The BBTF discussion of this really weirded me out. It was only a few people but there were a couple of child-rape apologists on there (or creeps who wanted to have a “philosophical discussion about it”) and ick. I mean, they all got more or less dogpiled for it but it made me feel really gross.

One of the first comments on the article (before all the details were shared in the thread, mind you) was “It happened three times, so it must have been consensual!”

I should have stopped reading it right there.

I see the definition of consensual has changed since I last looked it up.

And just remember: you can’t spell consensual without “sensual.”

What I thought was a made up South Park joke is apparently real and disgusting!

I once mentioned Mel Hall as being the biggest waste of a roster spot the Giants ever had, back in 1996 when he posted a .120 / .148 / .120 OPS in 25 games, and wasn’t capable of playing defense. Apparently, he’s just as useless in real life.

How did he exactly end up on the Giants that year? He hadn’t played in the majors in like 3-4 years by that time.

by xanthan on Jun 17, 2009 12:41 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He played in Japan in his absence, I think.

How did he make the team? He went the 2009 Rich Aurilia route: got a non-roster invite and hit over his head in Spring Training. The hype was that he would be a super-great pinch-hitter, and thus valuable even though he couldn’t play defense at all.

Obviously, in the regular season, he did absolutely nothing. They still kept him around for several weeks, though.

I remember all that hype about his pinch hitting ability, “he can wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning and hit a line drive!”

Holy crap, I completely forgot he was ever on the Giants.
