Hello there,
Dominics father here.
Thank you for the very kind words.
He is doing well. He is back to school and back to playing ball.
He still goes to therapy ( speech) and reading comprehension.
All in all he is prob. 85% himself.
Were all just glad to have him around period.
There is a special account that was opened for him at the Marquette Bank,
14300 82nd Av. Orland Park Illinois. But as of this date the balance is at 0.
I guess word never spread. But thats fine. Were just plugging along, knowing its all in gods hands anyway.
Thanx again.
Pete and Dominic

What are you even doing at this place? You’re not even playing in this league. Go back to the safety and comfort of Ann Coulter’s teet!

Now blow me.

Anybody else here feel like sacrificing their rights and freedoms so Mr. Wussy here can feel a little safer?

How does your husband feel about it, Russ?

The Islamic radicals intent on killing anybody that shows a bit of resistance like the French surrender monkeys.

I just read that Amtrak intends to begin a program of randomly targeting riders for searches and scans of their luggage. If their initial “scan” turns up a “hit” then they will search your luggage by hand. This is incredibly invasive for simple domestic travel. We’ve seen such an extreme militarization of this country in the past several years and I find it very disturbing.

My question is, if I were to refuse to comply with a search what could happen to me?

Besides being tasered, I mean.

I used to spend a few days every summer in Chicago enjoying the Cubs and Harry Caray. I always thought Harry was among the finest proponents for baseball and beer drinking; singing, now that was another matter. I always enjoyed seeing the rooftop bleachers just beyond right center field on Sheffield Avenue and thinking those guys and gals knew how to party.

I agree with Professor Turley that the leagues have known for years that these types of injuries were largely preventable by installing more and larger screens. Unfortunately the “it costs too much argument” has prevented that simple precaution along with the Courts’ archaic concept of knowing assumption of risk providing cover for this negligence. Funny that hockey has no such reluctance to protect its fans from likely risk of pucks leaving the playing service. The theory of assumption of risk likely won’t apply to a child of that age, so a suit may be in the offing, although I note with interest the father’s fawning statement. It seems to me that his child’s long term health risk from this TBI would be of more concern to him than a token buy off with trinkets from the Club.

I do take substantive issue with Professor Turley on one crucial point however. I am firmly convinced that the old timers at Wrigley are “Old Style” beer drinkers and that “Hamms” was reserved for the White Sox crowd. For proof, here’s the pertinent cite from “The Old Style Polka” that I have heard at the Park:

“So have another Old Style,
all our friends are here,
We’re livin Old Style
Old Style beer”

That being said, I hope anybody injured at a “professional” sports game sues the team out of business……

Go get ‘em ambulance chasers!
