justBLAZE Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The last U.S. Census recorded 219 residents. If Industry were to host the Angels, it would be the least-populous city to host an MLB franchise. By a lot. The shopping-mall scenes in the Back to the Future movies were filmed at an Industry mall. There's a McDonald's in Industry that is used "strictly for filming movies and commercials." (Imagine how frustrating that must be for hungry visitors!) "City of Industry is also home to an unusual number of strip clubs, including the headquarters of the Spearmint Rhino chain." Sounds like a great place to visit!

Chisoxfn Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 City of Industry has also been one of the frontrunners for a new NFL team. Not many people, but a decent amount of business there. Population isn't the issue anyway as it is smack in the middle of a pretty populated area. Either way, Moreno has to get an alternative site so he has better leverage with the city of Anaheim.

I want to see you have a good managerial career again. At this rate, you won't have a job in two years. He'll be a host on Dumbest Videos with Tanya Harding.

southsider2k5 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/break...story?track=rss Eric Gagne, who won the National League Cy Young Award in 2003, claims in his new biography that about 80 percent of his Dodgers teammates used performance-enhancing drugs when he was playing, ESPNLosAngeles reported Tuesday. Gagne says in the book that he used human growth hormone over five cycles during a three-year period at the end of his career. “It was sufficient to ruin my health, tarnish my reputation and throw a shadow over the extraordinary performances of my career,” Gagne says in the French-language book titled, “Game Over: The Story of Eric Gagne.” Gagne set a major league record by converting 84 consecutive save chances, and he converted all 55 while posting a 1.20 ERA in 2003. He had elbow surgery in 2005 and signed as a free agent with the Rangers before the 2006 season. Gagne signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers in 2010, but was released during spring training. He hasn't pitched in the major leagues since 2008. Gagne first publicly admitted to using HGH in 2010. In his book, Gagne does not the name players he says used PEDs. “I was intimately aware of the clubhouse in which I lived. I would say that 80 percent of the Dodgers players were consuming them,” Gagne says in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 The Yankees are getting sued for not paying waiters their share for a fee deemed as "Yes, says the lawsuit, which charges that state law specifically speaks to this question. The waiters note that from 2009 to 2011, the "service charge" was added to customers' bills as a mandatory fee, and a line on the menu noted that "additional gratuity is at your discretion."" http://sports.yahoo.com/news/waiters--yank...npaid-tips.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 08:46 AM) An amazing story about a top prospect who walked away from it all to become a monk http://sports.yahoo.com/news/from-prospect...-his-peace.html I remember when he retired. It was just such a WTF moment. The guy went out on top atleast. If there is Divine Intervention, that was it. He absolutely murdered that ball in Stockton upon his promotion, saw his peripherals improve, and then hit 11 homers in the AFL too, which put him at 42 for the minor league season. Brent Morel led the league in average (though only 62 ABs) that year, and Jordan Danks played really well too. EDIT: Can probably include the link. It's a who's who of former big names who have flamed out big time. I literally remember hearing a ton about most of those guys, and only like 10 have become solid major league hitters http://mlb.mlb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?y=...119&t=l_bat Edited September 28, 2012 by witesoxfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
