CosmicBills Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Not sure if the incident at Dodger stadium made national news or not, but the Giants are also paying for the entirety of the medical bills for their fan who was nearly beaten to death by two thugs outside of Dodger stadium last weekend. Meanwhile, Frank McCourt does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did, but this is the first I heard about them paying his bills. Is he out of the coma yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBills Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 It did, but this is the first I heard about them paying his bills. Is he out of the coma yet? Not yet (that I know of). After the incident not only did the giant pick up the medical bills (it didn't even happen in their park!) but they also put up 50k into the reward pool. The city of LA put in 50k as well. A private business matched that. The dodgers? 25k ... McCourt came out today and had a press conference but whatever. Too little too late for me. He was in hiding because he didn't want to answer questions about the divorce. Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 It's a medically induced coma, so it's not a matter of him coming out of it, but when they want him to come out of it. When I would read this story, I'd read the comments saying it was a gang thing. Of course, those comments are all about race, so I'm not sure if it was. Anyone hear anything on that?

I heard nothing about it being gang related. The guy is an EMT and they interviewed a guy he worked with and he said everyone loves him. Not that EMTs can't be in a gang but it's unlikely.

It wasn't him that was in a gang, from what I was reading, but the guys who attacked him.....I guess Dodger caps, etc. are now the #1 gang thing to wear, overtaking the Raiders.

Buftex Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 They've been a great team to follow the past couple of years since moving here. Home opener tonight. I was just in Seattle for a week, went to the Mariners home opener against the Indians. Not a great game (especially for the home-town fans, 4th inning was a killer), but a gorgeous night...had a blast. First time I have ever been to an MLB home/season opener...would love to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I have ever been to an MLB home/season opener...would love to do it again. Home openers are unique. I have only missed 2 of the last 10 of mine. The flyovers bring chills to me each time.

Buftex Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 For you Giants fans, or baseball fans in general, it looks like Showtime is giving MLB the "Hard Knocks" treatment, with a new show called "The Franchise", featuring the San Francisco Giants. I guess there was a premiere episode around opening day, but the show will start airing regularly, on Wednesdays, starting July 13th. Saw a preview, looks pretty good...Brian Wilson is pretty funny...that beard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
