wtf is is with kruk advocating cheating? "if you're going to cork your bat or use pine tar, just hide it better".

i'll find the link later, just heardd it on and i was stunned..

John kruk is the worst thing to happen to sports broadcasting/reporting in history.

I usually switch the channel or mute BBTN whenever he opens his big fat hole

I don't see how that advocates cheating. He's just saying that if you are going to cheat, don't get caught.

let me know when your meds kick in and we can discuss.

LOL....this is baseball. Cheating has always been a part of the game. Kruk is not advocating cheating. He just knows that it's part of the game.

Sad, but true.

Cheating is a part of the game. This is a fact.

There is a difference between saying cheating is a part of the game, and saying that other players cheat so you should also cheat. It is a mile away from saying that cheating is OK.

Kruk has probably bother heard it and said it a million times, that cheating is bad and shouldn't be done. So instead of the same old tired speech, he said that if you do it, don't get caught. By actually getting caught, you make baseball as a whole look bad, especially if you are a big name player and/or in the post-season.

Look at how happy and serene it was back in the day when Mac and Sosa were breaking HR records. Baseball's popularity was through the roof. Sure, some people may have suspected something was going on, but as long as it wasn't brought to light, people were happy. Same case here.

Too bad ESPN sucks so badly these days. The founder (Stuart Evey) is a friend of our family, where I grew up. (Spokane, Washington).

I believe he also runs the company who made Myst / Riven.

I have a ball cap autographed by Stu. 🙂
