Based on the reporting of the severity of Pompey's concussions, it's quite likely his career beyond now will be short.

On telecast they said tonight, presumably midnight. Decision after the game.

Yes, who cares about this year. But definitely need to create some excitement both among the players and the fans by an improvement next season.

Nailed it.

Are you guys rolling the dice or retooling for next year

Looks like Cano has truly fallen off a cliff

Glass houses, eh. You are always the first to throw stones, boxy boy.

You are so judgemental, Boxy. It's one of many character flaws.

Only way would be to trade one of your prospects for a pick back.

Jolly good, then. Have you changed your 50/50 odds on my being deaf?

You know Boxy, I'm not the only one to overcome obstacles. There are many other people that have done this. Your problem is you think, "oh he's deaf, he can't do this, can't do that." And you seem to extend this line of thinking to everything. Not everything fits within your narrow worldviews.

Well, the problem with stereotypes is they don't fit everyone. I was born profoundly deaf, at age 3 I started wearing a Phillips hearing aid and every shirt I owned had to have a front right pocket for it (behind the ear aids came several years later). I went to regular public school and of course could not understand a word the teacher said. In the early grades managed to get by, poorly, mainly by watching what the other kids do. After grade 4, with a bad report card, my mother said the school thinks you should go to Robarts (one of 3 Ontario schools for the deaf). I of course didn't want to leave my friends. But anyway, and probably out of fear, I improved in Grade 5. Became an A student. Never being able to understand what the teacher said, but there were textbooks. In many respects, I am self taught. High school same thing, A student. On the hockey, volleyball, and football teams. Also worked out in the weight room every other day, ran 10 km the day between. The girls liked me. Went to Western University for engineering, stayed to do a Master's degree. Could never understand with the professors said, but there were textbooks, overheads, etc. 27 years now as a professional engineer. I actually have an appointment on August 1 regarding cochlear implants. Your comment about not being able to strike up a conversation with a hottie in a bar is stupid beyond measure. Two people will always find a means to communicate if the desire is there. edit - just turned 54 edit2 - the sexcapades are all true edit3 - kid was born when i was 46, married the mom at 48. So had plenty of time to f*** around.

Tell me about your stereotypes of deaf people Boxy. What should I be like, what kind of experiences should I have? Do you really believe that all deaf people should fit within your stereotypes, based on the two deaf people you know? Hilarious.

You make a lot of assumptions there, buddy. My experience is crazy in the head = wild f***ing. No doubt there are psychological reasons for that, which simply validates what I posted. You don't have to take obsessive issue with everything I post.

That's how I am I guess. Problem? Three other posters agree with with what I wrote. The crazy ones are the best for f***ing.

Agreed, but f***, the crazy ones are the best f***s

for 5 of his last 6 starts, yes

Of course they are.

This is what was needed from Marcus. Next inning may be his last as a Jay.

Gurribabip!

Does it reinforce your faith in Shatkins?

Entering his prime. Also with a skill set not susceptible to rapid decline.

never said that.... and if i did it was with caveat(s)

Since he is unavailable to pick, backwoods camping with the guys.
