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.

There’s always some lol edgy creep out there who can’t keep it to himself :(

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 could have been an offender.

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.

Adopted Giant: Fred Lewis, who can still draw a walk.

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  

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.
