SHUT UP PLEASE!

Much like I will tell Jon Heyman in the Twitter world to please stop tweeting because he's an apologist for bad behavior...

Please stop tweeting

I must tell Big Papi to shut the F up. He's so annoying as well.

This is the latest about dummy Papi, coming to you from NJ.com:

"...Ortiz said MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred’s penalty — seen by most as a slap on the wrist — was actually too harsh.“The punishment was not fair," he said on Fox Sports while talking with Kevin Burkhardt and retired Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez on Friday.

“Everybody’s doing it in the league right now,” he said. “You’re going to blame the video guy, you’re going to suspend him for two years just because he’s watching what the catchers are giving — fastball, slider, breaking ball, changeup – and telling the player so the player can use it on the field,”
Ortiz said.

“That’s what everybody’s doing. I don’t call that cheating. “That’s what everybody’s doing. I don’t call that cheating. I think it was more of an excuse more than anything else. That’s how I feel about it.”

Look, I think the dude needs to shut up. This is a guy that was coddled by Bud Selig even though he was a known steroid user.

He was embraced and loved because he was a personality and his monster home runs was good for the MLB because it made them a ton of money because fans would come out to see him hit dingers. We all know why he was there.  So if anything, he should be pretty mindful about that and be quiet.

This entire cheating scandal is a mess, and the longer MLB waits to start the season, the more reason why it's good for the league, because they are banking for everyone to forget, as one of my favorite BYB readers stated in her tweet:

And MLB is secretly happy about the lockdown because they're hoping everyone will have forgotten by the time we get back. Counting on the fans and media to not let that happen.

It's true.  But here's the thing... Manfred is a piece of garbage, his relationship with Jim Crane destroyed any true investigation into wrongdoing with the Astros, and he knows that if the league starts hammering popular teams like the Astros and Red Sox, fans go away.  And so, logically, he and his cronies did the whole smoke and mirrors trick and made it seem like they cared.

They banned Cora for a season that isn't happening, which, still makes ZERO SENSE, and are hoping that they can move on from this in 2021 like everything is wonderful.

I'm sick of it. I'm sick of all of it.
