Note to Shawn Estes : James Shields’ successful plunking of Coco Crisp last night, is a textbook example of a pitcher standing up for a teammate.

Conversely, Scott Schoeneweis hitting the Padres’ James McNaulty with the bases loaded, is a textbook example of a pitcher standing up for his teammates who have dinner reservations. David Roth simply adds, “Scott Schoeneweis is bad for the Jews.”
