    My favorite part was listening to some fans complaining hysterically how unfair it was since many Venezuelan players were actually American citizens. Glad I missed the pro-military part; the giant-flag, camo-wearing chauvinism of American athletes (99% of whom had 'priorities other' than actually serving in the military) is pretty revolting, and I ignore it whenever possible.

    That Anthony guy, he just might be . . .

    Dunno, Might want to check the police blotter for backup catcher. That's worked in the past (when you don't have a superstar to trade for one.)

    Looks loike our own Abe Toro had an unfortunate night.

    That is absolutely not allowed on sports-boards. Only perfectly rational, well reasoned, grammatically correct statements are permissible, all with the proper use of the subjunctive, and acute awareness of the difference between 'disinterest' and 'lack of interest', and don't get me started on 'begging the question'.

    Nope. Because then I would give a sh*t, and all the peace I've achieved by not giving a sh*t would be gone.

    What I've learned to say/think on many occasions following retirement -- something that has brought me great and unexpected peace-- "It's only a number."

    Fortunately, it's just an exhibition, so it doesn't matter all that much. And it's given us great games in March. I'm sorta hoping the usOa loses on this unintelligible technicality, just because of the theatrical wrath it will generate on sports media.

    Meanwhile, looks like the usOFa got cheated out of a win last night by Italy, As Venus Williams said two days ago when provided water between sets that wasn't cold enough: "It's COMPLETELY unfair! I'm calling the referee!"

    I don't. I check the 'big number' then if 'the guy' ever calls with advice I just tell him 'whatever.' Since I'm not an accountant, it hardly pays to 'play' one. I have no idea what I'm invested in and wouldn't know a spreadsheet if it bit me in the a**.

    Not sure, Lemme just have my personal assistant pass on my account numbers for you. She speaks English (sort of).

    Y, Kanemaru! Get that guy to Boston!

    Yoshi with another hit today in a game that shouldn't have been competitive, but was. (Well, until the 8th when Czech fielding and Japanese hitting put it away).

    I'm not saying you need proof for a suspicion; you can believe or suspect whatever you want. I'm just saying in my opinion your belief is incorrect, and has no hard evidence backing it up. And finally, who cares? We rooted for Bonds, McGuire, Sosa, Clemens, Manny, Ortiz, even Pete Rose (well, that's a tough one!), bec. they were all great players--pretty much all we asked of them is to go easy on the police blotter and say nice things to children.

    I assure you, I don't have a lot of money and what I have in retirement is in the hands of a broker I've never met. I have never ONCE checked out any charges in my account in 30 years. Not once. He could have been spending my money on coke and hookers and I would never have known. Maybe you check your account activity on a daily basis. Most of us don't. Also, I understand completely that MLB has a stake in this and I woouldn't put a lot of stock in their findings. But you have to explain what stake the fed government would have in protecting a non-citizen from a scandal like this. I mean, it's not like he was in the Epstein files or ...

    Shore leave gets 'em every time.

    Federal authorities and MLB found NO evidence against Ohtani. All evidence pointed to his interpreter. If you are going to accuse him, you need to state why you have more facts than the feds and MLB and what those facts (unknown to federal investigators) are.

    And btw, contrary to what you say, log-in credentials to TalkSox do not work on that new thread.
  21. jad
    Wait--don't we already have enough 'game threads'? one for ST February, another for ST March. another for WBC ... why a separate one for US vs. whoever? (one that needs a separate log-in?)
  22. jad
    The only thing he's hit in the direction of second in the WBC have been long fly balls landing 400 feet away.
  23. jad
    Yeah, he was also playing through injury last year. I wonder too, given the FO notoriously bad communication skills, if there might have been some confusion about what his role would be. Pretty sure players with established track records (like Devers or Yoshida) do not like feeling that they're being treated like scrubs (not that they were, but rather that the FO could not convince them otherwise).
  24. jad
    Yoshi goes yard ... AGAIN.
  25. jad
    Allowing yourself to be picked off second, with two outs, bases loaded, 0-0, and Ohtani sitting on a 3-1 count?--that's as bad as it gets.
