Bleacher Report ‏@BleacherReport 1h1 hour ago 11-year-old LeBron James Jr. reportedly already has scholarship offers from Duke & Kentucky http://ble.ac/28JPTex

There are a lot of our top picks, plus a ton of guys from Latin America signings of recent years. Otano, Castillo, Reyes, Mota, Carlos Perez, and Alfaro, plus a lot of pitchers headline this group. http://www.milb.com/roster/index.jsp?cid=1997

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 11:32 PM) So..., If Cleveland wins a championship (check), Cubs win the World Series, and Donald Trump wins the presidency, what will be the fourth horseman of the apocalypse? No need for a 4th one at that point, because God doesn't exist if all that happens.

Castillo owes Jose Abreu a ton of money.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) Less than a month away. I have a feeling the second season will be off the rails. It won't just be a show about hacking and technology. With the way this season ended, there are a couple of different ways it could go. Hopefully the big reveal doesn't spoil some of the questions you had during the first season, which made it really good.

Is there a list of what the free codes can be used for yet? Any chance sports are on that list?

QUOTE (CB2.0 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 10:36 AM) Disagree. Shields has a 23+ ERA in less than 10 IPs and 3 starts. Even worse if we include his last start at SD. If that doesn't scream "done" loud enough for you, you are just refusing to hear it no matter what the actual numbers say. Exactly what you are doing when it comes to Johnson, Latos, and Danks.

QUOTE (CB2.0 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 10:26 AM) That is pure conjecture. There is absolutely no way you can support that conclusion. No more than Shields being "done" as you say.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:54 AM) Finally got around to watching Mr. Robot, holy hell that show is f***ing fantastic. I can't wait for the second season.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:38 AM) I have been updating a post in this thread, putting the players that have signed in bold. I updated the original post too.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 05:27 AM) So before last night, you were just a nutrider? QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 04:14 AM) Series is over. GS is simply a terrible matchup for Cleveland. The Cavs have exactly one two-way player in LeBron. The Warriors have about six. He just likes a lot of nuts then.

There are Alex Guerrero, Reyes, and now Castillo out there. Plus you have Morneau waiting to play. If you want a lottery ticket, they are out there.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) Tiny and wealthy definitely wins the day, but as you start going down the list you see populous and relatively diverse countries: Canada, New Zealand, Singapore (very diverse, not so large), Australia, Belgium, the UK, and Spain would meet those criteria to me. You could make some of those arguments about some others, depending on what diversity and largeness means. Of course, Hong Kong is very diverse itself but also really tiny (and not exactly a sovereign state). Looking it up, Hong Kong is 93% ethnic Chinese.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 08:43 AM) http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/safest-...-the-world.html View information as a: List Chart Country Safety and Security Ranking Hong Kong 1 Iceland 2 Finland 3 Ireland 4 Sweden 5 Taiwan 6 Denmark 7 Norway 8 Canada 9 Luxembourg 10 New Zealand 11 Singapore 12 Switzerland 13 Slovenia 14 Australia 15 Austria 16 South Korea 17 Portugal 18 Netherlands 19 Belgium 20 Germany 21 Japan 22 United Kingdom 23 Czech Republic 24 Spain 25 Without doing a lot of research, it strikes me that the top of the last list is extremely small in population and diversity. There also seems to be some level of correlation to physical size of the country.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) I phrased that wrong. You must have bought a significant number of tickets to qualify for that many free tickets. How much business have you done with TM? Almost all baseball tickets. It runs between 1999-2013, so that is a lot of baseball.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) Hawks signed Schmaltz to an NHL deal. That is your TT replacement, or at least that is the plan. Awesome. If you include Schmaltz as a part of the deal, that is a big win for teh Hawks.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 11:36 AM) How many and what shows did you buy tickets for? I haven't seen a list of what I could buy for, as of yet.

Holy crap, I have 22 free code tickets, plus like a dozen $2.25 off codes. Does the list of shows not exist yet?

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 10:08 AM) Lol - the only thing I'll admit is that it's encouraging to see that you've actually dropped your "stupid act". That in your previous post you did a great job of listing out and therefore acknowledged the many, many instances over the years where the ownership has engaged in non-fan friendly behavior. And how that in combination with the dearth of winning by this organization explains not only the size of the fan base, but also it's lack of eagerness to routinely fill the ballpark. That entire post was mocking that those things actually were really angry about. The fact that you agree with that list is exactly my point about having bitter fanbase. Seriously, the color of the seats?

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 02:08 AM) The Cubs are actually one of the best reasons historically speaking why blind loyalty to a baseball team enables mediocrity to persist. And all they got for that loyalty was the ability to do a complete rebuild. Something the Sox will never be able to do.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 09:55 PM) To me it's a simple concept and really I'm amazed some folks just don't get it. The Sox are no different from a restaurant or the hardware store or the local cleaners. They are ALL businesses first and foremost. If they put out a poor product, customers will not do business with them. They are under absolutely no obligation to do so. Would you keep going back to that restaurant if they keep getting your order wrong for example and the food is bad? Now add in a taxpayer funded ballpark, perhaps the biggest "sweetheart lease" in baseball and millions of dollars in income and to me, customers who support bad baseball (or a bad steak or a bad hammer or a dirty shirt) well...they are the ones who I think should be rethinking the situation. To each his own I guess. Mark It is different. No one would spend decades talking about their favorite hardware store, laundry mat or restaraunt. This is sports we are talking about. Sports are entertainment. Your hardware store isn't, and neither is any of the rest of the list. Though one aspect is the same, in most communities any of those business would receive a level of tax funding to locate into a community. Except in very rare cases, usually related to union labor, you don't see people throwing tempers about those taxes going to support local businesses. Even in cases where it does happen, it fades after the business is open and a part of the community. Only in sports do people hold grudges for decades and seek people out to complain about these "businesses". I have yet to meet a single person who claims to be a huge fan of McDonalds, but refuses to go there and spend their money because they forgot their pickles 36 years ago. They go to McDonalds because they know what to expect from it, and they know what they are going to get there. They sure wouldn't spend decades writing and talking about them after the fact, only to circleback to something that happened decades ago, all the while still claiming to be dedicated to them.
