      Oh that.

      Everywhere I went in Japan, the kids would pull the skin below their eyes down to make them round-shaped and yell "buta kao!" (pig face). It always made me laugh. Good times.

          soooo because Japanese kids are racist its ok...got it. That makes sense. Darvish has handled this with such class its a real testament to him. MLB giving a 5 game suspension next year...lol OK.

              I have no dog in this fight. But Altuve is cute, so he cancels out the racist. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Roberts and a special 2nd base steal, but I like the way the Astros have played so far. I'll continue to root for them.

                This morning's local sports talk station included a discussion about a recent change in baseballs, including slight modifications of the cover and the seams, resulting in more gopher balls. These changes have been noted by various players, but they haven't been officially announced (and would probably be denied). Still, how else to explain the record-setting HR barrage?

                  I don't like what Gurriel did, but I also don't think a slant eye gesture should keep him out of the World Series.
                  Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                    What about calling him a chinito coupled with the slanted-eye gesture? I am actually not really calling for him to be suspended I am just surprised that he isn't. If a player put on an wig of braids and called a player the N word they would be suspended... At the very least they become easy to root against. Eff the Ass tros.

                      I may be wrong, but I'm not sure Chinito is a horrible term, at least in Caribbean spanish. A friend of mine who lived in Puerto Rico used to talk about his favorite restaurant down there called Chinito's (chinese restaurant). I don't think its exactly the equivalent of the N word.

                        probably not but it is considered offensive to Asians....little china boy has a certain connotation.

                          Those little kids were typically accompanied by parents who always thought it was hilarious.

                          But hey, people are entitled to take offense however they like. I honestly don't care one way or the other on this particular incident.

                          I have always enjoyed seeing teams from Texas beat teams from LA.

                            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
