Stoopid Baseball Tricks
Royals left-hander John Bale won't be returning to active duty any time soon after breaking his pitching hand Friday night by punching a door at the team's downtown hotel.
Bale apparently was frustrated by his slow recovery from a fatigued left shoulder. He returned early Sunday to Kansas City and is scheduled to undergo further examination Monday by club physicians.
"I'm not pleased, obviously," manager Trey Hillman said.
He sounds a little Section eight to me. I wonder if he is related to Kyle Farnsworth.
