I still don't understand how magazines like Hustler/Maxim are in business. Let alone, strip clubs. I mean, you can get better s*** than clothed woman in magazines with naked women for free on the interwebz.

Yeah read my 2nd post, I made that realization after a bit more research.

I know when people see the word 'wiretapping' they automatically think of The Wire and all the police mumbo jumbo, but it's all encompassing. http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/california-recording-law

OK researched it a bit more.. Freedom of speech is not an issue here, since that only applies when dealing with the government. It absolutely does not apply to private corporations. So Sterling is in the clear there. However, assuming Sterling did not consent to being interviewed, then the recorder is operating against California's wiretapping laws. And not only are they commiting a criminal act, but they are opening themselves up to a civil lawsuit to recovery any related damages. Furthermore, I'm sure it's reasonable that any owner of a franchise in any sports has in the contracts something close to a morality clause. If the clause is violated, I'm sure there are repercussions, financial or otherwise. So TLDR, Sterling is not entitled to freedom of speech, nor does he have a defense against the NBA. He does however, have the opportunity to pursue damages against those who recorded the private conversation, assuming he did not consent.

Thank goodness Mark Cuban seems like a nice guy. That guy is the most outspoken, passionate owner in sports and I bet this makes him queezy and to be very careful what comes out of his mouth. This sets a precedent not only for the NBA but for all 4 major sports.

I'll play devil's advocate here. While I do not agree with Sterling's remarks, I most certainly agree that it was expected that his own personal opinions were made in private and should remain as such. I don't have the exact word on it, but we see similar situations in courts regarding proof of crimes. The prosecution may have the smoking gun that will incriminate the accused, but the way this information was acquired was illegally obtained, and as such cannot be used in court. Or in an easier example, having the smoking gun acquired without a permit when one should have been requested and presented lawfully. Of course, legal/illegal isn't straight cut in the NBA example, but I think it has to do more with freedom of speech and expectation of privacy. Or maybe it crosses the hate crime line? I don't know, I don't study these topics.

You shouldn't and don't get suspended for shouting and instigating a fight with just shouting. If he threw a punch, sure, but he just strongly voiced his displeasure. Then again, if he said "tu es maricon" then...

Yes, I derped

I guess the Shields-Myers trade is a good place to start, although that was a terrible overpay by the Royals to begin with.

Reminds me of that pitching coach that many years ago said that he could fix Victor Zambrano in 10 minutes, and the organization that time (Rays) traded away Kazmir for Zambrano. That turned out well..

"Barry Davis @SNBarryDavis 26m Just spoke to Bautista regarding his base running gaffe last night. Says no regrets for doing it, only for getting caught. #bluejays" are u dumn?

Probably insurance for the upcoming schedule shitstorm next month. Then again, we have way too many AAAA starters (Happ, Romero, Jenkins, Rogers, Redmond)

Brett Lawrie looks great at the plate
HERPDERP replied to reedjohnsonfan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Funny enough, his swing isn't the worst on the team. Goins' waggle is just utter s*** and extremely late in his load. It's not a coincidence both are terrible this year. -
Other possibilities: -Bad mechanics -increased reliance on bigger velocity and breaking pitches, especially the slider

Ever wonder what happens when you put a baseball under 100,000 lb of pressure? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzqaztKb35w&feature=youtu.be

I wonder if increasing the rotation to 6 pitchers would be beneficial to reducing pitching injuries. But that's something that you can't necessarily enforce. MLB could increase the roster to 26 players but I bet everyone would pull a Gibbers and go with a 9-man bullpen.
-
It's worth repeating that Tommy John is not a doctor and the surgery is not named after the doctor. It's named after the first successful pitcher to be operated on. His opinion is as worthless/meaningful from everyone and anyone from Brian Tallet to Steve Trachsel to Graeme Lloyd.

Partial name is 'Cap', figure out the rest! In other news, Matt Harvey tweeted this out earlier http://i.imgur.com/P0IEKB3.png Mets got pissed off and told him to take it down. Matt Harvey then deleted his twitter account. Bunch of hardasses I tell ya.

Chris Davis, Miguel Cabrera and E5 are all big 2013 sluggers in 2013 that are struggling so far this year. Wonder who will be the first to break out.
