LaRusso knew it was pine tar when a ball ended up in the Cards dugout in the middle of the first inning. You could see him and others inspecting it. My new HDTV could see it was tar as clear as a bell. It was not dirt. It was shiny and sticky looking. I was yelling at the TV for LaRusso to run on the field and catch the dirtbag Rogers red or brown handed.

So, I guess the umpires were paid off then? The plate umpire stated he looked at Roger's hand, and it was Dirt, he also said the balls had nothing on them.

Also, the Cards didn't do any better after the first inning. IT was simple what was up, LaRussa knows Roger's has a hair trigger temper, and that if you can get him upset and off his game you can rock him. So the Cards tried to rattle Rogers and piss him off in the first inning. It didn't work. The whole thing was gamesmanship on both sides. Hell, Rogers may have intentionally dirtied up his own hand to get inside the Cards heads and make them think he was doctoring the ball.

Yep, I have pointed that out several times and they ignore that point. They just keep insisting he cheated because they know he did.
