You will probably see that title or something very similar a lot this seaosn. The Atlantic League does a lot of interesting things and then has very interesting reasons for doing those things.
Today's example:
York outfielder Peter Bergeron, a former major leaguer who had some success at that level, did not play in any of the three games at Commerce Bank Ballpark this weekend.
I asked about it Sunday and was told "he is being given the day off." Understandable, but why is he "being given three straight days off."
He is not on the disabled list. No one said he is injured. He's not in any known trouble with the team or league. Just "getting days off."
Imagine if A-Rod was just "getting three straight days off" from the Yankees. Yeah, no one would be suspicious of that.
It seems completely normal that Bergeron gets more off days this weekend than I get this month.

Let me revise that, sans typos:
Because nobody gives a rat's arse about what goes on between the lines.
Now if they canceled the dizzy bat contest, the populace would demand a reason.
The only time A-Rod and Peter Bergeron should be mentioned in the same sentence is like this: "Peter Bergeron is to A-Rod what Rafael Santana is to Hank Aaron." Thank you.
One more thought ...
The headline said it all. You could have just stopped writing after that and the point still would have been driven home.
At least for those of us who follow (or followed) the league.
He missed those games because he had a rib cage injury that the team was hiding.
- a little birdie
The actions of York this weekend do not reflect the entire League's actions. By the way, they're are a lot of people that care about the team.
conspiracy theories!!!!
