Today In MLB Blogs

We've figured out where all the Tampa Bay Devil Rays fans are: England! Yep, today's hot MLB Blog is Rays From Across The Pond, a site devoted to the least-exciting baseball team, which, after all is still better than cricket. Best post:

No, the point that i wish to make is about the MLB's punishment policy. It is of course all to easy to critisize as an outsider looking in, and i recognise that the current drug-testing policy is a huge leap forward for baseball from last year even. So instead i will draw you a brief comparison with policy in football in Britain.

Last year a Manchester United player - Rio Ferdinand - was suspended for 8 months. His crime? He failed to turn up to a drug test when requested. He did take the lest at a later date, and there was no evidence found that he took (or has ever taken) any illegal substances. But the Football Association's policy is clear - that there can be no uncertaintys in any circumstances, and the punishment for any breach of the regulations must be severe.

They have football in England? Wait, he means soccer.
