OK, I'm just going to ignore that Frank Robinson article until the morning...then Bowden gets an earful...

No respect for Mr. Robinson has me pi$$ed on a good night…

Manny...inexcusable. They haven't moved the bases in over 100 years...sometimes they drag a foot and miss it and he just flat out went over it...

…and knew somebody would see it.

Once again missing no opportunity to dun Dunn.
