Sort of like you feel for Marlon Brando in "On the Waterfront"<br /><br />I haven't heard any speculation or fact about this anywhere, but this news raised real integrity of the game questions for me.<br /><br />I cheer the laundry first, and who is to say this did not have an impact on games? And lets face it, one game might just have been the trim tab that turned the Indians ship of state. No question, things would have been radically different had the Indians made the world series in 2007.<br /><br />Is it not reasonable to think the frailty we've observed is the direct result of FC/RHH staring the wolf in the face?<br /><br />"Hey Bobby, I've got a little cabbage on the Red Sox tonight. See if you can't groove a few pitches, or Momma Carmona might make a little phone call to ESPN Desportes!"<br /><br /><br />This news sheds a new light on his failures as a closer at Fenway, and certainly on the dreaded ALCS game, where a single at bat saved Nancy Drew from the well-earned ire of Sox fans for a dreadful 2007 season. That Sox team had a bunch of Dominicans.<br /><br />Certainly this must have been a bit of an open secret in the Dominican. RHH did not just start playing ball at 20, did he? Either he or the real Fausto had to have played ball with someone who knew someone? He had to have teammates and coaches along the way who knew!<br /><br />Knowledge is power. Did someone wield it against Hernandez, to the detriment of Indians fans everywhere?Coinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128742333649672252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-49574721649964911242012-01-27T08:55:23.378-05:002012-01-27T08:55:23.378-05:00You know you've made it big when your comment ...You know you've made it big when your comment boards start getting spammed for free Flash templates.Spillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08413824903442574052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-63183938724624704592012-01-26T06:19:41.690-05:002012-01-26T06:19:41.690-05:00He seemed to be a bit fragile mentally even before...He seemed to be a bit fragile mentally even before this. Have to wonder what happens now. CF Perez said on that Pure Rage podcast that "Grande" will be welcomed back so I doubt there are any worries in the clubhouse. I am rooting for him, and lets face it, we need him.GMAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408612828135813442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-28742167566418187442012-01-25T16:41:25.190-05:002012-01-25T16:41:25.190-05:00My guess is that the one segment that would be abl...My guess is that the one segment that would be able to relate the most to Fausto's p[light would be his teammates. They should recognize that he had to keep that part of his life secret, or this would happen. As most strive for big bucks in baseball, they would also understand the desire to succeed.<br /><br />All said, my guess is outside the name, Fausto was completely himself with teammates and they would welcome and back him up all the way. I wouldn't think they'd react by second guessing everything that comes out of his mouth from here forward.Halifaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712626480683595819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-26969037477672273292012-01-25T13:20:31.677-05:002012-01-25T13:20:31.677-05:00One thing that's interesting is Carmona/HH'...One thing that's interesting is Carmona/HH's relationships and how they'll be effected. I'm talking about the relationships with his teammates, his team's front office, and with his team's fans (yeah, that's us). I can't speak to how professional baseball players will react to the news that they've been training, playing and living alongside an alias for a decade or so for some Indians, but I can imagine those responses will be as varied and nuanced as those of the fans (again, that's us). How the team reacts will most likely be the easiest reaction to predict: follow the money. If he's still worth $7 million under a different name and age, he'll pitch.<br /><br />As a fan I can only say that Carmona/HH was an enigma even when we didn't know that he was throwing the ball with somebody else's name on his jersey. This situation gives us as fans a chance to either disown him entirely or embrace him more closely. I'm leaning towards the latter based mostly on my interest in the stories of the people in the game, and this is most definitely a story. It's fascinating. I look forward to learning more about Fausto/Roberto in the coming months, not just in stories as they appear on the web or on television in 2 minute segments, but as he appears on the mound, trailing this new narrative like toilet paper stuck to his cleats.<br /><br />Go Tribe (is that the team's real name?)!CLohsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640058765124455620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-74082892369380772962012-01-25T11:21:10.488-05:002012-01-25T11:21:10.488-05:00Very well done, Paul, you make me proud.

It's interesting to read of him living in an environment that we cannot really imagine. The payoff is also more than we can fathom as your basic working stiffs. The rags to riches (millions) story is one of extremes that is foreign to us in every way.Halifaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712626480683595819noreply@blogger.com
