Where's George Brett when you need him?
Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson broke form with baseball's oh so important unwritten rules last night, instructing umpires to inspect the glove of Rays pitcher Joel Peralta for pine tar. Rays manager Joe Maddon called Johnson's play "bogus," "bush" and a "pussy move." And Maddon is one hundred percent correct (video of Maddon discussing the incident below).
Peralta pitched for the Nationals in 2010, so his former teammates must have known that Peralta likes to load his glove with pine tar, which is illegal for pitchers, but not the least bit uncommon. Johnson, acting on inside information on Peralta, requested that umpires inspect Peralta's glove. Umps found what they called a "significant amount of pine tar" and Joel Peralta was ejected before he even threw a pitch.
The problem with what Davey Johnson did is that his info on Peralta was ill-gotten. It didn't...

Rio Directed by: Carlos Saldanha Written by: Carlos Saldanha, Earl Richey Jones, Todd Jones (story), Don Rhymer, Joshua Sternin & Jefferey Ventimilia, Sam Harper (screenplay) Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, George Lopez, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro, Jemaine Clement, Jamie Foxx, Will i Am Rio is one for the kiddies, so you'll have to forgive this childless twenty-something for feeling at odds with the target audience. The theater was stuffed with tykes with mouths agape — whispering, screaming, and coughing. I have no idea if that means they were enjoying it. From an adult perspective, this anthropomorphic epic isn't necessarily a painful endurance test, but unlike Nickelodeon's Rango, there isn't a single compelling reason to recommend it to anyone over the age of 12. The voice cast is unsurprisingly stacked with actors in vogue looking to score an easy paycheck. Jesse Eisenberg channels his innermost neurosis as Blu, our fine, feathered protagonist with a fear of flying.
