Ravech_2099: The Post said the pair entered an elevator at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto -- near the Park Hyatt where most of the Royals stayed -- after dinner at a steak house Sunday night.

They later went to a strip club.

Ravech_2099: An inside headline called him a "ROYAL BUMMER."

Gammondorf: In Kansas City, there are so many more things that you talk about on a regular basis in addition to baseball.

When he took this job as the highest paid player in the history of baseball, he certainly knew it wasn't going to be about hitting and running and fielding grounders.

Ravech_2099: For those of you just tuning in, disappointing news from the baseball world, as the famed "mystical protectorate of baseball fortune" came crashing down to Earth today, mired in scandal and personal failure.

Gammondorf: One can only imagine that Pecota found that mystery blonde in the same place he got found protectorance.

Ravech_2099: Reporters caught up with Bill Pecota after today's game, and the 26 million dollar-a-year third baseman had this to say:

PecotaChrome: /looks down at floor
/adjusts headband

you know

you know times like this

you gotta stay focused, focus on your team and execute well, and just play the game, you know

we had a excellent game today and our team executed well and we were victorious

PecotaChrome: /stares blankly off-screen as reporters snap photos

you just have to keep your mind on the game

Ravech_2099: Peter Gammons, your thoughts?

Gammondorf: I think Bill Pecota is a victim here. I think the press in Kansas City is so concerned with making or breaking you that sometimes an event like this, an event that should cause problems between a man and a woman, is made to cause problems with a man and baseball, and that's just not the case.

Gammondorf: I certainly feel for Mrs. Pecota and their family, but if Bill keeps posting .330/40/120 seasons I see no reason to let this affect his role on the team.

Ravech_2099: Our Baseball Tonight online poll reveals that 70% of viewers polled believe "already knew he was a jackass," followed by "something about the media."

Gammondorf: I certainly agree, something about the media

Gammondorf: meeeeediaaaaaa
