Yes, clearly the baseball gods held Yadi's glove hand down to prevent him from tagging Coghlan. They don't want baseball to turn into a circus. These are men not animals.

Along with Jim Bowden and Doug Padilla. I'm sure that most, if not all of them, will resurface on either FS1 or MLBN. Baseball Tonight is essentially being gutted, not that I ever watch it anyway.

I'm a little surprised at all the hand wringing over Stark.  I'm sure he's a nice guy, but his analysis has never been anything special and i'm sure he's done just fine for himself.

I don't watch him on TV because I don't watch Baseball Tonight, etc., but I've always enjoyed his articles.

This. Isn't he the one that does that "Unusual Things to Happen in Baseball this Year" or whatever it's called? That's constantly one of my favorite reads of the year.

I mean, it's okay to feel for a guy who loses his job.

He'll make it.  The coal mining industry is making a come back.

Doug Glanville laid off as well.  I can't watch the pre/postgame stuff, but Cubs should dump DeJesus (David but find a way to keep Kim) and bring Glanville in.

They should just fire Coomer and give that job to Glanville.

I know some people like Coomer (at least other than the inning where he does PBP), but he always seems like a doofus to me.

 

Glanville would be great.

Coomer is fucking useless.
