Ronald Belisario Has Visa, No More Excuses

in Los Angeles Dodgers Roster

Stop me if you have heard this one before: Ronald Belisario says he will join the Dodgers in spring training. "He should be ready to go," Belisario's agent Rick Oliver told Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times. The important wrinkle here is that Belisario now has received his work visa, which he did not get last season.
But just because Belisario is expected to join the Dodgers on time doesn't mean he will, or that he will have a spot waiting for him in the bullpen when he gets there.
Belisario, who turns 29 on December 31, was the surprise of 2009 spring training, making the club and providing 71 innings of quality relief for a team that went to its second straight NLCS. Belisario did show up late that season to spring training, but in hindsight that was his most punctual spring training to date with the Dodgers.
In 2010 Belisario showed up late again, a whopping 35 days late, and began the season on the restricted list as he got in shape in Arizona. Later in the summer he was placed on the restricted list again and reportedly received treatment for substance abuse. Belisario had trouble getting a visa in 2011 thanks to a combination of his checkered past and his own laziness, and didn't report to spring training at all. He remains on the restricted list to this day.
He has been pitching in the Venezuelan Winter League, and has a 4.09 ERA with 15 walks and 21 strikeouts as the closer for los Bravos de Margarita. If Belisario comes back, that is great, as it gives the Dodgers another option for their bullpen. But Belisario no longer has the benefit of the doubt. Show up to camp first, and on time for once. Then we can talk about your role on the team.

The Blue Jays bid for Darvish was “more than $50 million,” says Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star. That has to be frustrating willing to commit that much and then lose out on the guy.
And the winning bid was $51.7 million? Good gosh, they just missed it.

Better revenge would have been hiding a carton of milk or some frozen sea food somewhere near the bosses office. If you hide it well enough that shit can be some serious long-term punishment.
The old fish in the ceiling is the best trick.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
A story floating around at the Times
and it may be apocryphal, is someone put a dead fish in the ceiling tiles above a boss they didn’t like. Then one day the boss was working at his desk and all of a sudden the ceiling collapses on him from all the rats that were eating the fish.

I learned that one from this:
One of the most entertaining light reads I’ve come across. Jello Biafra recommended the frozen fish prank in a bank’s safe deposit box, which by law they’re not allowed to open.
About an hour ago, I walked from one building to another and I saw that your building seemed to have every light on, on every floor, which seemed strange. Now I know why.

Its pretty astounding that for the sbnation app
it doesn’t support landscape. If you are really going to choose one orientation for your application and lock it at that, why not landscape?

I’m new to the smartphone world but holding it landscape makes the most sense to me.

i'm also new to the smartphone world and i hate holding my phone landscape
i guess it’s just a matter of preference
Yeah, but when you have a smartphone with a slide out keyboard
You don’t want it portrait-only

I’m just waiting for companies to realize that taking phone calls on a tablet wouldn’t be burdensome.
Wouldn't they have to include additional parts to allow that though?
and arent’ thinks already pretty scrunched up in there? But yeah, just add bluetooth support and whamo.
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
Its a couple of chips, and if they really are worrying about it, make it though google voice or something. Major reason the phone companies don’t want to do it is because they want you to buy a smartphone and the tablet.
Maybe no one wants to carry a tablet around? I mean come on, you can skype on it or oovoo but how many folk are currently caring their tablet around 24/7 compared to the smartphone? I’m going to use my tablet at home and work but it ain’t going on a date with me.

for a text heavy site
and espically in the comment section with all the indenting, landscape simply makes more sense. Why force everything to scrunch up?

Agreed. Clearly the comment read/not read history is stored on their servers, so why not make use of it?

Agreed; first thing I noticed. The rotation is such a basic function on smartphones that not having it seems either stupid or lazy. I very much prefer typing with the keyboard landscape.

Best line I have read from behind the ESPN pay wall Today:
Jason Varitek, 40, is also a free agent, as is Ramom Castro, 36, Dioner Navarro and Jason Kendall. Navarro, tweets Jon Heyman, is drawing interest from the Angels.
i always wonder what subject will be brought up when I'm not on the site for a bit
I’m never dissapointed.

BELISARIO SUSPENDED
LOS ANGELES — Reliever Ronald Belisario, who obtained a visa this week to enter the United States from his native Venezuela and resume his Dodgers career, first must serve a 25-game suspension for violating the Joint Drug Program, according to the Commissioner’s Office.

Danny Knobler article
An official of one team involved said that Cespedes’ agents expect him to land a contract of between $25-45 million, but some in baseball have even speculated that the final price will be higher.
I’m very interested in the outcome of this, though my own team is going to be nowhere in sight.

As @HowardBeckNYT predicted, Clippers-Lakers was most-watched preseason game on NBA TV. 509,000 viewers, tops 501K for Heat’s Big 3 debut.

guess the Reds see a real opportunity to strike
with whats going on in the rest of the division
per mlbtraderumors
The deal is close, a source tells Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com, and it includes the Cubs receiving two minor leaguers along with Wood.
The Reds are trying to convince Joey Votto to stay in Cincy. But too many teams will need a 1B and have the money to spend in 2013. We got the Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, and the Yankees playing out the string of Mark Teixeria’s contract.
Don’t jump to conclusions just yet. McCourt might sell the team to someone poorer than himself. Or our new owner and GM will be reluctant (perhaps wisely) to chase aging free agents with a high price tag.

Just watched the Louis CK stand up special. Holy mother of God, that was hilarious. One of his bits had me laughing so much my stomach muscles are kind of hurting right now.
I’d recommend plunking down the $5 and enduring the slow download to watch it. So worth it.
I finally downloaded it today, can't wait to watch (and rewatch)

according to MLBTR
The Braves offered Jurrjens AND Prado to the Orioles for Adam Jones and the O’s said no. Braves were also sending a pitching prospect. Seems like a lot to turn down.

Jurrjens would probably get hammered in that division as he was quite lucky last year, but the O’s need help at 2B and 3B and Prado seemed unlucky last year, depends on the prospect but I would probably hold out since Adam Jones is entering his prime and you might get more for him later.

last year don mattingly had the fewest pinch hitters of any manager in the nl. it only felt like dioner had 300 illegitimate at bats.
