LDF

what gets me, and i am making a point in saying, i am always looking to see the other side of the coin. no one is mentioning on how the teams, Balt and DC is splitting the revenue.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 12:21 AM) I like Nieto but has pitch framing and contact rate have miles to go before he's a league average backup catcher. I think he'll have a decent 5-7 year MLB career but it won't be as anything more than a backup. as far as i can tell, maybe it is my skepticism, but i see him as a backup at best.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 01:55 AM) Probably regretting the Haren move at this point. Josh Beckett out of retirement? things are not helping when our own prospect screw up with a bad pitching performance.

people are always going to find many who just join the rioters for material gain. that is what cheapens the point for the protest.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 12:49 AM) Usually what happens when you go after super toolsy guys that need a lot of refining (Thompson, Anderson, Hawkins). High ceiling, very low floors for all 3 of them when they were drafted. am i wrong in thinking, that Mitchell should be in that group???

QUOTE (OnlyGillis @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:46 PM) As discussed on Boston radio ... two years ago no Red Sox pitcher wanted to throw to Salty. Farrell benched him in the World Series after game 3 and they won the last 3 games with David Ross. Salty is a stiff ... and there is no double meaning there despite the fact that he married his high school gym teacher who is 14 years older than him. At the time he was 19. why??

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 12:15 AM) Here's another version of the recent history of this police force compiled just via press reports. really nice find. back to baseball for a question, what happens if this craps continues thru tomorrow. i wonder what backup plans mlb has in store. you know as well as i that they are sure discussing this.

oh i can't wait for Adams and Fry to start where they left off last yr. this yr results are nothing but a minor blip.

an unharmed prisoner in police custody who was killed by police. that is all that i know. sorry there.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 12:05 AM) LDF are you in Baltimore? Sorry for my reading comprehension skills. If so ... are you stuck at work? Is it really a war zone? Take care. nah... been retired due to heart problems. i live in LA, and just in case those who thinks it is cali, i mean LA the state, next to TX.

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:49 PM) It's not like he was a scrub before last season. In 2013 at A+ he slashed .285 .373 .449 .821 at the age of 23. He was slightly older than average for the league, but at catcher that seems pretty typical. Your "being able to perform" line doesn't make a whole lot of sense here. He was a solid ball player which is why the Sox thought it was worth stashing him on the bench last season even though he had never played about A ball. Personally, I have just as high of hopes for him as I do for any other catcher that is currently in the system. you got it right, stashed him in the majors. he prob picked up a load full training and had the best developmental training, hands on training. now he has to show he can do it, and for a full season. having high hope was not the post you were discussing.

i have always said this, the police force puts themselves front and center on any crazy stuff. yet they are the forgotten heroes. the problem is, they started this crap as well. damn if you do damn if you don't

wow, i was in the middle of writing a response. i was saying, i was in the civil rights office and thank god for having a secretary who proof read my papers.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:50 PM) are you black LDF? Thought you mentioned it one time. nope, i am apache and hispanic... i did civil rights for 20 yrs some in dc...

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:46 PM) Yea I was gonna say, my parents saw some s***...Kent State, Selma...Detroit...this is nothing. Are you AA LDF? oh man, i live on 24 and cali.... during the race riots, harrison hs had a huge race fight between the students, teachers and police. 1 urban legend has a teacher being thrown out the 4 fl window at harrison. fights and craziness up and down the blvd the rest of the week. it was crazy and yes scary. s*** happening right outside your door.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:47 PM) Please. This needs to get done and have a DH tomorrow it really is going to be hard for that. b/c owners wants their money. this mean Nat will have to split the money.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:46 PM) Yea I was gonna say, my parents saw some s***...Kent State, Selma...Detroit...this is nothing. Are you AA LDF? i am sorry, but i don't seem to understand.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:46 PM) you're on a roll

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:45 PM) I don't have a TV at work (I'm in Las Vegas and still have over an hour left until I go home). If its that out of hand, just throw some tear gas or mace and disperse the crowd. Letting it swell is a mistake by law enforcement and canceling them game is giving them additional reason to "celebrate". then you will be aggravating the situation.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:42 PM) Then you really need to turn on a tv. I've never seen anything like this in my life, not in the US. i lived thru the race riots when MLK was killed. that was crazy, the police bus had to come by and deliver us kids to the house.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:40 PM) I don't have a TV at work....thats why I was asking. They are really canceling this game though over a few people getting a bit raucous? Sounds like an over reaction to me. you may be right, but think back to the craziness in chi when the bull won their championship, and i bet that was peaceful compare to the reasoning for this one.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:39 PM) I think the admins want some posters to quit spitting HoT FiRe towards one another how bout cold fire??

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:37 PM) Yea it's s*** timing and with the suspensions looming none of this is good. depends on the wx.... how cold is it in Balt???

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:35 PM) Which only furthers his point though. Ferguson lasted forever. This will too. thanks but it all depends on how angry the rioters are, if the peaceful ministers come out to quell this thing. there are so many factors.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:32 PM) Those were nothing compared to this. i am talking about how long it was... either way,
