“Buster Posey must be allowed to wear an armored exoskeleton at all times”

posey catching

Drew Silva

“The Dugout” has moved around a lot over the years, but it is still my favorite place for faux-chat-room-style-humor. Really, it stands head and shoulders above its competitors in this regard.

Today’s entry is a great example of what makes it so ... um, great: Bud Selig and Jeff Berry saying in The Dugout what everyone else is afraid to say in public: that the reason we’re all so worked up over catcher-collision rules now is because one of the handsome, white marketable catchers who plays for a marquee team got hurt and not, like, Ronny Paulino.

To steal a line from the back of a late 80s paperback book lying on my desk, we laugh in self-defense.
