That's disappointing. Everyone has had some drinks after dealing with girl problems, but it's too bad they had to get on the boat. It doesn't lessen the tragedy for me either way though.

I think tragedy is a great word here, personally I have a big thing against anyone who is under the influence of drinks/drugs and decides to operate a motorized vehicle, and just because he's a young ballplayer I liked, it doesn't make it any different. Regardless it is still very sad and a tragic event. But I'm glad they didn't take anyone else's lives out there

Totally agree. There is ZERO excuse for driving drunk.

I smell ********. Of course someone would be trying to make a quick buck off this tragedy. f*** this world.

Cynical much?

You smell ********? This was always the most obvious conclusion to what happened that night.

Agreed. No way were they drunk. Saturday night. Young guys partying. No way was there alcohol involved.

 

GTFO!

 

This is EXACTLY what everyone expected the outcome to be.

Why did I get castrated for assuming Lester had been drinking after the NLCS celebration again?

Huh? What are you talking about? The next day we figured out that he had a fight with his girl and they went to a bar that night. You think he went to the bar and didn't drink? Come on man, we've seen stories like this happen before

[King]

There was a receipt for alcohol found in one of his friends pockets.

You presented it as fact without providing any evidence. Nobody would care if you suspected he was drunk.

[HERPDERP]

People keep forgetting the other two dudes that died.

 

Jose is now in the same territory as Taveras - scumbag territory

Still not enough proof.

 

 

Jk

I wouldn't call him a scumbag, since all of them were probably drinking and nobody forced the other guys to get on the boat with him. But he is definitely an idiot.

That's a pretty terrible conclusion based on a medical examiner's sense of smell as described by a journalist. I'm pretty sure there are dozens of stories that say he was extremely giving. Young and dumb doesn't mean scumbag.

[Nabru]

Was it ever confirmed who was driving the boat?

This is absolute drivel.

[FrozenRopes]

Anyone who I talked to thought alcohol or drugs were involved. Seemed like an obvious first thought.

[King]

They have the toxicology results and likely other information but it hasn't been released to the public yet.

In other words, Jose was driving the boat and he was wasted.

Or not...

[Krylian]

Regardless. It sounds like they were all likely drinking together... So all of them should've known that no one was in a good position to be driving.

 

Totally avoidable tragedy. What a shame.

[HERPDERP]

Or not...

 

I read elsewhere that one guy he just met and the other has no boating experience.

 

Plus, it's his boat.

Yeah scumbag isn't necessary here, lets relax a little bit. The guy was heavily involved in the ALS association among other charities, and gave back to many kids in the community by inviting them to hang out before every Sunday home game. He was one of the most generous players in the league.

 

The guy was young and emotional and made a mistake, but to call him a scumbag is a joke. Hell texting and driving is worse than what he did, but I'm sure you're not about to call your friends and family scumbags.

they made a mistake and paid for it with their lives - what more do you want? stupid, yes. tragic, yes. avoidable, sadly yes. doesn't make the guy a scumbag though.

[Spanky99]

My point is wait for the truth, even then, who cares... they're all dead from a tragic accident that was easily avoidable. We can't bring any of it back.

[BigCecil]

^ this. I don't even know why we are still talking about this regardless of what happened. It is what it is. Such a shame. RIP. The end.

Stop being an *******, we don't know who was driving and if the driver was drinking. Of course some of them were drinking, they were known to be at a bar. That doesn't mean we know the boat driver was drinking or that Jose was driving. For all we know they were being responsible and had the sober guy DDing the boat.
