  1. Live In Australia. Bleeped here. Stole the show it’s all anybody is talking about from the Tonys
  2. I actually worship De Niro. Love his movies! Fockers stuff is funny and the early stuff. Love him. But ... this sets a bad example for kids. On TV saying F--K is not good.
  3. I'm talking about human decency, nothing else. A big bad old movie star saying F--K on TV and not getting in trouble. And a whole arena standing and applauding. So all those adults in the crowd ... are you OK with your 12 year old son copying Bobby DeNiro and as valedictorian start your speech with F--K Trump!! Are school officials OK with this in the valedictorian speeches? Why not? He got a standing ovation on TV and NO REPRIMANDS at all cept from the Trumpie kooks on Twitter. Sickening behavior.
  4. This getting rid of guys before they are too old is only a new modern stat-lover phenomenon you realize? Even the end of Paulie's career was not like this. He got lousy; he retired. Now all people do is project how anybody over 30, 32 is going to age. Even if the person is a star at 32, there is serious concern about ensuing seasons. It used to be if you were a star at 32, fans would relax and applaud, applaud applaud the player every year. Now it's a serious concern that we're better off getting rid of him lest he age poorly. Of course the same Sox fans who are worried sick about Abreu aging and want to get rid of him in lieu of giving him a big-buck contract think some other team is going to sign him to that big-buck contract. So some teams are worried to death about age and others are not? What a sick sports world we now live in. If he's a star at 32 let him continue being a star and if you waste money on him, so be it. The White Sox owners are raking in $$$$s.
  5. So Robert De Niro of all people throws a fit at the Tony Awards and on national TV says "F--k Trump" twice and the crowd goes berserk and gives a standing ovation. How is this acceptable behavior? No reprimand from the network yet? What if some awards presenter screamed, "I've been meaning to get this off my chest ... F--k Hillary and F--k Obama!" My guess is that person would be blacklisted forever from Hollywood. What is with the temper tantrum Mr. De Niro? And what is with no backlash, no reprimands, only a standing ovation and the only criticism is from Trumpie kooks on Twitter. DeNiro was out of line and should be banned from all shows on CBS forevermore. And you know the producers of the Tony's and CBS knew he was going to say something radical in having him on the show. He's done it before. How is this healthy? More devisiveness and negativity at the fricking Tony Awards?? Mr. De Niro and his family should be ashamed. A little baby temper tantrum against the evil Donald Trump. So the left approves so no Roseanne-like reprimands? Weird and sad. Can any Soxtalker condone this behavior? It is unacceptable.
  6. I'm just saying if any of the prospects produce as Abreu has, people should consider them runaway success stories. I'm so sick of sports fans only caring about the unknown. Abreu is a proven star for gawd sakes.
  7. You don't need experience anymore. It's probably going to be Trump vs. Oprah remember?
  8. I said 48 or 49 wins.
  9. That's why I think this rebuild is tricky. Are we gonna waste two or three seasons on Lopez's arm? Wear and tear as we lose? These pitchers have a short shelf life nowadays with surgery imminent. I'd prefer we speed the rebuild while some of these pitchers still have live arms.
  10. Are you serious? Teams won't fall for a Coop-induced stretch of excellence from Soria. No GM is going to take on his salary when you consider what you are getting. A guy who can turn into a stiff at a moment's notice. He's doing a nice job now but Soria is the kind of guy who could turn a contender into a pretender in a hurry through buzzkill. If Hahn can get anything useful for Soria, that would be good but I'm not hopeful. All this Abreu talk (not by you) is so damn stupid. Why trade one of the best players in the damn league?? A guy everybody on the team fricking LOVES? If Hahn trades him he has rocks for brains. Shields? Dump him ASAP. Not hopeful for that though. Jones? By all means trade him if you can.
  11. Does Trump ever meet the press in press conference settings or just talk to his buddy on that late night show, I forget his name? I feel like those daily sessions with Sarah Sanders are kind of useless. I did find her a rock star in this interview however. Chris Cuomo tried and tried and she wouldn't bite on his question. Thing is, who cares what some spokesperson thinks? If you can't get Trump to talk it all seems a waste of time. Do press secretaries ever say anything of value?
  12. No still 48 or 49.
  13. I couldn't watch tonight, was stunned to see us win 1-0 in Boston. Even with Covey resembling Tom Seaver in his prime, I'd never think the pathetic Sox could hold that lead with its pen. But alas the pen is on a roll. So either Coop is a genius again or the bullpen is just having a nice stretch. There's no way possible you could envision a victory tonight. Congratulations Sox, beating the other Sox on the road in a full stadium. Impossible I say. Covey baby.

    Covey ... a true bright spot. Hope he keeps it up. He's quite a story. Good job tonight Mr. Covey.
  15. You got wood bats in MLB. This guy obviously doesn't elevate. If he tries to hit home runs he'll have to reinvent himself.
  16. The guy has three home runs. It's silly to talk about him blasting 15-20 a season in MLB. That's fine. Not everybody has to mash home runs. But it's dumb to project home runs when he can't hit them with college bats.
  17. Not elite? You are going to be disappointed when most of our prospects don't produce as much as Abreu.
  18. Can anybody see the ball go in the cup? She said it bounced from behind her. I can't see it go in the cup but I cannot understand how it didn't splash?? The beer was almost full, more than 3/4 full. First I thought it was a fake but then I see the fans around her going wild so it must have happened. How no splash?
  19. Today I was checking out at Hi Vee and a transgendered person was the cashier. The two people before me were mean to the cashier. I was exceedingly friendly without making it obvious I knew she was a guy. You guys blast me for intolerance but I am more tolerant than 95 percent of people in such situations. Most stare and say stupid things.
  20. The eye test tells us all we need to kno about Thompson. Poor guy is finished. No more chances.
  21. I love you el rockin but hammies are tough; he might be hurt all season. All that starting and stopping. Maybe ptatc can fill us in. Avi had reverted back to crap before he was hurt. I worship Avi and if the injury affected him prior to the DL, my bad, but I'm concerned he was a one-year wonder. It's his fault basically. He has all the talent in the world.
  22. Abreu's defense may stink, but we're used to it at least. Why do people think Davidson will be a better defender at first than Jose? There's absolutely no reason to think that.
  23. Yeah, poor Trayce is done as a big leaguer. Independent league is coming soon. I'm afraid Tilson looks like he can't hit either. Engel is likely another guy headed to independent league baseball pretty soon. This is an unforgiving sport.
  24. I liked what he said. Some folks can't stand losing and our team is all about tanking.
  25. He fixed Shields (for a few starts) and appears to have fixed Soria.
