Quin

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 09:47 PM) I truly believe Trump is trying to take us down. Anything to make himself feel important.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 08:58 PM) Right, and it was a verbal disagreement, who cares. It's not like Frazier shanked Eaton. That'd be one hell of a plot twist.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 03:24 PM) Gregg Popovich for everything. Employs too many foreigners. But watching Pop as President would be amazing when people try to debate or intimidate him.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 10:04 AM) Happ has not proven anything to this point either. His defense is questionable. Sox should not have rushed Fulmer to the majors in 2016, and a season in AAA will hopefully help him get back on track It's too soon to call Fulmer a bust Yup/ I'm sure we'd be fine with it if not for the rush job / back and forth between the rotation and bullpen.

Logan Forsythe got the #33 prospect in baseball. It's things like this that put the requests for Q in perspective.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 01:34 PM) I keep seeing this observation made over and over again, but how is it that one of the top 3 pitching prospects in all of baseball as recognized by every legitimate source out there is somehow "not good enough" to headline this potential trade for Quintana? The guy IS a TOP 10 prospect in the game, and is actually rated ahead of the likes of the Torres' and Fraziers' of the world on almost every top prospect list out there. Yes, there is a scouting report here or there making certain comments about his stuff, but if it were that bad, he wouldn't continue to be at the top of all of these lists. I think perhaps our fan base's desire for prospects of the positional player variety may be muddling the true value of this guy as an elite prospect in the game today. Torres is going to supposedly rank in the Top 3 in many of the new lists. Really, if the Pirates are stuck on Meadows, the Sox should look at Glasnow / Newman/ Keller / Diaz while flipping Glasnow / Robertson / Cash for a prospect like Robles, Frazier, Tucker, etc.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 01:32 PM) ""Doing something that either protects America or is in our economic interests." -on military action after Trump wink-winking about getting a second go at Iraq to 'take their oil,' my estimate on him launching a war within the year is 50%. Also we won't let the environment get in the way of jobs.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 12:07 PM) It's pretty funny that an entire campaign and its supporters, who ran on ending PC culture, are offended by the language used during the march on Saturday. They've got their own - it's called Patriotically Correct.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 22, 2017 -> 11:26 AM) How can anybody call Obama's eight years "great?" As far as Democrats, I think Carter and Clinton were WAY better. On the Republican side, Reagan was a great president IMO. Barack's reign was classy but he was ineffective. Well, we pay attention for starters.

Rubio today proved he has no spine.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 22, 2017 -> 11:23 AM) McCain and Graham confirmed they're voting for Tillerson, so he's in. f***. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 22, 2017 -> 11:25 AM) http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/mi...a-a7540476.html Double f***.

Can't believe people keep driving under the influence, but rest in peace. Too many of these happening the past few years.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 21, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) Why? I thought it was a nice point to make. Cooper obviously did not want Trump yet was thoroughly professional in covering the 3 inauguration balls and commentary, etc. I always wish well for my country. I'm glad I am not full of bitterness. I despise Hillary but I can assure you if she won I wouldn't have ripped her every move. Now in 3.5 years when the next election season came around? If she stunk as Pres of course I'd have renewed venom toward her. Trump is president. Just as I wished Obama well I wish Trump well. I want my country to get powerful again. I want the economy to grow. He's in charge now. I think everybody should give a clean slate to Trump, but I realize that's impossible. Even a nice thread like this didn't last but 1-2 posts before turning to Trump disgust. Whatever. Peace to you all. You mention Hillary and your hate of her basically in every post. You expect a much more vile human to get rah-rahs?

Meanwhile the Women's March is insane in numbers.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 21, 2017 -> 10:00 AM) Sarcasm? Yes

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 09:37 PM) I dont know where else to post this so I am going to post it here. So I was reading an article and it cited something from twitter. I figured the person from twitter was like a journalist or something. It turned out it was just some random lady from Florida. This has just gotten completely out of control in terms of what is credible reporting. Now granted its USA today, but still it just blew my mind. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politic...-size/96855252/ By her own admission she was watching on TV. Its like quoting me about the weather in Japan. "Everyone in Japan reports that it is raining. But at least one person, Soxbadger, said the reason for the rain was Godzilla was peeing." C'mon guys...

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 02:59 PM) Billy had a hip injury that season which forced him to miss about a month if I remember correctly. Mark Meanwhile the Sox tried to reacquire Minnie, but the price was too high.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 01:16 PM) My friend posted a status asking if Barrack Obama was the greatest President or a great President. Need a couple more options there, fella as the answer is "neither". No, the answer is "great President". He's in the second tier of presidents that follow the first tier of Washington, Lincoln and FDR.

I'll be there all three days.

I think we'll find out who the Democratic forerunner is in two years at the midterms. Some of the Democrats are going to build themselves on fighting Trump.

Donald Trump Is @POTUS, But His Cover Photo Is From Obama’s Inauguration Donald Trump Plagiarized Bane in His Inaugural Speech

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 11:20 AM) yes fun fact as linked by balta in the old thread, a lot of the federal government won't even be in place Monday because Donnie demanded that everyone resign effective now and hasn't even bothered to nominate replacements for all but a handful of positions. but it's also the stated goal of his white supremacist chief policy adviser to destroy the federal government, so they probably view this as perfectly fine and good. ok, now I'm checking out. They actually are now keeping 50 members of Obama's government as interim employees.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 11:18 AM) Didn't Trump already say he was not gonna start working until Monday? Like the Presidency is a M-F job? He wants to spend weekends at Trump Tower or Mar-a-Lago

"There is no room for prejudice" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahhaha
