MLB - "No more dressing rookies up as women"

[Angel Oracle]

It's always the actions of a select few that ruin it for the rest.

Idiots

[Oz27]

Okay, seriously, how is baseball in any way worse for this change?

[ELEVEN]

This game went all to Hell the moment teams stopped travelling with their Lucky Midgets.

[ELEVEN]

And don't tell me Eckstein didn't have a tangible effect!

How is it worse without changing it?  I'm guessing this helps with clubhouse chemistry.  Have you guys that are so against this ever been in a locker room?

Come on, the "have you ever been in a locker room" argument is extremely bad.

[ELEVEN]

The have you ever been forcibly jerked off in a locker room argument is worse.

Making rookies dress like girls is almost as funny as not immediately congratulating a teammate after he hits his first home run in a month.

Why?  These guys are jocks, that happen to play on tv and make a lot of money.  Jocks do stupid shit to each other like this.

Why would they make him dress like that? I just don't see the purpose. 

I think you need to ask tdawg. You don't see him getting upset about that pic.

Speaking of tdawg, has anyone seen any of his postings since this pic was posted?  He must be busy.

I'm sure some of them don't enjoy it.  I'm sure those that do can find another outlet.  It's ridiculously childish and sets a terrible example.

Um ok. 

[Adam]

Making rookies dress like women isn't close to as funny as putting gum on someone's hat though. 

[Stradling]

Or lighting their shoe laces on fire

Dunno, I was on e-trade buying KY Lube stock since the pic was posted.

And I think that does it. Baseball players have exactly 4 jokes. 

[Stradling]

I like how Jason Werth hazed Chase Utley.  

[ScottT]

Some of you are pathetic assholes. 

[Stradling]

I agree

[mtangelsfan]

The only thing we will miss out on is funny pictures of rookies dressed like chicks.

The players will find other ways to "initiate" the rookies.

Sure. People are idiots and idiots do stupid things. That's why we have rules and laws in society.

Put it this way, the idea that this is needed for clubhouse chemistry is absurd.

You lost me at playing football alone. 

I wasn't saying football alone but was saying running. It's easier to find just a football and play catch than to get two gloves a baseball or find a baseball diamond than just a random park with grass to play football.

As is the thought it hurts clubhouse chemistry.

I've never seen anyone say it does. That doesn't mean it should be sanctioned in a workplace.

It's threads like this that remind me why I never step foot in the political forum here, and why I got the hell out of Orange County.
