The Chicago White Sox have fined Pitcher Mark Buehrle for tarp sliding during Sunday’s rain delay. Tarp sliding! This was a staple of TWIB and our favorite childhood memories were of Mel Allen giving the play by play of everyone’s favorite rain delay distraction.
While Buehrle might have gone overboard when he motioned for fans to join in on the fray (someone actually did and was quickly escorted off by security), there will be no more tarp sliding with or without inviting the fans for Buehrle.
After I came in, somebody else said [I was fined]. We’ll see if it comes out to be the truth, but if it is, I won’t be out there anymore. I can’t have any fun no more.
This is a sad day for the NFL MLB.
