No, Gerrit Cole instigated the hug, soon we'll all read about the outrage for his lack of accountability in hugs

Wait a minute... Gerrit Cole went over and gave her a hug as well? Aw... how sweet.

2 Carlos Gomez experiences to share.

The video cuts off after Gomez starts to walk away and Maldonado runs in and sucker punches her in the face.

"Two hugs seemed excessive to me. Play the game the right way."

Go go gadget emotions!

Carlos Gomez, Thug, Makes Young Fan Cry

Somewhere there is a pitcher is looking forward to brushing Gomez back for show boating and going in for that second hug.

To be fair, Barry, I believe those tears had less to do with the hug and more to do with the fact that the Brewers were losing to the Cubs.

I have a five dollar one, for you: Sarcasm.

Ooh, three dollar words, a bargain!

YAWN, not much of a statement. Maybe you can prepare a better one, next time.

Wake me when you actually have something intelligent to add to the convers-Shit no, I'd end up sleeping forever and a day by that stipulation.

Adam Silver is not law enforcement so whether or not Sterling broke any laws is entirely irrelevant. The NBA levies fines on players and coaches for criticizing officials. Surely they can fine Sterling for making comments like these.

And to those suggesting that this gesture wasn't enough, seriously? In the modern US news cycle this will get the same over-coverage every other scandal of the day gets. The League will hand it's punishment down probably Tuesday, and by Thursday it will be forgotten by the vast majority. Wearing a black armband…

Looks like they're taking the best revenge out on Mr. Sterling. They're playing like shit.

"The Clippers forfeited their game today, as each player was issued double technicals for kicking the ball as hard as they could into the stands whenever they received it."

If Blake Griffin gives a double wink before catching a lob, there will be no Blood Moon on the Eve of Azgaroth's Fall. Locked in for two and a half hours of reading symbolism in everything Clipper-related.
