Paging HAC...Paging HAC. OK, so he hasn't been charged with homicide. Can he be charged with anything a little more severe "theft and robbery as a juvenile"? Or is the lesser charge because he's still 17. Ughf***.Quote:

What is Fightin' Francoeur possessing?Quote:

He pulled the guy out of the car, so he could also be charged with assault. And while, like you, I'm not sure just how much discretion a prosecutor in Pennsylvania has to try minors as adults, it seems like this is a case where you'd want to do so if you could. An adult conviction for grand theft auto would normally carry a substantial prison term.Quote:

It might not even be criminal battery and only civil battery, depending on how the PA criminal code operates.Quote:

The Royals couldn't wait any longer -- first baseman Eric Hosmer will be in their lineup on Friday night.
They couldn't have waited another month?Quote:

I swear Sean Casey on Quick Pitch just said Eric Chavez gave Alex Rodriguez "some blows". The guy with him had to stifle a laugh.
The how can guys who spit on cops be charged with assaulting a police officer? Happened to a friend's brother once.Quote:

Even they charged that kid with assault, that's a pretty weak charge when all he did was pull him out of a car.
He's going up against Kyle Kendrick. He's got a good chance for a W.Quote:

Poor kid. It must suck for someone you love to die in 9/11.
To top it off the Mets won for him.
Wait, everyone involved with the Mets, isn't a horrible person who is going to rot in the utter bits of hell, who knew?Quote:

Watching Fullerton and Long Beach State in women's softball... Long Beach State's pitcher is pretty hot.
EDIT: Epic comeback in the 5th for Long Beach. Down five, they get back to back doubles, two singles, and a 3 run bomb to go up 6-5. The hot pitcher in line for the win.
Verlander has a perfecto thru 7.
Gallardo had a no-no into the 7th or 8th but lost it as well.Quote:

Fffffffffffffff-
Ha Liriano and now Verlander. Who's next?
If you want to throw a no-hitter against the Jays, make sure to start against them in the first week of May:
May 5, 1981: Len Barker (CLE) (perfect game)
June 29, 1990: Dave Stewart (OAK)
May 1, 1991: Nolan Ryan (TEX)
May 7, 2011: Justin Verlander (DET)
Ian Stewart might not ever be good.
Dear Jim Tracy,
Hello. How are you? I am well. Listen, I have a quick question for you. I know you want to hold on to Huston Street for the 10th...or 11th or whenever you think your team will give you the lead. But look, Felipe Paulino has given up two straight walk off hits. So I mean, maybe...just maybe you could go to Betancourt or Street instead of Paulino. Because, I mean, why not? Couldn't be worse. Maybe you lose the game in the 15th inning because you used Street in the 9th. But hey, at least you didn't let FELIPE MOTHER ****ING PAULINO give up his 3rd straight walk off hit. So my question to you is, why do you hate me? Why do you manage your bullpen so poorly that it rips my heart out every night, killing my hopes and dreams as I cry softly into my pillow as we drop yet another one run game to the ****ing San Fran-****ing-cisco Giants. Why Jim, Why?
Cheers.
