If only because he was so ultra private and bizare things would leak out. Carl was upfront how he didn’t believe in dinosaurs and how Rocker hated the gays.

exactly, Vinny has the feel of someone who you really have to wonder what he's got in his garage
he could be up to some american physco stuff
Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'

What the hell is fisko?
It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.

I have a friend who lives in Corpus Christi
He actually briefly posted on the NMLR board, until wufdog and Kaiser Soze started flaming him and accusing him of being me.
Anyway…a few years ago, his wife called me about some case she was dealing with she wanted my input on, and she said, “Oh, by the way, Chris got shot this past weekend.”
It turns out that he and some buddies were out shooting on someone’s ranch, and someone got some big high-caliber weapon. Chris didn’t want any part of it, so he backed way out of the way. The guy fired it, and it ricocheted and some part of it hit him in the arm.
He had to go to the doctor, but no permanent damage, and he just had to take painkillers for a couple of days and then was fine. We laughed about it.
Seems like a similar situation to this one.

Hey, as the quote from Air America goes, “If you can’t laugh at war, whats the use of fighting”.
Look, if the guy had been shot and killed, everyone would be all “baseball has lost an ambassador” and “its so sad, cut down in the prime of life” and shit.
Since it was only a flesh wound (“You’re arms off!” “no it isn’t”) we can laugh at it.
Plus, its Padilla, so laughing at it is even better.
And of course, asking if we’d laugh if Holland had been shot, well, he was hanging out with Lil Wayne on halloween, and you know all those rappers are packing the heat. :)

I’m not saying I agree or disagree, I was just wondering the source of the material. If it’s Padilla himself, I find it fishy since he originally said he was in the clubhouse when it happened and not even on the bench.

He was on the bench when it happened.
There was a 3-4 second delay as the umpire came out and issued the warning to both teams and then the camera panned at VP.
That was the moment he rolled his eyes and smirked (or laughed).

I never read where Padilla said he was in the clubhouse
when it happened. That makes no sense for him to say that because he was clearly on the bench unless he ran up the tunnel and plopped his ass on the bench just before the camera panned towards him.
If you watched the game than you know the camera didn’t pan towards VP until after the warnings were issued.

In Padilla’s last start he lost to the Oakland A’s, in the first inning he surrendered a home run to Scott Hairston, two batters later he hit Kurt Suzuki. Two innings later the A’s retaliated by plunking Michael Young. Immediately after that the TV cameras caught Padilla, sitting in the dugout, smiling a smirk face. When asked about it later he denied laughing at Michael saying he was in the clubhouse.

The umpire immediately warned both teams
after Young was hit and that is when the camera went to Padilla.
If Padilla were to laugh because one of his teammates got hit, his teammates are pussies for not kicking his ass.
He’s getting a bad rap because the organization wanted to get rid of him.

I don't believe that Padilla's teammates
are pussies so that’s why I don’t believe he was laughing at Young getting hit.

Maybe
his teammates aren’t as smart as you. Maybe they weren’t able to be 100% sure of what he was laughing at like you. It wouldn’t be the first time you were smarter than everyone else.

Hey Josey...

Agreed that I have a lot of chips in that basket
but my premise was that CDavis being shoehorned into the line-up every day while Hank F was getting dicked around by the FO (that the vets hate) and it was hurting the chemistry of the team.
I was right.
The argument can be made that everybody who continues to bash Hank F have just as many chips in this argument.I eagerly await your response, and the subsequent links.

This I can agree with
You’re right, the organization was trying to get rid of him. They put him on waivers and not a damn team bit.
It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.

Or maybe
They were playing the ignore game and didn’t care what he was doing anymore because his time was limited.

I watched the game
and as soon as the umpire gave the warning, Padilla laughed and rolled his eyes.
It was interpreted that Padilla was laughing at a teammate getting hit but that didn’t make sense. VP wasn’t popular with his teammates or the organization and he rarely spoke to the media so the story about him laughing at Young getting hit was able to get traction.

Okay
Well a guy who lies about his whereabouts when the incident happens usually is a guy who is trying to crawfish his way out of trouble. Just my opinion

It'd be kinda sad
if you couldn’t at least snicker that someone’s bodyguard had shot the person he was supposed to protect.

Padilla responded to getting shot
by throwing a fastball at the bodyguard’s head.

While I don't think anyone (well almost anyone) is saying it's funny-haha-point-and-laugh
it is definitely a ‘smirk quietly to yourself in a ’now what?’ kinda way’ funny…

If you're a rich guy in Nicarauga
and you’re at a shooting range, you’re probably not preparing to go hunting, but to better your self preservation skills. I figure Padilla now that he is back home is working on his shooting skills to protect himself, his stuff and his family from gangs and kidnappers. Why this was called a hunting accident when it happened at a shooting range doesn’t make much sense. The danger from robberies and kidnappings in Central America is pretty high. ( I live in El Salvador.)

The latest I read mentioned that he was shot by his 'escort'

Police spokesman Vilma Reyes said on Wednesday that Padilla’s pistol apparently jammed during a target shooting session late Tuesday.
Padilla handed the pistol to a shooting instructor, a former police captain, who didn’t realize there was a bullet in the chamber and shot himself in his hand, Padilla’s legal adviser Roberto Calderon told The Associated Press. The bullet also grazed Padilla’s leg said Calderon.
The account contradicts Padilla’s agent, Adam Katz, who told The Los Angeles Times it was a “hunting accident.”
