Quote of note:
But how crazy is this? The Caribbean-born manager, stung by racism in the past, hurt by Krueger's hurtful statement, becomes the villain in the piece, and Krueger becomes the martyr.

These are confusing times.
Kenny Rogers, whose angry rampage sent a TV cameraman to the hospital, is back on the mound, having had his light suspension further lightened.
Rafael Palmeiro, who cheated by using steroids, then lied about cheating, will soon be digging into the batter's box after a brief timeout.
No misdeed goes punished. Even Karl Rove and Robert Novak are still in power and riding high. Hey, it's Treason Lite.
Yet here in our little city, three KNBR employees are fired over something stupid one of them said, and Felipe Alou, baseball's most dignified manager, is under attack for being under attack.
