Arguably one of my biggest regrets in my life was not paying 25 dollars and seeing him face to face at a book signing here in Scottsdale around 10 years ago.

Let's just say before he became flat broke, started writing crazy books and got cancer... he was one grade A asshole. God bless him anyway.

Odubel benched the next 2 games. Mackanin said he's not benched but rather out because Altherr is back.

LOL... he's benched... nothing to do with Altherr, unless they really wanted to go with an OF of Altherr, Williams, and Perkins the next two nights... nevermind, I always forget about Kendrick
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

:-D

That was probably a better use. I used to wait for them to go into action after a home run. I would say they worked about 30% of the time.

I thought Herrera was benched for not running on the dropped strike three. I've got no problem with that. Cholly benched Rollins a few times for not running out ground balls

And being late. It just annoys me when Mackanin does it because I don't like him. I like Manuel.

I'm firmly Team Odubel here but if Rupp is flipping his bat there I do not know what constitutes appropriate behavior after a home run
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America
