Ah, the everyone does it line. I could post tens of thousands of pictures of pitchers that don't use pine tar.

You're just asking for an e-peen fencing match now, Trip.

Many pitchers admit to using a foreign substance after they retired, including hall of famers. You won't see it during the summer because it is hot. You only see it in the spring and fall.

Hitters know it and they don't care, you heard Papi after the game last time.

I'm not saying you guys are, but it is generally the casual fans that are the most vocal in these situations, and many of them don't know this.

Stop. Just please... stop.

You're making yourself look ignorant.

Is he the only one? Hell no. Is it only a minority that does it? Yes.

We aren't talking about the early eras of baseball here. I know a pitcher that threw a no-hitter while on LSD, and other pitchers have admitted to taking drugs while playing, hall of famers even.

Must mean they're all doing it.

Hell, my pitchers are on Babe Ruth PEDs. Fried chicken and beer.

It was more of an exaggeration when I said everyone does it, but my point was that is very common.

Anyway I'm just gonna bow out before anything gets started.

So, somehow the Rangers have the best record in the AL. I can't wait until we get healthy. If Derek Holland comes back healthy, he could very well be the difference in the race with Oakland.

Your team isn't clean slated either bud. Lester used tar in the World Series and bucholz last may had issues with "rosin" "sweat" and his arm..

But they didn't draw themselves into a magnifying glass, then get busted for the EXACT SAME THING 2 weeks later, resulting in ejection.

I don't think it was tar that Lester had, something green though.

Edit: To play Devils Advocate, Lester didn't have two weeks to do it again. Just a little joke, not being serious.

Watched the whole Pineda saga from last night on MLB.TV. What an idiot. NESN spotted the tar around the time he took the mound in the 2nd, and he was tossed with two outs in the inning.

The YES guys reaction was interesting, implying that everybody does it and Pineda should have tried to hide it better.

I'm completely confused by the double standard in baseball. It's cheating to to use a substance on a baseball but it's okay and expected -- just don't make it obvious. But if you inject yourself with a substance to hit those baseballs better that's not okay and you should be suspended for a long time.

Edit: Just to clarify I thing both are terrible.

10 game suspension for Pineda, likely two starts, but don't know if he will appeal.
