Just. What?

QUOTE (kev211 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 08:34 PM) Is that your Obama voice in the video because its pretty damn good. No. AJ paid some guy overseas $5 for that. :-)

To be fair, I also bought one haha.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 05:25 PM) That shirt is sexy Edit: so I bought one. Good. Because I made it LOL.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 03:39 PM) yes that looks great with a stellar cast. anybody catch the "Bad Grandpa" trailer? I'd rather just have another full Jackass movie. 1.5 hours of Irving Zissman pranks would get really old.

This is pretty funny. http://teespring.com/jimmygetsbuckets2013

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 12:31 PM) Yes please. Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Pena, and Louis CK in one movie? I'll take two tickets, please!

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 02:03 AM) What they need to do is add a skills competition and make a weekend out of it. I still probably wouldn't watch the game itself but a skills competition could be all sorts of fun. This. The old QB Challenge was a god damned blast to watch.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 05:54 AM) After a week w/o TV, I finally got Comcast installed. Of course they didn't activate HBO or Showtime, so I have to call today. Not too mention one of the boxes isn't working but I think it may be because the specific line to the room isn't an active cable line. Anyone with Comcast have problems logging into HBOGo? I cannot believe you chose Comcast. That said, when I had it, HBOGO was never an issue.

Hopefully into scouting and development.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 10:18 AM) SS2K5 suggested that the banner say "Soxtalk....because we arent WSI" he was really pushing that I just tossed a tagline out there - if the owners/admins want something else, I'm happy to change that part. I'm pretty sure the above is a joke though. Bring it up on your secret section of the board.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 10:31 AM) When I read about Garcia, the first guy I thought about was Rios. Actually, this is exactly what I think about, too. No one compares future hitting ability between Garcia and Miggy, just looks and size. Garcia will wind up being a Rios-type, which is a-ok by me.

Miggy lost his buddy. Check out his reaction to Avisail's first career HR.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 10:05 AM) If you trade Alexei today, it wouldn't hurt to give Beckham a tryout at SS the rest of the way. This.

Shut up. All of you. I could not stand to look at jake and pk on that old school banner any longer. I like Chris Sale. Avisail is our new hope.

I threw this together - going for the metro 2013 look. Admittedly, I spent 5 minutes on it, but it has Chris Sale and Avisail Garcia, so bonus, right?

man. f*** espn.

You originally rejected a deal to the South Side and never wanted to play for us and got injured often - thanks for the memories!

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 01:34 AM) I can't believe how many people hate this deal, or have any opinion other than us doing very nicely in this deal. Peavy was f***ing injured just a couple weeks ago, he has been injured for half his time in the Sox uniform. We traded essentially NOTHING to get Peavy in the first place, and now we get in return a very promising young OF, and 3 low-level prospects that seem to each have a plus tool respectively. The rumors going around must have inflated everyone's value of Peavy over what was actual. I saw reports that said the best guy the DBacks would relinquish was David Holmberg. I'd take Avisail Garcia over Holmberg 8 days out of the week. If Davidson or Owings were available, then that sucks we missed out, but we also have no idea if Towers only wanted a 1 for 1 swap of those guys, or maybe 1 of them + a low level guy, but the Sox eating $5-10M of Peavy's deal. We have no idea. I am COMPLETELY content with this deal. I think we got a haul very comparable to what the Cubs got for Garza. We got the best guy of all those prospects, the Cubs got the 2nd and 3rd best, while shedding a lot less payroll. It's a trade-off, IMO. This is one of your better posts. Jake Peavy is an extremely expensive, league-average pitcher who can't stay healthy this year. The Sox wound up with a very solid haul out of that based on name recognition alone. I do love how by switching Sox Jake just became two times better in the eyes of the media.

You guys are ridiculous. Wait for the whole deal.

Bernstein? Yeah, and Kobe's been a Bull for 6 years.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 01:02 PM) What's a better rotation? Peavy Liriano Burnett Locke Cole/Morton/Rodriguez or Wainwright Peavy Lynn Miller Westbrook/Wacha Ill take the Pirates. Your brain is on drugs.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:16 AM) Any news yet, Stevo? They didn't get approval to hire for the position and thus wasted a lot of people's time.
