Comments please.
I see CNN is heavily editing this blog. now what little context was here is gone, and we are left with a blog that makes ABSOLUTEY no sense, instead of just very little. boo cnn, boo!
In France, the woman touch their crotch to help lure men at the clubs by rubbing their musk behind their ears. Fact!
@Fred Bartkowski...Good morning to you sir. I see the troll is here too. What a shame. Hopefully this sick person's self-abusive behavior will end soon. We will most likely have to wait on the troll to overdose before CNN takes action. In the meantime, we will just have to get by. I see juvinile delinquents behaving like this in public also. And even adults from time to time. One can hardly do anything about it any more. Years ago, we could and did, and so the problem was not so commonplace. Now it's as if we are being forced to tolerate them.
Can we just start making new stat categories? Win, loss, ERA, killed someone.
Don't you worry Afredo! The court will release you soon, because you are a pitcher. We all love sports, and celebreties. All you can get away with murder!
just shut the hell up already. you're probably the troll yourself, I swear no one cares about it as much as you. you can try to hide your insults with veiled compassion, but your doing the same thing you're talking about. so quit being so full of yourself and stop wasting peoples time. don't bother responding, I don't suffer fools.
Then how do you live with yourself?
