When the camera panned the faces of the fans, I thought they were going to cry when Rocker struck out their boy & pitched a scoreless 8th. The only way it could've been better would've been if it had been the 9th.

(Am I getting a little strident?):-)

Spicy: It was in Rocker's SUV, and that's a good point, since the only thing that Rocker said that would otherwise merit an apology was his comment that Asian women can't drive, and that's mitigated by the fact that it was inspired by a woman (who Rocker mistook for an Asian woman) who had just cut him off.

Further, the Braves demoted Rocker for his poor pitching. I saw him pitch 2 days before he was sent down, and it was justified.

What ticks me off is Selig suspending him, requiring him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation(!), and so many people falling into line condemning him, afraid rhat their peers will like them less if they don't hate what they're supposed to hate.

Hey, Rocker is obviously a nutjob even without the interview. He was flipping off and yelling obsenities at the fans months before the interview hit the streets. He even protended to throw a ball to some kids in the stand and then promptly threw the ball back in the dugout like a jackass.

In addition, in the tunnels he met the SI reporter who did the interview. He threatened the reporter with violence. This guy is a couple jets short of a landgrab here. I for one would be glad to see him kicked out of baseball for being an idiot. Maybe he can play in the Klan Leagues.

By the way, for you NYers. I'll be back in NY in the winter (I'm stuck in Virginia currently) and will be finishing up college at Hofstra out on the Island. I went to SUNY Nassau last year.
