Look at the video of him in the sixth and seventh innings. The camera crew were getting shots of the back of his hat. It looks like the same stuff.

Tim McCarver observed the Rogers took his glove into the clubhouse after the game and was shaking hands with his glove on. Who shakes hands with his glove on?

Listen to the audio clips. Why did Rogers' story keep changing? First he denied that the umpire talked to him about it. He said that he saw the "clump of dirt" himself and cleaned it off. Then later he says that the umpire told him to clean it off. Which is it?

I can't figure out why La Russa didn't ask for an inspection other than that the other manager is Jim Leyland. La Russa knew what was happening and didn't do anything about it. I think that if the other manager had been anybody else, if it had been Dusty Baker, for example, La Russa would have demanded an inspection in a flash.

Cordially,

I am not a big La Russa fan. He is far to passive as a manager, IMHO. This is just one more example of that.

I know that every time I've managed a team in the World Series, I have been much more on the ball... _{(Oh, wait a minute...)}

Rolling with laughter!!! You nailed it. Heck, it's like he's trying to keep alive the idea that he was doctoring the ball!

We had a pitcher in High School who would take his warm-ups with an emory board stuck in his belt. Oldest trick in the book. But it still worked.

I swear it's like everybody was born yesterday.
