    What is with the camera men in Texas. Every time there is a fly ball the camera shows the OF stands and not the fielders like it is a home run.
  2. a700hitter
    Yeah, someone earlier in the thread said the story had been changed. An editor with some sense must have pulled the editorial comment.
  3. a700hitter
    Huh, who said that ESPN was upset? Yeah, I read the article. They reported it under a heading calling it a "racially insensitive comment" or something like that. I don't think the remark was newsworthy. It never should have been printed. And no one is denying someone the right to be upset. The point is that this was an insignificant remark made by an athlete in an attempt at humor, not malice. It was made in the context of complimenting the fans in those countries. If someone wants to be offended, they have every right to be thin-skinned and take offense. But let's have some perspective, this was not Charles Barkely saying "I hate white people." Rocket's remark should not have been published with ESPN's editorial heading. If they printed it at all, they should have let the comments stand on their own.

    Join the party!

    It was a lame joke, but for ESPN to enflame the situation by calling it a "racially insensitive remark" was irresponsible. It did not rise to a level of newsworthiness, whether or not some people were offended by it. I am offended by about 3/4 of cable broadcasts, but that doesn't make it a news story.

    They need Dotel in the Pen.

    If you don't see the difference, that's unfortunate. It's nowhere near a valid analogy

    So, in a discussion about the meaning of a statement by Clemens, and a debate whether or not it was offensive, you found the opportunity to bring up an offensive stereotype.
  9. a700hitter
    No, that is not what I am saying. There is a big difference between saying that most dry cleaners are owned and run by Asians as opposed to saying that all Asians work in Dry Cleaners. I don't know if there is data to back up the first statement, but if there is supporting data it would not be a racially insensitive remark. The second statement saying that all Asians work in dry cleaners is implausible and racist. I hope you see the difference. Clemen's statement was more along the lines of the first statement.

    The PC Police is out in force. Is n't Sushi part of the Japanese Cuisine? It is the norm for Japanese people to run Sushi places. It is the norm for Italians to run Italian restaurants and French run French restaurants. So, where is the insensitivity? Lighten up.
  11. a700hitter
    But he got two singles when it meant nothing.
  12. a700hitter
    Everyone is soo sensitive today. What if he said that he couldn't get any Sushi because all of the Japanese fans were at the games? Would that also be insensitve? or was it because the snobby bastards at ESPN look down on drycleaning as a blue collar job? Calling someone a drycleaner is not a put down. Wake up at ESPN!

    Another bomb given up by Moose. He's ahead of last year's pace.
  14. a700hitter
    They changed the scoring on Cano's boot of Scutaro's groundball. What a joke.
  15. a700hitter
    Moose is back to giving up the long ball, and Cano is back to butchering balls at second.
  16. a700hitter
    I like the way Wily Mo just flicked that ball over the rightfielders head.
  17. a700hitter
    One of them will go early in the season. They just stink.
  18. a700hitter
    Seanez gets out of it after loading the bases. He's a headache to watch. He never has a clean inning.
  19. a700hitter
    I can't watch Seanez. It's torturous.
  20. a700hitter
    Seanez picking up where he left off, too. He just has no command.
  21. a700hitter
    Now for Ortiz and Manny to do some damage.
  22. a700hitter
    Crisp is a catalyst, and fast as lightning.
  23. a700hitter
    ...and Giambi Whiffs too!
  24. a700hitter
    ARod is clutch as usual.
  25. a700hitter
    Riske gives up some bombs.
