TfoREstES For Greg

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) But we already base some laws around that. There's a minimum test of competency to drive a car here. Why? Because someone who does not know how to operate a car is a major danger to the rest of society. I know that the Second Amendment, in theory, creates the distinction between firearms and cars, but to me they aren't that dissimilar - particularly when confronted with the Open Carry guys. Just make it so everyone can have access to a firearm. However, if they fit the profile of someone that will use it in a mass shooting, then they have to pay more for the gun. But, they still have access to top of the line guns.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 03:35 PM) Everything done is simply to undo what Obama did, regardless of value to the American people. Terrible And if a Democrat follows Trump and undoes this s*** storm, the GOP will scream "SEE! YOU DO IT!!! #BOTHSIDES!"

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 10:09 PM) David Robertson, in save situations, has given up four hits this year. 41 AB, 4 BB, 4 hits. He definitely seems like someone that needs the pressure to succeed.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 09:51 AM) Why would that be funny or a surprise? James Shields is a respected veteran with a good MLB career under his belt. Because of all the hate he gets here. It'd be hysterical if he's the reason Giolito got fixed and returned to Ace potential because of how much people despise Shields.

Gut reactions with no research at the moment 1. Moncada 2. Kopech 3. Robert 4. Giolito 5. Hansen 6. Collins 7. Lopez 8. Fulmer 9. Burger 10. Stephens 11. Basabe 12. Dunning 13. Engel 14. Burdi 15. Adolfo 16. Sheets 17. Delmonico 18. Skoug 19. Adams 20. Fisher 21. Call 22. Gonzalez 23. Guerrero 24. Cooper 25. Zavala 26. Danish 27. Booker 28. Alvarez 29. Curbelo 30. B. Hickman

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 04:16 PM) Meh. Peavy was mediocre for them, even in the playoffs. We can still win this. Tigers have the lead.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 02:54 PM) Nats about to sign edwin jackson. Should solve their issues. Bryce Harper may kill someone

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 08:26 AM) Wasn't that guy special forces though? Hard for local PD to deal with someone of that caliber. I know he was military. But now take a situation where it's just an average Don't Tread on Me against someone who has prepared for s situation for a long time.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 07:26 PM) Happ now with 7 homers, 218 average but 800+ ops. Schwarber still mired under Mendoza Line at .171 Should have traded Schwarber once it became clear he couldn't field.

Lmao, if James Shields is what turns Giolito around.

We didn't, so please stop generalizing. And if we're going to generalize, the biggest snowflakes are the GOP right now.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 09:55 PM) Well it was a 'good guy with a gun' that saved them, so why not? One of the members stated that if it wasn't for the one guy standing up and shooting back, he would have walked around the dugout wall and shot them all. Would you rather they all be dead to satisfy your anti-gun stance? You always imagine a scene where everyone whips out a gun and goes to shooting, but that doesn't happen. You don't need everyone, just a few. My gun is to protect ME. I have no desire to be hero-on-the-spot, I am not rushing to go shoot the bad guy, but if he is trying to shoot me, I will shoot back. Assuming I am not in a gun free zone, that is. The counter argument is the Dallas shooting last year. There were s lot of good guys with guns.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 12:50 PM) I really want that third pick and hope two go before Beer. If we don't get him then I really would hope we take Gray over Kowar. If Burger and Beer doesn't happen, you'll hear Brooks Boyer flip a table.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 08:38 PM) Not true. He is returning to Oregon State next season. His Coach and the University President are behind him -- publicly. As of now, he will be part of the team next year. None of knows what he did or didn't do 6 years ago, and I'm not so sure that this is doing any good for anyone other than the so called journalist who broke the story. No one knows who tipped him off. I doubt if it was the victim's family We do know, because a real journalist investigated.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 03:20 AM) Cool, so we drafted a 50 year old. He is instantly old for every level. Or did Scott mean great-grandson? Trump is 70 with a 10 year old

QUOTE (Soha @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 01:04 AM) Might be posted somewhere else, but Bleacher Report listed the Sox as losers of the draft. They didn't like the Burger pick, and in general thought the Sox were in a position to be bold, but instead played it safe. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2715517...gramming-league It's amusing because Callis loved their draft and he was one of the biggest Kendall backers.

I will add: f*** this guy. Make your damn point at the ballot. Thank god the police were able to save the day.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 12:25 AM) Why? All these incidents are heartbreaking and horrible for the USA. Because nothing will happen. Ryan's speech felt hollow. I hope Scalise lives and that this never happened, but my heart doesn't ache in this case.

Sleep.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 05:57 PM) http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/14/politics/pau...lise/index.html Paul Ryan gave an excellent speech...no arguments with anything said If only it was given when a grade school got shot up.

I'm so wildly indifferent to this shooting it's insane.

Who is Coleman? All I'm seeing is he's Vandy and from the ACE program

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) Yep. The more pieces that fly around, the more complicated the deal gets. I can't believe it didn't dawn on me. Rick would only get this complex for a three team deal, which we know he loves three ways.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 02:22 PM) I mean this is where I say it doesn't do the Sox any good to "bundle." We are not selling out of a junkyard on American Pickers. The only scenario wherein it makes sense for us to make this sort of deal is for quality, IMO. Quality = Robles. Basically, I am willing to overpay to meet your need in order to get back THE player I absolutely believe can fill a great need of my own. Otherwise, I'll trade you Kahnle for Soto and 2 other pieces, or Robertson for Kieboom and 2 other pieces. At least that is how I would envision it. I'll admit I chuckled at American pickers.
