So many athletes waste their money or entrust it to someone who wastes it that nothing is guaranteed. J R Richard wound up living under a bridge.
They deserve it then. Ignorance is no excuse.

There have been more than one occasion where a trusted, and long term financial advisor has defrauded their clients, and this falls into a different category from ignorance.

I know where you're coming from. If they, the athlete, is out there buying 6 $100,000 cars, and $4,000,000 houses and such, then so be it.

ALI and TYSON good examples. If ya keep losing over the years it may be time to ask why. No cure for ignorance day in and day out.

Fans can find the game at www.facebook.com/MLBLiveGames or search for MLB Live on their mobile phone Facebook app. It will not be broadcast on Fox Sports Southwest or any other television outlet.
Got it. Set the reminder and ready to go. Probably not much action here today but I will tune in.

I don't want to belabor this topic. But if you have a financial advisor, which I'm betting you did/have over the years, you trusted them and therefore you never checked on them. If they're in the business of defrauding you, they don't send you statements stating such. They send you bogus info showing how well you're doing.

Did you ever have someone check up on the the guy handling your business? I certainly haven't. To me that would be like having your vehicle worked on at a shop you trust, then taking it somewhere else to make sure the work was done properly.

I have an account with Edward Jones right now, and I've never thought about having someone else check on them.

OK.....sorry......I think I've officially belabored the point. ha ha

Did not know that Saddles. That guy was a phenomenal pitcher from 1975-80 when his career suddenly ended. I looked him up and he made the All Star game in 1980 then had a stroke before one of the games that same year. He tried to come back but couldn't because of the stroke. He had two divorces and an oil business scam that cost him $300,000. He had to pay his first wife $669,000. He was homeless but got help from a minister and got his life back together.

I'm shocked, and I'm not kidding. Did you/y'all think his preferred position was 3rd? I did. Boy, did I miss on this one.

After reading this, if I'm the Rangers, I'm putting someone on 3rd not named Gallo and leaving the big boy in LF. I'm sure the team is aware, so this wasn't breaking news to them. But IKF can handle 3rd and we've called up Alberto.

If we want Gallo to develop as a hitter, then quit yanking him around to positions you know he won't be playing shortly.

I've defended Bannister on many an occasion, but this isn't one of them. In fact, quite the opposite.

"We've got to think about what's best for the team with the personal we have to put us in the best defense, best players, best lineup we have out there," Banister said.

Wrong Jeff. 2018 IS NOT ABOUT WINNING GAMES for crying out loud.

My vote is for IKF

He's gotta say that to the media.

I know it's pissing everyone off but I'm getting to watch them at work and it's terrific.

I'm surprised at his level of disdain for it, but you could tell a couple years ago that he hadn't put a lot of effort in being a good 3rd baseman, he just was really awkward with a strong arm, he got better but I just never saw him sticking there

Same, I hate that its blacked out and thats stupid, but I could get on board with day games on Facebook, provided people who are able can watch it on TV, it shouldn't be 100% of one and 0% of the other
