QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 10:13 AM) TIM TEBOW HAS BEEN CUT!!!! (I'm surprised they are sticking with GameDay and not having an emergency SportsCenter roundtable) The Patriots are full of sin. Tebow asked for his release. I find this hilarious. "I don't have to put in the effort, God will take care of me."

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 01:45 PM) They'll be split, as will Republicans. The question is how the splits go. There is the possibility for a very, very productive debate and the issues are not so overtly partisan that we might get a good, honest answer I feel like there is very little, if any, partisan debate here. I've seen both Republicans and Democrats calling for a precision strike and Republicans and Democrats both saying we need to stay the hell out. Because of that, this may be the most useful this congress have ever been because they won't get tied up in partisan bulls***.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 01:23 AM) Is Q distancing himself as a better prospect than Hector? Neither of them are prospects. They're both legitimate AL starters. But yeah, Q is better. Quintana is a #2, while Hector is more of a #3. For reference: According to Fan Graphs, Quintana has been the 20th most valuable pitcher in baseball. Hector is the 67th, but that is in large part hurt due to the fact that he didn't start at the beginning of the year. If he had started the entire year, Hector would likely be around where Samardzija is at at 37.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) The completely gloss over the first difference I mentioned, someone that is actually closer to the action than we are. Focus on the racial tones of the other descriptors I used, even though they are true. They ARE different from us, They have a mostly different religion that us (and what few Christians there are there are being slaughtered in the name of Allah) and they tend to have a different skin tone than us. Their whole value system is different than ours, the degradation of women, sanctioned killing in the name of God, death to gays and so on. They are nothign like me, or most Americans. I want nothing to do with them. I'm not gonna argue that this isn't true, but I do want to say that this isn't that far from the opinion of some Americans and I doubt it an opinion of all Syrians and it's not fair to paint them all with a broad brush.

What happened to Hector? Just got home.

Greg ain't a troll. Just a fascinating part of our community.

Why did he have to get hurt. Damn.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) He said: "Your quirks are finely crafted and your comments tailor made to generate frustration on the part of your peers." I will respond to that by saying I write my posts fast and furious. I do not spend a lot of time "crafting" my posts. I write fast and move on to the next topic like in the Filibuster. Let's face it. I'm hated because I LOVE Ozzie and most hate him. I won't write any more about Ozzie in either thread on here since people get so upset. Fast and Furious: greg775

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 06:15 PM) I do not post much and have learned never to respond to anything you say. However, if you are not a troll, then you are the biggest enigma in the history of Soxtalk. Your quirks are finely crafted and your comments tailor made to generate frustration on the part of your peers. You consistently express simple childish beliefs you stick to no matter how much they defy logic, or more importantly, how many times intelligent debate illustrates the glaring flaws in these beliefs. For a while, you were the mentally handicapped brother that everyone put up with as they felt sorry for you, as you had no control over your disability. I would almost be ready to assume you were real and just a simpleton with internet acces. However, when you talk about how you really are a smart guy and how you have a family, I am convinced you are full of it. You were like our Fredo, but the entertainment value of your posts has long passed. Please go away as your commentary only diminishes the value of this site and makes us all dumber for having to read your drivel.

This almost made me pity Ozzie, then his son got quoted and I was reminded this is all Ozzie's doing.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 10:50 PM) That is awesome. Also, time just won't slow down. I can't believe he's already played in 19 games as a Sox player. Not to belittle the advanced stat people, but how do you explain your great stat, WAR, when it is obvious that Avi is a contributing greatly, looks great and has a negative WAR. Give me batting average, on base percentage, HRs and RBIs and SBs as stats and I'm happy. Because he was terrible this year with the Tigers. I like the Garcias.

Sale just told Phegley "Ok, drop the 3rd strike next inning."

He'd need to strike out the remaining 9.

STOP GETTING OUTS THAT AREN'T Ks

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 08:34 PM) We need to trade this guy on the mound immediately for a bunch of unproven prospects. Because he gets mad sometimes. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 08:39 PM) That is f***ing gross Seriously. The f***.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 08:10 PM) I. Was. Thinking. The. Same. Thing. Been thinking it since the first. Let Chris go for it, then rest him a start and let EJ start.

Chris Sale is the reason the Sox are in a better position than the Cubs.

Good throw, no dice.

Sale is fun.

Good at-bat by Leury.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 03:27 PM) I went to Jason's Deli for lunch after "saving" 200 bucks on the last day of the sale at Kohl's here and was reading USA Today. The lead story was about Jerusalem natives getting their gas masks out of concern they might get hit. That would suck for them. I mean, that's a constant risk in the Middle-East when you're Jewish. But I'm sure that Israel has anti-air defenses and then whoever launched a missile would be completely and utterly boned.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 03:17 PM) Do you really think I would bone Hillary? Thanks for the uncompliment. Ben Franklin wouldn't mind. Are you better than Ben Franklin?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 03:19 PM) Is it true if we bomb Syria, then others bomb Jerusalem of all places? Sucks to be in Jerusalem minding your own business then boom! I doubt it. A lot of the Persian Gulf countries are US allies and wouldn't attack Israel. The one that you'd have to worry about is Iran and if Iran wants to get into a battle with an international coalition of the US, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Israel then they can go right ahead and get curb stomped.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 10:30 AM) I would have gone with 2 fifths, but if you can get drunk enough on just one, more power to ya. A+
