Suck It Up

By now, you’ve probably heard about Paul LoDuca’s personal issues. I have no comment about what LoDuca is going through. His divorce is none of my business. And as long as he isn’t gambling on baseball, he can play the ponies to his heart’s content.

But I had to laugh dark, mordant chuckles when I read the Met’s statement about their catcher:

We have talked to Major League Baseball and they have expressed no concern of any violation of any Major League Baseball rule regarding Paul Lo Duca. Right now, we urge Paul to focus on baseball and we support him through this difficult period in his life. [emphasis mine]

In other words: Hey, Paul…too bad your marriage imploded. But don’t forget we got a game tonight. Suck it up and get on the field.
