BUSTER POSEY GOT WRECKED
Last night, San Francisco’s star catcher, Buster Posey was bowled-over by Scott Cousins of the Marlins for the winning run. And let me tell you, it was prett-y, prett-y, prett-y gnarly (I hope some of you watch Curb Your Enthusiasm). Video here.
He pretty much shattered his ankle and will be out for a while.
The problem with this is that the MLB might have to start talking about “making the game safer.” Even today on ESPN, the poll was whether or not the Majors should keep home plate collisions in the game, or change the rules, similar to the NFL.
The only way I’ll be okay with the MLB becoming more like the NFL is if baseball becomes a full contact sport. Runner trying to steal second? Give him an elbow to the jaw. Shortstop blocking the base path trying to catch an infield fly? Drop kick him on the way to third.
If you couldn’t tell, I’m for leaving the rules unchanged.
Note: The video that auto-plays after the Posey clip is the biggest demonstration of douchebaggery I have EVER seen.
Turning three and a half hours of boring into two and a half minutes of laffs.
