So very sorry for your loss.

I personally think that trade is an A. Bandy, in his 2 years in Mil. has a combined -1.0 WAR. Maldonado had a total of +2.1 WAR for the Angels. Sure, they have Bandy for a few more years, but at this point he is hurting them, not helping.

I appreciate Jeff's posts here, his tweets and his articles. Thanks you. I also appreciate Maria's tweets. Maybe he can get her to join here. :-)

Maybe he's out of options and this is going to be a short trip in the majors until Kinsler is back next week.

While I am not disagreeing with anything said here, I was happy to see he still has his velocity. I am hoping he can become the pitcher he can be.

You know he is Korean American, right?

Yeah, supposedly it was Charles. I didn't see the thread that he did it on, but I guess it caught the eye of a moderator and MLB shut it down. Charles was pretty crazy, probably a little mentally challenged.

Ouch.

I am not sure the point you are making here. You are saying the owners don't want the players to kneel, but the fact is the owners control the players, so they can fire them. Yet none have. So who are you pointing the finger at? I mean, if they really didn't want them to do it, they could fire them. Also, when you make a statement like you don't want your Verizon guy giving a 30 sec speech on whatever, that's not the same. These players aren't taking any of your time away. Seriously, did you used to watch the NFL to see all of the players standing proudly for the National Anthem? Which, I believe they have only been doing for less than 10 years, so.... WTF does it matter?

I loved the last 2 games.

You mean the people who constantly fact check him and prove he is wrong? Those ignorant people? Or the ignorant people, sorry, sheeple, that listen to Hannity and Limbaugh and recite their words like a bible?

You are a fucking idiot! Seriously, that group was full of fucking Nazis. You fucking idiots keep going on about how the players that take a knee are disrespecting our troops, yet you seem to forget what our troops did to rid the world of Nazis and what Nazis stand for. I seriously find it hard to believe that you dated a black girl with your twisted pro white supremacy view. The people that showed up against the Nazis that day, I applaud every one of them. If that "old" lady was walking with the Nazis, then no, I really don't give a shit that she was dragged. Is that who you want holding the flag, a fucking nazi supporter? BTW, the group she was with was flying this flag:

You are an idiot.

You don't believe there is racism from whites towards blacks in this country? Seriously?

So your point is that if there is no better place for black people to go, they just need to man up and accept the racism because they don't have any better options?

How are those "your" anything? Seriously, do you hear yourself? Those people are free to do whatever they like as long as it doesn't effect me? You kind of sound like an asshole. Those aren't "your" movies or "your" tv shows or "your" games. They are what they are and the people who make them are who they are, so if you don't like it, don't fucking watch it. There is no middle ground here, the people choosing to protest have EVERY right to do it. If you don't like it, take it up with the constitution or don't watch. You know, just the same as the Nazi's a few weeks ago had every right and were "good people."

I have no idea what you see in Thaiss to believe he will even be as "good" as Cron.

I get it, I just thought is sounded harsh. No big deal. But I do actually disagree with him being fired as Seattle's GM. I am more than happy with him staying there and messing that team up :-)

Well, the reason I said that is because he said he hoped Dipoto got AIDS. He has since changed it. Yeah, Dipoto is a terrible GM, but I just that wishing AIDS on someone was pretty jacked up.

Seriously???

Don't you think having to use 12 pitchers yesterday might have changed that plan???

7-2 3.52 era says differently.
