He did the stand-up thing...

and I still hate that man.

I see what you're saying

But I have a difficult time considering anything that he does in regard to this episode as “stand-up.” Throwing your helmet is a pretty douche move, imo.

"Stand-up" refers to the lack of an appeal.

Appealing this suspension would have been douche on top of douche. The isolated non-appeal is stand-up, everything else is douche.

The embarrassement of the whole episode will go away quicker for Youklis if he did'nt appeal.

smart move publicity wise rather than stand-up anything.

Hey la, hey, Halo...

I guess they feel better about him missing the games v Texas

instead of the following week v the MF Yanks.

Good for us but beware of the Dick Motta Wounded Tiger Theory.

The great tony kornheiser

thinks youk was justified and shouldn’t get nearly as many games as porcello.

hmm.

the preceding post was a great success.

kornheiser is a douce

5 games = 1 missed start… and if they wanted to, I guess they could pitch him on the 6th day… so they aren’t really losing much.

This is freakin huge.

We won’t have to worry about his bat in the line up, but more importantly we won’t have to listen to the fucking idiot bandwagon jumpers yell “Youuuuuuuuuuuuk”
