After Tuesday night’s dugout clearing fight between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees, the league handed down suspensions to the 2 central culprits – Jorge Posada and Jesse Carlson. For their part in Tuesday night’s brawl, Posada and Carlson each got four-game suspensions. Their suspensions had been lessened to three games since neither Posada nor Carlson fought the penalty.
If someone might make clear to me how the MLB came up with 4 games for both of them, I would really appreciate it.
When it comes to the number of games a competitor gets for his misdealings, it is anybody’s guess. It seems to me there are no firm guidelines for suspensions. That’s a giant problem in my eyes.
Let’s take a look at two non-drug linked suspensions that have been...

You have to love what’s happening in Major League Baseball this year. Many were expecting a lackluster season in the face of more steroids allegations and other info that marred the integrity of the sport, but things are really looking like they did decades ago. Teams that we never thought had a shot at going anywhere somehow look good.
Nearly every divisional race, even though there’s plenty of season left, is surprisingly close. In fact, all but one division has a situation where the second place team is two games or less behind the leader.
Don’t be mistaken though, these aren’t just head to head divisional battles. There are also a handful of teams in the middle of their divisions that look like they have a shot, and even a few at the bottom somehow.

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be a NASCAR team owner or team leader? This is what the Fantasy NASCAR League permits you to experience. Several other sports offer fantasy leagues, and in fact the Fantasy NASCAR League was based on the original fantasy league, the Soccer Fantasy League, but for lovers of car racing, it is the top one.
If you do not know how the Fantasy NASCAR League works, it is pretty simple to explain. People who register in the league become team owners, and they have to pick a racing team from the selection of real human drivers on the NASCAR circuit. These drivers then win points for the team, exactly as they do in real life.
This means that when one of your team members is taking part in a real race, say at Pocono, you can cheer him on in the anticipation...

Dating advice is abundant on the Internet, in magazines, books, newspapers and on TV. There was even an eight year old kid who wrote a book filled with sound dating advice. (That kid really is pretty clever and must be pretty popular with the girls, because although fairly basic, all of his dating advice is good sense. |If you read the book, you will be forced to agree that that eight-year-old kid does know what he’s on about and that he keeps it simple. And that is the point really: when it comes to dating, keep things simple.
Leave your past behind you. It’ll only get you bogged down. The first thing any dating-counsellor would advise you is that a fresh start is important for a date to go well. Talking to your date about how your ex mistreated you is definitely not the way forward....

There are a huge number of credit cards on the market and one of the most underestimated is the business credit card. Many people choose not to apply for a business credit card because aside from having a certain target market – business owners or business executives – it seems to be complicated to use. Although a business credit card has more stipulations, it has a lower interest rate compared with other kinds of credit cards and, contrary to common misconception, it can be very useful if used properly.
What is a business credit card? Basically, a business credit card is for business people’s use. Compared to a regular credit card, a business credit card has a high credit limit and low interest rates. Depending on the business credit card you decide on, a business credit...
