And MLB makes it official: Joe West, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

Across the ESPN wires came this gem today:

Joe West was suspended three games for his comments on a piece being done for his 5,000th Major League Baseball game when he slammed Adrian Beltre as the biggest complainer in the game.

Technically, the suspension is for appearance of bias -- though one has to wonder if that would mean any ump who's given that "fuck you strike 3" to a batter who complained about strike 1 or 2 (then tossed him after the FU strike 3) should get same...

But my anonymous friend, a huge baseball fan, had it right.  If this was one incident, maybe a warning or fine.

But Joe West has made a career and reputation out of being a fucking asshole.  So this is the baseball community (FINALLY!) telling Joe West to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
