QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 5, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) In THIS country its a tiny blip. In terms of deaths of US citizens its extremely minor. Worldwide there has been about 300-350 US deaths by terrorism in the last decade. On average that is 30 per year. For comparison, texting and driving kills 11 TEENS every single day. But it has a way of creeping into just about everything. I agree, an attack here is pretty far down my list of concerns- but body counts aren't the purpose of terrorism.

Caught Civil War yesterday. I thought it was pretty good, not great. Definitely better than Age of Ultron. I think at this point, I'm looking forward to a Guardians of the Galaxy sequel and the next Thor more than anything else.

Missing a monocle so far.

f*** Boston! Beat the Twins.

Good. That was not pleasant to watch.

Damn it. Would have been nice to shut his stupid face up for this series.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ May 4, 2016 -> 06:37 AM) FWIW---This may have come up but I never saw it on this site. Steve Lyons was filling in doing color on Red Sox broadcast. They were discussing the LaRoche /Kenny Williams debacle. Lyons said Navarro is not considered a clubhouse contributor mainly because he has bounced around a lot. But he said he is given the credit for rallying the team together after the incident. Navarro brings a soccer ball with him to the clubhouse and he got all the players to join an informal soccer game during a workout and that seemed to help form team chemistry. From blowup dolls to soccer balls.

Bittersweet development. I thought he might have had some use out of the bullpen, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. If this is it, then best of wishes.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 3, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) God damn if they aren't doing all the little things right. It's a joy to watch.

I love seeing Ortiz get sat down.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 2, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) ESPN cut out Schilling from the documentary about the 2004 ALCS. How stupid and petty. Schilling is a giant dumbass, but ESPN is populated with giant dumbasses.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) A dejected Danks: "There are 24 guys in here who are setting the world on fire. I got in the way of something special tonight." https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/725877656093335556 That's just painful to read. I've been of the opinion that a lot of the negativity towards Danks was a bit excessive, but there hasn't been much this season that one could point to as support for keeping him in the rotation. DFA-ing him, though? Why wouldn't they move him to the pen (probably for use in low leverage situations) before they go that route?

If this team keeps it up, I wouldn't be particularly bothered by having a first-place team with minimal representation.

That was a pleasure to watch. f***ing like a cat, was it?

Thanks be to Drake.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) Shades of Milt Pappas Forgot about that. There's an angle that conveniently with the narrative of this Cub season.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 07:45 PM) Must have money on the cubs. Cincinnati is no stranger to these kinds of antics.

Wow baby Jesus. Even though they're bum-slaying, 13-0 is still remarkable. Just not remarkable enough, I guess, so Arrieta is just going to spin a no-hitter. He should come out and throw left-handed in the 9th to make it interesting.

Danks is due for a solid start. He's capable of it- hope it's today.

They joined the prestigious 10-win club by 4/23 during the magical 2007 season.

Playing Let it Be on the PA is a nice touch during this review.

Asshat fan is asshat.

Maybe it's just the dreary weather, but coupled with the last few games, there is a very funereal atmosphere going into this one. This would be a very bad time for Latos to finally come back to earth.
