Was that the last time the Cubs and Pirates play this season?

Sox need to lose them all.

Avasail Garcia
I think Avi can improve. He's not exactly hopeless. His problem is pitch recognition. He needs to stop swinging at s*** so he can actually get something to hit.

The Democrat Thread
I can't really picture a scenario where a Republican wins anytime soon. They are a rotten mess as if you look at the debates it's worse than high school.

Didn't Swisher when he played for the Yankees do something like this to the Japanese SS the Twins had?

The Republican Thread
QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) This is one thing I dont get about the socially conservative republicans. Theyre anti abortion and PP but are also the first people to complain that they dont want to have to financially support other peoples mistakes. Its kind of like how liberals are all up in arms about how corrupt police can be but will also blindly support any union. Well congratulations, you created an environment where police can do whatever they want and essentially get away with it. Social conservative republicans don't have a chance in hell of getting elected. They are worried about stupid things like defunding PP instead of what they would do to be better than Obama. It was kind of funny how they just blamed Obama for everything when there was a giant elephant in the room last night.

The Republican Thread
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) Turns out she was referring to a different video, put out by an anti-abortion group. Which wasn't taken at PP apparently. And no one is aware of the context of the video either. She conflated (intentionally or not I have no idea) that with the PP body parts video. That in itself is the problem. The republicans are bellowing about how they must defund PP over a video and the video in question didn't even come from PP.

The Republican Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 10:58 AM) I thought Jeb did pretty well and I agree, his brother did protect the country. I don't think many would disagree with the statement that he made the country safer. Jeb never said he George didn't have his faults, just said the country was a safer place (and the crowd ate it up and other candidates sure jumped in and backed it up as well). In fact, I think the opposite, the way Trump handled that situation could be one of the first signs of weakness for him as I don't think people liked that reaction. But I'm the wrong judge cause I don't like much anything Trump says. Define protect the country.

Fiorina was such a non factor in my opinion. She went overboard as you said with the abortion shindig but all in all I don't think she did enough to say she's not a loony toon like the rest of them.

The Republican Thread
QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 07:38 AM) I think Kasich by far would make the best President of any candidate from either party, but the Republican primary voters are just way too far right to nominate him. Jeb is in a no-win situation. If he defends his brother he's defending a lot of bad decisions, if he doesn't defend his brother then he's viewed as betraying his brother to win votes. Kasich is better than Hillary but Bernie Sanders is the man right now.

The only republican that seemed tolerable was that Governor from Ohio, John Kasich.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) Decent chance this streak gets broken on Sunday but this stat is insane: It's been 17 games since Rodgers threw his last interception in a home game. That's a streak spanning 512 pass attempts. He's had 41 touchdown passes in that span. When is the last time Rodgers threw a pure interception?

9/15 vs Oakland A's
QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 10:32 PM) Lexi and Leury do the job. Glad I tuned in in time to watch. Can you believe how bad Shark is? Some GM is gonna give that guy 15-20 mill a year for 4-5 years?? My gawd, sports are disgusting in how they throw away money. Do you really think he's going to get that much money? He is going to end the season with 5+ ERA!

That is a good question... is the Shark Cage still around?

I agree that Rodgers is a magician. Nelson is good but AArod will put the ball where it needs to be. By the way for you peeps that think I'm basing his status on his comebacks, that's just a piece of the pie. He led the league in most pass categories last year. I personally just think the guy has turned a corner. Vintage Romo throws a pick on that drive last week and the 2 interceptions he threw weren't even really his fault.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Sep 14, 2015 -> 08:53 PM) What? You're right it doesn't imply top 3, you specifically ranked them 1, 2, 3. I know and as I said, I stand by what I said. So is there a need to discuss this further?

Avi blown away on 3 pitches. Trayce works a full count for a K. Who wore it better?

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Sep 14, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) You're the one trying to make Romo out to be an elite top 3 QB and then proceeding to make excuses as to why he's never quite performed like the elite QBs. The elite QBs don't need the excuses. You're just making s*** up man. I said top 5 first of all and Romo has came along way from what he was before.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Sep 14, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) The most sacks Romo has ever taken in a season is 36. In 2011 Rodgers took 36 sacks and set the single season QB rating record and went 14-1. In 2012 he took 51 and still managed a 108 QB rating. Thank you for reassuring that Rodgers is a deity among men, what does that have to do with anything?
