Fernandez will be the first number retired by the Marlins.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Sep 26, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) Watching everything before the game, the Dee Gordon moment, and after the game made me tear up. My fiancee walked by and asked me if I was crying, can't a man cry a little bit anymore? You couldn't have scripted it. That's one of the most amazing moments in baseball history. The top comment on MLB's FB video was this. "As a Mets fan, I used to think, "I'd do just about anything to not have to face Jose Fernandez." Now I'd do just about anything to be able to face him again."

I cried during the Dee Gordon moment, not gonna lie.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 26, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) I can't really comment on that, but I can't imagine anyone walking away from that excited about Hillary. Unless by excited, you mean, democrats are just so scared of Trump that it means they'll unite with Hillary because of it (not because of her). My dad was beginning to think Trump was gonna win and now thinks Hillary just beat him down.

Trump talked himself into so many flip flops tonight. Meanwhile, Hillary looked like she was toying with him. I didn't expect the offensive attack she had.

This is like watching Adam Dunn face Chris Sale.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2016 -> 02:58 PM) Derrick Rose might be in some deeper trouble. http://www.todaysfastbreak.com/nba-east/ne...rick-rose-case/ Now that it's criminal charges, I can't defend him. It means they likely have evidence.

Greg, you're the one that has basically been advocating starting WW3 with North Korea.

Jose Fernandez was pure joy

God damn.

The video of Dee Gordon on the mound, decorated with #16, is f***ing heart breaking. I couldn't blame the Marlins if they tried to just forfeit the rest of the season.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 10:43 AM) Guy was always having fun. Screw the old players that hate on the new generation of players showing emotion. Its a game. If you had asked me to identify which player represented the heart of the game more than anyone, probably would have been Fernandez.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 23, 2016 -> 11:39 PM) Renting the Cell out for concerts is a dumb idea. Sox must need the money. Or Chance the Rapper (and Kanye) are trying to bring entertainment and fun to the South Side and engage the younger people in society. How you live in a college town is beyond me.

Great player, but more importantly he was always smiling out there. Seemed like the type of guy that was a great role model on the field.

Rest in peace Fernandez, rest in peace.

It's happened plenty of times. http://www.sbnation.com/2013/6/21/4450534/...m-horn-nickname

I'm honestly just numb at this point.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 23, 2016 -> 03:33 AM) You seem to be the media's watcher around here but this is what Google got me before and after my post. Ah. Yeah, I was looking up the arms deal over Rand Paul. Then Google News churns out more results.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/...audis/90742378/ Rand Paul is trying to stop the US from a billion dollar plus weapons exchange with Saudi Arabia. The media is entirely absent. WaPo is the only "reputable" source who has reported on it. Congress will b**** and moan about things that should be decided on a state level for decades but as soon as there is a proposal to sell arms to the Middle East every congress is cool with it. Shameful. I can't get a quote but Paul said in some interview that the US would sell the arms to Saudi Arabia, pick out the targets and then execute. It's not like Obama's administration hasn't already been drone bombing Yemen into complete hatred of America already, but this is just egregious. It was on the wire two days ago. Looks like most places just used the Reuters story. The exchange got through. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-saud...s-idUSKCN11R2LU CNN, Fox News and Huffington Post all had stories on it per a quick google search.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 04:09 PM) Does it have to be one or the other? Individuals who hurt others who don't deserve it are all wrong in my book. Regardless of job, color, sex, etc. The old two wrongs don't make a right saying. Agreed. Both are terrible at this moment.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 02:58 PM) This just reminded of when Bush threw out first pitch at the World Series in New York after 9/11 and threw a perfect strike. As a kid who was a pitcher and entirely nationalistic at the time, I remember being so proud. Had to be the height of his presidency, lol. That's the single greatest first pitch of all time. Nothing will ever top it. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) The greatest trick Donald Trump ever pulled was convincing liberals "maybe W wasn't the worst after all" I think he's a bumbling fool when it comes to politics. But all in all, a good guy.

I really wanted Bush to throw his hat in for MLB Commissioner. While I disagree with him as a politician, I've never thought of him as any but an honorable man.
