Under The Influence...
What do you get when you cross a young impressionable bat-boy, $500 & a dare? A six game suspension!A batboy who accepted a dare Sunday by trying to drink a gallon of milk without throwing up has been suspended by the Marlins for his actions.
The unidentified batboy will not be allowed to work the upcoming, six-game homestand at Dolphins Stadium against the Cardinals and Mets from Aug. 29 through Sept. 4.
But Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny, who offered $500 to the batboy if he could drink a gallon of milk in less than an hour before Sunday's game, was angry about the decision.
''It's kind of ridiculous that you get a 10-game suspension for steroids and a six-game suspension for milk,'' Penny said.
According to Penny, the batboy drank the gallon of milk within the time allotment but was unable to keep it down.

Just goes to show you that baseball really has its priorities in order. It is ridicolous how stupid they are at MLB.
Wow. I should try that at work and see if they suspend me. I need a vacation. What would the disciplinary notice read. Milk abuse?
But milk is stepping up to the plate--sorry, bad pun. Apparently, some milk health association has offered to pay the bat boy $500, plus any lost wages during the suspension, if he promises to drink the recommended 3 glasses of milk per day the rest of his life. Hilarious.
