People have a right to come on here and vent their frustrations whether we all agree with it or not. So, if you cant accept that, we dont want or need you either. you are the loser nrmax88. you come on here insulting people like you are some damn baseball expert.

Second, someone mentioned Ruben Sierra above. Omar actually signed him to a minor league contract last year and he was in spring training. Fortunately he asked to be released, or we would have seen plenty of him. I come from a mixed family. I consider myself of mixed race as well. But even I know that Omar does like to give opportunities to people who share a similar background to him. They are the players who get the minor league contracts when others don't. The staff around him reflects that as well. Before anyone bothers to mention the guys who don't fit that mold, I'm not saying it's a BIG issue, but it's not something you can really pretend hasn't existed if you're being honest. For whatever reason, Omar does extend more opportunities to aging Latin players. Anyone who wants to flame me for it can do that, but you would have a very hard time convincing the people in my life that I am racist. It is what it is. First of all it was funny.

How does ronaldo hobbes come into being? how is he treated in town? Was he in the will when the parents died, or did Roy get everything (though allowing Ronaldo to stay in the guesthouse)? that's what's funny to me. I thought it was pretty funny conceptually.
