Lawrie dropped his appeal and will begin serving the four-game suspension tonight.

hopefully Giants, might make up for the mess we had in our house this am where water came through the ceiling from a leaking pipe from the shower in a unit above us.

Got this from the Expos forum. Please note Count, he is not mute it seems.

From Sportsnet:

Guerrero signed with the Blue Jays about a week after switching his agents. The Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks also expressed interest, but the chance to play for the Blue Jays and return to Canada, where he started what is likely a Hall of Fame career with the Montreal Expos, tipped the scales.

"I feel like this where I started, it’s not the same city, but it’s Canada, and I think going back there is like (being) renewed," said Guerrero. "I feel like I’m going to be very, very comfortable."

The impression he’s left at extended spring training isn’t from the flurry of jaw-dropping home runs he’s launched during batting practice alone. He’s spent time chatting with many of the young players at camp, setting an example for them to emulate.

So Xpire, how many interviews did he do in Montreal? How many marketing efforts did he make in Montreal? He NEVER promoted the game in Montreal and did NOTHING to try and keep the team in Montreal.

And that is why you hate him so. You're so full of shit. He did what he had to do with his bat...in many ways may I add.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Doing it on the field was not enough, he had to be the face of the team, help try and save it, he did NOTHING in that regard other than hammer a ton of chicks and knock them up.

When I was in SF, I could see why that team is flush with fans and cash as compared to the small market few fans Expos. People in SF love baseball, people in Montreal didn't.

And according to you, you had stopped loving the Expos even before Vlad came on the scene, and yet you go on and on about him. Why do you care. If anything you should be happy that his lack of Marketing savvy helped move the team where it is now loved and appreciated.

Which bat was that?


Guerrero is single, but has fathered four children by four different women.

Along the way, he's learned just enough English for short, simple conversations, usually accompanied by smiles and light-hearted shrugs. Ask how many children he has, he holds up six fingers, names each child, and explains they range in age from seven months to eight years. He shakes his head, no, he's never been married.

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

I just wonder how a guy could play in North America for 15 years or so and still pretty much be unable to speak English.

Obviously didn't need it to be successful at work, nor did he need it to get laid, make friends, dance and play video games.

What else is there to do in life?
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

True but even a moron like Kostitsyn learned some.

Then again, he probably has more than a grade 3 educ like {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{VLADDY}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
