For AL supremacy: Cleveland at Texas for four 8/25-8/28

If he has no priors he will not be out long but he needs to have more sense than this. If it is a DWI that is. I saw where he has had 2 issues in the past with weed so if it is DUI then adios. If that happens does the player to be named later become someone of a much lower caliber?

That should be considered closely.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Think he's looking at a lifetime ban if he fails another drug test for marijuana? I could have heard that wrong on his interview the other day but I think that's correct. Bottom line is he needs to get his shit together or he's gonna find himself out of baseball again

Yes. One more positive and he's out.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Yes. One more positive and he's out.

Do the priors include what happened in the minors also or in this case players can get clean slate once reaching the majors? If so then ya we could be screwed.

Do teams have the right to do background checks before making trades?

Yes those are included.

It's kinda bullshit if you ask me. Steve Howe did more cocaine than Tony Montana and that fucker never got banned. 3 positive weed tests and you're out? Horseshit.

EDIT: apparently Howe did get banned but got reinstated.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Meh. I sported an avi of Ned Beatty getting buttfucked for a month at the hands of @Chewbaccer. Provided it won't get me banned, I really don't care what it is.

Also, isn't there some old saying about fuckin yer chickens before they lay eggs, or something? Chewbaccer can probably enlighten us on that as well . . .

I don't have much experience in chicken fuckin. I'm more into the Shetland pony side of things. I have one trained to back right up to me when I stand on a certain stump.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

For all those keeping score....We are now at a positive run differential.

You know what's surprising. With all the money these baseball players make (even the lower end salaries), why the heck are they driving themselves around? Even a league minimum type player could call an Uber car and get home ok.

You really don't know?

Jeffress must have drafted Romo and was drinking to forget.

Probably drinking when he drafted him too.

He probably didn't get Dak as his backup QB.

Fucking had to have been

 

[saddles]

We gave up a lot more than the Indians had to give for Lucroy just to have Jeffress added and that isn't including the PTBNL. That was a big mistake even before today's news.

Uber? Hell, league minimum is north of half a million dollars a year - they could splurge for a towncar, even.

There's really no excuse for this other than maybe they want to look cool in their cars.

That sounds rather alarmist.

Why do you hate Johnnie Baseball?

 

[saddles]

It sounds like I wish we would have made the trade for Lucroy and looked elsewhere for a reliever instead of giving up too much for Jeffress.

 

[saddles]

I don't hate him at all.

Funny, I got a buddy who has a goat, and if you walk him to the edge of a cliff he does the same shit
