Edmonds and Eckstein to use pink bats

[CardsFanInChiTown]

I wanted to post this before any Cub fan did. Anyway, it's for a great cause.

Good for them. I think all big leaguers should too.

If anybody hears which Cubs will be using them, please post.

From the looks of the offense, I'm not sure the Cubs players are using bats anymore.

Maybe they'll do better with the pinks?

My mom is a survivor too.

 

Go Jim and David.

Sensitivity isn't something commonly associated with pro athletes. Good for them.

I work across the street from the Louisville Slugger Museum. They have big pink spotlights pointed at the giant bat so that it will glow pink at night!

He can just use portions of the pink Cub bats as the toothpicks since their bats are broken.

Will he wear pink wrist sweatbands?

I know that was a joke, but..

 

Along with the pink bats, players and all on-field personnel will wear pink wristbands and a pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness on their uniforms. The pink ribbon logo will appear on the bases and on commemorative home plates, and the lineups will be written on pink cards.

It would be something if Bonds surpasses Babe Ruth using a pink bat. I'm sure he will be using his standard black bat, but if it was with the pink one it would be forever etched in time.

Songstress dies at 37. Latin Grammy winner Soraya had battled breast cancer

Just another example of why this isn't a laughing matter.

Yeah, we get it.

Not Soraya!

[CubinNY]

Not Soraya!

 

That is neither cute or funny and completely wrong.

Why? Because someone I never heard of died? Thousands of people I've never heard of who have had far harder lives than some Latin Grammy winner die every day and I don't see anyone shedding any tears for them. Breast cancer is a terrible thing, you don't have to shed a tear for every pseudo celebrity who comes down with it to illustrate that fact.

Until cancer and death become lauging manners, you really shouldn't make light of them either. Your silence would have been appreciated.
