The reason why no one on the Jays accused Buchholtz of wrong doing is because they like every team in baseball have guys on their staff that are probably doing it. It would take some big ones to accuse a pitcher on another team of loading up the ball when some of their own are doing the same.

I see the Globe is still trying to keep this "cheating" non-story alive. Anything for a little controversy.

Some talk today his arm wasn't "shiny" last night. Could be Buchholz is just playing games. Leiter said on MLB TV he just grooved a couple pitches last night for the runs. Otherwise looked fine. Good stuff.

 

The only people who should be concerned are the umpires. It's their call. And so far, they have seen nothing. So what's the big deal, media?

So here's what Buchholz is doing--using Bullfrog sunscreen--what almost every other pitcher does to get a better grip. That's why the Toronto players--or the umpires--had no comment.

 

The culprit is Morris. He knew damn well what the real story was, and tried to make it into something else. So did Harold Reynolds and the rest of those media types who tried to pass this off as "cheating."

 

The real story here is why Morris et al did what they did. Red Sox haters. Include the Boston Globe, owned by the NY Times.
