Seeing EJ against this lineup will be interesting.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 04:32 PM) I dont like the guy but not sure how thats being entitled. The guy wanted something and went out and got it, and proved he was one of the best HS and college QB's ever. There are alot worse people out there wearing NFL uni's than Tim Tebow. Oh, I know there are worse people playing in the NFL than Tebow. I just hate the fact that home schooled kids can pick and choose public school teams to play on. I've always been of the opinion that home schooled kids should not be allowed to play on public high school teams. And his refusal to play anything but QB in the NFL has doomed his pro-career.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 02:41 PM) I bet he doesn't drink as much now that he's unemployed. Obviously I have no proof. I wonder if I'm the biggest Ozzie fan on the planet. That's food for thought. I could be No. 1 Ozzie backer, though I'm sure there are others running around the South Side. Unless you're my brother, you're not. He's my brother's childhood idol and they have almost the exact same personality.

The reasons I feel Tebow is entitled 1) Home schooled but played HS football, which I hate in principle. But he refused to play anything but QB so he left his first team. He acts like it's his god given right to QB. 2) the "thanks for that" commercial

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Sep 2, 2013 -> 04:49 PM) Why did Q only go 1 inning? Rain delay

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 1, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) Daniel Bard was designated for assignment by the Red Sox. I would hope the Sox pick him up. QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 1, 2013 -> 11:53 PM) Coop can fix him. Wasn't he supposed to be the next big time closer? What happened? And yeah, I'd take a flier.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Sep 1, 2013 -> 09:24 PM) I only took issue, as everyone else, with the fact that you instigated an argument with him to turn around and bash him for arguing with you. Not many people here take issue, or even disagree with the assessment that CH is pretty immature. If I were you I'd stop trying to defend your behaviors and let it go. +1

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 02:02 PM) I have nothing against people who are religious but this is the type of crap that makes one hate Tebow. What a joke. Exactly. Griffin is religious, also an ESPN star and former Heisman winner. The difference is Griffin isn't a douchebag and doesn't act entitled.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 1, 2013 -> 12:02 AM) Bear with me here. I like the fact Obama is going to ask Congress about this issue, but on the other hand I don't like what I heard on the radio today from his mouth. Yes, he seemed like a "weak" leader to me. If Obama wants to f***ing send bombers to send a message, then stick to your guns, Obama and be mean and forceful with your quotes/comments. What I heard today was a guy kind of put it on Congress to decide. He was all calm and meek-sounding if that's the word. I think Obama knows damn well Congress will NEVER vote to bomb Syria. There's no way that many men and women will vote for an aggressive act. No fricking way. By putting it on them he's washed his hands of the matter, so to speak. Now if he was a passionate leader ... maybe they'd take his lead and do it. If he was a passionate leader, maybe he could get something passed once in a while. They will not vote for bombings IMO. No way. I don't like Obama's overall body of work and you know what, if he could run again he'd win again. And again and again. This country is the greatest in the world, but baffles me big time at times. The picture of that little kid dying looking at the blood on his hands is the saddest picture of all time. It is a sign of what may be in store for us all in the future. More senseless killings and someday chemical weapons really really really being a problem all around the world.

TODAY'S CW: Weak President playing politics, making US look weak to world.

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.
