This is going to get ugly, real bad news for Jeff I am afraid.
"Two big names are also expected to testify: Jeff Bagwell, the former Astros player and alleged boyfriend of Rachel Brown, and the owners of the upscale Festari For Men clothing store near the Galleria. "

Here's a much more lascivious report on the trial (http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2011/09/a_butt-dialed_voicemail_allege.php), sans Baggy reference.

Yes. All three times in 12 years. Wowwee. Does this keep you up at night?

This isn't good news for Bagwell's chances at the Hall of Fame. The whole "moral high ground" defense to the steroid allegations may be gone.

By far the best part of the article ...
She said she confronted her husband after a "pocket dial" made unintentionally from his phone a day earlier left a message in which he seemed to be flirting with another woman.
The couple began yelling at each other, Rachel Brown said, and her husband became enraged. She said he chased her through their home, throwing heavy crystal vases and a humanitarian award at her.
"He picked up a vase, and threw it at my head," she said on the witness stand. "He threw two vases at me and threw one on the floor."
The altercation, witnessed by the couple's three children, was broken up by a bodyguard who had standing instructions to break up the couple's fights.
So many things. Can't choose.
-
In case anyone gives a shit (Miss Limey does, which is how I know), the inaugural season of "Real Housewives of Houston" was shelved because of Brown's assault on his wife, who was the star attraction of the show. I understand that the season was in the can (NTTAWWT), so it may yet surface to give us all an inside view of the madness of this marriage.
They may have to move it from Bravo to HBO, however.

Forgive my ignorance. Bagwell was this woman's boyfriend while she was married, while he was married, while both were married, or while neither were married?
-
I believe Bagwell is no longer married. But, it seems like their relationship was while both were married.
Not sure how this really affects induction into the hall of fame.

From the Chron
When reached today, Erica Bagwell said she filed for divorce from her husband in September 2010.
"I did file for divorce a year ago," Erica told the Houston Chronicle. "It's just not been made public."
-
I can't believe that the news of Bagwell/Erica's divorce stayed under wraps for so long.

I know. You'd think Jeff or Erica would have posted something.

Physical beauty is a prison of sorts. Not only does the possessor become a prisoner of the power to obtain anything that one may desire in life; but it also builds impermeable walls that prevent anyone that one may choose to love from experiencing the true components of one's soul. Human nature can sometimes be the catalyst for introspective thought; it becomes easy for one to beset and strive for the demise of another's dreams when we are aware of our own limits, as the aforementioned being's aspirations serve as a brutal reminder of all that we fear. I think that one's life isn't defined by the people who love them, but by the ones whom they love.
The best part of this story for me (so far), besides being reminded of Shaun Bagwell's fake tits philosophy of life, is that one of the objects Dr. Brown used to try and clock his wife with was a humanitarian award he had won. Just beautiful.
I wonder who the hell awarded it to him?
-
So it seems that at least sometimes Bagwell does bag well.

The whole divorce news sheds some light on the hitting coach situation of last year, and Jeff saying he needed to be with his kids more. I bet there's a chance he's not done in the coaching foray, as he goes and the new routine gets more comfortable.

It's a big win. I figured once the prosecution managed to get the prior wife-beating into evidence, Brown would be toast.
Edit: Looks like they didn't get the prior wife-beating in, but just the fact that he pleaded no contest to an assault charge.
-
Couldn't they have just shown the commercial? I've not read any testimony, seen any evidence, or even taken the time to understand what this trial is about, but I've seen the commercial enough times to know that crazy eyed wacko is guilty as fuck. For god's sake, has anyone checked in on that poor daddy's little girl?

Or the fact that he is a cokehead.

And is a hair club for men reject!

From the jurors comments, they acquitted him because they didn't like her very much.

They didn't believe her when she said she didn't use curse words during the confrontation. That's a weird thing to say.

Kind of like how they acquitted Casey Anthony because they didn't like her father.

It is not possible to underestimate the stupity of a jury.

Different circumstances. The voting jurors in the Anthony trial concentrated on the evidence, or lack thereof, and not on the fact that Casey was a shitty mother. This lot have been saying that they didn't believe that she didn't swear at her husband - because they would have.
This is a new slant in jury selection that prosecutors will have to deal with going forward: finding a jury who think like your main witness.

That Michael Brown seems like one fucked up dude. this shit is disturbing.
Letters to his daughters, which includes this line, "You two are genetically programmed with such___intelligence as to make most cower in disbelief. How, fucking ever you too unfortunately have your mothers genetic constitution to be unbelievably cold hearted bitches...I am sorry for fucking your mother instead of someone else."

CPS should be called in immediately. He should be on supervised visitation only. That is mental child abuse.

He is rumored to be a huge cokehead too, so I am sure that plays into things.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into 1st class (http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2013/02/michael_brown_choking_flight_attendants.php)...
Upon noticing the incident, flight attendant "T.A.T" left the galley to assist "V.E." Brown released "V.E." and grabbed [both flight attendants] around the neck area, using each of his forearms. Brown told [the attendants] that he was going to get naked in front of the passengers and then began making rude sexual comments about what he was going to do to them....

He was for previous divorce settlements, not sure about the latest. Dude is nuts.

Well, it's a weird end to a weird story. Dr. Brown died in hospital today (http://www.click2houston.com/news/sources-dr-michael-brown-dies-after-taken-off-life-support-at-miami-hospital/-/1735978/22870466/-/crt62hz/-/index.html).
I heard on the radio last week, after he had his heart attack, that a concern of many was that he'd stashed away unknown amounts of cash where only he knew how to find it. He may have taken that information with him to his grave.

Enjoy "noted appellate attorney" Brian Wice (http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2013/11/sources_michael_brown_is_dead.php?page=3) (who is a uniquely skilled attorney but is renowned for this type of public statement):
"And his problem, as noted legal sage [Notorious B.I.G] said, 'the more money he had, the more problems'....And unfortunately, there was this lethal mixture of money, alcohol, controlled substances, and women who we probably wouldn't take home for a Shabbat dinner. And the bottom line is that Mike went out on his own terms. And while it's been said that, you know, suicide is the ultimate act of self-indulgence...
...And I just think it's tragic that a divorce that became as toxic as this one did ultimately resulted in a death sentence for him."

There's being destructive, and being functional. We're all nuts, but moving from destructive (as in the late and unlamented Dr. Brown) towards being functional is what we're called to do. Getting beyond functional to contributing is our life's work.

Thank you, Counselor. The thing that I learned about suicide is that it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It is the ultimate selfish act because the impact on those who survive is dramatic and lifelong.
