Youk Of The Nation

Apparently he was shot by two guys hired by a drug lord who thought Ortiz was having an affair with his wife. But who knows.....

May have been sanctioned by Drug Lord.

People have a lot of different opinions about journalism, but as someone with a deep interest in the history and current events of the field, let me tell you that the guy screaming on the street corner has a better chance of getting at the truth than the NY Post or the Daily Mail. The Daily Mail is basically the Enquirer of the UK. The number of stories of theirs that have been completely debunked and never retracted is staggering. The Post is a little better but not by much. Until a few outlets that aren't these two start reporting this I'm gonna take it with a huge grain of salt.

This video makes it look like an execution attempt. The dude who shot Ortiz got the absolutely s*** beaten out of him, and there is some graphic videos all over twitter. Dude got what he deserved. What a piece of s***.

 

Shooting Big Papi in the DR is basically like what would have happened if you had shot Mr. Rogers here in the USA. No one is helping you escape that s***, you'll be lucky if the police drag you out of the mob while you're still alive.

Probably not a robbery, but given the number of stories coming out of the DR about wealthy athletes being robbed, I'm willing to consider that this might have been an acquaintance or hanger-on who asked Ortiz for money and was turned down. Not that it matters, at this point. All I care about is Ortiz pulling through. This is a bizarre situation and even though this has happened before with MLB players in the DR It's still unbelievable.

Eduardo Nunez, human water bucket.

All I seem to recall is that it was a 20K complete game for Clemens (not exactly your question). And didn't Bill Monbouquette (sp?) have a 20K game early in the 60s?

 

Monbouquette had the Sox record before Clemens broke it, but I think it was only 17. He had a no-hitter in the 60s though.

If wins were calculated by who earned them they'd be giving out the Chris Sale award every f***ing year.

I'm too lazy to check, how many outs were left in the other 4 20-K games when the pitcher had 17 Ks? I know it was Wood, Scherzer, and Clemens twice, but I don't remember the exact sequence of any of them.

Mitch Mortizland. He's really stepping up this year.

Wouldn't it be too boring to marry another CPA though?

 

 

Yes, the two CPAs together would create an inescapable blah hole.

I listened to the third and fourth innings on the way home from a used bookstore that's about 40 minutes away. Usually when I make that drive during a game I can get through four or five whole innings before I get home.

Women don't pay me any attention... Should I (or you guys) be concerned?

 

No, that seems right.

I just talked to Yeszir and he made it so unapproved members can no longer send PM's, at the very least this should slow him down and/or frustrate him. Just make sure you guys keep letting us know if you get any weird messages. These idiots have been apparently making accounts for years and plotting this stupidity.

 

Apparently there are two categories of unapproved users, those awaiting moderation and those awaiting E-Mail confirmation. I changed the second one as well, I'm not sure of the difference but better safe than sorry I guess?

I finally figured out how to use the admin CP to ban unapproved users from sending PMs. This should stop now.

I'm not going to approve any new users for a couple weeks. Unfortunately users awaiting confirmation can still send PMs. If you receive a PM from a user you don't recognize, don't open it. Just let me or JB know and we can ban the user.

That’s was annoying

 

At least he sent stuff to the Yankees fans as well. Every cloud has a silver lining, right?!

f***ing people I swear. The E-mail and username didn't seem to raise any red flags, sorry guys. Unfortunately unless the IP is a proxy it's hard to know this'll happen until it does.

Mitch Moreland really wants JD's parking space.

Ottaviohno!

Avril Lavigne just released a new album in February, a fact that I definitely had to look up on Google and didn't know off the top of my head because I downloaded it immediately.

This wasn't Pike, assuming Pike is a former BDC person. This guy has been spamming the site with accusations about another poster for years before BDC people started coming here. He creates accounts and posts for months, sometimes a year, completely normally and then suddenly goes off. It's very bizarre.

This is very frustrating.

Here we have a special treat for our viewers. A live YesZir in its natural habitat. They do not often appear in the presence of humans and sightings are rare, scattered over many years. The existence of the YesZir is considered apocryphal among many in the zoological community due to the scarcity of encounters....Ah! That sound you hear is one that only a few scientists and explorers have heard in the last half-century- the territorial call of the YesZir, which, at full volume, appears to say "you guys suuuuck everyone just stop".

Anybody know what happened to our celebrated starting pitching,

 

Maybe we should wait for them all to have, you know, a SECOND START before we start declaring them MIA.

 

I also think it might be time for Thunder GT mojo, which worked very well for us last season.

Can someone please tell me what Thunder said about this? I have him on ignore.

To be fair, NS's signature isn't a insult, it's a quote of something the user themselves said that made them look dumb. That being said, I normally wouldn't care but I do think it's a little bit unfair of you to publicly call out other people on their signatures while sporting a public shaming in your own, man.
