It's my understanding from my sister, who lived in Mexico for awhile

That there is a small segment of a certain part of Mexico City that celebrates Cinco de Mayo. That’s about it, but the resorts along the ocean usually put on a good show for the tourists.

Hmmm...

Cinco de Mayo is a commemoration of the Mexican army’s miraculous defeat of the Napoleon the 3rd led French invasion of Mexico in the early 1860’s. As mentioned here, it is not really celebrated in Mexico, but it is a big for margarita sales on college campuses all over the States.

Now, I can’t wait to see Aroldis’ commercial for pepto commemorating the Bay of Pig’s invasion.

Tanzen!

People here use it as an excuse to get drunk, does that count?

Who cares if Cubans celebrate Cinco de Mayo?

Oh, this is interesting

Many teachers in this country ...

… in their yearning to be really with the scene on diversity, teach little kids about it, because it’s like … wow, Hispanic and all. So they say it’s Mexican Independence day or something … it counts as diversity study without really having to learn where Mexico actually IS.

Little kids don’t know any difference, so … vamos la playa or something.

"bath salts" are designer drugs

They are synthetic and therefore not technically illegal. They’re sold as “bath salts” at head shops, but everyone knows they aren’t really bath salts. It’s a game of whack a mole, as they make them illegal and they come out with new formulations that haven’t been banned yet.

But judging from his skin problems, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was into meth as well.

He speaks a more Spanish dialect, heard in S. America more than Mexico

The “S” at the end of the word is blunted … as in Arol-dee-th. Probably learned it in Andorra.

Cuban Spanish.

they just came out with a heyward one too.

Is anyone watching the Cards-Fish game?

Carpenter keeps screaming at HanRam about something. He’s screamed at him twice now after the inning is over. What’s he going to tell his son? He’s trying to get a brawl started.

by chazzilla on May 4, 2011 9:34 PM EDT reply actions  

Kinda watching, but missed that

He’s just a fucktard, is all. Still winless and getting shelled – his head should explode any second now.

Hanley threw his bat down after he popped up.

Carp was ragging on him and it looked like Hanley was confused by it all. Carp just kept it up.
The next time, Hanley carried his bat with him to first base on the comebacker. I wonder why.
What would Hanley tell his son about that?

I saw this up the thread

About Hanley: With the way he is performing right now, lets just say this continues and he bats around .200 by the deadline. Would we make a deal for him?

LTP is for Stubbs only!

by OGC Reds on May 5, 2011 12:11 AM EDT reply actions  

my guess is no

The Fish want to keep Hanley; they’ve made it clear that they want him to be the face of the franchise when they open their new stadium. They signed him to a 6-year, $70 million extension – probably too rich for Walt’s blood. They even signed his cousin for over $4 million, because he says he’s always dreamed of playing on the same team as his cousin, and they feared he would leave if they didn’t make it so.

He probably won’t still be batting .200 at the deadline. If he is, there’s a serious problem, and we should stay away.

His OPS last year was 100 points lower than in the previous three years. He was still a good hitter, especially for a SS, and it’s only one year, but combined with his struggles this year, it’s concerning, considering his injury history. If he’s really 27, his power should be peaking now, but it’s falling.

All I hear about Hanley is that he's just in a slump.

It’s more about frustration now. When he starts to hit again, all will be forgiven in Fishville.
He may have a wrist injury but if he does and isn’t saying, that’s not smart.

Votto 1B
Phillips 2B
Bruce RF
Gomes LF
Hanigan C
Janish 3B

Renteria pwns Brett Myers

20-for-43, .465, 2 HR according to Jamie Ramsey.

I’m surprised Cairo’s not in the lineup. 5-for-18, .278
