Good Riddance. 17 games still doesn't seem quite long enough.

The great Jeff Pearlman also has a long-standing history of speaking out against the whirlwind of dickishness that is Jayson Werth. In fact, his lede in this piece is "If you’ve read this blog before, you know Jayson Werth is one of my least-favorite professional athletes. He’s one of those guys who, for some odd reason, thinks that holding an ill-fitting leather glove and wearing red-and-white pajamas to work gives him the right to crap on people" and goes from there.

Reading through the assorted text that passes as baseball information on the web, I came across these two gems in the article linked above: "Manfred also pointed to the action of the commissioner’s office when baseball’s credit line was not renewed. It negotiated a new line of credit for $125 million, from which clubs can borrow." "Boras would like the Giants to step up if for no other reason than to worry the Dodgers, who need Ramirez’s run production in their lineup but haven’t demonstrated a willingness to offer Ramirez anywhere near the contract Boras wants. Four or five years for $25 million a year would do nicely, thank you." In an article about collusion, I found these comments entertaining. Your thoughts ?
