John, I’d suspect that focusing on baseball and pretending that nothing outside of that world exists is the sort of thing that leads to a lot of ballplayers’ problems. Would that we don’t similarly pretend. Regardles, this is a baseball news blog, and when a former baseball player is involved in things that could cause him to spend decades in prison, that’s baseball news. If this comes as a shock to you, it means that you haven’t been reading this site very long. Posted 07/02 at 01:23 PM

I also take issue with the quality of content on your so-called blog. So I can perhaps lead a few lucky souls away from your wanton acts of bloggery, I will now criticize every time you reference Batman or the Watchmen. Posted 07/02 at 01:35 PM

Criticize me? A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there’s no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned? Posted 07/02 at 01:43 PM
Dan said...
I have no idea what happened between the two of them, but the fact is that by his own admission, Leyritz has no money and he and his kids are living off of his wife’s income. So tell me again why he would be evicting her? Posted 07/02 at 02:07 PM

Snicker. Deriving from the first comment, you need to elevate your blog by predicting which current ballplayers will end up similarly to Leyritz. Perhaps you can start by examining the Cardinals roster for likely suspects. Posted 07/02 at 02:08 PM

how come Leyritz is facing 10 years in prison, while Donte Stallworth was able to plead down to 30 days in jail and house arrest? Just curious. Posted 07/02 at 03:36 PM

@Ern: easy. Stallworth is still able to make millions of dollars per year, and can therefore buy his way out of trouble. Leyritz is (obviously) in financial hardships, so he is subject to the justice system like us po’ foke. Posted 07/02 at 09:46 PM

I sense another Ken Caminiti Calamity on the way. This guy can’t having many ticks left on his clock if he keeps living like this. Posted 07/03 at 05:46 AM

This stuff belongs in and sounds as if it was written for the Smoking Gun, not here. Nothing to do with baseball. What a colossal waste of time, energy and what appears to be a smattering of intellect.
Of course, the website could be renamed the LowballTimes to suit the “social” commentary.
