Pirates and Expos

Beaver County columnist John Mehno debunks the notion that no one in Montreal cares for baseball.

He also has some words for Kip Wells for his role in the hazing of rookies. Hazing is a hideous, barbaric, undemocratic and profoundly un-American practice that brings out the worst in people. I'd be curious to learn if every front office around the league permits, colludes, approves, winks, or turns the other way at the hazing of rookies. It's bad enough among teenagers. When grown men do it, it's just sad all around.

Thanks to Walt for the link.

...8pm ok that was a little over the top. Hazing is stupid. Making another person wear a chicken suit is stupid and it undermines the spirit of equality that makes America a great and free nation, but it's not torture. I imagine stuff like this is a distraction but who am I to say the players can live without it.
