    Why do people find this moron entertaining to listen to?

    This is like listening to any drunk idiot in a bar who's watching baseball for the first time in his life.  It's entertaining for about 5 minutes.  The guy is a freaking idiot

     It's pretty clear that Walton is far from an idiot or moron.  You may not like his point of view, but he is intelligent and informed.

    I only flew into Asheville and then stayed an hour away but I can tell you the Sierra Nevada brewery near the airport is amazing. Its huge with a large outdoor area with a concert stage and the food is so so good, way better than you'd expect from a brewery.

    I will second this.  Very cool place.  I've been to the Asheville area a couple of times and at the time they had the most breweries per capita of any US city.  Lots of good beer around.  I don't remember having any issues with parking while we were there.

    Another request.  What's with the quick trigger to remove the game threads?  Gone by early AM after a night game?  I know it's a GAME thread, but there are frequently pages of comments by people long after the game is over.  Especially by those of us who didn't see the game.

     

    They get moved here if you want to read them: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?/forum/86-2019-season-in-review/

  4. I think it's safe to assume that a MLB player has been playing baseball for 10+ years at the minimum.  If they don't know that they need to call fly balls by the time they reach this level, I don't know that there is anything any manager or coach can do to get through to them on that.  This is not a defense of RR or any other Sox coaches, but this is on the player IMO.

    Holy shit, you're actually falling all over yourself to conflate the former NLCS and WS MVP, 4-time All Star, 5 time 4+ fWAR [once 5+ fWAR] Cole Hamels,

    to

    the vastly-overrated, only 1 All Star Appearance, 2-time 4+ fWAR [NEVER 5+ fWAR] James Fucking Shields? Seriously?

     

    I get that you want to defend this trade at all costs, but take the loss on this one. In NO WAY was James Shields ever an "Ace," and he was a fetid pile of shit [so stated by San Diego's owner] when this dumb front office traded for him. Dude, just stop.

    2.82 ERA in 249.1 innings in the AL with 11 complete games, 4 shutouts, 225 Ks, and a WHIP of 1.043 isn't good enough to be considered and "Ace"?

    "Abreu always has made clear his disdain for being the designated hitter"

     

    The proof is in the pudding. There is a reason we kept seeing him at 1st while a better fielding Alonso was the DH. Abreu better settle into that DH role and accept it. His defense will only get worse.

    “If I’m playing first base or DH, or he’s playing first base or DH, it doesn’t matter,’’ Abreu said through a translator at SoxFest. “What matters is how we can make the team better.’’

    I didn't say they're bad people, but most librarians are pretty dull in terms of personality

    LOL, where did you get this info?

    I would bet everything that Jaime kills Cersei. It's been set up from the very beginning. He'll die in the process. 

    Didn't they just have their fall out at the end of last season?  Seems like it was set up more for Arya to kill Cersei, since she's been on her list since very early.  But since Arya killed the NK, it seems like it can't be her now.

    I guess with the amount of hype and non-stop talk about the show I am expecting something on the level of Breaking Bad, and it's definitely not. But that's fine, because it's clearly entertaining enough, and even I'm invested on how it ends now, but I guess my expectations of WHY people love the show were off. 

    Do you mean like when all the bad guys just happen to be standing in the direct line of fire of a remote control gun that pops out of a car trunk?

    Good time to remind everyone that postponed and cancelled aren't interchangeable words. Postponed means it will be made up later. Cancelled means it won't be made up at all. Bruce, you suck.

    Actually postponed does not mean it will be made up later.  Postponed means it will be rescheduled.  That rescheduled game could potentially be cancelled.
