Either way, former Phillie and sage of the sport and its etiquette, Mike Schmidt, had this to say about Bryce Harper's cocky attitude, “I hate to bring this into it, but I would think at some point the game itself, the competition on the field, is going to have to figure out a way to police this young man,” Schmidt said. “If indeed his manager won't, the game will end up taking care of it.”

Maybe Cole was just policing him in advance.]]>James DuganTue, 08 May 2012 21:49:58 +0000http://www.thelunchbreakblog.com/sports/2012/5/8/cole-hamels-to-bryce-harper-its-a-respect-thing.html#comments359926:5520535:comment/18047645
The great part is that Hamels said he did it on purpose. Nothing like trying to fire up a team stuck in the beginning of the year malaise. He is acting like a leader, but that is bull about a rookie being hit. I like how Washington went and threw at him. Welcome to the National League. No hiding behind a DH. I hope this fires up this team, but still everything out of DC is always Wah...Wah...Wah.

Good lunch.]]>Patrick EdmondsSat, 28 Apr 2012 15:39:55 +0000http://www.thelunchbreakblog.com/sports/2012/4/27/losing-the-play-in-sports-us-soccer-says-no-to-high-school.html#comments359926:5520535:comment/17883641
I think I'll write more on this later. Good thoughts and an interesting story that probably isn't receiving the coverage it deserves.]]>natehagueWed, 25 Apr 2012 15:01:37 +0000http://www.thelunchbreakblog.com/sports/2012/4/17/al-west-preview-off-season-moves-make-for-divisional-drama.html#comments359926:5520535:comment/17830004James DuganThu, 19 Apr 2012 20:50:25 +0000http://www.thelunchbreakblog.com/sports/2012/4/19/nl-west-preview-a-division-full-of-stories.html#comments359926:5520535:comment/17678796
If there was an all star game between divisions, I believe the NL west would win. That being said -- the series will leave them alone for many years.]]>StevieJenksThu, 19 Apr 2012 14:14:21 +0000http://www.thelunchbreakblog.com/sports/2012/3/31/re-learning-our-past-time-advice-to-coaches-and-dads.html#comments359926:5520535:comment/17677003

These two teams should be great reasons to stay up late and catch a game over here in the east.]]>James DuganSat, 07 Apr 2012 00:18:58 +0000http://www.thelunchbreakblog.com/sports/2012/4/5/al-central-preview-prince-makes-tigers-reign.html#comments359926:5520535:comment/17558507
I think the Royals pick is great. I have been watching the Royals single A team in Delaware for a couple of years and they have good talent there and I am glad you recognized it. I do not think they will be second but that will be a nice surprise. I am picking the Twins for second, but not to challenge. This is looking like The NL East the past couple of seasons. Everybody battling 10 games out.]]>Patrick EdmondsThu, 05 Apr 2012 17:05:09 +0000http://www.thelunchbreakblog.com/sports/2012/4/3/nl-central-preview-the-good-the-bad-and-the-very-ugly.html#comments359926:5520535:comment/17552757James DuganThu, 05 Apr 2012 12:36:32 +0000http://www.thelunchbreakblog.com/sports/2012/4/3/nl-central-preview-the-good-the-bad-and-the-very-ugly.html#comments359926:5520535:comment/17551573
