I Need to Hire a Babysitter

Well I am back from Boston. I've been back since Monday, actually, but I have been too busy to blog. See, I have been getting ready for my next adventure. My dad is taking me to Cooperstown tomorrow and I am coming back Saturday. I won't be gone as long as Boston, but the car ride is longer, so I've been buying stuff like DVD's and CD's for my IPod. I also had to get some crackers because I get car sick really fast.

Boston was great. I really liked that place. We stayed in Cambridge which is the next town over. I absoluetly LOVED Fenway Park. It was the most fun thing I have ever done, ever. We were going to watch a Red Sox game, but they were out of town, so we took a tour instead. We got to sit in the grandstand, see the Fisk Foul Pole, check out the view from the Green Monster, and the best part: we got to sit in the Press Box. I was sitting in the Boston Globe seat. I think that's where Nick Cafardo sits. That's pretty awesome, he is one of the top baseball writers in the country. I've decided that is what I want to do when I grow up. Sit in the press box behind home plate and get  paid to write up a nice little summary of the game and throw my thoughts in. Basically blogging but I get to go to every game for free and I get the best seat in the house. 

There were only two negatives to the trip, both being minor. 1 was my parents were constantly fighting with the stupid GPS (my mom likes to do things herself even though she is good with technology and my dad is practically a caveman with that stuff and wants all the help he can get, only he doesn't want to admit it). 2 was my family slept in late and waited until like 9:30 to take showers so I didn't get to have breakfast until around 10:30 (I am the only early bird). I guess I deserved it since I kept them up all night by talking in my sleep :p.

I did take lots of pictures, but my mom still hasn't uploaded them to the computer yet. I may give you them along with my Cooperstown pictures, but I don't know if I will take any since its my mom's camera. 

But when I turned on ESPN in the hotel room before I went to bed, I saw a horrific site: Matt Cain hitting David Wright in the head with a 94 MPH fastball. He got a concussion, and you guessed it, he went to the DL. I guess David didn't follow my advice, did he?

This is crazy. I leave town for no more than one weekend and all heck breaks loose. Why can't they play nice?

But it's not just the Mets. During the past month, it seems like there has been a very large increase in hit batsmen, and a specifically large percent of that being to the head area.

I think Major League Baseball needs to take action. Start suspending players. Brad Thompson got 3 games and Rick Porcello got 5 games. Why? Because people suspected there was intent.

Now, I am not saying that I think Matt Cain hit David Wright on purpose, I think that was a complete accident. But I am saying that a lot more of the cases lately have definitely been on purpose.

Since I will be gone this weekend and unable to police this, I leave all of my fellow MLBloggers in charge. If anyone gets hit with a pitch, and I mean ANYONE, even if you think there was no intent, I want you to blog about it. Then leave me a comment with the link and I will read it. I will read all of them. Then we can e-mail Bud Selig and maybe make a change.

Good luck, MLBlogs. I am trusting you.
