muscle shirts are different than tank tops?

Slives: Okaaaaay
I am not sure how effective it will be to clean up baseball's steroid image by making the media dress nicer.

But then again, some big businesses thought that could solve the issue of corrupt management by making all the peons go back to a formal dress code, so I guess it is just the same mindless 'logic'.

I'm unclear as to why you think this has anything to do with steroids.

I doubt this decision has anything at all to do with baseball's "steroid image" and everything to do with old curmudgeons sitting in the press box shaking their fist, yelling at clouds, and pining for the days when everyone wore a suit, tie, and hat.

Mustard-stained sweatshirts still ok.

So no cartoon characters in the dugout then

So capes are still cool, right?

Is this why that NESN girl left baseball for basketball?

MLB's new media dress code bans visible undergarments, tank tops...

I don't understand, why would MLB alienate a growing part of their fan base by not allowing Telemundo and other spanish speaking reporters? Seems raycess to me.

the hell are you on about, man?

They should band those stupid titanium necklaces (you know, that look like candy canes) and in general, restrict pitchers to one necklace. lotta pitchers nowadays take the bump looking like farking hell Mr. T with 9 necklaces.

and also the shiatty cliche of wearing teh same hat all season. come october its all gooed up and gunked up with 162 games' worth of foul and filth and filth flarn filth and foulness.

also those baggy ass pants with about 4' of clothing all balled up beneath the knee. you look like a farking slob, wearing your older brother's hand me downs you haven't grown into.


but mainly those stupid candy cane necklaces.

Beer spills and fried chicken grease still ok.

i count two obvious in teh picture above, including the shiatty candy cane necklace, and i think i see a third.

if i was a batter (or a manager), just to fark with a pitcher waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to invested in the need to wear so many necklaces, i'd tell the umpire they distracted from the delivery of the ball and make him take a couple off. just to get in his head. You see that sometimes when a pitcher has a long sleeve shirt and it flaps around his hand. the batter or manager will biatch about it and they'll make the pitcher cut it.

How about we do something about the actual quality of the media and ban Joe Buck and Tim McCarver?

Now that's just crazy talk. Who else is Troy Aikman supposed to make stupid and obvious comments to?

Does this pass muster?

You realize McCarver is being inducted into the Hall of Fame yes?

Will they put his plaque 60'6" away from Steve Carlton's?

As a player? Debatable. As a broadcaster? That had to have required bribes and blackmail. The man thinks he knows everything about baseball, but he sounds like baseball's equivalent of Joe Theismann.

Are you wearing a short skirt? There's no short skirts in baseball.

"Well, I don't know how to feel about Alfred Pullos being traded to the Dodgers. It's one thing to perform away from the spotlight in Kansas City, quite another to have to deal with the bright lights of the Big Apple. I guess what I mean, Joe, is that Alfred would have to start producing if he wants to stay in the National League. The American League would love to make him a DH; I LOVE this trade!"

// and his voice is also annoying
// I wanna hear Greg Maddux do color commentary
// "One time, I pissed on that guy's leg. Oh, and that one. Yeah, him too. OK, the only guys on the field whose legs I haven't pissed on are the ballboys. And half the grounds crew."

I wouldn't call it racist, but there is a bit of sexism involved. Most of the stuff I read there targeted women's attire. Just how many female beat writers are in baseball? 1 in 100 at most?

UNC_Samurai: How about we do something about the actual quality of the media and ban Joe Buck and Tim McCarver?

I vote that all three-man broadcast teams be outlawed. I'm looking at you, Sunday Night Baseball and TBS post-season coverage.

I wonder what some of these inappropriate outfits look like

We MUST now have a Tom Glavine/Greg Maddux announcing team.

"Long Balls With Tom and Greg"

UNC_Samurai: "Long Balls With Tom and Greg"



Chicks dig the Long Balls.

what a bunch of dicks.

Dear Jerk: Are you wearing a short skirt? There's no short skirts in baseball.

Yes or no?

bingethinker: Apparently, it's important to be properly dressed when talking to a naked man in a locker room.

Yes, because they only thing the working media does at the ballpark is go into the clubhouse after the game.

They needed it.

Baseball beat writers looked like they rolled out of bed just in time to get the last round of food in the media lounge....and that's on a good day.

Interesting question. Since Hoshino Aki is wearing shorts under that skirt and possibly a bikini top (which wouldn't be underwear then) under the jersey, is it safe?

Yes or no or moar!1111!!!?

It was good but it can't compare to the 1995 Randy Johnson - Mr. Snappy commercial. Wish I could find that online.

Those are some outstanding journalistic credentials, right there.

bulldg4life: Baseball beat writers looked like they rolled out of bed just in time to get the last round of food in the media lounge....and that's on a good day.

That's 100% true. Beat writers in every sport are a bunch of grimy dorks who never met a free meal they couldn't spill on their already-stained khaki pants.

Well fark, what other sport has teams play 2.7 games per day with half a day off every other month? What's a full regular season schedule now? Like 1457 games per team?

They were going to ban wifebeaters, but then Brett Myers would have to find a new line of work.

I'd LOVE to see some players pool some cash and offer to rent tuxes (with top hats) and gowns for the writers for opening day.
