Agreed. Didn't a game in Arlington a few years back have this happen, and the game stopped?

That balk is going to be a real killer.
I seriously doubt he knew what was going on.

Yay bullpen.
And in Los Angeles, I have to watch SEA-WSX because Vin's been blacked out for two years.

I'm not crazy about the balk rules that are in baseball today but the Cubs will take it!

Scully's the absolute best.
No one else can go into random ass New York Baseball Giants stories in the middle of broadcasts

Amen. He deserves the farewell season tour at every stadium next year. There will never be another great like Scully!

Scully is one of the few guys I'd rather hear over Len and Jim. I think they do a pretty good job.
Of course not. There's no way Arod would have been aware of what just happened.

This is why I think upper deck beer sales should be extremely limited. Really, really dangerous if you're hooting and hollering drunk at the railings.
Feel for his family. Hope he can rest in peace. Just a horrible, horrible, horrible thing.

I don't even know how you could possibly police something like that.
I can't even tell you the amount of times I've seen people buying multiple beers at once to take back to a group. You'd basically just need to identify potential danger spots and post security there almost all the time to keep fans, drunk or otherwise, away from falling.

It's a tragedy. But it's not the beer vendor's fault that this guy decided to drink so much, become belligerent, lean over a railing and not keep his balance. It's also not the fault of the brewer, the beer truck driver, or the food services manager for the stadium that ordered the beer. The man was old enough to be responsible for his own safety. Just thank goodness no one else was hurt.
While I feel bad that a life was lost today at the ballpark, I have a hard time having too much sympathy for a man supposedly in his late 50's who can't hold his liquor. I think at some point maturity needs to take over and you should know when enough is enough, especially in public. It's even crazier knowing that he was in the second row and sitting behind people.
It's a two way road in my opinion. The guy should've held his liquor better and the park should've stopped selling to him. And if it was like what the above poster said about someone else buying for him then the blood is on their hands as well.
Hopefully at least this will bring awareness to all fans and stadiums across the country and better decisions will be made in the future with alcohol.

I doubt it.

Peraza!
In most states an establishment (be it a venue, bar, grocery store, ect) is reliable for injuries sustained or caused by drunk patrons if they serve them on their property. I'm not sure what Georgia's laws are but the family of the decesed could have a legitimate case.
Again, I believe that it is a two way road.

Should have been out after the Crawford hit
I have no idea what you gain by leaving Lester in.
You've been pulling Hendricks and Hammel early for shit like this for weeks now.

ethier got a hit off a lefty? wow
Maddon probably wanted to rest the bullpen as much as possible. Lester only had 77 pitches through 6. But yea, he clearly lost it in between innings.
Cubs just fell apart this inning. Looks like four in a row
dodgers bullpen tho
