The very idea that he was pitching in the majors, instead of 
sitting on the bench in some AA club somewhere for the rest of 
the season makes me think a hell of a lot less of their 
organization.

Ideally they'd fine him his entire salary for the year and press 
assault charges against him and publish a series of mug shot 
cards for the kids to learn the correct lesson from.
