So I didn't know rabbits dug. I didn't really give a s*** that they were eating in my garden but they ruined my new lawn in the 2 days I was in north carolina. 4 gigantic noticeable holes. I saw it this morning and threw an apple at it. I don't know if that solves the problem. Looking up bulk urine sales now.

Winston Salem fans should rejoice. That team finally will have players worth watching.

I would advise not to go on Stubhub yet. In addition to that raffle they'll do, it's underrated how many seats that theatre holds plus the amount of shows. Buying now is playing into hands of people hoping to gouge you.

It's okay Andrew, has to be hard to watch the party you belong to nominate a know-nothing fraud running on a platform of being a billionaire who turns out to be poor. Maybe Clinton will lure Trump in as a voter if she rolls out a nice subsidy program to help out destitute prop developers get back on their feet.

woo hoo, ended up calling their robot phone number and got tickets for 12/15.

ugh, this is miserable. I know I failed at getting tickets but its still going to string me along for 45 more minutes acting like I'm in line for anything. assholes.

I'm sure statistically the likelihood of becoming a pro athlete if your father or mother was a pro athlete is significantly higher. Look at the MLB draft every year and how many pedigree picks there are.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) I don't expect Burdi, Hansen, or Anderson to be in AZL for long. Also, it's amazing at how quickly they've built up some catching depth. Collins will be here shortly, Zavala has some promise, and Perez, Alfaro, and Hickman are all in the system as well. This team along with Great Falls should be fun follows. While not a starter, it feels like based on how he's been in big league camp they like Austin's defense enough that he'll be a AAA catcher that will see some time.

Was thinking we had a prospect named Adams Car, but I get it. I wish he'd start K'ing people again.

Yes, basically a year after saying "At least we didn't do what the Padres did" we ended up basically doing what the Padres did.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 03:59 PM) Interesting that Blake Hickman is listed as a C. That is weird. I kind of wonder if they just guessed after seeing Hickman, and put both?

I kinda feel like Anderson will be good against a knuckler since he has such a quick bat it can adjust late.

Wow, yeah. I have to imagine Paddy smiled when he saw that Roster.

It put pen to paper the general feeling that the sox have made a ton of moves to basically be in a worse place than they would be if they made no moves at all (in regard to depth/salary/production)

hmmm It's a podcast, just FYI. For those that have ears/time

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) It's still a mystery. I'd like to point blame too but Shields had 1 bad start in SD and all of a sudden all of the positive that he had done in his career was forgotten and everyone is lauding the scouts who passed. Like they knew he would not be able to get ANYONE out. Are the good scouts the ones who say "no way" to an otherwise solid pitcher after 1 bad start? Or are our guys doing the right thing by saying..let's buy low on this guy because of his multi-year track record of success--he'll turn it around? The only way I'm coming down on our Shields scouts is if they overlooked something else MAJOR going on in his life that is causing this or an injury. What on earth did they miss?? Is it a Chuck Knoblauch case where an all-star player, for some unknown reason, forgets how to throw the ball to 1st base? I agree--our system is broken, but anyway you look at it, you can find decent logic behind the decisions that are made!! I just can't figure it out and it's driving me nuts!! http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/james-shiel...up-for-a-while/

She was probably just teaching old Jon a lesson. "Jon, you better listen to me this time, or you'll have to climb the corpse wall again"

Yeah the songs about aliens man, you didn't know that? George Washington was in a cult, and that cult was into aliens.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Robertson, Melky, Navarro, Shields, and maybe Frazier if he picks it up in July. The rest would be on the market after the season when there would be more bidders available. All this would do is clear salary. It would not come close to actually replenishing our farm.

Will take Dirk over Olajuwon all day every day. Especially since 25 years ago cuts a lot of Hakeems career out.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 12:07 PM) Considering we do most things half-way, I would expect the former if anything! I shouldn't have included Quintana in the half-assed one, but I think even if we "rebuild" trading both of Sale and Quintana may work against each other in value returned.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 12:00 PM) This has probably been addressed in the thread already, but IF we chose to be deadline sellers who would make sense to trade? Robertson? Anyone else? If you want to do it half assed again, Robertson/Jones/Quintana/Melky If you want to really rebuild Sale/Abreu/Melky/Robertson. Either way probably fine to keep one of Sale/Quintana. Abreu would make sense due to age/cost. We are selling low though.

The player we would hope to get is compared to Brett Gardner and that's exciting?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) lol@gift titles. please. he quite literally carried those Heat teams. Wade was often hobbling and inconsistent and don't even get me started on Bosh. Wade was very good in 2011 (didn't win) and 2012 (did). Wade was best player on court in 2011, Lebron was better in 2012. But Wade put up a 23/6/5 line with 1.5 steals per game and 1 block per game. His latter 2 years his knees were bummed but his first two he was still great.
