Two-month old baby here is in the hospital...that was her BAC when she was brought into the emergency room.

What is WRONG with people?

:banghead:

1. Oh, christ

I thought this was gonna be about Bonehead's batting average.



Jesus — that's just...



Whom do I kill? :grr:

[reyd reid reed]

2. No...Bonehead's BA is .687

I heard about this last night and I just can't wrap my mind around it.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Heebus!

I couldn't either.

How the hell do you hit .687?




:hide:

[reyd reid reed]

15. You don't wanna know what his OBP is...

and you hit .687 when you're facing 17-year-old pitchers.

February 15, btw.

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. That for the Rocks

or everybody?

I thought it was the week after. :shrug:

[reyd reid reed]

19. Nope. 15th.

I looked it up this morning when I saw KW's thread. I'll find a calendar tonight and actually count.

I love counting down, now that it's less'n 100 days.

:D

3. Ummmm, hopefully CPS or DHS came?

[reyd reid reed]

9. DHS is involved

as is the sex crimes unit of the CSPD...there's no evidence that the baby's been injured in that way, but that's the police whatchamacallit that responds to major crimes involving children.

4. i'd have a much better batting average

if i had some alone time with a Louisville Slugger and the rat bastard that did that to the kid.

swing for the fences, baby.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Which would you take?

Light, for bat speed, or heavy, for impact power?

I think I'd go with light, since that'd let me hit him repeatedly for longer.

[MrCoffee]

10. definately go with the lighter bat...i don't want arm fatigue

while swinging on that piece of shit. quick hands quick hands quick hands

[miss_american_pie]

5. Oh the poor sweet baby

And to answer you question, lots of things I'd rather not think about.

[reyd reid reed]

12. It's just mind-boggling.

That's a high enough level to kill someone...my god.

[ThomCat]

7. Oh, I hope that baby doesn't suffer any permanent damage.

x(
I imagine that much alcohol at such a fragile age can burn a lot of damage.

I wish I could answer your question, but I don't know what's wrong with people either.

[reyd reid reed]

13. The hospital's not releasing any information at all...

not even whether she's expected to recover. It's just so awful I can't comprehend it. Two months old. Probably barely rolling over. It's just...

Words can't express.

[lizziegrace]

11. I just heard that on Air America

:(

[reyd reid reed]

14. How could ANYONE do that to a baby?

I just don't understand. I CAN'T understand.

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. How much y'wanna bet

they're "pro-life," too?

[reyd reid reed]

17. I wouldn't take that bet

'cause you're prolly right.

[ThomCat]

29. I wouldn't take that bet either.

[BreweryYardRat]

20. That can actually be caused by rubbing the infant with rubbing alcohol.

Generally done in an attempt to lower fevers by letting the evaporating alcohol cool the baby off. A high percentage of the alcohol seeps through the soft, permeable infant skin and into the blood, jacking up the BAC in a hurry. Very bad for the baby. (Duh!)

Learned that in pharmacology class the other day.

Point is, it's stupid, but not necessarily negligent. Wait for more details.

[reyd reid reed]

21. No...they said this was from ingesting alcohol...

they've already ruled out the rubbing alcohol.

[BreweryYardRat]

22. Oh.

Shit. Could the kid have gotten into it accidentally? That's negligent, but I have a hard time believing anyone would be stupid enough to pour alcohol for a baby.

[MrCoffee]

23. a 2-month old?

there's no way a two-month old gets into anything accidentally.

[bleedingheart]

25. well perhaps the mother was breastfeeding while drinking vodka

and she has a dribble glass and the vodka just sloshed all over her breast while the kid was feeding....that might be an accident but that would be highly improbable.

I am suspecting a really bad parent trying to kill the infant.

Or....

An unexperienced or stupid parent who thought that a bit of alcohol would cure colicky baby and give mom or the sitter or the dad a rest....all profoundly stupid ...but people are capable of such immense stupidity.

[reyd reid reed]

24. Two months old.

Unlikely. Less than unlikely. Virtually impossible. Probably can't grasp yet.

[BreweryYardRat]

27. Point. I'm too young for kids, and I've never been around babies much.

Sign me up for the "punch the idiot parents" list.

[MrCoffee]

28. see post # 4...there's a line

OR and I are gonna tee up some batting practice.

[bleedingheart]

26. Here is praying that the child recovers..

what a way to start out....

pisses me off

30. Is this another one of those lounge threads that makes band names?

The Bat Clad Liberals?

Smashed Toddler Swingset?

Sexy Vigilantes?
