Legally, he is not required to say shit to his teammates, management or the press. Honestly, if he is on the team and tells the guys “hey, I had a problem and i needed to take care of it” that should be enough for them.

I’m sorry, but Belisario is not the reason this team is fucked. Yeah, it didn’t help matters but he wasn’t responsible for the ENTIRETY of the bullpen imploding. He wasn’t responsible for the offense having its collective head up its collective ass. Yes, it sucks that he had a problem but I am never going to be mad at someone for admitting they have a problem and going to GET help for that problem. By doing that, he was handling his own shit. He is making a commitment to the future by working on his health and well-being.

The press and public doesn’t need to do anything. Maybe Ethier is pissed and that’s why it came out like that, but he doesn’t have an obligation to us to tell us anything.

Well, why did Ethier bring up Belisario in the first place?

by Tripon on Aug 10, 2010 7:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

So he offended Ethier and thus he is the asshole of the century for not disclosing to the press about his personal issues?

Ethier takes a bat to items in the dugout when he has a bad at-bat. He’s not exactly the most stable or unemotional guy in the clubhouse.

Ethier may have just thought it was a funny line as well. Even from the first-hand reports we had, we don’t know why he was in a foul mood at that moment.

When Kent vs. Kemp happened in 2007

Most people in the media sided with Kent. Like it or not, when shit happens, the star is usually the one most sides with.

If Belisario wanted to nip this shit in the bud, he would have talked about it. He didn’t, and guess what, people are speculating what happened.

You say why should anyone give a shit. I’m saying that the media certainly gives a shit, and its bothering other members of the team about it, which is annoying and pissing them off.

All I’m saying is that Belisario and his agent could have headed all of this off if they wanted to. They chose not to, and that’s having its own consequences that at least one teammate does not like.

people are speculating what happened.

I haven’t seen any evidence, other than what I’ve seen here tonight, about people or the press, for that matter, really going at people wondering what Belisario took time off for.

If you’re referring to Ethier, he was asked about HIS CHILD’S NAME. I don’t know why Ethier made that comment. I don’t know if it’s because he’s a jackass, if he’s secretly disappointed or mad with Belisario for whatever the fuck, or if he had a bad case of the Mondays. That’s wild speculation.

Yet the result is that he specifically talked about Belisario when asked about his son.

Yes, this is all speculation. But all of the accusation that I’m taking this too far, you seem to be just as strident about not caring.

Belisario is not the reason for the Dodgers not being as good as they can be. He is however, somebody who had his own personal problems affect his work and caused issues for the team on whatever level and the Media was interested in.

Ok.

First of all, a guy doesn’t need to date me or anything like that to agree with me. We’re playing on a joke. Because he was trying to make a joke out of a situation. If I wasn’t a girl, would you even make a comment like that? I’m guessing no.

Secondly, I’m unaware of the “scores of reporters” asking. As several other posters have stated, it’s not really their business, or ours. I really doubt that the media has that much of an impact on the attitude of major league baseball players. By this, I mean that they’re not going to seriously affect people. If Ethier is pissy, he’s pissy and anything a press person says might be met in the same manner.

I shouldn't have made the dating shot at k3vo and you.

When a beat reporter asked Ethier about something on Sunday, and he made the Belisario shot, when he refused to talk about it today, its a story.

I don’t think its over today, you guys think it is. You also think its nobody business, I’m saying the media will make its business. Its what the media does, makes stories out of situations that are personal at times.

Louise Bourgoin: The hottest French actress I've ever seen <3

by Jojo93160 on Aug 10, 2010 7:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

Being the 1st match I have ever seen that I can really remember

that was a French Ligue 1 match, it was really good.

I thought PSG looked fast, played together, really solid soccer. I was impressed with the French League. I am not sure if they plan on broadcasting many French matches on FSC. It was the only game from France they played on FSC, but they had another on FS Plus. I will look into it tonight.

I am adopting PSG as my favorite French squad.

I think if Chelsea get Ramires

it could push them over the top. They need to get Bosingwa back. John Terry looked really slow in the Community Shield which worries me. I agree with your list for the most part. It will be ManU or Chelsea at the top and the other 2nd. I think Arsenal will be 3rd and Man City 4th though. My dark horse to get closer to the top 7 is Wigan. They are young and athletic as hell. Blackpool is terrible. Stoke may be in trouble, IMO, but they play well at home.

Good list

by keithc13 on Aug 10, 2010 8:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

Agree for Chelsea

Ramires can be a great asset for them…

Terry has worried his fans for 1 or 2 years on the field and off the field (remember the TerryGate)…

If Drogba can stay healthy, they should be champion…

Wigan is not a bad team but there are too many good teams this year: Aston Villa despite the departure of Martin O’Neill, Everton, Liverpool, Tottenham…

Louise Bourgoin: The hottest French actress I've ever seen <3

by Jojo93160 on Aug 10, 2010 8:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

Agreed.

I just think Wigan is exciting. Not nearly as good as Everton, Villa, Pool, or Spurs.

Is Milner leaving Villa for Man City? I heard he was. That would be a huge blow to Villa to lose O’Neill and Milner.

Terry is still relevant in the box. That is why it is hard. He is still tough and really good in the air. Alex is going to have to replace him in a couple of years. Alex is big and strong, but gets caught out of position too often. He just needs more match time.

by keithc13 on Aug 10, 2010 8:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yes... Milner is expected to leave for Man City...

And Ashley Young coulb leave the club too… If he will do… i will down Aston Villa…

Alex could be a good replacement for Terry but Carvalho has left Chelsea for Real Madrid, so the central back will be Terry and Alex…

Good point

I wish Ivanovic could move inside and play CB. That would put Cole, Ferrera, and Zhirkov as options on the outside of the back line. Cole scares me too because of his love to go forward. But he is great and fast. Zhirkov is a good backup but I don’t want him starting. I thought Ferrera looked good at times in the Community Shield. He seemed slow, but that was only against Valencia. Valencia was making everyone look slow!

by keithc13 on Aug 10, 2010 8:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ivanovic is a good backup CB...

No woory about Cole… He’s one of the best LB in the game and Zhirkov is one of those too…

If Bosingwa stays healthy, their defense would be pretty solid…

On the foward side, I forgot Sturridge, one of my favorite English prospect…

Oh!!! If you will follow the Ligue 1, there my top prospect list:

1/ Eden Hazard (20, Lille)
2/ Yann M’Vila (19, Rennes)
3/ Alexandre Lacazette (18, Lyon)
4/ Stephane Ruffier 23, (Monaco)
5/ Yanis Tafer (19, Lyon)
6/ Yoann Mollo (21, Caen)
7/ Andre Ayew (21, Marseille)
8/ Youssouf El-Arabi (23, Caen)
9/ Ryad Boudebouz (20, Sochaux)
10/ Johan Carrasso (23, Rennes)
11/ Henri Saivet (19, Bordeaux)
12/ Savic (20, Bordeaux)
13/ Francis Coquelin (19, Lorient)

15/ Bruno Eculé Manga (21, Lorient)
