straight to the people.

Framber, the nonsense last night.

And again, I just, I'm yet to find anybody, whether it's people I know in the world of baseball,

whether it's just people I talk to who love baseball, no one thinks that that wasn't intentional.

There's Andy Dirkson, and there's the rest of the free world.

The question just becomes, look, look at the damage it's going to do.

Buster only said it.

He's facing a seven-game suspension.

Then you factor in Glaber Torres going to the IL with an oblique, which is a nightmare.

The only thing worse would have truly have been probably a hamlet bone injury.

You get hit by a pitch in the hand, you blow out the hamlet bone.

Even when you recover or a thumb, the power's not there.

Look, the oblique is so tricky in that if you don't give it even extra time,

you can retweak it and you can be gone for months. So this is a time for this

baseball team where they can't incur any more injuries. You've just lost arguably the most

professional hitter you have from the right side. You've just lost a starter who's probably

not making his next turn through the rotation.

You don't have your pen organized the way you want.

You have injuries everywhere.

And by the way, you're on the verge of being swept by the Boston Red Sox, which is a nightmare

considering they have primarily been one of the three or four worst teams in baseball.

I'm not going to freak out, but I'm not happy either.
