All these players opting out of the All-Star game...could it be they're actually boycotting it? |
|
When those assholes in AZ voted in SB-whatever number, that virulently anti-constitutional law, lots of players were very upset...is this their way of showing it?

1. The players union said not to boycot it... |
|
because the worst of the provisions have been knocked down.

2. It got me thinking...names like sabathia... |
|
And so many pitchers who decided to pitch Sunday...might be their way of boycotting without saying they're boycotting.

3. Is that why players such as |
|
Montero, Pineda, Romero, Cano, Sandoval, and Beltre are all going to be there?

6. C.C. Sabathia is African American, not Latino |
|
he's been active in MLB's attempts to recruit more AA players into the game.

8. Well, he hasn't changed ethnicity since he was on the Indians |
|
or Brewers. :-)
In a way it's a shame he didn't stick with the Brewers. He's one of the best-hitting pitchers in the game (just under .250 lifetime!), perfectly suited to the NL.

10. Since when do pitchers decide which games to play? |
|
Isn't that the decision of the manager? Could it be that they were scheduled Sunday by their managers in order for them to be excused from pitching in a pointless game?
