  1. Only going to get a lot worse
  2. And none of them say Bauer is guilty, you low bitch.
  3. Short to the ball is how most players succeed against today's pitches. But as posted earlier, Vladdy is resisting the advice of coaches. Seems to be a stubborn fella, probably the same reason for the ice water dumping continuing long after it became stale and stupid.
  4. The Everley Brothers were badass
  5. I was a defendant in a criminal case when I was 19 yrs old, yes. If you didn't get into shitloads of trouble as a kid, you haven't lived.
  6. BA has come out with its updated farm rankings. The Boston Red Sox are #5. Grant? edit - Jays are #25.
  7. I'm not so sure. There are a lot more moving parts in his swing then I remember. Is it his head, or mechanical. Probably both.
  8. connorp would not be interested
  9. Nah in this case it relates to control of water in the Ottawa River basin.
  10. I never said Bauer was guilty, you ass. If you think otherwise, show the receipts. Spanky tried and failed. With Franco I am taking the same approach I did for Bauer, let the process play out. All I am doing here is making commentary without making a verdict of guilt or innocence. I do find it interesting that the same ones that said Bauer was a victim of extortion and innocent are saying Franco is not being extorted and is guilty.
  11. Hmmm.... getting some very reasonable offers for Franco all of a sudden. Shows there is a fair bit of skepticism about the whole thing.
  12. This belongs in the Hall of Shame.
  13. Huh? When was this. Egregious.
  14. Send me an offer. If you include a regular MLB SS, that would be dandy.
  15. I know someone who was an ESL teacher in DR. The private school she worked at had armed guards around it at all times. The reason? The kids were targets for kidnapping and extortion.
  16. Good points. The other aspect is Dominican Republic is one of the poorest countries in the world, sharing an island with Haiti, which might be the worst / most desperate country in the world to live in. Everyone and their burro is hatching a scheme to get money from the rich ballplayers.
  17. I'm not going to accept the prospects you are planning to drop before the draft.
  18. Way to misrepresent what I posted. It is a fact that 20% of Dominican teenage girls get pregnant. In Canada/USA the rate is less than 3%. This is not being racist, but presenting facts. There are significant cultural differences here that may or may not merit consideration. Vlad Sr has 8 kids with 5 different mothers. Fact, not racism. We all know about Robbie Alomar.
  19. I dropped him the day he was convicted. Presumption of innocence y'all!
  20. jokes mate i went to DR several times, back then, take a few steps outside the resort and they would be all over you, probably different now
  21. Reality is, it is highly likely there are other Dominican ballplayers that have done the same. Roughly 20% of Dominican Republic teenager girls get pregnant. This is irrevelant to the law, though.
  22. It is true I am watching closely. At the same time, given my work (just finished a 180 page legal submission on a $2M construction claim on Tuesday), I can't help but point out speculative and vague assertions. These things are fact driven.
  23. Could you pls rephrase the bolded?
  24. You are extending an allegation of more than 1 encounter to a "a lot of time", was just wondering how you made that leap and how much time we are talking about here.
