QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 07:57 PM) Actually, the pretty much get their room keys immediately upon entering the hotel. This isn't like normal people checking in. Its a lot faster turnaround than 3 hours upon landing, checking into their rooms. Room Keys, room keys?? You gotta be kidding me, room keys are used at Red Roof Inns or Motel 6, not high end hotels. Man open your mouth and we have a good laugh here. And States Inn Keeper laws require EVERY guest to sign a register, paper or electronic and present ID. No more dealing with you. Thanks for the laughs. I don't know a lot about a lot of things but hotels I know.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:44 PM) LOL. I love the bigshot gambler who says he "almost" went to the sports book. As I stated why did it take over 3 hours to get from Logan airport to their hotel which normally takes about 20 minutes at most? What other players were on the charter? Dunn has fanned twice. I almost went because I don't gamble. But once again s*** disguised as thought came out of your mouth instead of your asshole.

QUOTE (mike89128 @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:40 PM) That's the reason most of you betters lose bets. Dunn and a few other players flew on a charter earlier in the day, they didn't like the late evening take-off. Know the facts first. You think a minimum of 45 people just arrive at a hotel and get to their rooms immediately? It takes two room clerks about 3 minutes per guest, even with groups, to check them in. Forty five people, minimum, takes a little over two hours, plus unload time from plane, travel time to the hotel, if the bus is waiting, wait for the bus to unload personal luggage,

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:38 PM) First off I don't know why it would take them 3:15 to get from the airport to the hotel. Secondly, these guys are used to being up until 3. They could get their 8 hours in and it isn't even noon. Dunn went out to dinner with Peavy last night, pretty odd if he didn't get to the hotel until 3 am. That's the reason most of you betters lose bets. Dunn and a few other players flew on a charter earlier in the day, they didn't like the late evening take-off. Know the facts first.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:23 PM) Hawk and Stone thinks it's time to shut down Santiago for the season. I absolutely agree with this. Almost went to the Casino sports book to bet against the WS. Yesterday was a off day. So, instead of flying out right after the Astros game, they decided to wait until yesterday. Their flight didn't get into Logan until 11:45 PM, into bed around 3 AM. These guys are tired. Real smart move by the traveling secretary.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:21 PM) I know he's not close on these pitches, but Phegley needs to improve how he frames pitches. Santiago is pitching from the center of the rubber, needs to move to left edge. Catch needed to call outside pitches.

Gammons is on NESN broadcast just told the story of Baltimore players paying all expenses for the bat boys and club house kids on their recent 3 city road trip. Gave the kids major league meal money. Class Act.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 05:40 PM) pretty heads up I hate Boston's slow game tactics. First inning took 27 minutes with no scoring. Pedroia took 22 seconds between each pitch..

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 05:24 PM) The dreaded leadoff walks did not prove to be so dreaded. I truly hope that piece of caca at SS is playing his last games in a white Sox uniform. Dempster can't find home plate with radar and dumbass swings at the first pitch into a DP. However it doesn't surprise me. Ramerez swings at the first pitch 69% of the time, which explains a lot.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 10:40 PM) Oh darn...does Avi ever make contact when he takes his home run swing? When are Sox hitters going to learn on a 3-2 count not to take a close pitch with the game on the line??

Memo to Houston Announcers: There's a game going on below you, get your faces out of tweeter and watch the game.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) This is one sloppy game. Think the Sox have found every way to give away a game.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 06:46 PM) Keppinger sucks so bad . If the Houston color man keeps up that phony laugh, I'm calling couple of da boys.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 06:21 PM) De Aza with an awful baserunning play. What's left to be said? He stinks as a baserunner. The first baseman was closer to home plate than De Aza.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 08:56 PM) You know, even though it's Harold Reynolds, he might have a point there. Particularly if you're going to send up Keppinger, a guy who is supposed to put the ball in play somewhere, why not? With Garcia on third he could have tried the suicide bunt.
