RIP Tony Gwynn..............a truly great hitter of his era.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 15, 2014 -> 07:20 AM) The USPS was a once useful business in which progress/technology has surpassed. That's not to say it's not still useful, but it's not needed anywhere near 6, 5 or even 4 days a week anymore. Anyone that claims they trust the USPS to deliver their packages over UPS or FedEX is, IMO, a liar. Their service degraded because they hired a lot of really s***ty workers that didn't give a f*** about their job (and that's not to say UPS or FedEX don't have their share of such people, too.) I've had more packages lost by the USPS I can't even count, and it's safe to say their customer service is worse than Comcast's -- which is quite a feat of strength. When I see someones shipping through USPS off of Amazon (or other online retailers), I try to find a vendor that sells the same product that doesn't...for reasons. Honestly, they could take this "essential service" down to one day a week and I wouldn't care, that'd be 5 less days I have junk mail delivered to me -- because that's pretty much all the USPS delivers these days. I do agree with your final sentence, however...but isn't that how our governments been working for decades now? FYI.............UPS and Fed EX drop off 35% of there total volume packages at post office for final delivery every day and number is climbing higher every year under the last mile program. The dirty little secret is you pay the extra money at UPS and FED EX but there is a 1 in 3 chance they do not even deliver it the USPS does. 95% of customers have no idea this is happening, so finding a vendor that ships UPS or FED EX through a online vendor guarantees you nothing on final delivery.

Not a good game again.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2014 -> 01:15 PM) This pitching staff is horrible. Rienzo not long for this rotation. There is not a lot of talent on this roster. Sox may be 10 under .500 before next road trip is over.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 15, 2014 -> 01:19 PM) I'm not sure if this was touched on in another thread, but the worst part of this is that there aren't any great trade chips on this team. Danks would have to have a great July, but I'm not banking on that. I'm not sure if any team would give up a hell of a lot for Dunn. Gillaspie could net a mediocre haul. The only guy would be Sale, and he's not going anywhere. Nobody is taking Danks contract.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 15, 2014 -> 01:15 PM) Ok, enough is enough with Andre Rienzo. KC 2-0 another lost weekend like at Angels. Rienzo rolling everything leaving it up. You cannot win with Noesi and Rienzo in rotation..............KC has won last 9 of 10 in Chicago.

Picks 1, 2 and 4 are signed let's go Boras time to get the your client signed.

Going to be a tough day at the office............steal a W. Happy Father's Day to all

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) So Pat Patterson is gay. Didn't really see that coming Next time on Legends ...........Man lands on the Moon

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 08:55 AM) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-26...eats-again.html Shocking? Not really. I expect nothing less from this administration. They can't lower the bar any farther. There has to be copies to who they sent emails to. The Obooooma administration the worst I have ever seen top to bottom.

What could have been. If Hawks just protected home ice with a 2-0 lead during the series just once.

The word in WWE is that "Macho Man" Randy Savage is closer than ever to getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. The company is currently working on a new DVD/Blu-ray release for Savage, including a full documentary with participation from his brother "Leapin'" Lanny Poffo (aka The Genius). The current line-up for the 2015 Hall of Fame is Savage, The Rock, Kevin Nash, Rikishi and for the annual Divas pick, either Victoria or Mickie James. Per 411wrestling Sounds awesome new dvd set, I loved the first one just wish he was alive to get his due.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 06:00 PM) Nieto's k rate is actually quite similar to Tyler's. Chances are more exposure will lead to some really poor results. The kid is a special circumstance in over his head. There is zero reason to throw more on his plate unless you are trying to make him fail. Flowers has been over his head 90% of the time.

QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 05:55 PM) I completely agree with Nieto being given a shot to start. That way we can at least figure out what we have at the end of the season. It is time to try Nieto everyone knows what Sox have in Flowers and it is not good.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 03:51 PM) https://twitter.com/MattEddyBA/status/477914647614337025 Sox sign a first rounder! Just saw that more organizational depth I guess.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) Your poor grammar aside, aren't you exaggerating just a bit? You LOVE Paulina? Not like, not understand, but you LOVE the Paulina signing? You LOVE Mitch Boggs? Not like, not understand, but you LOVE the Boggs signing? You LOVE the Davidson trade? You LOVE the Sierra signing? You LOVE de Aza? De Aza was not Hahn, it was KW that brought him in.

KC 9-1 another nice Saturday home effort for the few fans that do show up. Give RV another extension hell make it lifetime.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 04:09 PM) They don't seem interested in that. I could see more Cuba signings however. The Royals have been horses*** all year prior to this 10-4 stretch. We stand no chance against THIS Royals team. Forget tomorrow. Shields 3 hitter. Shields was the game of this series I thought would be the loss.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 04:06 PM) I'm not willing to concede any games against the Giants yet, because that's a brand new series. Sox barely score on KC pitching.........SF forget about it.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 04:02 PM) The Royals are just a buzzsaw right now. I wonder how bad they will blow us out tomorrow. I look forward to all the updates from my phone out on the golf course. I am looking at the Sox going 0-4 against SF also, the hits keep coming. This may be the stretch of games that .500 record again may be gone for 2014.

People who wanted Webb you got him. Sox do not win games like the Royals have against Sox last 2 days.

I feel sorry for the people who paid to watch this today. Webb not doing so hot either.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 03:52 PM) Sox need to hit the free agent signings hard to bring talent into the organization. Today's Sox lineup isn't even a good AAA lineup.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 03:51 PM) Why does anyone throw him a strike Teams will not throw him one, why should they he gets himself out 2nd time around league adjustments are being made.
