2016 Home Run Derby
Ya, I'm far from Hawk's biggest fan but he's about 8432948732402934 times better than Berman. Dude is awful at his job and just at life in general.

Quintana an All-Star

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 12:22 AM) Well I did the DraftKings UFC thing tonight and got 4 of 5. Only lost Frankie Edgar. Funny the 1st place prize was $800 but bc so many picked the same fights, the winners only got $23. Regretting the $60 purchase. I actually turned on an episode of Modern Family after the Lesnar fight and didn't watch the main event. Back to watching it at bars, illegal streams or off of periscope. Do you like mma or do you just hate watch it?

Chris Sale named to All-Star game
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) So we're still waiting for word on replacements for both Davis and Kimbrel... one of them has to be Quintana, no? Jose Quintana does not actually exist outside of Soxtalk. So nope, Q will never be on the allstar team.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) Summer league is actually awesomely entertaining. Theres always some fat balding dude who is a part time mailman and awkward gigantic 7ft dudes who clearly have no coordination or basketball skill. I love it. I love summer league. A buddy and I are actually thinking about going next year. Fun excuse to go to Vegas too.

BA midseason 100
QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 12:25 PM) They put fulmer on the list stating that most now think he will be a bullpen guy. Reed always made these lists too when he was in our system. I certainly wouldn't guarantee it but there's a chance Burdi will be there. Not really sure why this list is depressing as everyone knew we'd have one guy on it once TA graduated to the Majors.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 11:46 AM) Matt Hardy V1 was entertaining. He was red hot when he returned in 2005 after being released but WWE whiffed on the opportunity. The stuff with Edge was great but it was also real life stuff and it was Edge so it couldn't not be good.

**World Soxtalk Championship Wrestling IV Thread**
QUOTE (The Critic @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) Broken Matt Hardy is the only interesting version of Matt Hardy to ever exist. He's still horrible, but it's as if he has embraced his own awfulness. His facial expressions are insanely great and he couldn't decide which accent to use so he decided to use all of them. The match itself was junk, but it was entertaining junk. I wonder when Jeff Hardy forgot how to jump onto a table. He never hits them clean anymore. I don't know where they go from here, but you'd assume Jeff....oops, I mean BROTHER NEEEEEROOOoooo.... has to eventually triumph. He got deleted! That swanton off the tree looked like the most paintful thing ever, he just completely whiffed. Guess I wouldn't be surprised if Willow comes back but who knows.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) Go watch Final Deletion again. �� They won't stfu about it probably because it was so stupid. Can't believe WWE is going to try and copy it with Wyatt's vs New Day. It was pretty much universally loved. I know you don't like this type of stuff but you're in the minority opinion on this one.

2016-2017 NBA Thread
QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 10:52 PM) I never claimed flights don't delay. I claimed that front offices that are in major free agent meetings don't miss theirs to a flight delay when there are clearly many other planes that were not delayed, or you go the night before. This is the NBA, they just signed a 24 billion tv contract. They can fly charter to visit players in the hamptons. It is not comparable to an accounting firm. I don't really consider this winning. But I pray this "recruiting angle" works, because this is the worst roster construction for modern times. Even if it explodes and Forman is fired, it means we will be unattractive as a destination again. But perhaps we'd get a good draft pick in a good draft. I'm pretty shocked how excited people are with this. Actually I'm completely shocked but whateve, I hope everyone else is right.

2016-2017 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 10:40 PM) Wade is so anti-rose in that sense. And Rondo, punk or not, has always marked me as the kind of guy I want on my team (has a nasty streak about him). You know...this isn't the perfectly constructed roster, and I have zero delusions of a championship, but it will be fun to watch and clearly some of the young guys are going to get key roles on the bench too (Portis / Dougie / Valentine / Grant). And I'm f***ing confident next year we are landing a f***ing STUD. Man you are on some crazy pills when it comes to the Bulls my friend.

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) Bryant: 25 HR's, 9 against the Reds Russell: 10 HR's, 5 against the Reds Joke if there ever was one, man. COMPLETE joke. And somehow, someway, their overall statistics against this crap team are ignored when acknowledging their greatness. #rentfree Man, some of you guys get super salty about the Cubs. The guy with the 4th best WAR in baseball is getting too much credit!!!!!

There's nothing wrong with Arrieta, he's just regressing to the mean. He's a very good pitcher who was never you know the best pitcher of all time. This was going to happen at some point.

7/6 Games
They also might feel that getting him fast tracked to the majors with Cooper will help his development the most. I obviously don't know that for sure but it's certainly a possibility. The talent is clearly there, if they believe the maturity level is there, they might feel it's in his and the team's best interest to fast track him. Who knows.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 08:33 AM) It was awful. Justin is drunk. Well I knew you wouldn't like it. The whole thing has been an absurd thing that a lot of people found entertaining. Last night was the dumbest s*** I've ever seen and I enjoyed all of it as did most people who watched it, it seems. And like it or not this is the most TNA has been talked about in years so good for them.

Who will represent the Sox at the ASG?
It's amazing to me that it's 2016 and there's a possibility that Q won't make the Allstar team and unfortunately I bet he won't.
