Parent gotta be smarter too. Make it an e-vite with an RSVP. When they see no one is coming then ditch the party and take your kid somewhere for his BD.

Sorry for all the LMJ tweets, but he's a good dude.




I feel incredibly bad for that poor kid
I actually take exception to his dad's first reaction being to tweet at the maple leafs and put his pitiful son up for public scrutiny. "Hey my kid is a loser, have pity on him" goes over super great with the other kids in the 5th grade.

I'm sure he is a great kid and dad meant well, just more of the same social media crap out there every day.

No offense, cool of LMJ to reach out, just tired of the woe is me victim crap.

The fact that Correa almost singlehandedly saved us in 2017 WS game 2 and some of you want to jump ship on him is mind boggling.

But what has he done for me lately?

Well now I know how to get JV at my kids B-Day next year. Maybe he'll bring Kate and the baby?

I have some family experience with hypothyroidism and I can totally see how a poorly treated/untreated thyroid issue would have a huge effect on White. It can definitely hide in plain sight. Assuming that report is true ( and there's no reason to figure it's not) that's a bad look for the Astros medical team if they were aware it was a thing. But good on White and the Dodgers for getting it straightened out.

Did you mean 2017 ALCS game 2?

That's just an "I'm still bitter about 2017" tweet.

That's why I'm kind of suspicious anytime I see one of these "no one came to my kids BD party" posts now. It was bad enough when people were doing it to get a million likes, but now it seems far more lucrative.

Here we go again with the Astros are so horrible shtick.

Remember when they got taken through the ringer the last time the medical staff was in question?

Astros and the staff were scrutinized, grievance was filed, media latched on, etc. Except it turned out something was wrong and the kid did have elbow issues and TJ a year later.

Seriously, I have absolutely had it with this victim mentality. So what if the Astros knew about it? TYLER WHITE KNEW ABOUT IT. He's supposed to be a professional athlete... hell, a mature adult. Take care of yourself. If you have a treatable condition that impacts your ability to live and work in your chosen profession, go to the damn doctor yourself. Put yourself on a diet. Regulate your medication yourself. Is he a six year old that requires a mommy to remind him to take his medication?

What an absolutely ridiculous premise. Criticize the Astros for wasting money on the guy that wouldn't take care of himself, I guess, but don't make poor Tyler an innocent victim in the process.

No clue why that bothered me so much... now I gotta go take a blood pressure pill and calm down. Wait, isn't my employer responsible for doing that for me????

Ummmm if the dude, TW, knew about his own thyroid problem go see your own doctor. It isn't the responsibility of your employer to handle all of your medical care....grow the **** up and man up!

It obviously didn't show up in the physical before the trade.

Is it really any different than buying a used car and realizing that the thing runs like crap, and you take it to a mechanic to find out that some maintenance needed to be done to it? The Great White shows up in LA and they realize, "wow, this guy is even fatter and slower than we thought he was. If we're ever going to get anything out of this trade, we'd better get him up on the rack and check him out."

Can we make a new thread rule where if you're responding to a post with a long embedded image/tweet/etc, use the "reply" functionality instead of the "quote and reply" functionality? Or at the very least, delete the embedded image/tweet/etc from the quote.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but it's annoying to scroll down the page and see the same embeds over and over. Especially when it's Tyler White's picture.

Understood that I'm guilty of doing this in the past.

I don't care enough 1 way or the other. TA shrinks it after a couple of quotes anyway.

I get this sentiment, but also if I'm the team and I'm investing or have invested money in a guy, I'm doing things to get the most out of said investment.

I read it on the internet, so it has to be true.

Just FYI - you can click on the "in reply to..." and it will jump to the post the reply is for.

Edit to say I generally prefer the quote because I don't want to jump around.

One last comment on this particular part...this isn't like Chuck the fatboy in accounting at your office. These guys can get popped for 50 games for taking the wrong damn cold meds these days.
