Keith Hernandez is in the news today, have you seen this, have you heard about this

Apparently Keith Hernandez thinks that working out too much is bad for athletes. Immediately after saying this, Jose Canseco stood up and added, "Oh, yes, I also think that working out is a bad idea for anybody playing professional sports." A few seconds later Mike Schmidt ran into the room with a towel around his waist, hair still wet, and said, "am i too late to say something about the current players"

Keith Hernandez makes the mistake of stepping in front of a gun while it's aimed at lats of steel in today's Dugout, after the jump.

(and hey, why was Matthew Stockton of Getty Images taking a picture of Keith Hernandez's butt?)

MexPower: and you don't have any knives lying around, do you?

pr0FF3ss0r_F4rnsw0rth: no but we used to have wil nieves

MexPower: Good. I wanted to talk to you about your workout.

pr0FF3ss0r_F4rnsw0rth: 20,000 hindu squats an then i do the plank until i pass out; upon waken up i shoot bullets with my lats on yonder treadmille whilst usen powerful musicks to imagine dirty teens who come together through a mutual love of ironed maiden

pr0FF3ss0r_F4rnsw0rth: hey werent you on that show about the jew folk what cant get along with nobody

what was that show callt

MexPower: I think I disagree with all the workouts that you guys do. I think that the workout programs have made you better players than you are. If we had done the same thing back in my day, I think I would have had better numbers.

MexPower: in the course of a season, I think you guys do too much. I think it's a long year and a guy like Jose Reyes, who plays hard and plays everyday and steals bases, you cannot leave it in the trainer's room. You cannot leave it in the weight room.

MexPower: I think it should be scaled back. I think it's a big mistake they are making. You're 24 years old, you shouldn't get tired. But I think you all just do too much working out. This is not a criticism of Jose, or of you.

MexPower: It is a criticism of your work regimen. You can do all that stuff in the off-season and work hard all they want to get yourself bigger and stronger. But, when the season starts, you have got to have some gas in the tank when it comes August, September.

pr0FF3ss0r_F4rnsw0rth: that show was callt barney miller

pr0FF3ss0r_F4rnsw0rth: wait what, are you still talken
