But where were Soria and DeJesus celebrating?

Was it at A BASEBALL GAME? Curse those vague AP photo captions!

Even worse

now he’s spread the “just happy to be hear” mentality to Soria, just as he already did to John Buck:

We saw his serious side last night

with that warm embrace of of Freel. I for one prefer the jokester smile.

Soria fooled DDJ into thinking that putting your arm up in the air after a win is a

tradition in Mexico

I think it's awesome

you should leave it in just for me — it’s a guaranteed internal chuckle every time.

Does Halladay have a no trade clause?

Because if I were him, I sure as hell wouldn’t want to go to Texas.

agreed... i lived in texas for four years...

it sucked.

where i'm "day-to-day" but i won't play again happens!

he currently lives in Toronto...

which is in CANADA. remember this. He’s carrying around money with a leaf on it. He’s paying like 45% in total taxes. Get back to the US, TX doesn’t have a state income tax. Texas women are pretty hot. There’s air conditioning for those 100 degree days.

I wonder how his taxes are... since he probably also has maintained a US residencey

and pays prorated state/local taxes for every road game as well

Believe me

he pays taxes up here.

i wonder how much US he's also paying

by royalsreview on Jul 10, 2009 1:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

probably also a lot

must at least file a federal return

if he owns any property in the U.S., he has to pay on that as well

He's getting the double whammy.

Been there done that and I wasn’t making NEARLY as much (obviously).

just to displace all speculation

I developed and delivered customized training to electrical trades and engineers in the automobile manufacturing industry back in the mid to late 90’s and lived in both Oshawa and St. Therese areas while also maintaining condo in Macomb County Michigan. Yes it sucked.

I've heard that this is the case...

MLB players have to pay state taxes in every state they play a game in. That would suck just from a filing standpoint, let alone the expense.

yea...

I think states started going after this about a decade ago

i’m sure all these guys have accountants though

by royalsreview on Jul 10, 2009 1:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

But Royals players have to pay their accountants $1,000/hr

That seems kind of silly

As somebody that travels to a different state for business doesn’t have to worry about paying income tax in the other state.

I live in Canada

It varies by province.

Yeah that's the weird thing and I didn't understand it completely but it didn't matter.

Our office payroll staff did all my taxes for me and they pointed to the amounts and said “pay that much” and I said “fuck” and then just paid it while they were explaining why, and it was going into one ear and out the other. I don’t know how different Quebec was than Ontario in taxes but in atmosphere it was like night and day. I did like the beer though. LABATT’S NOW!
