QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) It's great. But Mercy's ult needs a serious nerf. She's practically mandatory now. True, it's too good for how easily it charges up. Increase the charge time and you're good to go.

Hire an editor. "These false attacks by Hillary Clinton... is ridiculous" is how that first sentence boils down. This whole thing is so f***ing embarrassing.

2016-2017 NBA Thread
QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) I would have preferred if Durant had gone elsewhere, but the irony of OKC fans whining about having a player of theirs "stolen" has been so awesome. Westbrook is going to leave after next year and that franchise will go into the s***ter. No marquee free agent is going to choose to go live and play in Oklahoma City. It may be petty, but who cares. As a Sonics fan who has never forgiven the league for what they did to Seattle, watching OKC fall into the flames is the next best thing to actually getting a team back. Glad you posted this angle. I was very happy for Sonics fans yesterday. Came across this on twitter (search "but that's none of my business" if you don't get it): Mina Kimes @minakimes 21h21 hours ago there is not enough tea in the planet to satiate seattle sports twitter right now Matt Ufford @mattufford .@minakimes the skyline DOES look a little different since the KD news broke

Tim Anderson
.418 BABIP. He's fast and he hits grounders, but that is still sky high. The 33:1 K/BB thing isn't gonna work forever. Also, his presence at leadoff has caused Adam Eaton to decide he should be bunting all the f***ing time, which is so very irritating. ALL THAT SAID, Anderson is incredibly exciting! I thought they rushed him up and he would flounder, but instead he immediately excelled and his defense has been outstanding. He doesn't have to hit like a stud if he continues to play a strong SS. I was wrong and it's just awesome to see the Sox call up a guy and have him do well.

White Sox winner!
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 04:19 PM) Nice start by Davidson. But I notice he was pulled for Coats who also hits right handed. Is he hurt? "Sore foot" I believe is how it it was phrased on twitter.

Matt Davidson getting called up
QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 11:40 AM) They currently have 4 available outfielders Eaton Shuck coats Garcia They can't send him down until they are sure Cabrera is healthy, even then having only 4 outfielders is tricky. i don't think they can send him down until Jackson is ready. At that time it will be who is more effective, coats or Garcia. The bigger question is who they send down when Morneau is ready. The infielders are: Abreu Lawrie Anderson Frazier Saladino Davidson With the way the bullpen is being worked due to the starters pitching short games, I'm not sure they can send a bullpen arm down. It's tough to imagine Davidson staying once Morneau is ready. If he manages to make enough of an impression that it's a tougher call, that'll be a good problem to have.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 11:27 AM) Hope the kid does well and then they can s***can Garcia. We'll see. Mark That's the ideal scenario. I want Davidson to hit so once people get healthy and somebody has to go to Charlotte, it can finally be Avi.

2016 MLB catch all thread
QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 10:29 AM) There's a chance that the return the A's got for Samardzija ends up better than the return the Cubs got for Samardzija. That's pretty crazy. Eh. I love Semien but I'd rather have Russell than the 4 guys the Sox sent over combined. Semien is having a better year right now, so yes, "there's a chance," but Russell is 22.

2016 Catch All Thread
QUOTE (SexiAlexei @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 12:16 PM) I haven't been there in a while, but from what I remember, the downstairs benches are free to the first to arrive, and you have to pay to sit at the 2nd level benches. It's first come first serve and they sell tickets in the bullpen bar. When I went, the lady in the back of the bar selling frozen drinks was the person selling the wristbands for the tables. I forget how much they cost though. I think they're $15 per seat. Obviously you'd wanna be sitting there the whole game, so arriving to a game early holding cheap upper deck seats and "exchanging" them for the BP Sports Bar seats is a good strategy.

White Sox Acquire James Shields
QUOTE (CB2.0 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 08:20 AM) Nobody says 5+ because he walked 2 people in the next inning and got the hook. SMH Pull up James Shields's stats...or any pitcher for that matter. Please point out the "+" innings column where he threw pitches and didn't record any outs. "x+ innings" is a very common baseball phrase.

Using your closer on the road in a tie game is fine. Can't take a lead if you can't get to the next inning.
