QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 11:56 PM) I understand where you're coming from. When I started dating my girlfriend in March of last year she was aware that I work out basically every day. We moved in together in December and me working out has bothered her ever since. Especially when I record the Sox games and go downstairs to workout. It's not like I take 3 hours to watch the games, instead I take about 45 minutes to an hour, however long I make my workout that day. But my girlfriend and I are having tons of issues right now unfortunately. It's been a busy 16 months between moving in together and getting her pregnant within 2 months of dating. We have a near 6 month old daughter who I really love and so does she, but the love for each other has seem to become extremely complicated sadly. We annoy each other and get into arguments every day it seems. Plus she absolutely hates sports. Such as this past weekend, her dad was getting remarried and had a wedding rehearsal on Friday. I manage the softball team that I play on Friday nights and I hadn't missed a game since high school because of baseball, but I missed this one because of the wedding rehearsal. We went weeks arguing about me wanting to leave early to play softball and finally I gave in because I feel my relationship is more important than softball even though I hadn't missed a game in this league in 9 years. So 15 minutes before our game time she tells me that I probably didn't need to be there in the first place and if I wanted to go to softball I could, which of course pissed me off. But with our relationship now, it's just so distant. We both want to be around the baby, but I honestly think that's probably the only reason we're still together. We don't have a lot of things in common and our work schedules aren't parallel with each other and honestly right now I'm happy about that. I'm sure there's someone on this site that's been in my shoes before with this situation. I still love my girlfriend and love my baby more than I've ever loved anything, but my relationship is looking more and more bleak as the weeks go on. I'm starting to feel it's not worth dating her just because we have a baby together and it's very painful to realize that could be the only reason we're still together currently. We're planning on going to a counselor as a last chance to see if we can work this out. I suppose I'm just tired of the fights, and looking for a place to sleep once every couple weeks for the past few months. Packing my stuff to move out 2 times already too. Damn dude. Your situation is the epitome of being between a rock and a hard place. It put things in perspective about relationships for me. I just don't have things as tough as probably most. I know being around people excessively will cause both parties to see the worst in each other. I really hope both of you can work it out for your child's sake. I see so many parents stay together when they absolutely want to decapitate each other for the sake of the kids. My girl simply annoys the s*** out of me with her excessive syrupy-ness, her obsession with animals, and her adolescent speak. Other than that, she's alright.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 01:35 PM) Well that is because a not guilty verdict is evidence, its not a finding of fact. The OJ trial didnt prove he was "factually innocent", but the Zimmerman trial (to my best understanding of how the law could be applied) found that Zimmerman was lawful in shooting Martin. Unless the jury just didnt believe that the Prosecution proved that Zimmerman actually shot and killed Martin. Zimmerman didn't have to prove s*** to the state since they brought the charges on him. The state had to prove that Zimmerman did what he did with ill intent. The not guilty verdict just means Zimmerman won that aspect. He's not innocent by any means.

Question for Jenks and any other lawyers... What would be the adv for GZ being found innocent versus not guilty?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 01:56 PM) All I'm gonna say is that it's a real b**** move to pull out a gun in a fist fight. So now George is a softie pushover (let's ignore his anger issues and violent past) and Trayvon is a teenaged killing machine...ok. The man doesn't have a shred of pride left but at least he's alive... for now. He practically had a witness berate him and call him a giant f***ing p**** to save his skin. Not sure if I would want to go out like that.

GZ's life is super f***ed. He'll have to leave the country if he's not convicted. The man will truly never be free. That in itself supports two tragedies already.

He has a new approach that's working for him. Let's see what happens.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 02:09 PM) He was hit earlier in the game, as was Tank. Just a high up and in pitch when he started towards the mound. Ah the gamecast said he was HBP. Thing is practically worthless.

I thought he got HBP. Why did he have to bat?

I don't understand these baseball codes. You can only throw in when the moon is full. You can't throw out if a ball girl is on her period. I should wikipedia this s***.

So why throw at Alexei? I don't get it.

Update? I can't watch the game at work.

I can't believe the Tigers are throwing at people. They are a first place team and the SOX are bottom feeders. f***ing idiots.

Remember when T-Flo hit that grand slam in Seattle when he first came up...

As it should be dismissed.

They'll balk on 2nd degree murder but manslaughter... they might boink him there.

Alright, rant time! I am a QWERTY man and finding a quality QWERTY is like finding a hobo with a job. I have this Samsung Stratosphere and it's the absolute worse piece of s*** ever. I am due for an upgrade. Are there any good Verizon 4G LTE phones that are quality smartphones?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 09:22 AM) I think she is Chinese. She does work on all kinds of crazy algorithms and what not for our load (electricity) forecasting models and our weather forecasting models. She's really thin and quite possibly anorexic...I swear she walks up and down the stairs and around the building like a hundred times a day for exercise. She wears all this crazy s*** but no one says anything to her Well saying she's thin and anorexic to describe an Asian woman is like saying honey is sweet. =) I worked for a Japanese company before. They are so strict with dress codes that I could never see a serious Japanese worker wearing them. Now I work with a couple of Chinese women, (one younger; one older). The younger one wears all sorts of attire (short shorts, daisy dukes, etc...). The funny thing is we work in a lab... so while she's off trying to be beautiful, she'll spill some chemicals on her bare body. SMH

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 09:58 AM) We have a PhD here that is of some form of Asian descent (I am not sure which). She wears all kinds of crazy stuff, including fishnet stockings and the like...no one says anything to her about her attire because they are just afraid of getting called insensitive to her culture (my guess, anyway). What do you do and where do you work? Sounds Korean to me maybe Chinese. In no way is she Japanese.

Should be interesting with these pitchers throwing up meatballs.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 02:29 PM) Why would people let it go? He's still on the roster. He's messing up their financial flexibility in epic fashion and not giving them the #2 scorer and solid interior presence that people wanted. He only gave them 16 a game even with Rose out and he's likely starting to decline. POTD

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 11:19 AM) Someone read my post! http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2013/07/10/ill...icago-violence/ Funny that she called Rahm, Ron. And she's from Chicago. There are a lot bigots in the comment section.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 09:59 AM) They've been healthy for two years in the regular season under Thibs. They got the one seed both times. They made it to the conference finals in his first season with a pretty young core and no shooting guard. I really don't know how you can come to the conclusion that the Bulls will never win because they lost in Thibs' FIRST season as head coach in the conference finals and then Rose tore his ACL. J4L logic. You just have to be on his level...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 09:49 AM) I have an intern working for me that bathes in cologne every morning. I need to tell this kid to lighten up on it a bit. You really hate freedom, don't you.
