Three hits tonight?! Again ... point to this game and a dozen or more games like it if you are ever feeling like we're CLOSE to contending. Sox gots no bats. Get to work on a new master plan, Mr. Hahn.

And Bob Dole was too mean to be president? How's she pulling it off? http://thefederalist.com/2015/06/01/watch-...ry-for-a-favor/

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 26, 2015 -> 02:54 AM) Why? Lots of blown saves. Terrible offense. Terrible defense. Terrible baserunning. Too many mental mistakes. Inconsistent execution. Lack of clear leadership and vision organizationally. Good points Caulfield. Also I forgot. Whenever the Sox get to where they are playing meaningful games, oh boy, they do not show up.

I see Trump got booed for saying Cruz looked like a clown. He also went after one candidate for sweating way too much. Tick tick tick ... his 20 minutes of fame hourglass has begun its downward cycle for sure. Trump's strategy for a brilliant businessman at this point is puzzling. He has to know he was riding high early cause he was the fresh new voice, barking out great one-liners, taking no s*** from anybody. But like any 'good' thing, his mean, cruel schtick starts to wear. If Donnie was smart, he'd have rode that popularity and backed off for a while. You got to keep 'em wanting for more and Trump is starting to wear on the people. Dumb strategy. Let Florina and the others flap their gums for a couple months and go to New Hampshire and Iowa and shake some hands a couple days a week MAXIMUM. Do any of you politicos agree with me on this? Whether you like DT or not, isn't his strategy of all Trump all the time on TV kinda lunatic-ish if u wanna win a nomination/election? He did a fine job hopping to the head of the pack, but unless he backs off BIG TIME the regression in Greg's opinion is forthcoming!!!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 09:43 PM) I just can't get over your bizarre takes lately. Obama's Presidency? This is Congress - which is even more dysfunctional than the White House. Nothing is even reaching the President's desk. True dat about Congress. I guess I'm despondent about the whole situation with our government. Nothing hardly ever gets done. Obama seems to thrown up his hands about his relationship with the Repubs even before the last election. With Hillary on the horizon I guess I'm depressed at the future of our government.

I think we need to sign this guy pronto. Sox need players.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 11:57 PM) Makes perfect sense, especially if you think Eaton has peaked, which I do. I don't like him long term for this team unless we decide to sign a bunch of boppers. He's still young. Why has he peaked?

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 26, 2015 -> 03:22 AM) Sox 15-8 in Rodon starts. If you were given this figure in March, is there any doubt you would think the Sox were going to make the playoffs? Probably. It remains odd that the Sox have pretty darn good starting rotation and yet suck as a team.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) Do you seriously not understand the difference between "questioning" (which no one is criticizing), and simply saying "the hoax" the way you have as if it were fact? When there is still no actual evidence of such a thing? Saying it over and over doesn't make it more true. Sorry. I should have used another word. Like alleged.

Say what you want about the horses*** Royals organization, but they've made the playoffs 2 years in a row now. Will there come a time the Sox are dominant again? And to those who say I'm a closet Royals fan I again turned down free tickets in mezzanine level with that same group of friends because I see no point in watching a game of a team I don't care about. Give me the Sox or give me no ball in person.

How come Obama's presidency has been stock full of these government shutdown incidents? Growing old. Our country needs something good to happen. The pope's visit wasn't enough. This country is really in the doldrums right now economically and culturally.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 12:58 PM) Again... zero evidence. None. Stop it. I can stop, but I'm far from the only person questioning severely this whole thing. http://dailycaller.com/2015/09/25/clock-ki...ly-traumatized/

QUOTE (MEANS @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) knew that was the real reason you brought this up It's a pretty good listen. She doesn't bash the Demos the whole show. Good politics without the shouting.

It's not a bad trip. Stay at one of the major hotels down by the Riverwalk. The Mexican food joints down by the Riverwalk are not bad at all. There are some bars on the Riverwalk and a Hooters as I recall. The Alamo is cool and there are some neat old buildings. I'd take one of those bus tours of the city and make sure you stay down by the Riverwalk. I think there are 2 Marriott chain hotels down there that are fine.

Has anybody listened to Meghan McCain's radio talk show on America Now radio? It appears on one of the major KC area radio stations (980) Monday-Friday in the early evening hours here, and I think it's good talk radio. Why? She gets name and no-name guests and they talk politics and I've yet to hear the annoying screaming and talking over each other bulls*** that pervades almost all political talk shows. I can't watch those shows on cable TV, like Chris Matthews' show; like O'Reilly's show because it drives me crazy when guests scream over each other. I just can't take it. I was watching a clip of that former actor on MASH, Wayne Rogers, appearing on one of the shout-over-each-other political shows on FOX I believe or CNN and he finally gave up because whenever he started answering a question of the panel 2-3 others started screaming and he simple couldn't complete a sentence without some idiot talking over him. I don't know why that has become a popular format -- get 3-4 guests, put a question out there and the winner is whomever screams the loudest to get the floor. Sickening. McCain's show, no matter your affiliation, is informative cause there is civil discourse. For what it's worth, she favors Florina and does not like Trump. She also stood up for Cruz tonight. And she's a Hillary hater.

Adam Eaton is still only 26. He was a lower round draft pick which means he's an overachiever in baseball terms. The fact he's got his average up to .283 means he's had two pretty good offensive seasons in a row. So are you happy he looks like he'll be the Sox CF for at least the next 5-6 seasons? Did he gain so much more experience this year he'll be an all-star candidate in seasons to come? I will give him credit. I despised him earlier this season but now must give him props it looks like.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 24, 2015 -> 08:10 PM) She will never win the presidency (and not, not because she was a women, but because of all the layoffs she had, etc...they will hammer her like the democrats hammered her in California). I also would point out I think in many cases a mediocre CEO is probably far better prepared to be a president and far smarter then most of our presidents. But I digress cause most normal CEO's would never want to be president. Exactly. I can't understand why she's wasting her time when her record as an executive dooms her from the start.

A lot of smart people got fooled by the Ahmed hoax. The kid and his family wins, being on every talk show known to man. Remember, school rules may be awful but they are the same everywhere now. Remember the little kid accosted n suspended cause his pop tart looked like a gun? How bout the kid who wrote a story about shooting a dinosauer with a gun?? That kid was suspended and treated like a criminal. This is happening all over. This was a media creation story and Ahmed's 20 minutes of fame are slowing ticking away. He's close to being old news unless daddy does something stupid. http://dailycaller.com/2015/09/21/did-amer...-and-his-clock/

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 09:54 PM) or this looks more and more like a setup, whereby they are using Ahmed to avenge the sister's slight. Hmmm, seems the mayor and police and school are just daring the media to please please dig deeper into this. Cmon folks, the dad is an activist guy and this is all fishy stuff. The National Review agrees with Greg on this, that there should not have been a rush to print one side of this story. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/ahmed...tive-ian-tuttle http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/20...-years-earlier/

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) Walker was a joke intellectually. Kasich, Rubio and Christie would all do pretty well imo. Finally, you (theoretically) should be happy with Cruz, Huckabee and Santorum as well, as God would be mentioned every day by them. The Clintons and Obamas hardly ever speak about religion, comparatively. Yet Jimmy Carter mentions God a lot, bless the man! I don't need my President to mention God a ton but I do respect Jimmy's stance. Once these secondary candidates emerge I'll have to examine their positions. I'm still most interested in the 15 minutes of fame candidates: Bernie, Donnie Trump, the Surgeon and Carly. I'll get around to learning about the others.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 11:44 PM) Greg, we get it. You are sexist. Give it a rest. I'm not a sexist. I mean look, Carly ruined HP and I don't like these big-time CEOs of companies that get paid zillions of dollars when the little guy gets much less. Hillary? Geez. There are so many examples of her being just an elitist-type mean person. I don't want her in the White House, sorry. And ooops add Sarah Palin to my dislike/hate list. I mean I just don't like anything bout her, either. From her policies to her demeanor, me no likey Palin. Now Elizabeth Dole?? I love her. Class act. Wonderful! Give me some more choices. Not Florina and Hilly for gosh sakes. I respect many many people on soxtalk. I just don't see how anybody who likes a good hot dog and beer and ballgame, a down and dirty Chicago southsider, can be for somebody who comes across as so non-chicago as Hilly! Again, I will support women! Just not Hilly/Florina/Sarah.

Oops. I saw the score and figured my boy Danks is runnin out of gas this season. But it was Montas who had the ugly line. Oh well. Melky with one of his good games. As a Melky hater I'll give him credit. He's had 5-10 really good games this year. I'll tell u one thing. In year two with the Sox, Melky and LaRoche better remove markedly or our lineup will blow chunks again!

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 09:25 PM) Also, Nixon/LBJ/TR, probably wilson too Please make Hillary go away! Just retire, Hillary. Relax and enjoy your money. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/hillary-c...9/23/id/692921/

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 05:22 PM) Are you saying Greg doesnt have "faith" Gage? I have faith but do not think this story is as cut and dried as the media portrayed it. Nobody is demanding the full story in the media. Nobody is being fair to the police/school. http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/local/dalla...ident/72647922/

The Republicans have all these joke candidates who are getting their 15 minutes. First Trump now Florina. Will they even have a nominee by the time this is over? Florina is beyond bad candidate; and Donnie is a caricature/clown. Nobody wants the surgeon cept Greg. None of those next eight candidates are any good. WOW.
