Chipper Jones killed a Mexican guy

[Fman99]

Well, some would interpret the story this way.

Others, like Larry himself, would blame lax immigration restrictions and high summer temperatures.[/url:27ld5rnq] Whatever.

At least now we know what Mariano does with the bodies of people who die in his swimming pool.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Curious how Larry, Sr., finds a corpse and knows its immigration status.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I thought he homered off Ollie or something.

it isn't irrelevant, its part of the story behind his death, a possible why he was there and without food/water

It's not even established to be true!
