Rafael Palmeiro should have retired

While we all hope Ryan Franklin is pitching his final games for the M's, at least as a starter, the East Coast steroid user aka. Rafael Palmeiro has now been benched for the rest of the year.

The guy should have retired. I said it then, I say it now. Is he going to enjoy sitting on the bench? Taking pot shots from guys like Schilling? And Robinson? Getting yelled at by drunk fans at every ballpark...

Life cannot be good for the guy right now. He lied in front of Congress. He got caught. He looks like an idiot. He needs to just go away for awhile.

....

The M's have lost what, 8 straight series to the Yankees? That is pathetic. Can the M's please take the game tonight to add to the drama of tomorrow's Johnson/Hernandez duel? Is that too much to ask?

Pay-Rod. Felix.

Can't wait.
