Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

I like rooting for the Marlins. Always an underdog team and I have a boner for Hanley Rameriz. Sadly he wont be a Marlin for much longer
NL- I am a Reds fan. AL- I go with the Indians
Havent had anything to root for with the Indians, but the Reds are looking very promising. Not only last year, but they have such a corp of young talent that they could/should be a force for years to come. They have the old GM from the St. Louis Cardinals, the guy knows how to build teams.

Yes, being AT the game. Dbacks games are fun, especially when they are hosting a good team
I wish there were actually some decent sports teams here. I mean we got the Suns but I havent lived here long enough to really give a shit about them. Then the rest of teams all pretty much suck

Yeah but I don't think they actually let you smoke at the games.
I could never understand why they decided to abbreviate Diamondbacks as D-Backs, sounds too much like D-Bag to me.

Probably because Dbacks was easier to fit on our teams jerseys. That's my only guess. I agree its stupid.
Like when the Tampa Bay Devil Rays became just the Rays.

I think that had something to do with people having a problem with the "Devil" part of it. Not sure though. What I am sure of however is that the Phillies have the best pitching staff in all of baseball

He's just pointing out that another professional franchise kept the "Devil" part of their name. I dont know WHY the Rays changed but I like their new uniforms better anyways
In related Rays news. I just read today that both Johnny Damon and Manny Rameriz. Too bad they lost Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena, and a bunch of pitchers. Soriano to the Yanks. Garza to the Cubbies. All moves made in the name of salary cap.
That's my only beef with baseball, no salary cap.

What about Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez? I like Johnny Damon, he's gettin a little old, but he can still hit. Fuck Manny Ramirez.

DUDE, YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT. PLEASE DON'T BAN ME FROM THE SPORTS FORUM GEO 
But seriously, Manny is not playing for love of the game. He's just there to scrape up his last few million before he retires. Fuck that motherfucker. Somebody who plays for love of the game is somebody like Andy Pettite. I hate the Yankees, but I do have respect for him.

I am not full of shit. I read the article with him and Johnny Damon. The article was about how they have wanted to be teammates again ever since they both left Boston.
Manny certainly could have gotten more money to play other places. The guy made 20 million last year.
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6080160
"I'm here, like I said, because I love the game, I love to compete. It doesn't matter how much money you make," the .313 career hitter said. "If you love the game, it doesn't matter. What you want is a chance to prove to people that you still can do it. So for me, it was not about the money, I could have gone someplace else."- Manny Rameriz
What's your beef with Manny? He is one of the most likable players in the league.

Eh, I don't believe him. I just don't think any team was gonna pay him more than that. He's nowhere near the player he used to be. And yes, he USED to be one of the most likable players in the league.

What are you, a Red Sox fan? I am an Indians fan and I still love Manny
And of course he isnt the player he WAS, the guy is like 40. But now that he is back in the AL means he doesnt have to play defense. I think he'll have a great season. He loves proving haters wrong. And since he got Johnny Damon to come join him, he must be pretty happy right about now
If you dont think Manny could have taken more money other places then you just dont know very much about baseball, the guy is a future Hall of Famer

Manny being Manny.
And he wasnt juicing how some other players were. Going from being tiny to bring huge. He had some growth hormone he shouldnt have had for injury recovery. But yes, he technically violated league drug policy

Manny being Manny is probably one of the most common used phrases in baseball. I didnt just pull that out of my ass. Manny has never been known as much of a defensive player
And yes, I do believe it was for recovery. The guy was already big. He is getting older and older and keeps missing more games. Hints why he is back in the AL

I know, I've heard the phrase "Manny being Manny" before. I do watch baseball after all. And my 4 year old cousin can play defense better than him, seriously. I'd trade him quick as a bitch for a guy with 10-15 less homers but could play a little defense.
