Is Johnson the answer? Should we all be voting for him?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 01:55 AM) No more corrupt than the average politician, probably less so given how many investigations she's been subjected to that have found no wrongdoing. Just look at the latest string of them: up to about a baker's dozen House committees investigating Benghazi that completely unsurprisingly have found nothing, more recently a bunch of reports about how Huma blew off some people asking for special access and how scandalous it was for Clinton to meet with a nobel peace prize/presidential/congressional medal winner. Feel free to list specifics if you want, but since you already went to the Whitewater well, I don't have high hopes. She is so corrupt it is beyond belief. I mean it's not often a sure fire bet to win is as corrupt as Hillary. It is simply unbelievable she is going to be our President with her lies and her foundation and her past.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 12:33 AM) Alexei was a 4 fWAR player in his prime. Give the guy some more credit. He was a damn fine ballplayer. He was damn good. We tend to bury our own on here. That play Anderson made the other day in the hole to his right was amazing. He barely missed throwing the guy out. Had he made the play it mighta been one of the best I've ever seen a ss make.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 03:50 AM) Jose starts finally producing when it doesn't matter and people keep calling me out? Too bad he couldn't do it back when it mattered. I'll reiterate what I've previously said. Jose isn't what we thought he was. The league adjusted to him after his rookie year. He is a mid-tier first baseman. He stunk early, but who cares? The body of work is stellar. Whether or not you are trolling is debatable. If not, I'll just say the league has not conclusively adjusted to him. How can you say that when he's hitting .300 with almost 30 homers?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 01:09 AM) Watch more baseball. Why so mean? QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 01:25 AM) Jose is the best. Has kept head down in that insane clubhouse, always gracious. Nice. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 02:35 AM) Soft spoken, extremely friendly. Courteous. A bit star struck sometimes. Strong handshake. Will attempt to speak what little English he knows for the sake of an interviewer. Sounds good.

Very sorry to hear the news of your dad's passing. Peace to your heart in times of turmoil.

Ferentz probably has a clause he can be fired for NCAA violations. So might as well wrap him up to end his career there. He's kind of like Snyder at K-State. You aren't going to do better than Kirk so why not tie him up?

I wonder what kind of person Jose is. Salt of the earth? Good guy? Lazy? A dick? I know nothing about him. He's obviously having one helluva year thanks to his second-half tear (when we were out of the race). He's an all star right now. I'm not blasting him, just curious if he's one of the top five hitters in the AL or what we've got here??

You guys can rip me all you want, but I love Saladino. Probably my favorite position player on the team. He's a regular in the big leagues folks. Too bad he can't catch. He'd be a good bat for a catcher IMO.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 10:02 PM) Robertson going on a 4th straight day. Again, not a fan of this decision. Winning or losing isn't as important right now as keeping the assets healthy. Good point. Great point. But I don't know how much of an 'asset' he is any more. He sort of blows.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 04:39 AM) What a perfect 5th starter he would be for us. How do we shed Shields and grab a threeish-type guy to slide into the 4 role? That's the trick for Hahn & Co. Sale- 1 Quintana- 1.25 Rodon- 3.5 New Guy- 3.5 Gonzalez- 4.5 That's nails. That's not nails if Rodon and Shields suck. Rodon is not guaranteed to get guys out for six, seven innings and Shields can't do it. That leaves two studs and three question marks at best.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 04:06 AM) Nice win. Omar had a nice game as catcher Is Omar for real? That was a nice win, but the fans deserved a clutch hit from Abreu or Frazier late to make it 4-0.

Sweet. Salty couldn't handle the fastball.

The Sox fans they show look very bored, yet concerned at the same time.

I'm starting to get mad. If we lose this game I may erupt like Mt. Vesuvius (sp).

Royals up 6-3. Can they make the playoffs?

One out; nice stop, Omar.

That's about as good a play a shortstop can make.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 03:53 AM) Is Robertson going to blow this game? You never know. We're due to win a game vs. Detroit though.

Cool. That was foul. But it was really crushed.

Those at bats by Abreu and Frazier really sucked. Why oh why no contact with second and third one out?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 5, 2016 -> 07:29 AM) This isn't just at Cubs games...This is literally EVERYWHERE in today' society. As a 25 year old I hate going out with people taking pics and videos and just sitting on their phone. Live in the moment. Soxfan2014 tell me more. I know a lot of older people who are using their phones more and more but I'd like to know about 25 year olds. If you are at a bar drinking, are all the people you are with texting and checking websites on their phones the entire time at the bar? If you go to a ballgame is it texting the whole game? Is texting/surfing the iphone the single most important reason 25 year olds get up in the morning? Are all addicted to their phones? Thanx.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 06:55 PM) Trump and Clinton were both speaking at same time. Guess which was covered? Clinton in hiding again. As long as Hillary has a big lead, the liberal media will avoid covering her. If she needs a boost or help, they'll come around. Otherwise they just keep covering/mocking Donald.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) Throwing straight at the 10 pin is the proper way to hit it. If you’re using a spare ball that doesn’t hook and shooting straight at it, you shouldn’t have too many problems. I just recently started using a plastic ball for picking up my 10-pins and it works great. Even if I put a little spin on it, it doesn’t hook at all. Where do you stand to throw the straight ball at the 10 pin? On the right side and just try to throw it straight to the left of the gutter? Or do I count my nine lines to the left and just aim at the 10?

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 03:39 AM) The Sox won't be releasing him (yet) for two reasons first off: 1. He's owed a s*** load of money. 2. JR doesn't like to pay people that amount to NOT work (even if they suck). Releasing him would be the largest amount ever eaten by the franchise if memory serves. Why do you think they hung on to Dunn two years longer before letting him go? (Answer: money owed...), or Danks (Answer: money owed) The bottom line is short of a front office change, Shields isn't going anywhere unless he retires himself. Also don't underestimate the fact that if Kenny Hahn releases him with all that money owed it's like sending up an exploding rocket signaling how bad of a judgment they have in these matters. Mark Well, if he insists on not retiring, our only option is to make him the new Albers. Hope he can get a few guys out now and then.
