JOE ON THE SCORE

[Sammy Sofa]

A fun little trivia game in the future is going to be guessing which number is his BAC or his MLB AVG

LOL. I'm obviously not saying his girlfriend is at fault...

 

Oh, cool!

 

but .287 is insanely drunk. She should have known better than to get into that car.

 

Oh.

That's the post you are choosing to be offended by out of all of those?

[Sammy Sofa]

The others were delightfully mocking a drunk murderer.

 

Victim-shaming, however, is always disappointing.

[sneakypower]

it's like in Vanilla Sky when Tom Cruise gets in the car with crazy Cameron Diaz and you start yelling at the screen, this isn't gonna end well...

 

spoiler alert btw

And it turns out the Cardinals were just a dream and we never even realized it.

That was your read on that. OK.

I'm just amused you toss out the caveat of "obviously I'm not saying his girlfriend is at fault" before immediately saying how you think the girlfriend is at fault for what happened to her.

 

Is there ever a situation where someone says "I'm not *BLANK*, but..." and it doesn't end ridiculously?

I'm not saying she's at fault. He's completely at fault for her death. What I am saying is, getting into a car with an obviously drunk person was probably an unwise decision. The two thoughts are not mutually exclusive.

That is easy to say when you aren't the girlfriend of a professional athlete that spends over half the year in a different country and you know is probably going to leave you for somebody but you really don't want him to leave you and are desperate to make him happy as a result.

She could have been completely hammered herself, too.

I don't understand. Are you saying the difficulty of her situation means it wasn't a poor decision?

[Sammy Sofa]

Ultimately it was a "poor decision" for her to date Taveras in the first place; you see how this is a pointless exercise, right?

 

Let's just go back to making fun of the dickbag driving the car.

Well I guess if we're going to play that game, let's blame the real culprit here, Taveras' mom, for giving birth to that monster in the first place.

 

STOP VICTIM SHAMING POOR OSCAR, HE DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN!

the real culprit was the mountain's mother

[Guest]

Aren't there places where you can get in trouble for drunkenly getting into a car with a drunk driver too?

 

I seem to remember this happening with a football player a few years back.

The important thing is we got to make someone feel bad for introducing nuance to the conversation.

Then you should have no problem explaining why.

[jersey cubs fan]

it's such an idiotic jump that there is no point in explaining why
