Now that's a line up. 50 homers and 60 rbi's a possibility for Abreu there. EDIT: And why does Josh Paul have to be on the Sox? He did much more for us as an opponent than he ever did for us as a member of the team.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 02:37 PM) Unless it's a false twitter thing, there was a picture of one business owner with an assault rifle today protecting his own business. Can you do that legally? I'll tell you one thing .. I know the police are under fire nationally but at some point the looters have to be stopped. Or it'll be anarchy in this country.There has to be a happy medium. The poor business owners. There's a decent amount of business owners doing that

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 01:28 PM) Just be happy he showed up. Ha true. And Savage is seriously the best ever for getting an awesome match out of this guy at WM7, god did the Warrior suck.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) I still can't believe that show was taped 2 days before it aired. Pre internet life. I didn't even know that, crazy. What's up with the Ultimate Warrior's ring gear here?

Just turned on the Network cause I'm bored at work and...REPO MAN!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 12:13 PM) Went to a party last night. Lots of younger folks (21-24ish) were there. Long story short. Is it me or are these words/phrases excessively overused by teens or people in their 20's: 1: "Awkward" - Oh my f***ing god i'm sick of this word. I must've heard this word 50 times last night. Anything that's even semi strange, uncomfortable, weird, etc, the word awkward comes up. 2: "At the end of the day: - oh my goodness. again. at least 50 times. 3: "it is what it is" - i wanted to shoot myself. i heard this at least 72 times last night. 4: "selfie" i will kill a small, defenseless animal next time i hear this word. 5: "I love my bf" t-shirts. wtf is this now? Is this, like, cool now? I saw at least 5 girls wearing these. i'm 31 now. am i just getting old? Old ass man. I'm a little younger than you(turn 27 next week) but besides number 3 which I say myself a lot, I don't really hear/see those phrases too much.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) Hey dude, can you give Justin his computer back? Thanks. I kind of blame the Blackhawks. For their last few playoff runs, I've tried watching baseball directly after a Hawks game and was just bored, I couldn't do it.

Absolutely.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 08:29 PM) Neville/Breeze on nxt was really good. You a boliever in Breeze yet?

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 05:01 PM) This just sold me on Sunday. Loved these segments back in the day. Ya but you already have the network for just $9.99 a month. Did you guys know that you can buy the network for just $9.99 a month?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) Judging by the lack of talk about his injury, and the way teammates talked about him, Zach Miller is about to fade off into the sunset. I feel like I did this to him.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 02:14 PM) How else would you yell things? LIKE THIS

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 09:03 AM) I'm surprised how many people said they would stop watching baseball if they moved. Are there that many fans of the team that really aren't fans of the game in general? I've honestly started to become this way. I still like to play the sport but if it wasn't for the Sox, I don't think I'd watch at all. EDIT: that's actually kind of sad for me to admit because I used to be obsessed with the sport.

Yay Danish day!

Kentucky vs the DR live on the SEC Network right now. Rowand happy.

Right now we have the cops saying that he strong armed the convenient store(which looks to be true), assaulted a cop and tried to steal his gun. And we have Brown's friends saying that he surrendered right away. My point is that we still don't have all the details but a lot of people seem to just want to join the "f*** the police" side of things.

QUOTE (The Wiz @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 12:42 AM) So you are saying you've never said someone was a "p**sy" or "f*g" or told someone to drop their balls or get their panties out of a bunch, or said something was "gay?" If you haven't, I find that extremely hard to believe. I'm not saying that saying any of that stuff is right or wrong, but people have the right to say what they want and I'd say the vast majority of people who say these things do them out of jest/anger/ some sort of emotion and never mean to offend or have anything against any of the group's they may have offended with saying it. It is just something that has gone on with males for thousands of years. And I think you are definitely wrong, nothing is changing, the only thing is changing is the forums in which you can actually say what you feel and think are changing. Go to any school yard today and listen to the conversation of a group of boys and compare it to one of 30 years ago. Boys are still making fun of other boys, kids are still getting made fun of for doing things like a girl, etc. What also hurts your argument is that these groups that we are told are suppossed to be offended by making comments like this use those very terms in jest all the time. It's not uncommon for a girl to tell a man to stop wearing a skirt or get your panties out of a bunch. Or for homosexual people to call things gay, and so forth. If things were really changing, these groups wouldn't use those phrases and such anymore. Most of the time it is some white guy telling us that those people should be offended. This post is going to rub people the wrong way but I completely agree.

I honestly have no idea.

Hopefully Hayden or Nicole comes back next week, I'm going to find god and slap him in the face if Jocasta comes back.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 03:12 PM) I dont think he is the next Gronk, Miller could be injury prone...

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 04:22 PM) One of the many reasons I think the biggest priority for the next commissioner, outside of the labor agreement, is speeding up the pace of baseball. Drop replay, put in some serious regulations to increase the action / speed. IIRC, the length of a baseball game today vs. 40 years ago is significantly longer. I'm sure part of that is commercial breaks (although those existed back in the day too). However, since 1970, the average baseball game has increased by approximately 30 minutes (from roughly 2.5 hr's to almost 3hr's). There are also more pitching changes now, I'm going to presume, then 30 or 40 years ago, however, I'd go to more extreme's to limit the amount of pitches and the total amount of time you can take during pitching changes and also potentially alter rules for mound visits in an inning. Maybe truly cap it at 1 per inning vs. current rules which can allow multiple in an inning (presuming the 2nd time you visit each pitcher you are pulling them). I agree in theory but baseball is just slow no matter what you do to speed it up.

Wait...this really bothers people? I've been tired of Hawk for years but good god the oversensitivity of people now a days is absurd.

Update: he's really good.

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) Rodon, Montas, Adams, and Danish are exciting. We haven't had a collection of pitching talent like this in the system at once since 2000-01. Hopefully this group fairs better. And to think, not too long ago Erik Johnson was our prized pitching gem. Extremely exciting. Not only are they all putting up terrific numbers but all of them have ridiculously good arms. Good times.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 08:34 AM) You have to wonder if Jose got the cold shoulder after that one. Tension in the dugout? Could Abreu request a trade? WHO WILL JERRY REINSDORF CHOOSE? Obviously his man, Robin. Abreu will be waiver traded this month. You heard it here first. With his unwillingness to listen to the manager you think he'd pass through waivers semi easily so we should be able to trade him to any team.
