He wasn't arrested for saying it. But stupidity has a cost, as he (and Don Imus, etc.) is finding out. I mean he was really, really dumb. You can't offend the market you live in like that. He has also said that win or lose, he gets drunk after every game. I don't think he will last the season in Miami. The guy is nuts.

Those Cuban emigres need to get a life are massively screwy.

Who knows though, maybe the Marlins liked it, after all, now they can suspend him while getting free publicity they would normally not be getting.

Agreed. They see everything as either pro or anti Castro. They should open a window and see there;s a whole world out there.

60 Blue Jay games to be televised by TVA this year. Rather ironic, in waning years of the Expos nobody wanted to pay for broadcasting rights.

Is the thirst for baseball coming back to Quebeckers?

How come you can't do things like this to your market? Its been done in Montreal and no one got suspended for f**king up things with fans... :couch

Not really. TVA needs content so...

Never left, IMO. People in Montreal love baseball. But we hate cheaters and frauds. So the MLB left and their top fraud artist got his stadium in Miami. Pretty happy now they are stuck with a mess in little Havana!

Loria wasn't the only problem with the Expos. The local Yokels (many of them pure woolies) were very much to blame too.

I love the way Canada's team voted for the contraction of the Spos.

For a time, Alarm Force ads on tsn990 ended with a quip about how it is a sponsor of the Blue Jays, as if there were added value on account of this in Quebec. Someone woke up and finally figured out at some point, that it was best to replace the latter line by a statement about how Alarm Force is a publicly-traded corporation. I would not be surprised that a lot of ex-Expo fans are still seething about the Jays' cavalier anti-Expos position.

Doubt it, in his last season, Vlad could hardly hit a ball out of the park.

Yet, even in a bad year Vlad put up similar OPS numbers to Edwin Encarnacion (Jays DH) last two seasons.

Saw him twice in Baltimore. Didn't had problem to throw it out of the park. But he's the baseball Hal Gill when comes to running on bases.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Vlad has been cleared of all charges. I for one would love to see him back in the big's and getting his 3000th hit.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Vlads legs are totally gone and he doesn't have the power numbers to play DH.
