The more I think about it, I think Barrett deserves blame! Carlos went up to the clubhouse while MB was on the bench. Obviously, Barrett ended up following Z and a second fight ensued. That was unnecessary. MB has played horribly this year. Hell, his stupidity turned an already bad outing into a rout (coupled with some of the other dumb things he's done in recent games...) zambrano is the #1 pitcher and is playing like he should be in Iowa. I think his performance is hurting his team a lot more.

It really looks like it's all Carlos to me. Barrett stepped toward Zambrano, but he didn't really seem all that aggressive to me. It certainly didn't look like Michael was going to take a swing or anything. Z should be suspended and fined. Barrett charged at Z and then Z shoved Barrett. Lol Barret did not charge at Z. He might have stepped towards him but definatly didnt charge lol. he put his arms up and was getting ready to shove Z. it's not like you could really charge anyone in close quarters like that, but i would say barrett instigated it. Z deserves a good beating. the guy has the balls to blame his teammates? how many hits did he give up? man up and realize you suck at what you do, dont blame your catcher. hopefully he will be gone, and his psychotic breakdowns will be someone else's problems.

so they fought twice, one in the dughouse and once in the clubhouse. just trade zambrano, hes worthless in every way.

hahaha i love the look on barrett's face when it looked like he was saying "look at the scoreboard, your sucking"

it doesn't help that zambrano is a horrible pitcher. mature of him to blame his team.

the nba is such a joke.

pierre threw it while still on the ground for some reason. knowing his arm stregnth, it probably made it about 10 feet

is this the reason we recognize memorial day?

I totally agree. People work in hotter environments every day for $12 per hour as opposed to millions per year. There is still 24 hours between games whether you're playing days or nights. The real reason is probably that after the day games, they go out and party half the night. yup clearly, salary should come into play :roll: although the partying part is probably right on

From what I hear, the policy at Shannon's is that you are not allowed to be in there without a drink in hand. At least that is what my buddy the Anhauser-Busch rep told me. sounds like an awesome bar

because lord knows bringing frivilous lawsuits is such an ease way to become rich....no, wait, upon further review, it's a quick way to go bankrupt and get disbarred. Right...there is no such thing as ambulance chasing lawyers. I actually dispute that there are many, but that's not what I am talking about anyway. there's smarmy lawyers out there, as there are smarms in any profession, but from my experience there are alot more smarms in the insurance defense end of things as opposed to personal injury lawyers. you implied that there are lawyers out there that will bring lawsuits when there is not a case. that statement in and of itself says to me that you don't have any actual knowledge of the legal profession, but instead base your assessment on what you've heard in popular culture. the vast majority of personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis. in other words, they don't make a dime if they don't win. while the client is usually responsible for costs of the suit, most of those clients have injuries that impair their ability to earn a living and don't have the out of pocket money to cover these costs. so who puts up the money to pursue the case? their lawyer does. and if that lawyer loses, rare is the instance when they collect the costs of suit from their clients. so in summary, filing a frivolous lawsuit will generally lead to the lawyer paying out, and having nothing coming in. you do the math. what lawyers in Illinois must do when they file the lawsuits on behalf of their clients is sign a certification stating the case is has a legitimate basis in fact and law, in other words, they swear to the courts that the case is not frivolous. since most lawyers practice in limited venues, the judges and defense lawyers will get word when a lawyer is filing multiple frivolous claims. this will lead to their being reported to the bar for sanctions or disbarment. what also must be understood is the way the case law and statutes have changed over the years to favor defendants. it has become harder and harder over the past three decades for a plaintiff to get full recovery even when his case is sound. thus, insurance companies stopped settling "nuisance" lawsuits and claims long ago and fight just about every claim to the hilt. guys, their is no more truth to the alleged 'litigation crisis' as there is to 'Saddam Hussein was involved in 911.' it's PR, not truth, and if there is a shred of truth to this myth, it is more likely caused by those responsible for the myth, the insurance companies themselves. the dockets are absolutely clogged with cases where the insurance company has no legitimate defense (other than maybe whore doctors) but refuses to settle because they know these injured people will give up and get what they can get now simply because they have hungry children at home. Hey jjgman21, thanks for the informative and civil post. I know what you are saying and the point is well taken. To me though this, given the information that we have been provided with, still reeks of Hancock's family trying to cash out over his death. Sorry, that's just the way I feel. it is pretty sad how people in our society care so much about the almighty dollar. what pitiful lives some of these ppl must lead

if hancock wasn't drunk and the tow truck driver/driver was negligent, would you be ok with suing them? Perhaps, but I see no negligence in this circumstance. well, if a guy on the internet who read a couple articles about it doesn't see any negligence then why even have a trial? im sure abuck12345 is an experienced lawyer on the other hand, right? since you want to be a dick about it, i graduated from law school two weeks ago. you were clearly being a dick. get over yourself.

Perhaps because I think the drinker himself should be just as much and probably more accountable for his actions than the bartender. The drinker is more accountable. But he's not the only one accountable. hancock's dad should be held accountable for raising such a dumb and selfish person.

good to see his dad is a complete moron too. runs in the family.

i really hope the red wings lose tonight

couldnt care less about the nba now.

this officating is a joke. the nba is ran more like WWF than the MLB/NFL/NHL.

what does rasheed walalce have to do to get a technical foul?

not really. they shouldn't have won this game. they are overachieving just to make it close. sooner or later the spurs were gonna take over or at least make it very tense

hinrich is playing amazing today. he lloks liek a great nba pg

i think white leaders should complain about the lack of white players in the NFL, or anywhere else where the % of whites employed is below the % of whites in this country.

yeah everyone should be allowed to get drunk at their workplace cus they are clearly getting drunk in the clubhouse ALL the time :roll: the guy who killed himself on the cards got lit at the bar, not the clubhouse..how many mlb players lately have gotten DUIs driving home from the game?

hey lets just prohibit alcohol everywhere in the country because some guy killed himself through his own idiocy while we are at it.

so apparently he "overslept" a game earlier in the week, and got in a near accident when he was drunk earlier in the week? sounds like this guy had alcohol problems.
