Jason Lane intentionally slid into Abraham Nunez. Using the power of Tivo.... he slides offline and initiates contact 5 feet from the base and 2 feet outside his straight line path to the base. Some call that hard nosed baseball. I call it a cheap play. Its good baseball to break up a double play. But in that case the shortstop or 2nd baseman is expecting it. Nunez is at third with no opprotunity to throw anyone else out. Lamb could see that Nunez is setting up way away to receive an offline throw. Lamb altered his course, if he had taken the direct line and slid in there was no way for a tag to be applied. Its a bullshit pussy play that only cowards and chumps make. I hope his father is embarrassed. I know I would be.
If Jason Lane doesn't get plunked soon I'd be surprised.

I agree...now if only Larry Walker could get a hit.
Unfortunately, you can't plunk him in the playoffs -- too much is at stake (especially now). Next year, however, I hope he gets drilled. Hard.
