those Red Sox

Here’s today’s (yesterday’s, but who’s looking at the clock?) Boston Globe article on the latest Boston/Tampa Bay brawl. I was just reading along thinking my usual “who cares” kind of thoughts until I read about David Ortiz lecturing about respect and ethics on the field. David Ortiz??? Excuse me, but didn’t he throw a bat at an ump last year? Yes, he did and he got suspended, but not much.
You know, nobody missed hockey, really, and I kind of wish that Major League Baseball would go on strike for about a decade or so too. There’s plenty of softball in the park and it looks pretty good to me.
