He was coming off PED's so there was a high chance of injury.

Re: 2012 MLB season
One of the greatest things about living in Kansas is watching the annual Royals fans' Spring Psychotic Breakdown.
Every March, the Royals are assumed to have the best farm system ever, and every March, each local sports talk guy tries to one-up all the others.
It goes something like this:
Guy 1: Well, I think, if the young talent comes together, the team has a good chance at making .500 this year.
Guy 2: No way! The young guys will come together, and they have an outside shot at the playoffs!
Guy 1: Outside shot? Bullshit! With a little pitching, they win the division, and with a little luck, the win the pennant!
Guy 3: YOU BOF STOOPID! EVEWY WOYALL IN HALL OW FAME AND WOYALLS WIN WOOD SEWIES!!
Strangely enough, nobody ever contradicts Guy 3. For some reason, his word becomes law.
This, of course, makes it much more interesting when a certain baseball club from Kansas City starts the season by tripping over their collective dicks, as the Royals do every year.
Now, the above "guy 1 guy2" thing was a dramatization. The following sentence is fact.
Yesterday on my lunch break, while listening to a sportstalk radio station out of KC, I heard two radio guys discuss the viability of major league baseball FORCING David Glass to sell the team to somebody who, if I may paraphrase, might actually give a shit. The Royals, at the time of the broadcast, were 3 and 6.
Most of the year's suicidals will probably do the job before Memorial Day.

Re: 2012 MLB season
If there was any doubt that pitcher wins are one of the most overrated player stats in baseball, tonight should have cleared that up. Cain and Lee pitched a combined 19 scoreless innings and both came out of the night with no-decisions.

Re: 2012 MLB season
Is it wrong to have two favorite teams?....I have been a big braves fan but I am really liking the rays. They are in Diff leagues.

Damn, even as a Mets fan I've always had the utmost respect for Mariano. It's a shame to have it end this way.
