I expected him to do exactly what he did - try to prevent the run from scoring. He got hurt and it sucked, but that happens.

My Dad PLAYED in MLB for the Giants, and I thought the bellyaching and crybabying that ensued (some from Posey himself) was dead wrong.

To take that one isolated incident, and center a new rule around it was a catastrophic mistake. We see this daily within our local/state/*&^&%#@^ gubbmints - and the results are predictable.

Then why did you call him a sissy?
I don't agree with the new "leave a lane" rule, but I also don't think a catcher (or any player) has the right to block the plate w/o the ball.
I grew up in NYC area when Giants were still there. I still root for them.
