Anyone have a boxscore anywhere? Their website seems to update boxscores 2 days behind and no archived numbers.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 11, 2017 -> 11:41 PM) Given the leaked trade that almost went through in December, it's unlikely we even get Soto I would argue Robertson's value has gone up since the offseason, and Washington's need has gone up as well (playoff need, at least).

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 11, 2017 -> 11:36 PM) Wait, a half a million? You sure that's accurate? The number was over 300,000 in the first week, and over 400,000 as of May of 2016. Tesla has been hardcore anti-selling the Model 3 lately, but I am assuming during their July final reveal of the car they will announce the pre-order number to date. They have said for a while they don't want to announce the updated figures because of how it could be spun negatively, whether the number is higher or lower than people think. Who knows how many of those actually convert, but it's still going to be a huge number regardless.

f*** youuuu Nashville

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 10, 2017 -> 11:57 PM) I have a friend who manages a discount tire nearby. He has a customer with a Model S who goes through $2000+ worth of tires per year. Looking forward to your review whenever you get your vehicle! $2000 a year?!? JESSSSUUSSS. I wonder how many miles and sized tires that is. Also, I think I heard that a bunch of tire companies are making tires for Tesla's now that the M3 will dump a half a million cars on to the market in the next 12+ months.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 10, 2017 -> 11:05 PM) If you're one of the lucky ones, you get the $7500 tax credit. That is set to expire soon. Sucks about the lack of options, but hey, the Model 3 looks pretty awesome (even if it doesn't have an instrument cluster). Either way, I'm sure you can make that work. My advice? Think long and hard about drivetrain and how much you want to spend on tires. Teslas are both heavy and high torque. Big tires could get pricy and wear fast. The Model S is particularly bad for this . The tax credit only begins to expire once 200,000 vehicles have been delivered in the US, and only 2 full fiscal quarters after the quarter in which 200,000th is delivered. They haven't hit 200,000 yet, so any car delivered in 2017 is guaranteed to have the full credit available, and likely any car delivered through the first 2 quarters of 2018 as well. And at that point it drops to $3750 for 6 months, and then $1875 for 6 months after that. As for tires, if the options are truly 18" or 19", I am 100% taking the 18".

Maaaaaan, that A Way Out game looks really interesting. http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/06/11/e3-...iest-game-of-e3

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 10, 2017 -> 06:31 AM) Joe, what do you do for a living? You seem to be doing pretty well for yourself if you can afford to buy both a Telsa & house in the same year. The Model 3 starts at only $35K, and has a $7500 tax credit available. Not cheap by any means, but I've been saving for about 15 months now to build a down payment.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 10, 2017 -> 10:11 PM) Averaging in the low 20s is kind of lousy isn't it? Is it the price of a ticket, parking, concessions or the slow pace of baseball in 2017? Honestly, parking is a real kick in the dick. $20 to park, when the 2 tickets I buy cost less than that. Only 11 of the other 29 teams charge $20 or more for parking. A lot of teams are $15 or under, a few are under $10 to park, and a couple are free parking.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 10, 2017 -> 10:06 AM) It's gonna be a guy with a large contract... He's talking about the sweetner prospect to move such a contract. For example, Tuevo with Bicks.

Kendall grounds out to 2B in his final AB. 1/4, RBI, SB, 2 Ks.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jun 10, 2017 -> 08:55 PM) I think Hansen has done enough to graduate from Kanny. 22 BB / 82 K in 66 2/3 innings seems day and night compared to the hard thrower at OU last year. He needs to be challenged at the next level. I think they are waiting until the draft, when some top draftees fill up Kanny and he gets bumped. EDIT: Beaten to it.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 09:58 PM) Hawks might be on the verge of trading a core player. Seeeeeeabs.

Still 4th. 2 GB of Giants for 3rd. 2.5 GB of Padres for 2nd. 4 GB of Phillies for 1st.

I have all the Vandy and Virginia games recording just in case the Sox take Kendall or Haseley. Watched Kendall's ABs tonight. 1st AB was not recorded because the previous game ran long. 2nd AB he scorched a line drive to LF that nearly hit the wall. I honestly thought it was a line drive in the gap, but it took off and the LF last second snagged it high. 3rd AB he got really jammed and chopped it to 1st. 4th AB he struck out. Swung over an inside slider for strike 1, lined a similar spotted slider foul for strike 2, swung over a slow slider for strike 3. 3 straight sliders inside. 5th AB with the game on the line....never happened. Kendall would have been the tying run in the 9th, but the game ended with him on deck.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 11:51 AM) I would think that it'd be better to wait to buy a place until you're more familiar with an area and know exactly where you'd want to live. That would change if it's a city you're familiar with and you've already got friends and family and know the different neighborhoods around there. Using the tax credit to pay down your car loan would also leave you in a better place financially sooner. I'm possibly thinking Nashville, as one of my best friends is a country music singer and if his career takes off by the end of this year, like a certain event at the end of this year may cause it to, then I might decide to move down there and get more involved in his career for a few years.

Since no one has posted any highlights....here's a few juicy defensive ones... http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/69972428/v123...y=Alen%2BHanson I'm excited, as there is no risk here, and moderate chance he's useful.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 08:43 AM) I'm not really sure how well the show will do without him. Mostly fine. I love TJ Miller, but that cast is very strong all around. He always just had the side-stories anyway.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 06:40 AM) Draft isn't until 7 PM. I don't work 9-5 hours.

QUOTE (juddling @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 06:02 PM) It says something for the quality of the show when you know he isn't gonna get caught switching the pills but still on the edge of your seat. The whole Nacho sequence was damn impressive. The actor playing Nacho has been wonderful. (He was also pretty good in Orphan Black too ) Not necessarily. We know Hector becomes ill, but we don't know if it's from the pills. I was wondering if Nacho would get caught or fail, and a battle in which Nacho loses ends up rendering Hector injured anyway. And yeah, Michael Mando is great on Orphan Black and also Far Cry 3. It's funny how the first time I ever saw the actor on TV (orphan black), I KNEW he was Vaas from Far Cry 3. They did an awesome job mo-capping him in to the game.

I guess I should mention I could ask for a delay, and to be pushed back in line, but I want to get the car prior to the end of 2017 so I can immediately take the tax credit, and move somewhere across the country, using that $7500 tax credit as a down payment for a house.

Both good news and bad news about my upcoming Tesla Model 3. Good news is that I keep moving up the list, and may have mine by November (was April, then December). This is just based on someone's tool they created, not Tesla saying it, so it could easily be wrong. Bad news is that because they are hellbent on streamlining production initially, there are almost no options for the car. Not meaning no upgrades over the base, but for the first 70-80,000 cars, they will be very very similar. Elon said in the most recent shareholder meeting that when the configuration opens in July, the options will essentially be wheel size and color. So this means anyone getting a Model 3 in 2017 will be forced in to a 75kW option (50kW version available in 2018), RWD (AWD Dual motor in 2018), Coil suspension (Smart air in 2018), standard audio, no winter package, no performance model. They haven't said yet if their 2017 owners will have to get the metal roof or the glass roof, and haven't said what the interior color will be (likely black). I will definitely be going 18" wheels, not 19, so my only real decision will apparently be exterior color, in which case I am leaning silver, unless Signature Red is offered for Day 1 reservation holders, in which case I might take that even though I've never been in to red cars, the novelty of it might sway me.

I have looked in to both the Amazon Echo and the Google Home, and I think when I eventually get one, it will be Google Home. The chromecast tie-in is just too strong for me to ditch with Amazon.

We're getting off topic here, but I guess in the conversation of physical abuse vs. adultery being worse, or more scarring, I guess I would say if each only happened once, adultery is worse. If it's repeated, then physical abuse would be worse, IN MY OPINION. I feel like if someone could choose to be slapped by their wife/husband, or their wife/husband f*** their friend, each only once, they would take the slap. But if it's REPEATED cheating, then I feel like you are probably dumb for staying, and the initial shock has already happened. Repeated physical abuse though becomes potentially physically dangerous and can create a hostile environment in which the victim is scared to leave and would rather continue to be abused for fear of what worse could be done. Either way, garbage behavior in both instances.
