QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 01:21 AM) I do not want any applause for what I am about to share. I am appalled by this case and the verdict of course. My best wishes to the victim. Sad what she had to go through! I'd like to ask all of you if you ever were in a similar situation. I was in college and at the bar drinking what they call schooners of beer here. It's like 3 beers in one. I probably had 3 of em and was pretty buzzed. I wasn't driving. My roommate was. At the bar I started talking to some girl and my friend started talking to her friend. After the bar closed, my roommate drove us to their dorm and we went up to their respective rooms. I had decided to pick up this girl, ostensibly for a college one-nighter even though I didn't think she was that cute/hot, whatever. But I had decided to go for it as she made it clear I could pick her up. Anyhow, we get to her room and a delayed drunkenness hit her hard. She was all woozy and basically passing out. She was kind of continuing to flirt. My brain (thanks, Mom and Dad for raising me right) immediately said, 'well that's that, no sex tonight.' I put her in her bed, put her blanket on her, said goodbye and put a garbage bin next to her bed, exited her room, and somehow located my friend and busted up his tryst so he could drive me home. He was pissed of course. I think his 'date' ended up coming with us, lol. I never ever considered taking advantage of somebody in a drunken stupor/passed out. It turned out she was a little sister to our frat and at our next function she had a friend come up to me and say how much her friend appreciated my behavior and how she was too embarrassed to thank me. Her friend told me she wanted me to ask her out. I never did. Have any of you had similar situations in college where your 'date' or 'pick up' was passed out like that? How did you handle it? Haven't had that experience no, but you're a good man Greg.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 11:43 PM) Will they still have the California primary if she's got the nomination? If they do have it ... now Hillary has ANOTHER built in laughing point if Bernie wins yet another primary. She'll just laugh and say, "I am the nominee, so in effect, I won today." And she'll brush Bernie off her lapel like the innocent gnat he proved to be. It's also sad cause these reports might keep people home and again harm Bernie's chances. This is such bulls***. It's all fixed. The Democrat higher-ups wanted Hillary, they got Hillary. If I was a Bernie supporter no way in hell I'd support Hillary after this fix-job. it's ridiculous. They made it so tough on Bernie. whatever happened to the Democratic process in the f***ing Democratic party? There was no fix, but now King Bernie the Sanctimonious wants a coronation at the DNC instead f the democratically elected nominee.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) I'm not a trump supporter at all, but hillary and the entire media need to get off this racist crap. The guy is bringing issues to the forefront that career politicians haven't the balls to speak of. And I get both sides of it but this taking words too literally needs to stop. For example: The Syrian Refugee thing. Like all Drumpf's saying is the idea of thousands of refugees coming here scares the s*** out of people. Sure the way he said it grabbed headlines, but cmon, does anybody HONESTLY think Drumpf hates Muslim people? Of course not- you'd be naive to think he supports the inhumane. The American people are scared of terrorism and they deserve more than a wide-open door. They need to know that government is "on the muthaf***a", so to speak. Somebody needs to bring it up. The Mexican rapist thing. All he's saying is the f***ing cartels are scaring the s*** out of our border residents, and people cross over all day wihout much stopping them. White's and Hispanics down there are scared to death that murderers, rapists, whatever run free in towns like Laredo etc. But the media spins it that ALL Mexicans are rapists blah blah. STFU. While only a small percentage of our population, border people are scared to death. What's wrong with shoring it up down there...or at least talking about it without political redtape soaking the issue. Immigration and the border has made zero progress in decades. Same s*** every day. I'm not voting for Drumpf but I'm glad he's changing the culture of politics a little bit. He's the first candidate I can remember that doesn't seem like a puppet. Hillary is a total puppet. And now she needs to get in the ring snd fight. Can't wait for the debates to start. We'll see how presidential she is in the face of raw power coming at her. I have no doubt she'll murder him in debates. She has incredibly thick skin, he's got incredibly thin skin. He won't have Jeb! to push over either. He's locked in the room with her, not the other way around.

Finally saw The Jungle Book. Fantastic. Gonna go see The Nice Guys next.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) The bottom line is the media wants Hilary to win badly and is doing all in its power to make it happen and will continue to do so. Drumpf is an evil jerk, we all know that. Hillary is just as bad a person, actually probably worse. The choices are stupifying. They are beyond belief. We are voting between Donald Drumpf and Hillary CLinton?? Thank goodness presidents have very little actual power. Nah

Albers....bro...

Here's hoping Jason will be fine.

A lot worse things than honoring the negros leagues

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 11:41 AM) Eh I'd rather have Semien, Phegley and Bassitt (who would probably be healthy with the Sox training staff) than merely Gavin Lux. I'd rather have Corey Ray and Gavin Lux. I'm also taking into consideration how bad Shark was. Also, wouldn't rather have Phegley, only assuming on Bassitt and I'll take Anderson and Lawrie over Semien.

If we get Ray and Lux... 1) We will have secured the League of Legends fan base 2) Samardzjia will be worth it

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 06:40 AM) It's more of he's better than the other two remaining candidates. Not much more to say than that. Complete lack of experience, racist, sexist. Yup. Better.

Someone remind me how Rauner got elected?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 08:28 PM) If he wasn't 24 in A ball I would feel better First year starting.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 01:22 AM) Quintana better in BB/9, K/BB, HR/9, ERA, FIP, xFIP, WAR. Or as you said....just ERA. Yup, right now Q has been the best pitcher in the AL. Sale basically had one bad start that put even a slight amount of distance between the two.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 10:59 AM) He should be. He's a lefty bat, which the team needs. He plays 1B above average, and it might be good to get Abreu to DH some days. The DH slot is currently manned by a guy who doesn't hit righties well (Garcia). He draws a ton of walks, gets on base (always a need). And he gives you a PH option, especially in interleague games, that likely does much better than Sands. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) He's only been a 1B and DH in his pro career, so no, I don't think so. That's the big weakness there. But then let's be honest, how often has Sands played OF this year? And with 3 starting OF's plus both Shuck and Garcia, that's 5 outfielders. Sands really is only a 1B on this team anyway. These reasons pretty much point to the fact that Hayes should be here instead of Sands right now. It just makes sense.

Matt Cooper is having himself quite the unexpected year.

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) This team just doesn't have enough talent or the manager to be good. It's that simple. This team has made the playoffs 5 times in 40 plus years including numerous choke jobs. Even the 2005 team let a 15 game lead drop to 1.5 in 6 weeks. That is the historical perspective that scares me. 40 years ago has no bearing on today. This is a team driven by momentum, that much is clear. Texas derailed that, but hopefully this weekend will right the ship.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 10:41 PM) The media should put all its resources into this story as well as the Hillary email story. Pursue both aggressively and see if both candidates get exposed for being frauds. It's simply hard to believe these are the candidates of the 2 major parties. You have an egomaniac elitist madman in Drumpf vs. an egomatic elitist madwoman in Hillary. Both are embarrassments to the country. Meanwhile, Bernie is considered a nut for some reason and all those other Republican candidates were severely flawed as well. I think Biden should have run vs. McCain. Two good candidates. What in all hell?

Ah yes, White Flag part two is exactly what we need.

He can play first supposedly.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ May 31, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) I think that's awesome. My company is too client-facing to get away with that, but if I worked at a place where it was all internal to the company, I don't see why you wouldn't be allowed to wear whatever you want. i.e. My current client (a major clothing retailer) allows the people (whether salaried or hourly) in their distribution centers to wear whatever - i.e. shorts and a tshirt. But at the corporate office(s), their dress code is standard business casual. Don't get me wrong. Whenever we go out to events that dictate dressing nicely, we do. Otherwise people will go on our livestream in their day-to-day outfits. It also seems to put guests at ease.

Almost went to the damn game. Ugh.
