There are a lot of strange theories out there on the Interwebs but, whoa Nelly, this one takes the cake! Any HR benefits any hitter--always. Sluggers get paid to slug. No slugger can choose when he will hit a HR and certainly no one would choose NOT to hit a HR when it is beneficial to his team. If a hitter were to be known as a "clutch hitter" (and Ramirez actually IS known as an RBI guy) then he makes MORE money. OK, a BLOGGER quotes a POSTER to his site who theoretically has "A CONTACT WITH ACCESS" and this is now fact? No! This is LESS than RUMOR--at least you can trace a rumor to its source. Here there is only a poster who has "a contact." Regardless, even the blogger/poster/"contact" didn't call this anything like a "Latino Uprising." That was all you (so now this is poster/blogger/poster/"contact"). AKA, useless. What did blogger/poster/"contact" actually say? That Ramirez "...wouldn’t let them(sic) team haze Castro..." Hell, I'm lily white and, were I on the team, I wouldn't let them haze Castro either. Sure, the guy is selfishly all about himself and yet he injures himself on purpose because this is actually good for him. Or maybe poster/blogger/poster/"contact" don't really know what is going on and are playing the telephone game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_whispers Well, I read a Blogger who has a Frequent Poster who knows a Supposed Contact who sat near them in a Bar and, Privately, they disagree with you. post of the year!!!
