Best version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" ever.

Just the right amount.
Game 4 starter John Lackey made more money this year, $16 million, than the entire Indians' rotation ($11.7m). CLE 21st in MLB payroll.

OK this is hardly a surprise but I don't understand why this info is released? How is it anybody's business…I'm sure they were partying.. I'm sure he liked to party.. in Miami..

its really too bad this has become public.. the alcohol not so much but the cocaine…

At least when Bon Scott died the coroner wrote "Death by misadventure"….
Go Cubs!

I need a 7 game series…
Freedom of the Press. Like a birth certificate, cause of death is also a public record and subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Some states limit the amount of information turned over (like photos, for example) but the press is guaranteed the right to see how and why someone died.
Who was the fat guy singing the national anthem for game 2? Sure it wasn't Jose Fernandez or Donald Trump, but other than that i have noguesses.

thanks.

I figured but it seems kinda lame to me…..it makes me kinda mad but not that much….the Comey thing has my blood boiling..


sad for him and of course his loved ones…
Cubs need some big hits now….
This could be it for the Cubs… Cleveland has runners on 1st and 3rd with only out… up 3-1…top of the 6th…I don't know they can afford to give up any more runs…


ooh close call at third…
4-1



its going to take some doing to come back in this one…

Cool to see John Paul Stevens in attendance.. feel a little bad for him though….they just showed him and it said he'd attended the 1929 and 1932 World Series..

he wasn't driving.. maybe.. just giving direction so ok if he was drinking


kinda interesting that this witness didn't come forward until the toxicology results came out and suddenly there was some vested interest in having him not be the driver….. but that also might just be my usual cynicism talking…..

well I don't know.. there was a report of someone talking to him on the phone while they were out driving the boat and maybe he was worried cause Jose had had a fight with his girlfriend as I recall..Can't be sure what he told the investigators. .I just read something through the papers..

lets go Cubs! I really need more of a series here…
That Eddie Vedder guy sounds constipated.
