JSngry Posted July 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 https://www.slideshare.net/atajar/aprendiendo-espaol-con-los-cubanos There's whole series of these, and these sayings. Translation is rough, it appears to be quite idiomatic/colloquial/whatever, but it seems to boil down to The Cuban Is The Baddest Motherfucker alive, which, ok, Tata Guines, you got me there, but otoh, Adrian Beltre no es Cubano, so reconcile that differencee if you need to, I don't. Actually, I think it's talking about how Cuban Spanish is indeed quite idiomatic, and if my extremely small sample size is any indicator, with that I will not disagree. I know the "accent" is completely crazymad it's own thing, percussive and rolling all at once, absolutely beautiful even if you don't understand the words.

JSngry Posted July 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 In terms of sheer delightfulness and watchability, he has been the Willie Mays of my adulthood. Plus, a damn fine ballplayer. A sure HOF-er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 In position-specific terms, he's been the Brooks Robinson of my adulthood. I used to lave watching the Orioles play whenever possible, waiting for Brooks to do one of his things. LOVED watching that guyn I've been able to watch Belte at will for a good while now, and I tell you, it has been a splendid experince.

ghost of miles Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hoping that the Yankees manage to land Sonny Gray today without giving away too much of the farm (so to speak) and that Aaron Judge can get back on track--between his and Matt Holliday's struggles, the 3-4 slots in the Yankee lineup have been a black hole of late: Yankees still pursuing Sonny Gray; Aaron Judge slump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Best thing I've read about the painfully unfulfilled promise of the Rangers' stint with Yu Davish (sic): Scouts Take on The Darvish Deal https://www.lonestarball.com/2017/8/1/16072780/scouts-take-on-the-darvish-deal I’m sure it wasn’t a fun day in the Rangers front offices. I imagine they’re satisfied with their return, but make no mistake- this sucks. They wish they were in contention and they wish the thought of trading Yu was off the table given the playoff standings. But the reality is, this is where they are. And this is where we are as a fanbase. I got a couple new dudes on the farm and Texas hedged losing Yu for nothing in December. It’s a roller coaster and we all bought tickets. Gonna be ups. Gonna be downs. And we’re gonna go real, real fast at times. And it’s gonna be a whole lot of fun regardless. Especially for those of us who don’t own the coaster. Being a fan is the best, except when it’s the worst. Or the hardest. But truthfully, it’s still the best. As Always, Enjoy Baseball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Full page ad in today's Dallas Morning News: I've not pulled for the Dodgers since the Walter Alston days, nor do I have any intent reversing course. But if Yu helps get them to the World Series, I'll suspend that. Just once! Darvish has been a delight his whole time here. Too bad this is how it ended.

Kevin Walker laughs at the presumptuousness of that assumption. 1 hour ago, Brad said: I hope Ryan (a marginal HOFer) got the worst of it but looks like he got a few good licks on Ventura. Dude, that scrap made Ryan A National Hero in Arlington for a decade or more. Then he went to the Astros becuase he got butthurt by ownership and now nobody gives a fuck. Well, almost nobody: I was watching that game on TV, and have seen it replayed literally hundreds of time. As usual, the mythoogy is a lot more gaudy than the reality. But the reality, as always, is a lot more interesting: http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/men-action/201404/nolan-ryan-making-pitcher-rob-goldman-rangers-white-sox-ventura-grebeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 It was certainly a hell of a fight. He gave Ventura a few good knocks! Was there a history beteeen then or had Ventura been plunked a lot that year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
