He seems like the kind of guy that definitely has a yo-yo on him.

Yea and probably some Magic the Gathering cards

Baldelli is just a brutal manager

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Please fire Baldelli and Falvey and Levine

Fuck this season

 

[broncosmitty]

Here is a little known fact, he met Kate at the Jake

No shit?


She a member of Grady's Ladies at the time?

 

[broncosmitty]

You made it sound like Rodman was a flamboyant attention getter while in Detroit. I thought all of his look at me! nonsense satrted after he was no longer a Piston.

But there's no doubt there's something wrong w/ Puig. After Bauer's mound antics I can't say I'm disapponted to see him gone. And it seems like he had issues w/ teammates as well.

Wesley Snipes bleached his hair for Demolition Man and erything got crazy after that.

 

[broncosmitty]

Is Rodman that good of an example? You know the Pistons better than I do but I thought he was quiet & shy when he was in the Motor City. Might be wrong on that though. I thought all of his antics started when he got to SA?

Chuck Daly was a father figure for Worm.

He left for New Jersey and Dennis went astray. Almost killed himself in the Palace parking lot even.

Um, noooo I was dating her and took her to the game

I honestly question why wasn't that your first assumption?

I remember when that happened. He was sitting in his truck and the police found him right?

Did they get Marty Cordova?

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Danny Salazar back on the DL. Give me a break

White Sox Release Alcides Escobar

By Jeff Todd | August 2, 2019 at 4:46pm CDT

4:46pm: Escobar made a doozy of a statement on the matter on Twitter, writing: “I asked for my freedom they did not let me free and I did it because they lied to me they are not honest.”

@ChiSoxFan When you told me the Whitesox had one of the best English immersion programs in the majors I scoffed. Guess the joke's on me

I had to let him go.

He’s on an absolute rampage.

Homered last night and hit two doubles off the top of the big wall. Coulda been a 3 homer game there too.

Twice in 10 days, when we'd only had one player in franchise history hit 3 HR's in a game twice in their career before...and that was Rosario, who had his second one earlier this season.

We're probably going to break our franchise record for home runs in a season THIS WEEK?! We aren't even a full week into August yet. We're at 216, and the franchise record is 225.

holy fuck Nelson Cruz. 2nd 3 HR game in about a week

He's been incredible. Not only is he playing very well, but he's also the unquestioned leader in the clubhouse. He's easily the biggest difference between this year and the mess that was last year, both with his bat and with his experience.

Both in Cleveland
