The Florida Marlins' batboy was suspended for six games because he accepted a $500 dare from Los Angeles pitcher Brad Penny. The bet? Penny said that the boy couldn't drink a gallon of milk in less than an hour without throwing up. Penny won the bet, according to the Miami Herald, because the kid didn't drink the milk in under an hour. He didn't puke though, which is kewl.
The boy got a six-game suspension, and Penny got to keep 500/5,100,000ths of his salary (for you non-Einsteins, that means Penny makes $5.1 million per year). "It's kind of ridiculous that you get a 10-game suspension for steroids and a six-game suspension for milk," Penny told the Herald. He's right. Why the hell was the kid suspended? Nobody died. It's not like it was KAHLUA and milk. It was milk. Lighten up Marlins. I hope the Mets pass you in the Wild Card now. I hope you like finish 4th in the Wild Card, behind the Mets, Astros and Nationals. No, make that fifth. Throw the Phillies in there. Okay bye.
