Quin

Rondo and Wade? This is the worst offseason ever from an emotional standpoint. I f***ing hate Wade.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:46 AM) Quintana is a much bigger snub than Eaton. Especially considering the other pitchers that got in. Has the fWAR leader for a position ever been left off? (Quintana leads AL SP in fWAR, 5th in the league behind Kershaw, Syndergaard, Fernandez and Cueto)

Wow. They just flat out executed the man.

ZACK COLLINS

Caulfield, what?

This is a weird f***ing thread.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) Yeah, seemed like a lot of relievers, which makes sense if you're trying to win the game I guess. It's still bulls*** that a pitcher with the 5th highest fWAR in baseball doesn't get acknowledged as a "star", which is still the point of the game right? Yeah, this qualifies for worst snub ever.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 07:05 PM) Both are in my sig. Here's the starting point of me boiling over. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...3338&st=450 The follow-up, with the GOAT post by J4L. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...p;#entry2492929 Here's J4L's comment. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 5, 2011 -> 12:51 PM) And I did just that. I couldn't in good conscious let this horrendous atrocity continue. I might have kids someday. In fact, I'll provide transcripts of my conversation: DCFS: Department of Children and Family Services, this is Agnus, how may I assist you today? Me: Yes, I would like to report some continuous abuse that I've been observing for the last few weeks. Agnus: Ok, Sir. Can I get your first and last name, please? Me: My name is Jordan4life. Agnus: Jordanforlife? Me: Yes Agnus: OK, sir...can I get your date of birth? Me: 4-1-83 Agnus: OK, sir, go right on ahead and tell me what's going on. Me: Yes, there's this gentleman that goes by the name of Quinarvy. And I've observed him repeatedly, I mean at will, abusing another person, I'm assuming a 12-year old child, by the name of VictoryMC98. Agnus: So you say the two parties in question go by the name of Quinarvy and VictoriMC98? Me: That is correct. Agnus: OK, continue. Me: This has been happening every day for weeks now. I don't really know this Quinarvy guy. But this seems to be, like, deliberate and elaborate on his part. Like he's personally picked this child out. You know, like a predator or a big anaconda that stalks its prey? I've never seen anything like it before. Agnus: Wow, this does sound serious. Me: Yes, I know. I'm a hard-working american citizen. I don't smoke or drink. I'm totally against sex before marriage. I go to Church every Monday, Friday and Sunday. I could no longer look at myself in the mirror and no that such domination was talking place in which one human being was, just, I mean, I can't even explain it. Have you ever seen Roots? Agnus: Roots? I don't think I have. Me: Well, in this film, the lead darkie or black guy, gets his foot chopped off when he tries to escape. That's how severe of ownage this is. Agnus: OK, sir. I really appreciate you coming forward. I need you to go a little more into detail now. This might be hard. But I'm going to need some graphic details as I type up this report. Me: That's what I'm here for. OK, there's this message board by the name of Soxtalk. Agnus: Soxtalk? Me: Yes, Soxtalk. Just a bunch of White Sox fans that converge together and discuss the team. And this guy, who I'm assuming is a child, just kinda comes out of nowhere the last month or so and starts postin' jibberish. Like he's trying to impose his will on the board. Agnus: Jibberish? Me: That's basically slang for bulls***. Agnus: I see. Are you sure Victory is a minor? Me: You wouldn't even ask that if you had observed his writings. And quinarvy just abuses him, you know, intellectually. Like you know how they say never bring a knife to a gun fight? Victory apparently doesn't understand that and for some reason tries to challenge Quinarvy even though he's just not equipped. Agnus: Ok, sir. Now when did you observe the physical abuse? Me: Physical? I didn't say that. This is message board abuse. Just one poster clearly getting the best of another. Abuse is abuse, right? Agnus: Wait, you called DCFS up to report message board abuse? Me: I felt it was my duty. Agnus: OK, sir. Can you hold please? Me: No problem ***About 5 minutes goes by*** ***Really loud banging on the door*** Inaudible - Inaudible Police: Open up! You're being charged with filing a fake abuse report! Call abruptly ends

I'd say me vs. Victory, but that was more of a one sided smackdown.

Or Kalapse vs. Idiots

Moving this to SLaM. Also, the answer is SS2k5 and Balta.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) I like Obama personally, stemming from his love of the Sox and all things Chicago, but I wish he hadn't been such a lousy President. Whether fair or not, I'll remember his 8 years as totally ruining the economy for the little guy (all companies have downsized; there are no jobs out there that pay squat) and increase of terrorism in America, the movie theatre killings, the TV reporter getting killed on the air, the school shootings and Orlando disaster etc. Again don't get me wrong. Love him personally and would love to meet him/shake his hand and say, "Go WHITE SOX" to him. But he should do the right thing and blast the FBI director and he won't. Obama had a great two years that involved him completely unf***ing the country in Bush's ruin and going head to head with the pettiest congress ever. QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 04:51 PM) Can't wait to hear the pundits laugh this one off. This is one where Matthews and the pundits laugh and say; "Like we told you, this was not a big deal. But listen to what Trump did today!!!!! and How bout that nut, Bernie Sanders??" No one gives a s*** about Bernie anymore.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 04:34 PM) Players you omitted: Inherited: Tim Anderson Marcus Semien Trayce Thompson Micah Johnson De Aza (still playing; no value received) Rios (Playoff and WS winning team; L Garcia received) - Anderson wasn't drafted yet. - Semien was the Sox 16th overall prospect. - Trayce was looking more bust than anything. - Micah hadn't broken out until that season. - De Aza had no value. - You are the biggest Rios hero worshiper in existence.

I actually 100% agree with this.

This is a joke. And I feel like they're gonna bust and it will be hysterical.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 11:47 AM) He really should just resign. A disgrace of a lawman. We have officially reached 2 levels of laws, one for us, one for politicians. Officially reached? We've been there since Aaron Burr got off for murder charges.

Ok, I don't do this often. DA and Caulfield, I recommend you guys both download League of Legends and fight 1 v 1.

Oh dear lord.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 02:29 PM) From the 2015 All-Star team... Cain, Hosmer, Perez missed more than a week with a thigh bruise/contusion where Butera had to play, Davis and Moustakas. 1-2-3-4-5.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 02:00 PM) I have a hard time believing both the manager and players will leave Q out. Eh, Donaldson doesn't think high of him.
