I'll bet it was just supposed to be a 3 hour tour.

I've driven recklessly while drunk and also been in a car with someone else driving recklessly. Those things occurred some 35-40 years ago, so I guess that makes me a former shithead.

I'll still say Rest in Peace for these people, but I'll agree that the media commemorations get out of hand.

Yk thinks you should be dead. 

[Lou]

that proves there was an accident, which I already knew.  now where is the proof that it was reckless?

I'm serious. I'm asking because I never read anything from an official source stating this was a fact. thought perhaps you did.

[CaliAngel]

I can't believe you're that thick headed that it has to be broken down for you. You even said it yourself:

oh, a little info for you - drinking and getting behind the wheel of a car is the shear definition of reckless driving. 

 

But apparently for you, drinking and getting behind the wheel of a boat isn't?

Not to mention the boat was going full speed approaching the jetty.

If these 2 things aren't the very definition of being reckless, I don't know what is.

It's not fair to be so callous towards a young man who paid the ultimate price for his mistakes. Jose got into an argument with his girlfriend and was probably hoping his buddies could cheer him up. Maybe he trusted his friends too much?

hey, numbskull, if you read my original post, which I know you did because you were quoting from it, I stated the following:

I have no idea how reckless the other person was driving the boat. perhaps you can post a link so I can learn exactly how reckless they truly were. 

" I have no idea HOW reckless..."  The word "how" signifies a measurement/extent of the recklessness. 

I then asked for a link so I could read the info (and the source) on what has been officially determined.  I'm sorry, but: "not to mention the boat was going full speed approaching the jetty" posted on a baseball message board isn't an official determination. 

So once again, you get your panties in a wad and pop off for no reason. It's par for the course with you and everyone has grown accustomed to it. I mean, who can forget this gem? :

How much crapping the bed do you have to do as an umpire to NOT be able to call a World Series game if after all his sucking they still let stupid fat dogshit faced Joe West call a game? 

... followed by absolute silence when you were informed that, in fact, it wasn't West calling the game. 

So get your rest, wake up, shine your safety helmet and go sit on the curb and wait for the special work van to arrive so you can go greet the wonderful shoppers at Walmart.

just a little tidbit for you - I've never even taken one puff of a cigarette in my life. 

Not even a drag off one of Jamaal's Newports?

Blah blah blah more bologna vomit coming from Lou going into semantics to break down his words like he didn't say what he said. 

Drinking, getting behind a wheel, in Lou's own words, counts as "reckless." And that's what happened with this boating accident. And then Lou comes to task with people on the board after an article states EVERYONE ON THE BOAT had alcohol in their system like "How was this reckless?" Even after it's been mentioned time and time again that not only had everyone on board the boat been drinking, but whoever was driving the boat was speeding in the pitch black of night towards a jetty. Unreal. Doesn't sound reckless to me at all, nope, no way. 

The links with everything I've mentioned are in this thread. Click them. Read them. I'm not your babysitter, Lou. 

So Joe West wasn't behind the plate that game, god forbid I goofed. He still has an impact on the game with his idiotic umpiring no matter where he's at. My comment was more a testament that the asshat does not belong calling any plays in any game in MLB, most especially the World Series. I don't think there's a person on this board that disagrees with that. Nobody wants him there. 

Those are some top notch insults by the way. You must have come up with those on your own. Really, good quality material. You know how to cut deep mang.

Your reading comprehension is downright abysmal.  I knew you weren't very bright, but holy crap, this is just sad.

I usually ignore most of what CaliAngel posts then disregard everything else.

This is how reckless

That looks like the Enterprise

[fan_since79]

I've been very fortunate on several occasions to walk away from incidents unharmed.

one example: circa 1977, a friend was driving (both of us thoroughly drunk) and he took the right turn from Sunset onto Veteran at a high rate of speed in his Toyota Land Cruiser. We were on our way back to UCLA from a party in Bel Air. Flipped over and landed hard on the driver's side of the vehicle. LAPD showed up moments later and helped us out of the car. Not only very minor injuries, but no DUI and no ticket.

My guardian angel was busy that night.

Yk would have considered me a shithead. Yeah, during those years, probably.

 

[Blarg]

Lucky you weren't in a boat.

[yk9001]

On the internet, as long as one is super good athletically, or someone on a message board has done the same negative action, its all good!

[fan_since79]

I hit four home runs in a game once on Strato-O-Matic baseball. Does that count?

Internet or none, people in general love to deify assholes, rapists, and murders as long as that have athletic talent.

Shit, there's a statue of Ray Lewis in Baltimore, and that fucker murdered two people.

[CaliAngel]

It appears the investigation has been concluded, and Lou was wrong the whole time. Hate to say I told you so.

Investigation finds Jose Fernandez was operating boat in fatal crash:

http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/18921310/investigation-finds-jose-fernandez-was-operating-boat-fatal-crash

" Fernandez violated multiple boating laws, including Boating Under the Influence Manslaughter, Vessel Homicide and Reckless or Careless Operation of a Vessel."

Driving full speed with a blood Alcohol level of .147 and a noted presence of cocaine. Nope, not reckless at all.

[Schildog]

i for one am shocked

[Second Base]

Cocaine was involved? Guess he wasn't afraid of the toothless drug testing program instituted by the MLB.

I guess 5 hour energy wasn't enough.

[WeatherWonk]

These young kids from poor countries just aren't ready for millions of dollars, especially in a city like Miami. Not an excuse, just an educated guess.
