stairs_matt1MLB elders Matt Stairs and Jamie Moyer are having a hard time holding back their opinions on the unsettling behavior of the “young punks” around the league.

“These guys today are spoiled rotten, plain and simple,” Moyer said on Saturday. “From the way they wear their baggy britches all the way down to their spikes to their fancy megatron scoreboards … baaaah, just spoiled, the whole lot of ‘em.”

Stairs, who is competing for the final roster spot, has noticed several unwelcome changes since the time he entered the league in 1992 with the Montreal Expos.

“Nowadays, guys come straight from the womb with $10 million signing bonuses and shoe deals,” said Stairs. “Back in my day, I knew guys that struggled to find two pennies to rub together to afford their PEDs. Guys today just have no respect for the game.”
