work, and watched the guy who has become my (along with a lot of America's) least favorite pitcher get rocked.

I think Kenny Rogers had a lot of nerve appealing his suspension and that arbitrator who granted the appeal is an idiot. I don't have a lot of respect for the commisioner of baseball (because it really is a case of the inmate running the asylum), but when the guy's right, I have to give him his due and here he was. Kenny Rogers deserved the punishment he was handed, and ought to be shown that his actions come with consequences. When I do something stupid (and I know many of you will find it hard to believe, but yes, I occasionally do), I don't have any 'get out of stupid free' cards up my sleeve. Neither do you. Neither should he. Neither should anybody, for that matter. It's part of how we figure out how to stop doing the same stupid things over and over again. The fact that he struggled in his first outing after getting away with serving only part of his suspension couldn't make me happier. Well no, that's overstating it just a tad. There are lots of things that could and do make me happier, but it did make me happy. What goes around comes around.
