Did you set out to write this in explicit support of the Puerto Rican team? They flamed themselves with those “burns,” as several comments point out.

*Moncada ain’t no scrub

I’m all about this kind of stuff, and I swear I’m not complaining. I’m just surprised you’re posting a news piece on the White Sox sending down some scrubs.

Thanks. I wasn’t aware of that.

I don’t disagree with you. It’s a fair response. I’m also taking into account the sheer number of ‘participants’ here, and how there are varying degrees of conduct. I’m very curious about how they arrived at certain decisions, and how said conduct warranted said decisions.

Oh, you were there? She’s full of shit you say?

So we’re talking 10 dudes during one event, and wildly varying degrees of culpability assessed upon appeal. What the hell happened here? And if we’ve got this kind of disparate result from a private entity, how the hell did the prosecutor at least not try to wing it on one or two? (Yes, it’s true, I did not attend law…

That argument works for almost any other sport. Not the NBA. It’s a league driven by a small group of superstars. There are three, maybe four teams that enter a new league year with the ability or expectation of contending for a title, making the pool of attractive games & events minimal. This was one of those…

Fuck them. They can do mental gymnastics all they like to explain why this is okay, and it’s not. Fans get shit on as it is, and we take it, mostly because being a fan of a team can’t be stripped from you any more than a college degree can. It’s who you are, and corporate sports exploits that weakness. They knew damn…

Nothing is really yours.

What are you even saying now? Just stop. It’s ridiculous.

Poor Phil. Has no fucking idea what my political leanings are.

I don’t kiss Tebow’s ass. I don’t have much to say about the man. But hey - you tell yourself whatever it is you need to in order to feel better.

Oh, it did? Thank you for pointing this out! Please never respond to me again. Thanks.

At least follow the string. I was replying to a comment where it was stated he was famous for no reason. And this is not 1992.

I actually feel bad for you.

I’m not a Tebow fanboy. And I don’t particularly care how you think I, or anyone, ‘looks’. I’m telling you things you obviously did not know - that he’s not replacing anyone of baseball value to the franchise, and that they had openings for their spring games. It’s tantamount to putting an obnoxious ad on the outfield…

I’m saying your suggestion that he’s depriving a player of a chance to make the majors is wrongheaded.

He’s playing on the major league side because the Mets loaned a huge number of players to the WBC, and the roster shortage necessitated a minor league player take the spot. All of the 40-man roster hopefuls and low-minors ‘prospects’ are already on the major league fields. He’s not hurting anyone. MLB teams tend to…

That’s the thing, he’s not taking away anyone’s shot at the majors.
