Well said. Like it or not, Tebow fits on the team he’s playing for. Only time will tell if he can improve enough to move up to a double A ball. If he plateaus at his current level, he likely won’t make it more than 2 additional single A seasons.

He’s perfectly average on the team that he’s playing on. You can hate the media coverage, but that’s far from his fault. Blame deadspin and the like.

“and currently has a .231 average in SINGLE A.”

BoSox fan here. Been to my fair share of games at Fenway. For better or worse, I’ve hurled countless insults from the bleachers. But I never had a problem telling a racist sox fan to eat shit. I may have told Johnny Damon that he looked like the “missing link”, but there’s no place for racism.

One of the few on the list that put a smile on my face.

First of all, let me say I never condone a pitcher throwing at someone’s head. I’m okay with the suspension. However, the point that I’m making is that how Machado acted after he committed the interference is irrelevant WRT to whether or not retaliation was justified. You can look concerned all you want, you made a…

• Which protein can you make better than anybody else on this earth? Are you willing to share your technique? Assuming sous vide are out (that’s like cheating). A bone-in Ribeye. My secret is torching the bone with an actual propane torch. It delivers a more even cook.

You really went off the rails at the end there. WTF!

I like your final paragraph. It’s similar to what is inevitably going to happen in Iraqi Kurdistan. At some point a referendum will be passed for their independence. At that point the US (and all the other partner nations) will be free to focus on supporting the rest of Iraq. Where you draw the lines in Afghanistan is…

“All the translators, interpreters and tribal leaders know that the US will leave and the Taliban or whomever else will come down the mountains and exact vengeance.”

“Machado looked legitimately concerned when he caught Pedroia.”

Those donations could very well be helping children with special needs. Best Buddies operates programs at tons of private schools and universities.

Why are private or those other two schools not a good cause?

Your anecdote of experiencing racism in a foreign country as a visitor is irrelevant.

Casta, a system that hasn’t existed in generations, has nothing to do with self-identification. It was a means of trying to label populations based on their parent’s race, and subsequently tie that socio-economic status. It is by that very fact a diminishing discriminator. The gene pools have all been pissed in at…

Because many (not all) Latinos don’t like being labeled by their race. We don’t self-identify in that manner. We are Latinos. We can further be subdivided, but again it’s by region and culture. For example for me I’m a born and raised Costeño (the Atlantic coast of Colombia). Costeño culture was heavily defined by…

A few notes.

Fuck that! Batten down the hatches. Damage control conditions until they fix that BS.

What many don’t realize is that the Battleship also died because it couldn’t handle a modern torpedo. The torpedoes Battleships were designed to withstand actually struck the hole with the intent of blowing a hole in. To counter that they made bigger and bigger “torpedo belts” (armor around the hull. As soon as the…

lol. Your paltry attempts at insults are predictably unintelligent. Try harder, butkus.
