Phillies pitcher charged with hitting wife

I read that Todd Jones column. I suspect he couldn't handle the pressure of playing on the East Coast, that he's one of those "sensitive" players Yankees coach Larry Bowa was talking about a couple days back. Here's portion of the retort email I sent Jones at his sportingnews.com address: Yeah, the Philly fans might have given you a hard time, but that was because you sucked when you wore the red pinstripes, and you know it. Had you gotten anybody out and didn't look like you were just at the dentist on the field all the time, it might have been different for ya in Philly. For a primer on playing ball on the East Coast, look up Larry Bowa's comments from 2 days ago. Safe to say you're not that kind of player.
