QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 11:10 AM) A "Hate On" Sub Forum would be quite popular - until we're in first place. I think we should call it "Pale Hose Talk"

Its all on Kenny.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Well, that makes for a nice Disney movie and all, but in the real world that screams failure. What difference does that make? If you are trying to figure out why he is doing it, the eventual results don't matter. His history matters more than anything.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 10:35 AM) Taken apart? All that was being insinuated is that he possibly thinks he can't start anymore. He's healthy enough to throw 1 inning but not six? How else is one supposed to take that? That he is willing to take one for the team? That fits his personality better than anything else.

This is thing that drives me crazy about Soxtalk. One day Peavy is an asshole for pushing himself too hard. The very next week when he offers to do something to try to help the team, and put himself in a situation to save himself a little more, he gets taken apart.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 10:15 AM) How is it a reach? Why would a career starter just out of the blue offer to go to the 'pen if he didn't have at least some doubt about his future as a starter? Edwin Jackson did it. Is he a quitter too? So did Phil Humber.

All righty, it seems like the 2011 talk is done... Time to migrate the wait til next year talk over to the new thread...

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 08:07 AM) For the love of God please Boston, (and I can't believe I'm rooting for a Boston franchise) win the f***ing cup. Ditto. I feel dirty, but the alternative is way worse.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 08:15 AM) He's listed as 195. I really look foward to hearing what you think about him. I assume he is out of options, so the Sox have to figure out how to fix him by next April.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 08:34 AM) Wow, incredible. I'm getting there early to make sure I get one!

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 11:07 PM) Dude is listed as 6'0 tall and 150 lbs, that is like Chris Sale skinny. But a lefty who can hit upper 90s, has control issues with over 1 BB/IP, Aaron Poreda anyone? Sounds like some vintage Pedro size.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 08:09 AM) Yes. 100%. Insult it all you want, it works. Just ask Bernie Madoff!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 08:09 AM) That doesn't answer my question. Your question is faulty. It assumes that there is either all government or no government.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 08:04 AM) Yes. ^

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 08:04 AM) So how on Earth are people supposed to have health care in your world? The government shouldn't provide it, that's socialism. Your employer providing it for you is "Socialization of personal responsibility." The only way left is to rely on the individual market, where being old or sick is a pre-existing condition and they don't want you. There is a massive different between regulating care and giving it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 08:02 AM) I'm impressed by the precision of your language. Hey I found a blog to think for me! http://www.aafp.org/online/etc/medialib/aa...raph-111510.pdf Only 71.4% are accepting new medicare patients, versus 82.6% accepting new patients. That means about 1 in 6ish doctors who is taking new patients, isn't taking medicare patients.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 07:08 PM) Keep highlighting the "capitalism as an abusive power structure" construct, it reinforces the need for a safety net. Ugh. I hate the assumption that just because someone gives you a job, it makes them responsible for you and your entire family from cradle to crave. That's not an "abusive power structure", that is the socialization of personal responsibility. And if you want guys want a much better example of what I believe will happen to health care with this plan, I think the history of private pensions is probably the best parallel I can think of.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 05:52 PM) Like Medicare, where the administrative costs are vastly below private plans as well? You mean like medicare where many doctors and medical facilities won't accept the patients with that for insurance? That doesn't really help the argument for you.

I am glad Peavy is offering to be the big man, and try to help the team out. As a matter of a fact I think it is awesome that three of the six starters (Humber, Peavy, and Jackson) have all said they would be fine in going to the pen. It tells me a lot about this team. This group really seems to be more about the name on the front of the jersey instead of the name on the back of the jersey. Especially a guy in Peavy's situation tells me a lot about his character. The guy has been a Cy Young. He could have easily thrown a fit and said there is no way he would move. Hell all of them could have pulled the "I'm a starter" thing in one form or another, and none of them has. And honestly the credit for that attitude on this team probably goes to Ozzie. The guys on this team love him.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 08:06 PM) You know much that costs? They didn't have any more problems with weather than any other team last year. The Minnesota weather thing is overblown. They had to fight like hell to get what they got, because Twins ownership wasn't going to pick it up.

Tarp is still on the field and it is still raining in Minny.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 06:06 PM) Sounds like a rain out Damn. The last thing we need to do is get games backed up like the rest of the division.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 05:43 PM) He is in Chicago, becoming a citizen of the USA. Per Merkin. Good for Dayan. It is nice to know he likes it here.
