Nothing, but soon to be 54 year old Rafael Palmeiro is hitting .301/.424/.495 in 125 PA's.

Rafael Palmeiro is a former teammate of Alex Rodriguez.  

Alex Rodriguez is an analyst for Fox Sports, owned by 21st Century Fox.

21st Century Fox is going to have most of their assets bought by Disney.

The face of Disney is Mickey Mouse.

Mickey Mouse was created in 1929, the year the stock market crashed.

Conclusion?

9/11 was an inside job by Mickey

Good luck convincing a guy with 26,000+ reactionary posts of that, Roy. 

I keep hoping for something original, fresh from him. Not happening.

This smokescreen strategy is interesting, though........in a juvenile way.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new HR leader in MLB! His name is Khris Davis. #39 against the Twins.

A's lead, 2-0.

Test him.

This will be his third straight 40 HR season. He's actually been hitting a HR about every 14-16 AB for four years straight years. I would think they would have been testing him before now. At this point, he is no fluke.

But he is more selective, the last two years. BB are considerably up. OBP around .340 now. He's been hit 11 times this year, too.

Still not a free agent until 2020. That means he may be on the block next year, if the A's arent contending. It's the A's way.

Another player forced to "apologize" for tweets he made as a 17 year old.

Murphy paying immediate dividends for the Cubs. Go ahead HR in the eighth. Also a single. His Wrigley BA hasnt been hurt yet. 2-1 Cubs, to the ninth. 

The rest of the Cubs are still in a funk, though.

[Homebrewer]

Murphy hits his first Cub HR (solo) to break up a 1-1 tie in the 8th..

[WeatherWonk]

And Suarez answers immediately. 2-2.

[Homebrewer]

BOTE another walk off hr.

Too bad the halos cant find a 3B.

[WeatherWonk]

Another Bote walk off HR.

Cubs win!!!

You didn't say anything like that?  You never used the term "gay" in a derogatory manner?

Do you believe that what someone says while still a minor should be held over them for their entire lives?

I'm not sure. I do know that I was never so foolish as to post offensive stuff on social media, and then leave it there years later.

They definitely shouldn't be held accountable their whole lives, but it's not like he's going to pay for this the rest of his career. He publicly apologized. In less than a week, no one will remember it anymore.

Is it morally better to do it when among your friends than it is to do it online?

Sure he's dumb to leave it have it open to the public, but those "offended" by it go about like  they've never said what MT mentioned above.  If they haven't, then good for them, I will buy them a cookie.
