QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 07:06 PM) Do you have a point or what? The comment: but these are teenagers and boys will be boys. Just doesn't make sense and is not true. We were all teenage boys and that s*** didn't happen so this isn't just something teenage boys do. Yes they make fun of each other, push each other around, fart in their face, etc.. But they don't do this: "on a bed with his arms held behind his back and his legs pinned down. At least four men are seen in addition to the alleged victim, whose penis is exposed, grabbed and maneuvered underneath a hand towel" I'm not saying you think it is ok what they did but to just classify it as a "boys will be boys" thing is wrong

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) You can pick a few words and strip them of context and attribute whatever point you want to a quote. That doesn't change what the broader point was. "It's pretty messed up and disgraceful from "professionals" but these are teenagers and boys will be boys." Ok, what you said before it changes what?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 08:30 AM) Puerto Rico is fantastic. I've been there twice including once for our wedding/honeymoon. The first time, we stayed here on the west side of the island. It was a little bit of a drive from San Juan, but there was plenty to do in the area(s) around there. Our wedding was at the Marriott in San Juan. I'd definitely check out Old San Juan and the old Spanish fort if you go. Our honeymoon was on Vieques at this hotel. You've got to take a little puddle jumper from San Juan to get here, but it's very secluded and minimally developed island with gorgeous, pristine beaches. One thing to keep in mind with any Caribbean or Central American travel right now though is Zika if you're thinking about having children. Good point. Not planning on it for a few years but still something to worry about. I will check out the ones you included, probably will be out of the price point we are wanting to spend right now but could be good for our actual honeymoon.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 07:12 AM) He's not saying its OK. He is saying this is viewed differently as a culture there. There is a difference. This comment: " but these are teenagers and boys will be boys" is what people disagree with, not that culture is different there.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) It's pretty messed up and disgraceful from "professionals" but these are teenagers and boys will be boys. Um no

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) Me and the wife just went to Puerto Rico last year around this time and it was pretty cheap. Really enjoyed it. What area?

I will look into both of those. Panama City Beach seems to be on the lower end of airline prices and seems to have a lot to do. Anybody been before?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 03:00 PM) I assume since it's in May that you don't want to be in the Midwest. Unfortunately May is kind of rough, it's really early in the season and a lot of bodies of water will still be months away from warming up. You're going to have to go pretty far south if you want real swimming. Yeah we want Florida area or somewhere down there by an ocean. Sorry should have specified that part lol

My fiancée and I are looking for a place to go to for a 4 night-3 day trip after we get married (probably May 11th-15th) that isn't going to be super expensive. We want to go to a beach city that has plenty to do (attractions, shopping, restaurants, nice beach), any suggestions?

The face we are 3-1 on this roadtrip is amazing. We were without Doug and Rondo the first two games then Doug and Wade tonight. We desperately need a vet big man though, Portis just isn't cutting it out there

I think they want to trade Sale, Frazier, Melky, etc to try and get players to compete in 2018/2019 with Q, Eaton, Jones, Anderson, Rodon, Fulmer, Collins, Burdi and FA signings. Not saying it can't be done but not exactly the easiest thing to do

QUOTE (Username @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 04:59 PM) So...where does Bregman play? Maybe Gurriel to First, but still. What does that have to do with Reddick? If you are insinuating that the Astros may use him as a trade piece for Sale, I agree

I just don't see us trading both Sale and Quintana this off-season. One or the other

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) Have the team sign Castro and then sign Cespedes and it will be a Merry Christmas for White Sox fans. Cool, let's get older and go .500 next year. Sounds like a win

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) I like reading this kind of articles, especially since I'm clearly Jimmy Butler's biggest fan on this site. Total fluff piece, but I am glad that we are still getting fluff pieces at this point in the season, haha. http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago-bulls/pos...s-back-together How long until we learn of an injury because of football?

The hitters in Atlanta's system just don't excite me enough.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 10:16 PM) Kinda curious to know what Frazier is adding in these deals I would guess a top 100 prospect plus a lottery ticket?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) He was silent after a week of hundreds of hate crimes occurring in his name. When was he going to proactively speak up on it? He was put on the spot and gave a tepid, dismissive response blaming the media for making a mountain out of a molehill. F*** that guy. Reporter finally putting him on the spot regarding his silence: You call that a response? LOL At least he speaks the truth, the media does do exactly what he said. You keep conveniently forgetting when he says Stop it, twice.

"needless to say, an absurd return that one would have to think would be centered around Urias/Bellinger and A LOT more. " Oh please!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 07:06 PM) If the Sox don't get a HUGE package of can't miss prospects, I'm talking four minimum prospects who CAN'T MISS, then this will be perhaps the worst trade in history. Losing Sale and Frazier guarantees we finish last in the division. It guarantees it. Our pitching staff will be decimated losing Sale's No. 1 slot. And Frazier, despite the low BA, was our power. So, OK, we are going to finish last and we'll be out of the race probably by the end of the first week of May. Like I said, you better have a CANT MISS HAUL of prospects to make all that misery (and crowds of under 20,000) acceptable. The obvious question is, "Do the Dodgers have any can't miss prospects?" Don't tell me you have to take a risk now and then. Uh ... not for Sale and Frazier. Any moron can tell Kris Bryant and Schwarber could HIT HIT HIT. Any moron could tell back in the day Frank Thomas could HIT HIT HIT. Bring in prospects like that or this team will draw so few fans the next five years it will have to sell/move. We are rebuilding, this doesn't matter.

Insert **It's Happening" meme here

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) Nightengale says no serious talks with any team. Looking like the trade deadline all over again. It is November

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) "I think it's all overblown/exaggerated" or something to that effect. That's a reassuring response. He looked in the camera and said "stop it" and some words before it. Go watch

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 10:02 AM) Yes, but it does send a message that he's not fully committed to the job IMO. He's still wanting to be near his businesses. Or maybe he likes to be in his home? I have seen articles posted else where how he is weird about sleeping in his own bed.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) Interesting that he's already publicly criticized peaceful protests and critiques from the press but has yet to condemn the rash of hate crimes in his name. LOL like others have said, he did this in his interview
