[Jason]

Even though he f'ed up, it's still a terrible tragedy for the families they left

Jose wasn't driving the boat, but you can go ahead and blame him if that makes you feel better. 

Or, he was.

Lou got Lou'd. 

[the dude abides]

So, does this mean Jose gets a statue at Marlins park?

Whoever is in line for Fernandez' inheritance, get ready to lawyer up.

The sharks be circling, and I'm not talking about the sea.

Now get two lawyers.  No, in fact get a whole team.

These young kids from poor countries just aren't ready for millions of dollars, especially in a city like Miami. Not an excuse, just an educated guess.

I think you can say the same thing about kids from poor areas who end up going pro or really any 18 to 20 something who suddenly comes into millions of dollars.  Considering all the stuff I did at that age I can't even begin to guess what would situations I may have gotten myself into had I become a millionaire over night.

He became an American citizen last year and was a patriotic young man. He loved his country and appreciated being here, unlike certain others who will remain unnamed.

 

He was a much better 'Murican than that other guy.

RIP, Patriot!

I think the idea that not becoming a citizen if you plan to stay here isn't a good thing.

You know, we can all argue on the message board back and forth, but when you slur Lou's good name like that, I take offense.

Holy crap this is terrible

from the article.

Fernandez was among three men who were found dead after a Coast Guard Patrol spotted an overturned boat off Miami Beach at 3:30 a.m. ET. The 32-foot boat the group was on had a “severe impact” with a jetty, Lorenzo Veloz of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told the Associated Press. There’s “no indication of alcohol or illegal drugs involved,” though the high rate of speed at which the boat was traveling factored into the crash, the Coast Guard said (via ESPN.com and Adam Kuperstein of NBC 6).

 

Is there anybody who actually read this last September and believed that a 3:00am boat crash in Miami featuring a millionaire young athlete didn't involve drugs or alcohol?

Anything is possible with Loria as the owner.

[Richard]

With Loria, it will be a very small statue.

Cocaine was involved? Guess he wasn't afraid of the toothless drug testing program instituted by the MLB.

Isn't blow the bane of any drug testing system as it is in and out and of the system as fast as well...actual In n Out?

[Amazing Larry]

That's what I understand. 

[Lou]

wel, damn. thatll teach me to listen to what the police have to say. then again I do have plenty of company . . .

 

"the driver was being irresponsible. He didn't know what he was doing out in the ocean, as evidenced by very simple boating rules"

No.  At least that's what the po po are saying.

 

" Also, he was a passenger in the boat"

 

"And then the dude driving doesn't even have the brains to avoid the jetty?"

 

sidenote: word has it that Joe West is responsible for all of this

Probably but Loria will end up trading it.

[Lou]

btw, two of those comments came from CaliAngel. 

[Ohtaniland]

Sad but he saved us all from seeing him play for the Yankees or Red Sox.

It appears the investigation has been concluded, and Lou was wrong the whole time. Hate to say I told you so.

you obviously don't know how the whole "I told-you-so" thing works. let me help you out: 

Step 1. You have to state that Fernandez was, in fact, driving the boat. (which, by your comments, you failed to do)

Step 2. 

oh wait, there is no Step 2.

I gotta be honest, I could go for seeing a whole Tiawanese animation of the boat flipping in the air when it hit the rocks.
