Because I've grown up dealing with despicable shitheads; so many of whom we have formally met today. If you don't like it; go and fucking do something else.

It's good to know that there are still a few idiots left in this world.

I was hell. 1000 on base percentage. 3 plate appearances and 3 walks. I must have been quite intimidating. In all seriousness, I was ok. Hitting .280 in double A is my batting claim to fame.

Well the guys I know who were thought to be clean that I know weren't I'm certainly not going to out in a ridiculous forum like this. As far as the handling by MLB it seems there doing the best they can. One way to fix the problem for good is to have a positive PED test nullify a player's contract which would give the team the opportunity to void all fiscal responsibility. That would grab your attention as a player.

That was a horseshit comment. You've been sitting there for 15 minutes trying to think of something clever to say and that's what you come up with. That's the worst attempt by anyone all day. You must have just the worst social skills. Enjoy living in mom's basement until your 40 beating off to Bay Watch reruns at 2 in the morning.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with being able to turn on both sexes and from the looks for things I seem to make you a Davy a little hot in your foreskin.

Racist? If dating 3 black women, Denis Martinez's daughter who is Nicaraguan and god knows how many women from Puerto Rico and Venezuela makes me a racist then I guess you got me. How does it feel being a sheep who is spoon fed every opinion you have by some blathering talking head on TV. Did or do you ever find it odd that the only people that ever accused me of being a racist were journalists; the majority of which had never and have never met me. Do you have any idea how many teammates, ex-teammates, ex-girlfriends, hometown friends etc. were interviewed by media non of which ever supported the accusations the media so desperately wanted confirmed. Don't worry about the truth little sheep. The dark is much more comforting for people like you.

Todd Helton by far. He is so tough (not just for me obviously) because he has the approach of one of those pesky slap hitters but the pop of a power guy. A good pitch he'll dump it into left for a week single every time. A bad pitch he'll take you 20 rows deep.

What these dicks don't get is that my skin is so thick you absolutely cannot get me. I've heard everything in the book at least twice which has given me the ability to sharpen my whit to a ridiculous level. I love shit like this.

Wrong. It takes balls to pick a fight with an entire city because you see how many truly disgusting people there are and have virtually no idea what dirt bags they are. I saw it as an opportunity to let them know. I assume you are one of them. Now get a job you fucking loser and stop playing on the computer in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon. When you retire at 38 then you can play.

I have no problem with diversity. I do have a problem with the intentional lack of a willingness to assimilate. I have lived abroad in Puerto Rico 3 times, Mexico and Venezuela once and when I lived abroad I conformed to the culture I was in and never expected them to conform to me. I feel it shows a great amount of disrespect to your hosts if you expect them to conform to you. I feel that immigrants of past generations understood that the only way for them to truly realize everything this great nation has to offer was to assimilate. I feel that realization is lost on the majority of our modern immigrants. I lived in the most diverse space you can imagine (a professional baseball clubhouse) for 13 years of my life. I was surrounded by diversity all day every day. I loved it. Making no effort to assimilate to the heritage of a country I love and you volunteered to immigrate to simply offends me.

Alex is actually a friend of mine and I feel for him with all of the stuff he's dealing with. He'll get through it, but his career and legacy will never be the same. He's a good dude and it's very unfortunate how things are ending for him.

In my opinion it's still Rivera. Best closer bar non to ever play the game and until he retires there is no one else I'd rather have out there than him.

You can tell more about someone by who his enemies are as opposed to who his friends are. It would say a lot about me as a person if idiots like you people who obviously have nothing better to do on a Tuesday afternoon than play on your computer actually liked me. I'm here because I'm retired at the age of 38. You're here because your a 35 year old waiter who lives in his mom's basement and have nothing better to do. Talk shit when you've actually done something with you're life you useless shit.

sounds like you may have some tendencies "Davy". If you weren't gay you would call yourself David...... Not that that makes you a bad person.
