More on Dirtgate
"Kenny Rogers' pitching hand during Game 3 of the ALCS (left) and in the first inning of Sunday's Game 2 of the World Series. The lefty appears to have a similar-looking brown substance on his hand in both instances."Come on, can't we all agree that this is a little coincidental? Look at that stuff, it's too glossy to be dirt.

I don't believe in coincidences, but then again, I don't believe pine tar could give Kenny Rogers the velocity and control he's had this postseason, either. And I didn't hear any Yankees or A's talking about "weird movement" on his pitches.
Just because nobody has said anything already is not dispositive of Rogers possibly cheating.
Rogers is a social retard, a big Texas moron who apparently cheats at baseball before smacking around skinny little cameramen.
Todd Jones on pine tar and other tricks of the trade in an article he wrote for The Sporting News over a year ago!

This is a fantastic article about baseball's most famous cheaters:

Pay extra attention to the Albert Belle story (with a hilarious cameo by Jason Grimsely) and Whitey Ford (with a classic Yogi moment).
I didn't say it was dispositive, but it's circumstantial evidence in his favor.
In case you've forgotten what dispositive means:

Did I need the dictionary.com lesson? I don't get it.
Interesting article here:

That's a lovely theory. The Cards knew he was cheating, but they were doing the same thing, so they couldn't make a fuss.
Dodort, is this the link you were referring to?

I believe the phrase "shaving cream or suntan lotion" was used over 17,000 times in that story, and every time appropriately.
No, I wasn't being an ass Dodort. I actually copied and pasted your link into a browser and it didn't work. So I posted the article I thought you were talking about. I'll ask Anthony to rip down the prior post.
Sorry about that, it worked when I cut and pasted it. I couldn't figure out what was up.
Let's quit all the downloading.
