    Surprised the White Sox didn’t take issue with his antics and then plunk him his next time up.

    The bad news? Trump is a shoo-in for re-election in 2020.

    It already happened to me THIS year. I’ve gotten back close to $5000 every year for the last 15 years and this year I got back about $1500 and then my tax preparer told me to put more money into my retirement fund and have more money withheld or I was actually going to OWE money this year. How is that a tax cut?

    My wife was my manager when we started dating. We’ve been a couple for 26 years and married for 21 of them.

    I always read my kids these books and I never shied away from letting them know what the world is really like. When they were 8 years old I showed them a video of an Orca pulling a Seal off an ice float and eating it. Lots of great things happen kids, but there’s a thousand things everyday that will break your heart.

    The only difference between the 1970s and 80s when I was growing up and now is that we used to call each other fag, constantly, to each others faces and when someone said, “You shouldn’t use that word!” we would tell them, “Shut up, fag!” and they would leave you alone because there was only one of them and there was

    The only way to know if someone would have plainly caught the ball is if absolutely nothing happens to the ball between the time it leaves the bat until it settles in the outfielders glove. Since the guy reached over the fence and touched the ball and possibly distracted the outfielder momentarily there is no way to

    Exactly! He should have caught it barehanded, just like Willie Mays used to!

    A grown man...You mean like Gerardo Parra?

    Do people really pay attention to what athletes say anymore anyway? It’s the same canned answers all the time. Athletes are so image conscious now 99% of them have nothing entertaining or of substance to say anymore anyway.

    None of this is going to matter when they inevitably collapse in a flaming heap in the playoffs...again. 

    Apparently now it is proper etiquette to ignore the flag during the Star Spangled Banner and police what everyone else is doing. 

    This is sort of a bizarro world reversal of Nazism where people weren’t white enough, but now black people are too black to play black characters.

    I’m sorry, son, but the internet people do not believe in second chances.

    It is absurd to even suggest that the kid is automatically entitled to the ball just for being a kid. I have caught a batting practice ball and a foul ball and in neither instance did I turn the ball over to a kid. If I catch another one someday then I MIGHT give it to a kid since I have two baseballs now, but if I

    They are in a no win situation here. If they say “NO PROTESTS!” then the left will lose their minds and call for a boycott and they will lose fans...if they say, “PROTEST AWAY!” then the right will lose their minds and call for a boycott. There is really no way to handle this in the current insane, toxic environment th

    This was not “hops.” The wall is 8 feet high and he used his foot on the wall to push himself up in the air. It took some good timing, but he didn’t even need to get as high as he did. His arm is bent with his glove just above his head when he catches it. He misjudged it and made up for it with his athleticism.

    The fence in CF at Busch is only 8 feet high and that ball was going to barely carry over it. If he hadn’t misjudged it, he could have easily camped at the wall and caught it by just sticking his glove up above the fence. This was a case of his athleticism making up for misjudging the ball.

    This is really not a great defense of Hamilton’s athleticism. I’m a 6' tall white guy and I could dunk when I was in my early 20s. I am not that athletic and definitely not a freak.

    I’m fine with this happening to the Red Sox, but I would have loved it more had it not been the Blue Jays that successfully pulled it off, because I don’t like them either
