QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 02:25 PM) Now that Trump picked a chump, you just know Hillary is dying to pick a woman to be her running mate. I'm sure she's just a tad bit torn however. She's probably not wanting to push her luck going with an all female ticket. My prediction is she'll do so, however. She knows Trump is weak and has no chance in hell of beating her. I'm sure she'd much rather have a female pal in Washington to shoot the breeze with on a daily basis the next eight years rather than some gruff man. My guess is she's dying to pull the trigger and name a fellow female but a tad scared SOME members of the public might freak out and be afraid of two women in charge. Is Warren on the record saying she won't accept a Veep bid? greg can I please hire you as a personal troll, I know many blogs that are looking for grade A premium trolls such as yourself.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) Saw the new Trump/Pence logo and immediately thought of The Great Cornholio. Is that seriously their logo?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) So as with cauldfield, you assume every conservative is a rich, good for nothing politician? Is the current military made of all draftees? I was being facetious but I do believe some elitist, politics be damned believe this to be true. The military has a mix bag but a lot of poor people enlist because they don't have really have anything else to do.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 05:50 AM) Do you think all the die-hard Republicans in this thread are volunteering to send their sons and daughters to fight against ISIS? Funny how that works. Last time they did a survey, it was something like only 3 or 4 children of Congressmen/wmen or Senators were in active duty military service. They want to send the poor brown and black people to fight their wars while they are at home in their mansions drinking a nice aged scotch, neat of course!

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 09:32 AM) You libs kill me(no pun intended).. Considering I'm not a lib I guess your point is always moot. That's ok man, when you live in fallout shelter for too long, everyone starts to look the same.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) Not a zinger. Just parroting my commander in chief. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight I wonder if it was a Republican president that said this if you would be doing the same? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 12:45 PM) What are you talking about? Mike Pence will attract many young people, women, and minorities to the Trump ticket. My bad. You're right.

My god. There is no end to the violence.

QUOTE (BurlyMan56 @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 01:44 PM) I don't post offen but have been a Soxtalk daily reader since 2003. I signed up on this site when I was 15. I am now 28. Soxtalk has always been my place for Sox news. I am a Southsider and moved to Dallas a few years ago but catch the Sox everytime they are here in Arlington. I am active Dallas PD. I have been on for 4.5 years and currently work in the division where 6 of the officers were killed/injured. I lost 3 of my good friends that I worked alongside day by day, rode bikes with, made significant arrests with, helped people, ate dinner with and had personal relatioships with. The officers lost were great guys. The three killed were in my assigned squad. I was scheduled to be at work Last Thursday and would have been right next to them. However, I took the day off because I took my wife's friends back to the airport that night and soon thereafter my phone began to be flooded with calls and texts. We have received an overwhelming amount of support from the DFW community and across the nation. I ask support/prayers/thoughts from my Soxtalk community as I bury two more of my friends the next two days. I'm sorry for your loss. Be safe sox brother.

Trump should have definitely chose a person of color to be his VP. Old white guys for the win I suppose. GOP is throwing this election again. That should be a f***ing crime.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) Why isn't he clearly a democrat? He has left leaning tendencies for sure but he's an independent! Why would the DNC allow him to come in and kick over their tea party?

BS didn't have a chance. I don't even know why he bothered trying to be a democrat when he clearly isn't one. HRC will be a horrible president most likely but the alternative of Trump will probably scare a lot of people into voting for her.

Who gives a flying f*** if austinillini is a cubs fan? Meathead fans just have nothing better to do with their time.

Maybe Lawrie should do less RKOing and less K-ing.

LOL @ THIS THREAD

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 10:07 PM) Man, the disrespect Quintana has gotten... I searched his name to Twittter only to find Red Sox fans complaining that he's pitching over Wright, or tweets like this: Sam Fick ‏@FammySick Michael Fulmer: 9-2 with a 2.11ERA as a rookie. Jose Quintana: 7-8 with a 3.21ERA... man dude we even have alleged sox fans thrashing him... in this f***ing forum ffs.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) They're going to have to start looking into tampering more like the NBA. Did anyone here want the Sox to sign Daniel Murphy? I'm sure some did but after he was a butcher in the WS, people may have got cold feet.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) Chances of scoring multiple runs against this line-up of relievers is slim and none... Started out as a pretty entertaining game but now has reached the Bataan Death March of Dominating Relievers shutting down offense. Yeah the AL has some serious shut down relievers. Is it Miller then Chapman?

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Didn't dispute that. He's coveted for sure (which would be nice to take advantage of). Just wish people didn't act like he was the end-all, be-all of underrated pitchers because his fWAR is second in the AL (to Kluber, I believe, which is itself befuddling). Ok I don't know who the hell you've been talking to but end-all, be-all? People just say he's underappreciated, unlucky, and a good pitcher. Did Q boink your gf or something?

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) Did I say anything about his record compared to Quintana's? Since I didn't, I'm not sure why you're bringing run support. Pretty irrelevant. I don't hate Q. I just think the fact that he's underrated around the league on the whole is more than compensated for by the amount of nut-hugging he receives on this board. Ok man we'll just agree to disagree.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) The flavor of the day is "salty". most definitely dude doesn't even know how many people would kill to have a pitcher like Q on their staff.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) Dunno, dude. Maybe it has something to do with Sanchez having a better ERA, ERA+ more quality starts and high quality starts, more IP/GS, and a lower homerun rate than Quintana. But hey, he did as poorly in the pointless AS game (we won't be in the World Series, so this game is effectively pointless for us) as "the best lefty in the game not named Clayton Kershaw". So f*** him. Yawn. Look at the run support he gets. It's amazing. You're a Q hater, I get it but your baseball knowledge is pretty shoddy, dude.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) Look at his stats. Sanchez has great stuff and has been a key cog in Toronto's starting rotation. It's also his first extended run as a starter after being converted from the bullpen. I mean...Johnny Cueto's on track to win the NL Cy Young and he got absolutely lit up....just like he did last year pitching in the AL, and specifically the AL Central. Same thing happened with Samardzija. Transport them to SF and magically they're playing on another World Series team if the Nationals/Cubs don't make it. Even numbered year, etc. QUINTANA in...no disrespect from Ned Yost card to play here. I think Sanchez was added before Q which makes absolutely no sense.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Nice outing by Q getting 4 outs. Story of his life.

Good s*** Q.
