It sounds as if MLB didn't want to go through a steel cage death match with the players union and this was the quickest way out.

And it probably was a sensible route because if not they would have been stonewalled and it would have dragged into this season where it would have been a continuing story overshadowing the play on the field. |

Like when your parents tell you to apologize to someone as a kid... Reminds me of how I met my best friend back in elementary school... this is embarrassing... but in 1st or 2nd grade, I pissed my pants in school. Long story short this kid Dan made fun of me for it and the teacher heard him and made him write me an apology paper.. and said something silly like "who says that it's piss, maybe he spilt water on himself" Anyways, I told this kid "I don't know what's wrong with that teacher, but obviously I pissed my pants and deserve to be made fun of" or something like that... and that made us best friends up until high school. He stopped being friends with me because I was on drugs.. and then we later got in touch after high school and shortly after we started talking again, he OD'd and died... RIP Dan  He was one of the best friends I ever had... we'd constantly get in fist fights and then a few minutes later everything be cool.. |

You're a good man Sierchio. Just like your friend. Guys who can go at it and then let it go like nothing ever happened are solid. Holding grudges is destructive behavior. Condolences on the loss of your friend.

He passed away quite a few years ago... a few days before Hurricane Sandy hit. I was just reminiscing.. Still sad that he passed. He left behind a son who was less than a year old.

RIP Dan He was one of the best friends I ever had... we'd constantly get in fist fights and then a few minutes later everything be cool.. I was very toilet shy as a child. I think I might have been in my later years of high school before I would use the rest room in school. I could hold it like I had a rhino bladder. I would suppose it was because we had outhouses at home until I was almost ten years old. Unfamiliar territory. There was usually a rather noisy environment in the bathrooms too as I passed by. I don’t know if it was yelling and fighting, or sticking kids heads in the toilet or what, maybe just the unusual acoustics, but I avoided those places like they were torture chambers. I had to leave school one day with horrible abdominal pain, which turned out to be a simple need to dedicate that I could not perform “there”, even though I did actually make an attempt, since all the other kids were in class. I never let it fly I’m my britches though...#1 or #2. This is the second straight thread I’ve visited where urination has been a topic. I can’t wait for thread #3... Now that I think of it, I went into a rest room just recently and there was a busy scene. One fellow was standing back about a foot and a half from his urinal and letting fly with stream that was as big around as my entire...ahem (okay, slight exaggeration)...I presumed he must be proud of his weaponry. I just dodged into an empty stall and took care of things... |

My best friend died in a freak car accident in 1998, leaving behind two daughters- a toddler and an infant. He was only 35 years old and a wonderful person. Such a positive, upbeat guy. Always saw the good in everyone. Great sense of humor. Huge LSU, Saints, and Yankee fan. Loved food, music, and movies. Taught me how to appreciate and play golf. I miss him everyday. |

And it’s also apparent that some of them are in full moult when they use the facilities. Damn, if your tearing that hair out by the roots to find Johnny, maybe you should think about either a trim or starting to sit to pee. As the pee posts continue to flow... |
