    Why was the first DR batter out in inning 7 of the Venezuela game, Caribe Series?

    He was on base on the night of January 3, 2012, then they just told him to sit down and he did. Couldn't figure it out. Any ideas? It was the seriedelcaribe. I love baseball, and I have no idea. Thanks, Kevin

It melts around the edges and the rice turns out great. When I discuss alternatives with them, they look at me like I just insulted...

    Recommendation of Haitian Law Firm / Lawyer ?

    When Lawyers Break the Law

    Is there a Dominican form of the Legal Bar Review? A lawyer brokered a negotiated settlement between me and a corporation he represents. Then after I met all requirements on time and paid the lawyer, he did not return the property that I put in his custody to guarantee the agreement. What should...
