Melky still seems to hit everything, I was the same way with him in 15 Ugh Q is underrated again.

2016 Republican Thread
QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) New FOX News poll out today. In hypothetical November matchups, Kasich beats Clinton 51-40, Cruz beats Clinton 47-44, Clinton beats Trump 49-38. All the Trump voters just handing the election right over to Hillary. Yeah, I'm not sure I believe that one.

article on Danks tipping pitches and mechanics.
Can we get a garbage Twins player from last season so he can tell Chris Sale how he was tipping his pitches against them last year?

3/18 vs Cubs
QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 05:10 PM) Maybe Danks hated Drake so much that him leaving will cause him to return to '08 form. Hey I haven't heard Danks comment on this yet, maybe he was one of the guys who didn't like him!

Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 02:46 PM) It seems insane to me that KW might have done this without getting on the same page as Hahn and Ventura It's Kenny. He knows he's nearly untouchable to JR.

Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 02:39 PM) Seriously what kinda person are you take advantage of that. There no way in hell he should be making the Sox take care of the kid too. They're paying him millions to play baseball. The expense of having his kid around is miniscule compared to his contract.

Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) So if Laroche was taking Drake with him on the road was he paying for the his tickets on flights and getting his own hotel room. Was Drake eating food from the locker room. I really hope Laroche was paying for that stuff cause if not the Sox did awful alot for his kid to be there all the time I guarantee you he didn't pay anything.

Who do you believe is MOST guilty in the Laroche situation?
God I want to check so many things on this list.

Adam LaRoche retires
If only we didn't promise LaRoche he could bring his son into the clubhouse everyday. Then we could have spent his $12 million elsewhere last year AND had $13 million more to spend in the off-season this year. That signing looks worse than Adam Dunn's right now and it's not even about the production.

**2016 Video Game Thread**
QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 09:23 AM) I grabbed it last weekend. Probably have about 10 hours into it and i'm level 10ish. I like the missions (though don't do what I did and waste and hour or two trying to solo a level 8 recommended mission at level 6...), but I agreed with a lot of the IGN review....it's not exactly an exciting environment. There's not enough random stuff that happens when running from place to place. And I can see how grinding for another 20 hours to get to level 30 is going to become a little boring since the AI is very repetitive. Still, the missions are fun so far, the customization on weapons is fun. I like building up the various wings in the base. I just wish there was more random AI interference in the non-dark zone areas. I haven't gone to the dark zone yet. Are you supposed to if you're low level? Or will you just get picked off immediately? There's a game rank and a DZ rank. You'll get put into DZ1 if you're low level in the game. If you're higher level, you skip the lower level zones.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 02:17 AM) Holy s***, lvl 26?? How many hours do you have in? I probably free roam more than most people, but at like 14 hours in I am on level 12, and that's because I leveled up twice tonight doing 1 mission w/ random guys. Like 20 hours. I've played the missions with others, so I more or less blow by them.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 12:25 AM) Ok, I REALLY need people to team up with in The Division. My buddy has played like 2 hours in the 10 days he has had the game, and the Dark Zone is impossible alone. I haven't tried the DZ yet, but I'm level 26 in the game.

Adam LaRoche retires
Lots of ESPN articles/videos backing the Sox on this. I think a lot of non-baseball fans will side with LaRoche. This seems like it's more than just a sports story. But most level-headed baseball fans will see through it.

Adam LaRoche retires
Can Eaton stop using Twitter? He already got in some trouble with the Oscars tweet and now he's actively Tweeting against the decision made by the front office of his own team? SMH.

Boston writer creates Hanley Ramirez rumor
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) To be fair, he hit substantially better than LaRoche last year, and is a much better bet to bounce back. But yeah, I'd want most of the contract paid for. Even then, it puts a risky piece in the lineup for many years. Avi hit better than him last year. It'd be buying low on a potential bounce back, but a really really expensive one at that.

Boston writer creates Hanley Ramirez rumor
QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) Oh my god I had no idea he was getting that much. I knew it was big but I thought it decreased. If you thought we spent our money poorly last off-season, Boston outdid us by at least a hundred million with Hanley and Panda.

Boston writer creates Hanley Ramirez rumor
QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 03:51 PM) From a Boston writer: Jay Kenney @RealJayKenney 5h5 hours ago Boston, MA Rumblings today that Hanley Ramirez could be sent to the Chicago White Sox. Nothing concrete though f*** no. Boston better be paying for almost all of it if it's even remotely true.
