Jake Peavy: Filthy Cheater or Just Bad at Wiping?
Baseball April 6th. 2008, 11:00amA reader sent in the following last night:
Hey guys, me and my friend caught these pictures after the final out of today’s game. Peavy was about to shake hands with Adrian Gonzalez and bingo! My friend saw something. We rewinded it (thank god for Tivo) and confirmed a brown substance. Notice how its only on his two index fingers and thumb. What do you think?
I’d say Peavy is cheatin’. More evidence after the jump.
It certainly looks an awful lot like the Tigers’ Kenny Rogers circa 2006 World Series. You can view more photos of Peavy’s poop hand here.
AND I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT, IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU PESKY KIDS AND YOUR BLOGS!

i assume most pitchers try to get away with stuff like this all the time

he probably just checked some guy’s oil, so cut him some slack

At least Rogers had the excuse of it being like 25 degrees outside.

*grammar nazi comment ahead*…
To the reader who sent Patrick the pictures: The English language; learn it, know it, love it. And let me guess, you’re a Dodger fan, right?
That said, so the guy has dirt, or snot, or shit, or shoe polish, whatever on his hand; yeah, so? I’m with molemaninthemorning on this; he’s not the only one doing it.

Just because everyone is doing doesn’t make it right, where the fuck is everyone’s integrity?

I blame this on the thin toilet paper in the clubhouse.

I’d rather watch a well pitched game(even with a little shit on his fingers after the oil check on his catcher) than a 10-9 game.

It looks like he’s trowing a combination of a Shineball and a splitter. otherwise known as a Shitter.

I would like to point out that just because I post, doesn’t mean I think the sky is falling. I’m sure the majority of pitchers are always trying to gain an edge - but it’s still noteworthy regardless of your opinion.
And it’s not every day I get to link to a picture of Scooby Doo.

As someone who is a fan of the team currently employing Livan Hernandez, I say pitchers should be able to do whatever the hell they want.

ESPN just dropped a reference to the site. Twice in a week now. Not bad TBL, you’re newsworthy.

Thanks Hef, had no idea. But will be doing a follow-up to this, for sure.
