On MLB.com, comments for the story on Mike Jacobs, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox third baseman who tested positive for HGH and was released by the Colorado Rockies, have been disabled. But the number 35 appears in parentheses after the story's abstract. So 35 comments did get posted before the censors went to work.
I never got to read the comments, but can guess at their content.
How nice it must be, to grow up part of a generation that can send unpleasantness into the memory hole with the click of a mouse.
"We were very disappointed to learn that Mike Jacobs had been suspended after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance," read a prepared statement issued by the Rockies.
Really?
Bet they were delighted when Vinny Castilla was hitting home runs for them like he was playing backyard whiffleball. Three in 1994, then 40, 40, 46, 33 in the next four full seasons, I'm sure the air in Denver didn't all of a sudden get thinner, and you won't read that on MLB.com.

Tribe wins 4-1 in Chicago, cutting the Pretenders' lead to 1 1-2 games heading into this weekend's Big Series 2 at Comerica. Both teams have 58 losses, but the Indians have three fewer wins; three games in hand that could become vital as the season nears its end.

Casper the Friendly Outfielder homered in four straight games last week for the Mariners. Great news for those of us who knew he would do well as a regular. The M's play three in Cleveland next week, and it's the hope, here in the second floor baseball bunker, that the young man from Grand Rapids helps the Tigers with some lusty hitting against their closest pursuers.
