QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 07:57 PM) Actually, the pretty much get their room keys immediately upon entering the hotel. This isn't like normal people checking in. Its a lot faster turnaround than 3 hours upon landing, checking into their rooms. Room Keys, room keys?? You gotta be kidding me, room keys are used at Red Roof Inns or Motel 6, not high end hotels. Man open your mouth and we have a good laugh here. And States Inn Keeper laws require EVERY guest to sign a register, paper or electronic and present ID. No more dealing with you. Thanks for the laughs. I don't know a lot about a lot of things but hotels I know.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:44 PM) LOL. I love the bigshot gambler who says he "almost" went to the sports book. As I stated why did it take over 3 hours to get from Logan airport to their hotel which normally takes about 20 minutes at most? What other players were on the charter? Dunn has fanned twice. I almost went because I don't gamble. But once again s*** disguised as thought came out of your mouth instead of your asshole.

QUOTE (mike89128 @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:40 PM) That's the reason most of you betters lose bets. Dunn and a few other players flew on a charter earlier in the day, they didn't like the late evening take-off. Know the facts first. You think a minimum of 45 people just arrive at a hotel and get to their rooms immediately? It takes two room clerks about 3 minutes per guest, even with groups, to check them in. Forty five people, minimum, takes a little over two hours, plus unload time from plane, travel time to the hotel, if the bus is waiting, wait for the bus to unload personal luggage,

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:38 PM) First off I don't know why it would take them 3:15 to get from the airport to the hotel. Secondly, these guys are used to being up until 3. They could get their 8 hours in and it isn't even noon. Dunn went out to dinner with Peavy last night, pretty odd if he didn't get to the hotel until 3 am. That's the reason most of you betters lose bets. Dunn and a few other players flew on a charter earlier in the day, they didn't like the late evening take-off. Know the facts first.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:23 PM) Hawk and Stone thinks it's time to shut down Santiago for the season. I absolutely agree with this. Almost went to the Casino sports book to bet against the WS. Yesterday was a off day. So, instead of flying out right after the Astros game, they decided to wait until yesterday. Their flight didn't get into Logan until 11:45 PM, into bed around 3 AM. These guys are tired. Real smart move by the traveling secretary.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:21 PM) I know he's not close on these pitches, but Phegley needs to improve how he frames pitches. Santiago is pitching from the center of the rubber, needs to move to left edge. Catch needed to call outside pitches.

Gammons is on NESN broadcast just told the story of Baltimore players paying all expenses for the bat boys and club house kids on their recent 3 city road trip. Gave the kids major league meal money. Class Act.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 05:40 PM) pretty heads up I hate Boston's slow game tactics. First inning took 27 minutes with no scoring. Pedroia took 22 seconds between each pitch..

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 05:24 PM) The dreaded leadoff walks did not prove to be so dreaded. I truly hope that piece of caca at SS is playing his last games in a white Sox uniform. Dempster can't find home plate with radar and dumbass swings at the first pitch into a DP. However it doesn't surprise me. Ramerez swings at the first pitch 69% of the time, which explains a lot.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 10:40 PM) Oh darn...does Avi ever make contact when he takes his home run swing? When are Sox hitters going to learn on a 3-2 count not to take a close pitch with the game on the line??

Memo to Houston Announcers: There's a game going on below you, get your faces out of tweeter and watch the game.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) This is one sloppy game. Think the Sox have found every way to give away a game.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 06:46 PM) Keppinger sucks so bad . If the Houston color man keeps up that phony laugh, I'm calling couple of da boys.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 06:21 PM) De Aza with an awful baserunning play. What's left to be said? He stinks as a baserunner. The first baseman was closer to home plate than De Aza.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 08:56 PM) You know, even though it's Harold Reynolds, he might have a point there. Particularly if you're going to send up Keppinger, a guy who is supposed to put the ball in play somewhere, why not? With Garcia on third he could have tried the suicide bunt.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) Fail and Fail. Harold Reynolds is jump all over Ventura as a manager. Ranting about him not allowing Flowers to throw through on the steal on the top of the 7th. Something like 'he's got major league arms out there, at least make the runner earn the steal." Then bottom of 7th "boring, boring". First and third no outs and you don't put pressure on the pitcher and infielders by hit and run, steal,movement on the paths. Unbelievable." I personally think Ventura is in over his head.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 20, 2013 -> 07:34 PM) Really was. Didn't think that was possible. Probably tried to make up for not paying attention on Maxwell's throw. Should have been on third.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 20, 2013 -> 07:21 PM) Real nice swings by both Gordo and Dunn in that go around. Where Oh Where do these small market towns get their TV broadcasters? Probably Shady Lawn Retirement Village. Muted the KC broadcast because they sound like they are having a hard time staying awake!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2013 -> 02:54 PM) So what you're saying is that at least we had a chance to take Trout? Yes and our scouts track record should be filed under garbage.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 14, 2013 -> 02:43 PM) So, every loss improves draft position. Yeah just like the 2009 draft. We take Jared Mitchell at 21, Angels take Mike Trout at 23.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 14, 2013 -> 02:33 PM) So you're saying Phegley should have been the PH . Yes! Tank was stone cold after 5 games on the bench and Phegley would have replaced Flowers anyway.

QUOTE (KG#1 @ Aug 14, 2013 -> 02:21 PM) Son of a . . . I quit. Great move by Ventura last inning using 3 players for one at bat. Tank for Flowers and Phegley as catcher. Since Tank and Phegley both bat from right side, I don't understand. Tank and flowers both out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2013 -> 09:27 PM) That was one of the longest balls Keppinger has hit this year Detroit announcers questioning why Danks was asked to bunt against a 100 mph average fastball. Pitcher just elevated the pitch. Also questioning why Sox bringing in a cold pinch hitter for Phegley who has already gotten a hit.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 11, 2013 -> 02:23 PM) DAGGUMITTTT Avisail just missed a homer. The wind is the twins 4th outfielder.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) That was a bad at bat by Tank. Hope he learns how to hit the next 6 weeks and starts out strong next year. Can't somebody teach Tank how to hit?? If not Manto bring in somebody else to work with Tank on developing an approach up there that doesn't require him trying to hit everything 600 feet. Perfect example of the frustration felt by Manto and Baines. Five hittable balls,and he overswung on everyone of them. The guy is regressing big time.
