  1. Especially considering what the typical veteran goes through to get into a VA facility. The military people in this country should be outraged.
  2. Hopefully this pays off in advertising and is able to help the Sox spend this winter.
  3. The irony of course is that the "Spanish" flu began on a military base in (wait for it) Kansas.
  4. How about we put it this way. Think of all of the different laws we have. Almost all of them would not be required if people could handle a basic set of ideals. But they couldn't so a law and punishment was written to stop them from happening. Should people be responsible enough to go out and have a drink or two without getting too drunk to be able to drive? Sure. Could alcohol serving establishments sell a lot more drinks if they didn't have to worry about over-serving people who drove home? Where is the personal responsibility on both sides, right? People were dying in large numbers because people were to irresponsible to not kill each other. But neither people, nor bars, could handle that, so hence the laws surrounding DUI. It is the same thing here, except in much larger numbers. The incentive is to put people into dangerous situations for establishments, and for people to think they can handle this and not endanger people while going out in public. But 200,000 + dead people is a great statement that both parties are wrong, and that the government should step in to minimize social damage. We do this all of the time in the US on a much smaller scale.
  5. No. We have tried that for 7 months and 200,000 are dead. It failed. Now what?
  6. This country is not responsible nor following the rules. Now what?
  7. This team has 20 million in raises to give to people already under contract. That is even before guys like Giolito hit arbitration.
  8. This is quite literally the policy of the President. People are killing others because they don't actually believe in responsibility. But sure the solution is platitudes. The rest of the world figured it out, just not us.
  9. If they were going to fire him this year, it would have already happened.
  10. This team lost all of its gate money and 2/3 of its TV money.
  11. So we know that a large minority of people in the country are responsible for the spread, but aren't willing to do anything about it. The whole idea of responsibility isn't happening. This isn't a theoretical IF. It is real life where 200000 people are dead.
  12. Most racists are able to rationalize their racist behavior.
  13. And the economy will still be in the toilet.
  14. Little does this racist know that if you want hold people "accountable " you would know get to charge the President with endangerment and potentially manslaughter for every single person they exposed at their super spreader events.
  15. When you post racist sentiment, why would you be surprised that people call you on it? That might fly in Kansas, but you aren't in Kansas anymore on Soxtalk.
  16. People are pissed about shit that happened in 1980.
  17. Honest answer: No one knows yet. They stuck him out there in ATS, but there are no videos or scouting reports.
  18. If the choice is to overreact or underreact to a potential UCL injury the answer is ALWAYS to overreact. Always.
  19. Forearm tightness is the most common early diagnosis of a torn UCL that doesn't happen in one big dramatic instant tear.
  20. The Sox would lose about $13 million a year in payroll flexibility and block Vaughn from real playing time. Vaughn is the next piece of the DH puzzle. We don't need to spend $18 million to do that. We have a MUCH better hitter ready to go in Andrew Vaughn. Past that, we would have $18 million less dollars to find a top end SP, closer, and RF, only to block our next best hitter from playing time.
