First Pitcher Suspended

Juan Rincon, the great setup man for the Twins.

This suspension, higher profile than the others and being the first pitcher, will probably force the Player's Union to accept something very close to Selig's proposal.

The first non-worthless player.

I have to agree with ME. I figure there will be more of them soon enough...

I was sort of hoping for this. The policy in place is lame, but it's enough for the poop to begin making regular contact with various rotating blades, which will hopefully lead to something more forceful.

This is quite possibly the worst comment you have ever made.

Positively awful. Rod Roddy, what do you think?

True, but the concept of "shit hitting the fan" is about the most gruesomely overused phrase in American English, so at least I tried to change it up a little.

I'd have gone with "make the doo doo strike the whirling blades," or scrap the whole phrase altogether, but that's just me.

That was the first thing I thought of when I read Duff's original post.

I don't think it's that bad. It wasn't meant to be all that funny. I could've done better than "various rotating blades," probably.
