    I guess; but if there's nothing to it then why would the story going public effectively force them to say they want to question him? Why couldn't they say something like "we've investigated the matter and it's closed" or something along those lines?

    I'm pretty sure it was reported that he and Theo finally met around the time of the GM meetings in Milwaukee. Thanks, but that doesn't really help answer any of my questions. Just confirming that he was in town. Relax. Man, you say "thanks" and be polite and people still inexplicably think you're just pounding at the keyboard in a fury.

    And then he complains about people responding negatively. Seems like a blog would be a swell thing for him to look into.

    It's right up there with saying that a woman was "asking for it" based on how she was dressed/acting.

    Well, no, I specifically chose to say that he "skipped town and the country" to make it sound less like "the suspect has fled the country." Obviously that didn't work. To me "skipping town" sounds less serious. I didn't know he had come back; everything I had heard initially made it sound like he's been gone from the U.S. since shortly after this went down. I haven't really been following this since the news broke so that's my mistake. How long was he back for in November? Did the police know he was back? Did the Cubs advise him to speak to the police then? Seems odd that they wouldn't have tried to squash this then. Surely they didn't assume that they could keep this under wraps.

    That seems obvious, I'm not sure what there is for him to prove. Fine, if you want to start yet another semantics argument, it's what he has to disprove. He has to tell his side of the story and so far he's chosen not to to the proper authorities and has skipped both town and the country. Skipped town and the country? Was he aware of the allegations when he left in September? Has he been charged with something? He came back and people knew he was back but the police didn't question him then. I agree with what I think is your point: Castro needs to respond to any police questioning and, if truthful, provide his side of the story to exonerate himself. But your post suggests he's a fugitive or something. I never said he was a fugitive; I specifically said that he's a person of interest in an ongoing investigation. That's obviously very different than being charged as a suspect and making him a fugitive. My point should be obvious; Soul decided to declare this woman a gold-digger (and then use the Mel Gibson cop-out) seemingly based on nothing except for the fact this situation even exists when you can call Castro plenty of things based on his actions/inaction as well.

He has to tell his side of the story and so far he's chosen not to to the proper authorities and has skipped both town and the country. He flew home after the season, he's not Roman Polanski. This isn't a semantics argument. He doesn't have to prove anything. He hasn't even bee charged with anything. If he does get charged it may be in his best interests to attempt to "prove" his innocence but as of now I can't imagine what he could possibly prove. So you ARE running with the whole "he doesn't have to do anything" thing?

    Hahah, you're a funny guy! Wait, there's nothing for Castro to prove. Oh, joke fail. Well, it's an ongoing investigation and he's a person of interest, so, yeah, there is. Wait a minute. There's nothing for him to prove. How is there nothing for him to prove? If there was nothing he had to explain then he could just ignore this and nothing would come of it and we wouldn't even be at this point. Until he explains his side of the story and the police decide whether or not there's something there he most certainly has something to "prove."

"Innocent until proven guilty" doesn't mean you don't have to actually prove or provide convincing arguments that you're innocent, and so far Castro's only actions have been to seemingly flee the country and then not deal with this at all, yet your criticism stems from calling the woman a "gold-digger."

    Classy. Here, let's flip it; prove it, Rapey McRapeface.

    Hold on, I'm not too clear on how that works.

    His calling in life is to be the best Seinfeld fan possible. But man, can he wear a tie.

    If only Theo had been running a baseball team during the Josh Hamilton saga.

    Bradley, Soriano, Fukudome, Hawkins..etc.... you might remember them. I don't know whether the Cubs will be good or entertaining, but they appear to have a plan and I'm willing to give them time to see how it takes shape. Only one of those players received a "long, expensive contract." You seem to be conflating spending poorly or unwisely with giving out monster deals a la Soriano's contract. Soriano's contract was not par for the course for the Cubs under Hendry in terms of how much money/how many years the player got. And you're going to be disappointed if you think the Cubs not spending big now means they won't do it again in the future.

    TT's irrational and intense hatred of him, I think. It's really not all that irrational. I'd generally consider actually getting worked up over a mediocre player being used in a fairly reasonable manner to be just a smidge irrational. So you've seen TT acting out on this besides hyperbolic posting on a message board?
  22. Sammy Sofa
    The Cubs' didn't have a problem of singing too many FA to long, expensive contracts. And the team likely isn't going to be very good come mid-season. Building for the future is great, but let's not act like the next great or good Cubs team is even remotely close to constructed right now.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Well, it IS a story about love, deception, greed, lust and...unbridled enthusiasm.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I was going to say that I'd give WSR $5 if he spent one week limiting all of his posts to 3 sentences or less, but that Hamilton monstrosity is just 2.
