Do you know how much they got?

$5,000 for Ortiz and Clase each for the first pitch and $7,000 for the second one. $12k. Madness.

Let's let Fireblade back in, just take away his backroom access. We could use a bit of livenung up here.

What's surprising, at least from what has come out so far, is how little was in it for them.  I guess they thought it was easy money.

Evidence. You insulted me on several occasions and have lied repeatedly. Yet you're very generous in finding justifications for yourself in order to keep thinking you're in the superior category of poster you made up in your mind. All in all it's a little sad my dude.

I grant each and every person the right to respond to unprovoked insult with a corresponding insult, not just myself.

You accused me of lying once.  I entered into the arena of the dialectic and explained why in my mind I did not lie.  You exited  the arena, which, by the rules of the dialectic, is a concession. therefore,  I have not lied.

Clase seems like a... less than stellar human. He used PEDs, he was part of an "invest in my future contracts by giving me money now" scheme by some company, and now this. I wonder if he talked Ortiz into it as the easy money opportunity you mention. That, or criminal elements in the US or DR putting pressure on them/their families/their friends is always an option, too. It does make me wonder when it started and if the horrible performance by Clase in the 2024 playoffs was connected to it all.

You know what I would like? I'd like it if Facebook got held criminally and financially liable for fraud they help perpetrate.

Sounds like justification. Here's what I think: you're not as awesome as you think you are. You're not as rational, smart and logical. You're just another dipshit, like the rest of us.

Fascinating.  I'd love to hear how you came to those conclusions.

Generational warfare is just a distraction from the real issue, which is that the oligarchs have been waging class warfare and are winning.

The BBC in shambles?

It's bizzaro world stuff. The BBC getting in trouble for not being right wing enough.

But it makes political sense to just accept the orange baby's whines and change the management. Hopefully the new person is careful but shifts the bbc back towards the centre and actual balance.
