Relax Avi, how bout a hit.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2017 -> 04:48 AM) I had a girlfriend who lived with me and wanted me to stop. So I did and a week later she had to stop me from leaping off of our balcony at 4am. Luckily I was so asleep I couldn't climb but she heard me rip open the screen to get out there. It's nuts. That sucks. You must really knock yourself out now to sleep deeply. Can you suggest some normal sleep aid? My fitbit says I am restless so much it'd make your head spin.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2017 -> 03:29 AM) My friend who passed last year from cancer had to get it illegally. It was the only thing that helped him. I used to drive it from Chicago or have s*** sent from Denver. It was awful. But that's another discussion. I'd love to see somebody illegally using pot who has cancer get arrested, demand a trial and explain how it helps and see how a jury can convict that person of a crime. You'd have to be a scrooge. Pelphrey has had a good game. Nice.

I like him so far. It "seems" like our team doesn't do as much stupid stuff as the Robin era. And the team shows life at times, etc. I'd give him a B for keeping this gawd awful team near .500. Nice job so far.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2017 -> 03:20 AM) At his age with his joint paint I hope he got some edibles. It would really help. Not to get political, but I think anybody in severe discomfort should be allowed to get stoned. All the time.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2017 -> 03:25 AM) You mean happy when winning and upset when losing? Probably. But is it always that simple?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2017 -> 03:21 AM) Well he's a narcissistic egomaniac. So par for the course. I wonder if he's manic depressive. Some nights he's just a prick. Others he's a delight.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 21, 2017 -> 03:20 AM) Hawk and Wimpy are so good together, it is a shame Hawk ran him out of the booth all those years back That's what I was thinking. That was corny but a good line by Wimpy. "Avi has a weight problem; he can't wait to get up there." Not bad. I'm sure it's been said before many times, but I can't recall it. Good job Wimp.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2017 -> 03:17 AM) How'd you like that I loved it. That ball exploded off his bat and kept rolling. 3-3 for Avi. Damn.

Just a single Avi. Another RBI please.

This could be a wild game. Pelphrey is eventually gonna get hit hard. I say Seattle scores six before game is over, but we should be able to win.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 21, 2017 -> 03:03 AM) Everything in me still says don't buy into Avi.....but it's hard not to. I don't know what the writers and broadcasters think of Avi the person, but I'm assuming he's a prince of a person if he nodded at the Soxtalk poster last night at the game. Also, just watching these games on mlb.com he's always hustled his ass off and has always seemed like he's cared even when butchering balls in right field. What I'm trying to say is ... buy into Avi. If he turns back into Beckham the rest of the season, he'll be gone forever. So root for this man now. It was his last chance this season and he's already earned his paltry little salary. BELIEVE IN AVI. He appears to be a guy worthy of rooting for! Avi baby!

The fact Avi nodded to the poster on here last night makes him one of my faves. Avi Garcia deserves credit no matter what happens the rest of the season. He's already had seven good weeks. People should be on the Avi bandwagon. If one of our young prospects was doing this, people would be having fits of joy. Avi baby! He's one of our best players so do you trade him? We traded Sale. We're gonna trade Q. He is our every day player version of those guys.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 20, 2017 -> 06:14 PM) So excited for Pelfrey and Covey to be out of this rotation. Pelphrey 0-4, 5.70. LOL. Any one of us could have predicted this type of stat line from him. And White Sox scouts and front office executives get this guy to be in the rotation?? Absurd. I mean trot anybody from our AA or AAA team out there, please. I mean if the Sox are publicly tanking or wink wink tanking tell me. But did anybody see Renteria hugging Herm Schneider after the win last night? That was not fake. So apparently we are trying to win. RELEASE PELPHREY for gosh sakes. It's an insult to baseball that he's pitching. Bring some guy in from ANYWHERE to replace him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 20, 2017 -> 07:36 PM) He promised better care, cheaper and covering everyone (at least those already with the ACA). Then he realized it was much more complicated to do so than he previously thought. So is everybody going to be covered or not? Did he flat out lie or not? I want facts not "gotcha" commentary. I want to make up my own mind but nobody can explain these issues a.) in regular simple English or b.) without hatred of Trump clouding the explanation. It's why sports are so fun. Despite the statniks telling me wins and losses and ERA don't matter for pitchers anymore, baseball is cut and dried. Basketball is cut and dried. Healthcare? TOO COMPLICATED.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 19, 2017 -> 01:08 PM) Absolutely the best show I have ever seen. I was blown away by it. Everything about it was masterful and perfect. That's awesome. Glad u loved your experience.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 19, 2017 -> 10:23 PM) That is exactly what everyone should have expected. They certainly weren't going to do anything to make it do anything but fail. Murderers really. Didn't Trump run on the issue that Obamacare sucked and said he would change the system completely?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:42 PM) (CNN)A former Trump campaign aide is requesting that President Donald Trump set up a legal fund to help associates ensnared in the federal probe into Trump campaign contacts with Russia. The ex-staff member, who told CNN he is racking up legal fees after hiring an attorney in order to respond to questions from federal investigators, also said he was never paid for his work for the campaign. He requested anonymity to speak candidly. "In many ways, the Trump associates are the real victims here," the ex-staffer said. "The world (is) going after them and Trump (is) leaving them abandoned on the battlefield," he added. "Yet many lives will be ruined in the process." The White House declined to comment on whether administration officials have issued legal guidance to White House employees. Other former campaign officials said it was difficult to estimate how many staff members have been in contact with federal investigators. "My heart aches," one former campaign official said of ex-staffers who might be caught up in the Russia investigation. http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/20/politics/tru...unds/index.html This one is kind of dumb. If you need an attorney to testify, isn't this world dog eat dog? You pay for your own attorney? If Trump paid for attorney fees wouldn't that be a sign of collusion? This Russia story has its 20 minutes of fame but isn't gonna bring down Trump. If federal investigators want to talk to you, why do you need an attorney? Just tell the truth. If you do need an attorney, this is the real world. You pay for one unfortunately.

Quintana. Robertson. Melky (I despise him but give him credit for the game winning hit) Great victory. Sox must creep back to .500.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:57 AM) Greg will enjoy this....great win for the rebuild Why would anybody root for a loss? There are no fricking guarantees. They could draft a Fulmer or Rodon just as easily as a Trout. It's all a crapshoot. Winning, however, is immediate graitification.

Great great win. Exciting and Wimpy was a pleasure to listen to. GO SOX.

QUOTE (hi8is @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:14 AM) What a fantastic game. Maybe Q gets a 1 hit complete game loss? There is no doubt we're getting walked off folks.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:13 AM) Stop trying to make Anderson a leadoff hitter Agreed

Damn the Sox are gonna get walked off again.

Do you guys honestly believe this is it for Trump? This is not the end. Not enough stuff unless he just decides to quit. Howard Stern was so right in advising him to not stay in the race. Trump is so much fun for the media right now. They are in a race to see who gets the story that will be remembered all time like Watergate. Trump is going down, but the reason has yet to be unveiled. It's gonna take more than this, folks. It will happen, but there has to be more than this.
