Another Bad Cubs Day

Ok, it's one thing to lose. It's another thing when your catcher punches out the opposing catcher after a play at the plate.

If I were Ozzie, I'd still be wondering why Pierzynski got thrown out of the game.

That's what I meant. Slapping the plate was a bit out of line, but not even close to deserving an ejection.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the law getting involved. Ed Farmer promised he'd take criminal action against Al Cowens. Nothing came of that.

For those of you who don't know the story, Ed Farmer hit Al Cowens with a pitch May 8, 1979. Cowens jaw was broken. The next year Cowens hit a ball to shortstop and went directly after Farmer. Cowens got a seven game suspension. Farmer never filed charges. That was also a White Sox home game.

"I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the law getting involved."

Yeah, not exactly holding my breath on that one...
