    The Cardinals are going to take their share of being punished in this one, as instigators and some out of line words and slurs directed at Dusty and Scott.

    Larussa fights his battles in the press. The Reds have class and will take it to the commissioner.

    Big shocker here, Carpenter didn't use a slur.

    http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs...T04/308110050/

    Carpenter didn’t tell the St. Louis writers exactly what he had said to Baker that stirred up the swarm, but the report from the Reds clubhouse was that it was a declarative two-word phrase that is the ultimate American pejorative, known in boardrooms and barnyards and ball diamonds from Boston to Bakersfield.
    Or in other words, what I said earlier in the thread.

    Pretty clear that the Cardinals angry players were all experiencing Roid Rage though. Very obvious. If not for the abuse of steroids by Cards players, this incident probably never happens.

    Why can't you just make normal posts? Why continue to bait?

    lol

    Seems like a bit of a contradiction there, no?

    When are you going to come out of the closet and quit pretending to be a Reds fan?

    I knew there was more to it and that is why Cardinals are trying to spin this on Cueto.

    When your "friend in the media" turns out to be correct. You know, the guy, who is in the media, who knows this information even though the players were told to keep it from the media.

    Airtight reasoning.

    I've seen very few informative posts from you. Most of them are just reverse trolling.

    Yes and he paid the price for his decision by losing money and 50 game suspension. Unlike a former Cardinal player(s).

    In case you guys missed my earlier post.

    He said "**** you" to Baker. Drop the ridiculous racism claims.

    I wouldn't call spending a 50 game suspension which was spent on the DL, paying the price for something.

    He didn't get paid. Duh.

    That's the point of a suspension. To penalize the player monetarily.

    MLB isn't interested in penalizing the team overall, to not having a players services. They're interested in penalizing the player.

    This has been covered over and over and over. Get up to speed.
