Who says we can't shoot!?

WE'RE ALL IN, BABY

My dad was listening to Rooney and Farmer, he couldn't stand the Fox announcers. Radio was slightly ahead of the game, so he sat there with his headphones in. Suddenly he gets this grin and starts fist pumping in his seat, so my mom and I figured they got the last out but god damn did the three of us erupt in celebration after they won. Played Celebration by Kool and the Gang in the house. And the next day I pissed off every single Cubs fan around. Anyone saying that only Red Sox fans will know what Indians or Cubs fans will go through is so, so very wrong.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) Some were policy decisions, others went far beyond and he was blamed for the "culture" that was tolerated, which was and is still bulls***. You're right, they don't have the time to micromanage, so they appoint people that they believe is the best person for the job. And when those people fail to run their departments, it reflects on the person who appointed them in the first place. ...like Ashton Carter?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) Technically, more people have insurance now with Obamacare than before (so more people would have some form of coverage). I agree that there are disasters and major issues with it. To me you either go single payer or you don't. That is the only way it can truly work successfully. Whether as a country we are ready to do that while still having the right standards in place to ensure we have high quality care, incentives for innovation in the medical industry (as well as incentives for doctors to go through all it takes to be a doctor). Not an easy solution. The interesting thing is once you turn 65, everyone in this country is all for a single payer model (i.e., medicare / medicaid). prior to that, burn in hell if you want to socialize medicine. What gives? Some sort of bias towards believing we need to care for the elderly but no one else?

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 11:14 AM) Sorry, I wrote "does" instead of "did" in my original post. My bad. You're all good. My confusion was just running high.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) Just like the VA scandal, which still continues without much coverage, Obama gets yet another pass on some terrible management/policies when it comes to our vets. How does no one in his administration raise a hand and say this is bulls*** and a terrible idea? Did you miss the first two words in this thread title?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 10:35 AM) dan haren ‏@ithrow88 13h13 hours ago Two years ago I beat Corey Kluber 1-0....Today, I walked my 2 pugs while wearing a "pug life" t-shirt. Life comes at you fast. Amazing.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 10:18 PM) Except the Cubs were actually able to get runners on base against Miller. That doesn't bode well for Cleveland for the rest of the series. They need Miller to be what he was against the Blue Jays to make up for their lack of starting pitching. That was on Miller, not the Cubs.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) Can't wait for Schwarber to hit a 3 run shot to tie this somehow... Bruh

The Obama photo killed me.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) You can say that again. I bet at least 60-65% of their fan base is bandwagon/post 2010 fans. I actually tried to get into hockey in 2009. Liked Havlat the most on the Hawks. Then just decided hockey isn't for me. So I'll pull for the Hawks out of city pride, but don't proclaim myself as a fan.

Schwarber just seems like a bad idea.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 24, 2016 -> 07:01 PM) If I am trading with the Yankees, and assuming Sanchez is either off the table or value is skyhigh, then go after Gleyber Torres and Clint Frazier If I'm trading with the Yankees and Sanchez is off the table, Sale and Quintana are off the table. He had a great rookie debut. They've had great years.

All praise be to Jobu.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 11:46 PM) You don't understand my point about entering the election later than he has? I do, but then you know, the American people make a rushed decision. The more they see of him, the easier it is to see he isn't presidential material. And it's his fault that he sexually assaulted women and bragged about it, not the medias' fault.

They traded for the wife beater. Here's to them losing.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 11:30 PM) Now we are back to greg is scum posts. Look, I said if Trump had entered the race late, none of this stuff would have surfaced because of uh, the time frame. If he enters the race six months later, we have the election and he's still talking about a wall and being an untraditional politician. It's because you're basically saying that it's the media's fault that he sexually assaulted all those women. And no, Hillary shouldn't be in jail.,

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 01:27 PM) Thing is ... Trump just went on stage at the debates and blew them away with insults and saying how great he was and how he'd be the only one who could beat Hillary. He single handedly pared the field and turned Cruz into what was perceived as an idiot/clown. Had Trump not run, just think, one of the real politicians would have been the republican candidate, assuming Cruz or Bush beat out Carson or Fiorina. So with Trump out of the running maybe Cruz would have caught on or Fabio. Except Cruz is insane.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) LOL. THAT'S what hurt Trump? Ok Greg. Stopped reading after that. The bragging about sexual assault / being a threat to the American experiment doesn't have an effect.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 12:57 AM) Sale or Quintana sure are looking good to the Dodgers right about now. And the Red Sox.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 12:34 AM) Yeah its really not tears/crying, "been waiting my whole life" worthy unless you're at least in your 40s haha this girl hasn't suffered long like many. I had people saying they waited all their lives for last year. So, reaching the NLCS. Or another started crying when she became a fan...three years ago.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 05:09 PM) I enjoy their games, I have never denied that. I also enjoy other systems, I just chose to stay with Nintendo because I love the first party games. Every time they come out with anything Q blasts it, for no reason other to say Nintendo sucks. I get it, people think they are always a step behind with their consoles, but they still manage to thrive. And the games are pretty good. They just haven't had the volume It's a fair criticism of me, I'll take it. I do wish they just started focusing primarily on software because that's where they excel. Wii and Wii U were just harsh departures from the Gamecube (which is one of my favorite consoles). Wii at least was successful, Wii U seemed doomed from the start because Nintendo insisted on being different. They're make a return to standard controls, which is a step in the right direction, but then there's a bunch of reasons to be skeptical of the Switch, especially because the Wii U was a flop.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Actually the Red Sox offense was better than the Cubs this year. Best in baseball And coincidentally, the Indians shut them down.

A-Rod comes off as a natural broadcaster.
