Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

HA HA! Really?!

From the Seattlest blog:

Here's how bad it's gotten for the Mariners' $15 million flop, Adrian Beltre:

Every player gets a positive-seeming statistic flashed on the scoreboard when he comes to bat. But Beltre's been so terrible (he's hitting .221), this is what the Mariners PR staff had to resort to during last night's game:

"Hitting .307 when wearing alternate blue jersey."

That is totally awesome! Imagine what depths the PR staff will have to sink to if Beltre's problems continue:

"Hitting .325 against left-handed pitchers with hot sisters."

"Lifetime .373 on-base percentage against Latvian emigres."

"Enjoying a ten-game hit streak against pitchers who kind of look like guys I went to high school with."
