QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) Yrp. I am sure the medical staff didn't clear him, but to in doesn't care. Why is every player supposed to be treated like a p****? Treat hm like thy are made of glass, an they will be. Guys have o be able to play tired and in pain. True, but our team has been out of the race for so long it's normal to suggest giving him a day off when he has a problem the night before and looks gassed.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) You don't really care about the military. Dad: Military; Favorite uncle: Military. Cousin: Military. All three: Would slap me or disown me if I did what Colin did. Cops: Think of all the cops who were heroes on 9-11. Yes there are bad apples. But almost all professions have bad apples. I am Catholic and love my Franciscan priests, but how bout all those priests who did unspeakable terrible things? How bout Boy Scout leaders and teachers who do bad things? How bout cemetary workers who do bad things? How bout doctors and folks in charge of old folks homes who have done bad things? The world is full of bad people in every profession but also good people. Colin could have gotten criticized a lot more for what he did. Remember poor Gabby Douglas? For some reason people blasted her more for being one of five gymnasts to not put her hand over her heart than Colin who slapped the military in the face on purpose.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) Attack Mexican-Americans and attract attention to yourself -- gain votes in primary. Attack Muslims and attract attention to yourself -- gain votes in primary Attack Blacks and attract attention to yourself -- gain votes in primary. Attack people with disabilities and attract attention to yourself -- gain votes in primary. Attack white people and attract attention to yourself -- "it's about the most selfish thing he could do to a team, thrust all the attention on himself. Disgraceful." Well, I don't know what to say. I haven't used this much in my arguments, but Colin's behavior is hard to take seriously when he had those socks calling police pigs. Almost all NFL coaches have that "one for all" attitude and I don't see how Colin saying "look at me" can help any team cause. I hate the cliches but I imagine his coach is pissed beyond belief with one guy going off on his own like that. Do it in the offseason if you have to do it at all. Besides, he did offend the military. A lot of military have died protecting freedom. Those military members treat the anthem with utmost respect.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 02:14 PM) Hillary should have stayed in the shadows. What a moronic comment to make. You may not agree with someone's views but it's America, and if someone wants to be "deplorable" that's their prerogative. She should like you say, but can't stay in the shadows forever. My guess is she started believing her press clippings, that she is the runaway winner over this buffoon/evil man Trump and finally relaxed a bit by making herself media accessible last week and in that relaxed state her real personality came out. She is not a saint, folks, she is a very rich, entitled person with a very big ego.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 05:04 PM) Why laugh when those 2 articles suggest Chelsea might run? Why laugh when we know we're more apt to elect Democrats than Republicans to the oval office? Why laugh when we're in a day and age you don't have to have any political experience to run? Why laugh when Chelsea seems to (finally) be enjoying being in the public eye and hearing her own voice in interviews? Finally why laugh when a large segment of Americans think it's the Clinton's duty/right to serve as President?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) https://twitter.com/zgazda66/status/774993814025011200 HRC fainting in NYC. I don't know if Americans care or not, but Hillary's health seems to be something worth discussing. I wish Hillary and everyone good health. I despise her but I don't want her to be in poor health. She had some kind of issue today for sure.

Well, the Sox have helped turn KC's season around 3-4 times this year already. KC winning 2 of 3 would probably classify as doing that again. I think KC had lost six of nine before the Sox bullpen blew yesterday's game again.

The Sox could use a serviceable bullpen for once. Do you realize they've blown leads late in almost all the losses to KC this year? Beck yesterday just got hammered by a stumbling KC team. Until the Sox get some bullpen guys who can get people out and/or starters who can pitch into the 8th you are looking at this trainwreck of a team. The defense did seem a little better this year.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 12:32 AM) Saladino is not an upgrade on Lawrie. More of a lateral move. And you're probably not getting major league ready talent back for Lawrie or Frazier so how exactly does that help us next year? Starting an unproven question mark at catcher is also a bad idea for a team that intends on contending. If this team actually plans on contending I don't want another year of relying on maybes and probably nots. Our lineup is far from good for next year. But please stop. Lawrie must go. Saladino must stay. Trade Lawrie along with several other guys like Avi, Melky.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 01:48 AM) Over an entire season I don't see him as being an upgrade over Lawrie yet. But he is a nice player to have. It's really too bad he can't play the outfield to be used as a super sub kind of like Jurickson Profar. OMG. Lawrie is a joke. Get rid of him and give the job to Saladino. Can't you people see he can hit???? QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 02:14 AM) Greg, he's a 746 career ops guy in the minors and still just 663 for the Sox. He could be a 725ish guy (like now, playing against the most favorable matchups) but it's a crapshoot. Anderson does seem to play well with him, but I wouldn't depend on him and then envision that as a playoff team. He's perfectly suited as a super-utility player on a much better team. Utility player? Please. At some point don't you guys trust your EYES? He is a fricking stud and a team player. You watch him when he gets on base? You watch him LEAD? I'm just sick the Sox will never make him a regular.

OMG, many of you have screamed at me and told me to stop mentioning Chelsea for the Presidency. Hmmm ... Greg isn't as fricking dumb as you think. Now it's on CNN!! She will not discount her political aspirations and already has Bill's support. Great. ... http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/...r-the-long-run/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/...nancy-president 16 straight years of Clinton rule, folks. Let's hope the Clintons know what they are doing.

How can you support this person for President? She agrees to be accessible one week and offends millions of people. Hopefully Hillary's insulting all these people will cost her dearly in the polls. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/10/politics/hil...s-donald-trump/

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) Nah, we should just keep pretending nothing is wrong. That only allowed NK to obtain and test nuclear materials. No harm there. Great post! We have to do something big. Rodman's buddy is VERY dangerous, folks. He will lob a nuke at somebody at some time, you can bet on it.

LOL. I do a google search on Chelsea and get this predictable story. The women of the View helping Hillary out with softball questions to Chelsea. What they did to McCain that one year was criminal, Whoopi asking him if she had to worry about being a slave again if he wins. Thank goodness I don't watch the View. I just betcha they asked her about her own presidential aspirations. Hell, why not make sure Hillary gets 8 years then Chelsea eight more. For the life of me I do not know why Whoopi thinks Hillary fricking Clinton is the answer to problems of African Americans. A rich elitist and black America just worships her. http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-gr...and-trustworthy

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 01:34 AM) I'm all in on Saladino at 2B next season. He's just a smart,sound MLB player and the Sox shouldn't waste him letting him rot on the bench as utility next year. Sox are too dumb to play Saladino regularly. Anybody with half a brain can see he is an everyday player and a fricking stud. He plays the game the right way, always encouraging teammates, bashing the f***ing baseball all over the park. Get rid of Lawrie now!!! Saladino is the man; Lawrie is NOT! Again ... Sox are too stupid to play Saladino. It's their loss.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) She said half of his supporters. To imply that many Americans are irredeemable is a pretty toxic statement from someone running for President. Apparently she agrees because she is already trying to walk it back. No doubt this is gonna hurt her in the polls, she didnt need this. She's elitist for sure. I'm shocked people can't figure this out. Her popularity is baffling. She's not out to help anybody not named Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and I'm sorry her son in law's name escapes me and her grandkid's name escapes me. Aside from those five, forget about it.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 30, 2016 -> 06:58 PM) Someone do doesn't want to pay $12-15M AAV for the likes of Brett Anderson, Clay Bucholz, Andrew Cashner, Jeremy Hellickson, Derek Holland, Rich Hill, etc. Shields will be tough to move, but if the Sox are willing to give him away (I suspect they will be), I bet he could be moved including much cash. $10M AAV is below the going rate for a back rotation innings eater. Inning eater? LOL. Yeah if you pitch him six he'll give up seven (runs).

Glad to see him pitching well and competing hard. Screaming on the mound. Nice. Means little though cause our team only plays well when the pressure is off. Love Rodon though.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 04:58 AM) Since when was Obama an atheist? She's not president yet. As for Kennedy, if you know your history, the JCS wanted to do exactly that during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He learned from the Bay of Pigs to exercise restraint and do the exact opposite, following his brother's advice. They received two conflicting telexes from Moscow, and deliberately disregarded the one that was basically a declaration of war because they couldn't be sure who was actually in charge. I'd say the odds of her being President are 99 percent. And the odds of her winning a second term are 99 percent. The odds of Chelsea probably 60 percent only because I'm not sure she wants it. I wonder if Mrs. Obama has any interest at all or if she's not into the political thing.

The Brother Rice boys mauled Aurora Christian tonight. So it's 3-0. Should be interesting to see if the Crusaders keep winning.

Read an article today about Hillary's appearance in KC this week. Officials expected a sellout crowd in one of the downtown theatres, maybe it was The Midland, I forget. Anyhow, the crowd was so bad they put up a big curtain or something. It shows again how America doesn't give a bleep about Hillary Clinton. The crowd on a beautiful day in downtown KC was MISERABLE. BTW, in reading the story, she was speaking to some religious leaders as well who sponsored the rally. I know we have a lot of religion haters on here. You religion haters will not be pleased to learn Hillary quoted the Bible EXTENSIVELY in her long speech and mentioned God a lot and also said she was humble that she's been saved. So Greg does despise Hillary, but I am happy our President is a believer. GO SOX!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 05:48 PM) I'd vote for either of those guys over any of the entire 2016 Presidential field. I wish McCain would have run.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 06:31 PM) The problem that this has been a situation that has been festering for a long time now, and what we are doing isn't working. Exactly. I am very worried about NK starting a nuclear war. Their leader is dumb enough and has a big ego. They kill government leaders all the time in NK. Rodman's buddy would probably love to start a nuclear war at some point for the history books. Ego. QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) So what increased response from the US is necessary here? NK has been sanctioned into oblivion. An actual invasion is WWIII. I'm sure that the US is putting diplomatic pressure on China for a stronger response from their end. What would you like for the US to do here? I would like Obama to tell them if they test a nuke again, we're coming over and either they give us the nukes or we bomb the hell out of them. Threaten NK, Mr. Obama. Kennedy would have.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 04:14 AM) That might have something to do with the fact the Sox have been out of contention for months. I said earlier in the year he will be Semien 2.0 with how he gets handled. Good call, soxforlife. You called it. The Sox scouts and talent evaluators are a joke. I see a real hitter; a real baseball player in Saladino. The Sox brass sees a stiff. Sad.
