November 10, 201510 yr [ATTACH]520[/ATTACH] Damn this one killed mine. I was doing the bad photo shopping as a gimmick... now I'm gonna have to step up my game.
November 10, 201510 yr You guys really don't feel bad for his wife? She is a victim in this and we shouldn't be laughing. I feel bad for her, not him. I'll post pics and make fun of him all day, but I wouldn't make a joke of her.
November 10, 201510 yr no I wonder what the craziest act someone has ever done and still played in the league. Vick?
November 11, 201510 yr This doesn't sound much worse than what Miguel Cabrera allegedly did a few years ago and he's going to the Hall of Fame.
November 11, 201510 yr This doesn't sound much worse than what Miguel Cabrera allegedly did a few years ago and he's going to the Hall of Fame. It was pre PC-culture world though, things are different now. MLB has to be strict because hashtag activists will go wild if they aren't.
November 11, 201510 yr It was pre PC-culture world though, things are different now. MLB has to be strict because hashtag activists will go wild if they aren't. True. Good point.
November 11, 201510 yr Godzilla.jpeg We don't live in that kind of world anymore, bro. Don't make comments that would offend racial minorities, dude.
November 14, 201510 yr This doesn't sound much worse than what Miguel Cabrera allegedly did a few years ago and he's going to the Hall of Fame. forgot about that
November 14, 201510 yr It was pre PC-culture world though, things are different now. MLB has to be strict because hashtag activists will go wild if they aren't. not sure what PC has to do with Jose putting his wife in the hospital. MLB should be strict
November 14, 201510 yr not sure what PC has to do with Jose putting his wife in the hospital. MLB should be strict I am saying if MLB wasn't strict, there would be an uproar in response to penguino's comment about Miggy. I agree MLB should be strict, when did I say they shouldn't?
November 14, 201510 yr I am saying if MLB wasn't strict, there would be an uproar in response to penguino's comment about Miggy. I agree MLB should be strict, when did I say they shouldn't? i was confirming your comment that mlb has to be strict comment with my own opinion on the matter. considering the mess NFL is having with domestic violence and the seriousness of the subject (he put her in the hospital), really hope mlb comes down hard on jose (and i loved jose)
November 14, 201510 yr That would be ideal, but money trumps justice. I know the Rockies would love him to be suspended for at least 3 years.
November 15, 201510 yr That would be ideal, but money trumps justice. Why would that be ideal? He attacked another person and should receive some punishment for it. But for him to lose his career over it? The punishment has to fit the crime..
November 16, 201510 yr I don't think his career has anything to do with it at all. He should be punished yes but after that he's free to return to work. I think many of us forget that this is their jobs and in many ways is a lot like the rest of us. If we do something wrong legally and have to go to court, pay fines, pay tickets, etc etc we wouldn't lose our jobs (unless of course the crime had some direct connection to the job itself).
November 16, 201510 yr I know the Rockies would love him to be suspended for at least 3 years. Yeah I still don't know why they got him. Having to take the burden of another big contract isn't uncommon but it seemed stupid for the Rockies to do that in this case. I just get the feeling nobody in Colorado wants Reyes. Not the front office, not the fans, not even the players (outside of him being a likable teammate).
November 16, 201510 yr Yeah I still don't know why they got him. Having to take the burden of another big contract isn't uncommon but it seemed stupid for the Rockies to do that in this case. I just get the feeling nobody in Colorado wants Reyes. Not the front office, not the fans, not even the players (outside of him being a likable teammate). They had to take him to get the prospect haul they got. They have been trying to move him since the moment they knew they were acquiring him.
November 16, 201510 yr The prospect haul is understandable but from the first moment I thought there's not gonna be any other team who's gonna want him so he's basically become "the immovable object" in Colorado. I'm no major league GM but I don't think I'd have taken that burden for a team that can't necessarily deal with those financial constraints.
