Jack Clark was a dangerous hitter in his day.

Jack,

didn't yo mom tell you that if you don't having anything good to say about anyone, you shouldn't say anything (for the record, my mom never told me that) at all?

Jack, who is an announcer with WGNU 920 AM has accused Albert Pujols of taking performance enhancing drugs. He did so, on the basis of Chris Mihlfeld, Clark's former trainer. He also accused P Justin Verlander of Detroit of juicing.

You see, Jack Clark has a new radio show. Seems that Jack could be trying to score ratings and it seems to have worked. There is one, teensy weensy problem: You said it on air and you have no proof. I don't know all that much about the law, but I think SLANDER might come in to play here. As a matter of fact, good 'ole Prince Albert is taking legal action against Clark. Someone has to do the right then, right Albert? Whatever.

Sure. Fine. Jack has his buddy, Chris Mihlfeld to back him up, right?

Wrong-o, Jack! Looks like Mr. Chris is telling everyone that he has not spoken to you in over ten years and he never told you (Jack)* that Albert was shooting up! Jack, you should have settled with Chris first and maybe had him on your program to break the story. It may be true, Jack, but your witness, has bailed on you. More likely, if we believe Chris Mihlfeld, you haven't spoken in over ten years.

OK. Let's think about this one for a bit, shall we? You have known about this for some ten years and you did . . . ? What? You keep it to yourself? Gee, Jack, that isn't very smart. It also isn't very honest. If it is true, I have to question why you bring it up now, why, do so at this time?

You have a new radio program and I figure that you are trying to score ratings. Good luck Jack Clark, there are ramifications when you accuse someone of something. Next time, make sure you have proof, stupid.

I bet he decided to accuse Albert of taking PEDs, just like everyone has been accusing A-Roid of everything, as mentioned in one of my previous posts.

Oh and by the way, I was the first one to call Alex Rodriguez "A-Roid" on air. The day that the story was reported on ESPN, not 13 minutes later did we go live and call him "A-Roid." I have digital proof, and yes, your mom still dresses you funny. I will also quote Amanda Bynes: "You're ugly."

Every time someone calls that dude "A-Roid," you have to be nice to your mom. There, I said it.

Jack Clark was a dangerous hitter in his day, now, he is a former shell fr himself and the pot-shots that he is taking, just gives you the feeling that he never was all that bright after all.







* - It may have been appropriate for me to have left the (Jack) in lower case letters and without the parenthesis' . . .

Donnie Baseball needs to stop sharing . . .

Recently, Don Mattingly, the manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers stated that he almost lost his job as manager of the Dodgers. This goes back to his slamming management earlier this season, which had many believing that it was only a matter of time before he was let go.

Don Mattingly tell us that team president, Sam Kasten, told him that the team might make a move, even though he (Kasten) didn't want to make a move (fire Mattingly) at that time (May 2013). Mattingly stated that he believes that Kasten wasn't threatening him, simply being honest. Don appreciates honesty.

Don, Don, Don! Dude, you sound like a teenager that is over-analyzing your relationship with a girl and you are seeking help from all of your friends by talking about it. I will tell you, as I was in the same position once, well, maybe five or six times before, and you haven't learned to shut up about it. Your "friends" listen only because you may reveal intimate details about your relationship and you bore us with your mulling and whining.

Don Mattingly, Los Angeles Dodgers Team Manager ((USATSI))

Management is not your girlfriend in this case, but like your girlfriend, once you talk about her in public AND she finds out that you are talking about her . . . dude, woman are frightening when they want revenge. Dodgers' management doesn't want to hear about "when they almost fired you" because down the road, the public will, bring it back up and direct their fury at management - it will never go away.

Don, you have your job. You like your job? Take it from me: stop talking about your intimate conversations to EVERYONE. You will pay the price in many ways: People will not trust you because you reveal everything to everyone. Your employer won't trust you either and prospective employers won't give you the time of day.

I hope shes worth it.

BREAKING NEWS Monday, August 5, 2013 3:14 PM EDT

Rodriguez Suspended Through 2014 Season in Doping Inquiry; 12 Others Suspended for 50 Games Alex Rodriguez was among 13 players suspended by Major League Baseball on Monday for violating the league’s antidoping protocols, the biggest single-day drug bust in the sport’s history. Rodriguez, pending an appeal, will be barred for 211 games – through the 2014 season — by far the longest ban levied by the league for a doping violation. The league cited his “use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited, performance-enhancing substances” over many years. Recovering from hip surgery and a quadriceps strain, Rodriguez had planned to make his 2013 return to the Yankees’ lineup Monday night in Chicago against the White Sox. Rodriguez is expected to announce shortly whether he plans to appeal. He would be eligible to play until his appeal is heard by an arbitrator.

Finally!

First off: to all of the so-called experts that we talking about their iron-clad theories of A-Roid having to return for one day and then retiring to preserve his contract; or that he would be suspended for life; or that he couldn't be suspended for never having tested positive under Baseball's drug program: YOU ARE STUPID AND YOUR MOMMA DRESSES YOU FUNNY.

Baseball is a business and it is nothing more. Baseball is doing what it must do in its own best interest, nothing for the fans, but for itself. 

Baseball is a unique business, as evidenced by the congressional exemption that is unique to any professional sport in the United States, the vaunted anti trust exemption, and for its place in America. Baseball relies on individuals (men - in name only, more likely a gender reference) that can either throw a ball with accuracy and velocity, catch said ball with a skill unlike most and the most importantly, the ability to make contact with that same ball - known as a baseball. 

Baseball is always on the search for that talent and being the arbiter of said talent, still makes errors in judgement that many, it seems beyond us, that Baseball (Major League Baseball) can be so blind. That is the way the ball bounces, frankly, and there is no other way to quantify the unique entity that baseball is. For many, it is a game, a game that is played on grass fields, barren plots of land, asphalt or anywhere where one can enjoy the ability to play with or against one another. 

A-Roid is one of those players, blessed with a fine arm, fast wheels and vision that allowed him to play the game better than most. He can still play, but his skills are lacking, as what happens to all of us, eventually. For whatever reason A-Roid used performance enhancing drugs, we have evidence that he did. Further, we have evidence that he purchased them and that he tried to coerce others into siding with him, not with Major League Baseball. Serious stuff, all of it. Major League Baseball, as a money-making entity (business), is now doing what it must when rules have been broken AND when it has been lied to you: suspend the employee. That happens often in the real world! If they wanted to fire him, they could, but they didn't because in the realm of business, A-Roid has been good for Baseball for a long time and while he seems to have alienated himself from Baseball, his employer chooses not to get rid of him, but simply suspends him. 

I am not shocked, nor am I surprised. Having being a shop steward for my union, this is playing out just as it would with my employer. Looking at A-Roid as a employee, this suspension is about right or appropriate. Anyone wasting time about the moral issues of this situation have argument to make, but to whom? Baseball? No one at Major League Corporate is listening. They would, if attendance were affected. If television deals lose value, then they would listen. If internet traffic were to drop or sales of merchandise waned . . . then. 

Looking at everything, Major League Baseball is not listening. I wouldn't. Baseball's pockets are telling me that they are doing something right. Baseball's revenue is at all-time highs, there is labor peace and attendance over the last eleven years has been outstanding, setting records in at least eight of those years. 

A-Roid is lucky that he wasn't charged with a crime, that may still come to pass. For now, we move forward and wait to see if A-Roid appeals his suspension and Baseball's new, Santa Monica-based arbitrator rules. It will be interesting.

A-Roid cheated. He lied. He broke Baseball's rules and laws. Now, he must pay for breaking the rules of the game. We'll see if he gets a chance to play again and frankly, if he can hit the ball, he'll play again. 

Again, to all of those idiots out there: YOUR MOMMA STILL dresses you funny, you stupid idiots.
