The Book

So, let me get this straight: if going into the sixth inning of a game your team is down by nine runs, baseball etiquette dictates that you basically stop trying to win?  At least, this is how I understand Cleveland’s indignation over B.J. Upton’s stolen bases in the sixth on Thursday night.  And pumped up with self-righteous outrage, they sent a closer into the eighth inning of Sunday’s game with the express purpose of hitting Upton–THREE DAYS LATER?

I realize that I’m new to baseball but is it safe to say that this is really stupid?  
On a different note, I’m enjoying this article on the history of balks and reading Miguel Batista’s poetry.
