Anybody else think AJ Pierzynski is a cheater and should be fined and/or suspended for that incident last Sunday? And how about Doug Eddings? This guy should face discipline. This was the same umpire who allowed AJ to run to first on a third strike that never hit the ground. This had better not cost the Twins a division title.

It won't cause the Twins to lose anything... they're currently doing just fine on their own without any help from AJ in that regard. Take it easy on using Circle's "the ref/ump/judge screwed us" arguments in the Cafe, please.

No, he shouldn't be fined or suspended for what happened. He's a ticky-tack idiot who got away with one, but there's nothing fine or suspension worthy in what he did. He made a bonehead base running mistake and tried a lame stunt to get out of it, and it worked.

you got me there. It's true, I just think AJ is playing the game the wrong way. If a hockey player tried that, they would be in the box for 2:00 for a dive.

The question is would this be brought up if he was still in a Twins uniform

Would Gardenhire put up with it is the question? Ozzie Guillen doesn't care but he's dumb anyway.

A win's a win's a win. Can't ague with the W that they got out of it.

Besides, it is kinda like the whole Bartman deal (and AJ's other incident with the dropped ball). Get the next batter out and it doesn't matter.
