I thought names weren't supposed to

be linked to samples in the first place?

Yeah I guess it wasn't really anonymous huh?

Wow, Donald Fehr got pwned.

I guess he was so he used to sparring with world renowned illiterate fucktard Bud Selig, that when he went up against an actual foe like the US Attorneys he got thrown down on the cold hard ground and repeatedly mauled in the butt against his will, much to the detriment of those he’s supposed to be serving and helping to protect.

The union should’ve taken step right from the very start to make sure this sort of thing wasn’t possible (not linking names to individual samples, destroying the samples and/or list as soon as they were through, etc., etc…), but Fehr was so used to dealing with pushovers who do his bidding and say “Thank you for allowing me to serve you, sir” when they’re through that he didn’t protect himself or his people.

It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from the Wire.

“How you expect to run with the wolves at night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?”
-Omar.

The moral of the story: You spend enough time dealing with Budford Selig and you forget that there are actually some smart people out there, capable of, like, critical thinking and problem solving and stuff.

Speaking of Omar Quotes...

Think Fehr threw this one at A-Rod and the other players on the “list”…

Why are you always up so early?

When do you sleep, man?

...at the time, I wasn’t being truthful with myself. How could I be truthful with Katie Couric or CBS?

The sleep thing?

It’s a combo.

1) I work two part time jobs. One is a serving job, which is mostly at nights. The other is a property management-type gig for the company my parents are part-owners of. Some times I work all day, then at night, then all day again the next day- then I’ll go two or three or even four days without working at all, so my sleep schedule is constantly getting f’d right in the a.
2) Sometimes when I can’t get to sleep I wander over to the computer for a minute to try to get my mind of not being able to sleep, and since LSB is my homepage, I tend to stop in and drop some comments on y’all’s collective dome.
3) I have two dogs (one puppy) and when they wake me up needing to go outside sometimes I hop on the computer waiting for them to finish up peeing and/or pooping and/or barking at shadows and drop some baseball knowledge and/or Eastwood hate on you.

I suppose all of those things do combine to give me a posting time-card that does kind of make me look like a vampire of some sort.

I once worked with a guy

who had a “bad’ sample. But he knew a guy in shipping, so said samples had an "accident” ruling the whole batch null and void. A forklift pops one seal, and the process is contaminated.

Lucky man…
