Merged: Marlins suspend batboy

best line by Brad Penny. You get 10 games for doing steroids. You get 6 games for dinking milk!
 
:lol: on man this is going to be on PTI and around the horn tomorrow gar-ron-teed
 
did you read where penny didn't even give him the $500, because he didn't drink the milk quick enough?
 
:nono: Why is Penny talkin' trash about our organization when we gave him a WS ring.

Because they suspended a batboy six games for drinking milk.

It's dumb.
 
I want to know if Penny ultimately gave him the $500. Seems only fair after all this.

No, Penny should pay him the lost salary and give him a major tip. I don't really agree with the Marlins on this; they probably thought the kid should be batboy-ing rather than drinking milk, but they overreacted. Still, Penny's comments were unwarranted. This organization doesn't know what it's doing? Where are all of LA's major FA acquisitions, Brad?

An unidentified Florida Marlins batboy  suspended for taking on a milk-drinking dare from a player  is finding a finanacial boon may come with his sudden fame.

The batboy was suspended by the team for six games for accepting a dare from Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny to drink a gallon of milk in an hour without throwing up. Penny used to pitch for the Marlins. According to Penny, the boy drank the milk in the allotted time, but could not keep it down.

In the wake of the suspension, the Milk Processor Education Program is offering to pay the batboy $500, the original prize of the dare, plus any lost wages that resulted from the suspension, ESPN reported on Thursday. According to the report, the batboy must agree to drink three glasses of milk a day, but not all at one sitting.
