QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) Your hatred seems to make reading comprehension an issue for you. I never said death threats were an indictment of all. I expressly said that. Yet here you claim that is what I just said. Have fun in your closed little world. QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 06:20 PM) How is the baker who doesn't want to bake a cake being intolerant? He is saying that he doesn't want anything to do with your ceremony, but go ahead and get married, or whatever, just don't involve me. The other side is saying 'do as i say or we'll force you to do it thru the use of government power'. It is not a crime to think that gay marriage isn't right or against your religion. (a stance I do not share, btw) SO why try and force someone to do something against their will? An example of real 'tolerance' here. http://hotair.com/archives/2015/04/01/cris...r-gay-weddings/ Death threats. Threats to burn the place down. Yeah, way to win over hearts and minds there with your extreme tolerance. 1) Your article is posted by someone too afraid to use their real name in their work and shows an extreme bias in their reporting. 2) He's refusing service on grounds that they're gay. Now what if he refused it because they were Jewish, black, etc.? That's intolerance. Is it his right, sure, but he is turning away income for his business solely because the customers are gay. 3) You use the death threats and threats to burn down the place as an example of the lack of tolerance of the 'pro-tolerance' crowd. Balta merely flipped it to point out that death threats get slung back and forth by both sides. Now, you didn't say it indicts all people in the 'pro-tolerance' group, but you're using it as an example to exemplify the whole. If you take an isolated, extremely vocal minority and use it as an example, that is your implication to paint the picture in your argument's favor.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 06:13 PM) How exactly is the tolerance crowd supposed to be tolerant of intolerance? If they tolerated intolerance, they wouldn't be the tolerance crowd. I feel like this is a riddle.

Neither is shocking.

Jokes on you when he actually does.

I honestly think that Rose seeing them without him might have opened his eyes. It's dumb, but there were quotes from Taj about how he was raving about how Niko opening the floor so much and being so dangerous. He's been conditioned to really not trust his teammates to be this dynamic on offense, maybe now he'll finally learn. Closing lineup of Rose - Butler - Niko - Pau - Noah could be terrifying. Niko and Rose running around the perimeter with slashing ability, Jimmy and Pau posting up, and Noah up top running some ball distributing duties will open up the paint for Pau to go to work. Throw in Snell, Dunleavy and Taj along with situational Kirk/Brooks and you might have something.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 08:39 AM) adding Adams and Micker, can that be reasons enuf??? i just don't know, i don't think so. next yr, the sox system is going to get hammered when Rodon is not listed there. We could have said the same about it losing Abreu, EJ, who many liked as a prospect, and Semien. The draft can hold surprises and other players stocks can shoot up (Especially Adams and Hawkins)

Broussard said that Rose is looking to facilitate once he comes back now that he knows he has Niko, Pau and Jimmy all capable of scoring 20. That would be best if he could facilitate for 3.5 quarters then become Point God for the last 6 minutes, if he still has it in him. It's Broussard though, take it with a grain of salt.

I don't see that at all?

Over with magic glasses. Under without.

QUOTE (staxx @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) Drabek has such a higher ceiling too, would be a horrible move. Yeah, with the circumstances surrounding his acquisition / how little time they had with him, I feel like Drabek is a lock for the roster.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) DAYAN. VICIEDO. IS. NOT. ON. THE. WHITE. SOX. ROSTER. HIS OPS LAST YEAR WAS .686. HE'S NEVER PUT UP AN OPS ABOVE .744 IN A SEASON. YOU'RE INVENTING NUMBERS THAT MAKE NO SENSE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ON OTHER TEAMS ROSTERS FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO CONFUSE ME. BALTA ANGRY.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) Wouldn't you need to keep Danks then? Ehhhhh.

I love Mark Buehrle. It'd be ridiculous to think about but I wouldn't mind Sale-Samardzjia-Q-Rodon-Buehrle. All the lefties!

Also don't forget Conor has played plenty of first this Spring.

Neftali Soto

QUOTE (staxx @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) Basically. I'd take that swap any day of the week too. Same. Still, best of luck to Wilkins.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 09:33 PM) He hasn't gone through 'so many injury issues' this is hours first injury relating to baseball, he just has a small UCL, it was never injured before this. Yeah, one injury is not why you'd pass up on a talent like Aiken.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) So the "Sauce Castillo" nickname (Nick Stauskas) story is pretty funny. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-don...-180042667.html Beauty.

Micah rushes at defense. All he needs to do is settle down.

I love that Hahn didn't just rely on splashy moves. A lot of those claims and minor league deals could pay off.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 08:56 AM) And wow, Ramirez is entering his 8th year with us? Time flies Unless you are Alexei Ramirez and don't age.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) how is parking still such an issue and it's clear just from this thread that people are confused, even hardcore fans that post on message boards, about how exactly best to get to the park. Makes me think the Sox have done a really poor job figuring out how to make it simple for folks. They need something better than "take the train". Well, not everyone can park close.

I like it.
