QUOTE (AJUribe @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 11:45 PM) I've heard whispers he may be available by the trade deadline. From my sources losing the first two starts have tempered interests in a few possibly contending team. Teams that were interested do want to acquire the southpaw from southern hemisphere and are now quietly rooting for the young man to have an inflated era in the hopes they can somehow get a better deal. Basically Q is going to be awful for us because it is simply impossible for him to care when he knows he's getting traded and it completely effects his entire psyche. Hahn's a ballbreaker and l think he'd rather sit on Q before taking a penny less than his preseason asking price. Okay...

Benetti is very mediocre.

QUOTE (Yoda @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) You never hear about a 4th date because after the 3rd you don't refer to your meetups anymore as "dates." The 3rd date usually ends up like this: A. Go out for dinner one more time and then invite her over to your place. OR B. You're not going anywhere after dinner and will remain in the friend zone thus not wanting to pursue anything more w/ that person as far as social meet-ups. If A. goes well Netflix and Chill will be a daily occurrence and they'll end up looking forward to seeing each other on a daily basis. If A. doesn't go very well, then that's it. The attempt was made and hey at least he won't be asking "what if." This seems like pretty solid life advice. Thanks.

QUOTE (Yoda @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:17 AM) I think we can all agree we're interested in seeing the outcome of Date #3. There's currently 11 Guests just reading this topic... What would you say the odds are on them hooking up?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 11:52 PM) I disagree. Or at the least, I think that's changing and has changed. I am not sure how old you are but I know you're older than me. But as a millennial, I think it has changed because of social media and yoga pants among other things. The whole instagram thing and women's clothing style changes is all catered towards girls' butts. I remember when I was a freshman in high school (I am pretty young) and girls started wearing yoga pants to school and it was mind-blowing for the guys. Once a few girls started wearing them everyone did. Guys would gossip about girls when they were wearing yoga pants. I remember a friend coming up to me and saying, "Did you see Victoria?" and I said no and he said, "She's wearing those tight black elastic-y pants today. You should see her butt." We didn't even know they were called yoga pants. Just like the girls with great boobs tend to show cleavage, the girls with the great butts were more likely to wear yoga pants. Yoga pants changed everything for white people. By the time I was senior, not only were guys (all guys, black guys, white guys, etc.) obsessed with butts, but girls who started working out to better their bodies were showing their butts in progress pictures just as often as they would show stomach. I am sure this is weird for the older guys to hear but when I was first on Myspace, Xanga, Facebook (7th-9th grade) girls would edit their picture to make their boobs bigger. When I got older, the girls would edit the pictures to bring in their sides and extenuate their butts. There are plenty of girls who brag about doing squats. If I were to generalize white dudes I'd say they were definitely late to the butt craze but they're probably split at this point. Of course it's not as likely for a white dude to be into ass as a black guy, but to your point, white dudes, in general, lean toward skinnier figures where black dudes gravitate towards thicker girls. Nobody would argue you on that. In the black community, asses are essential to the "dream girl." In the white community, it's always about blonde girls. Who cares about hair color. I just don't get the guys who have a "type." Whether it's looks or personality, there are so many guys that just keep ending up with a girl who is just like the girl before them. With me it has always been, I am attracted to a girl to some varying extent, I end up talking to her and if we have chemistry, I start to notice all the good things about her. I've never seen such an extensive analysis on this subject. Lol.

Am I the only one that constantly confuses flavum and fathom? Lol.

Honestly I don't think I've ever been less excited to see the Sox winning a game.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 11:05 AM) Quintana starting Sunday. The Sox have made a lot of mistakes this week. He started on Tuesday... You're just complaining for the sake of complaining now.

BIG GAME JAMES BABY!!!

What the hell is wrong with Petricka now?

I don't think I'd eat this even if I was on a desert island starving to death.

I'm assuming Covey is as good as gone then.

Yesterday was actually really nice, especially when the sun was out. It's a shame the rest of the week has been so bad weather wise.

Being there today was so, so, so frustrating.

Well, this should be interesting. My worst nightmare would be to get all the way down there just to have them move it to tomorrow.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 12:57 AM) I was told there'll be a call by 6 AM. So I'm assuming they're still planning on playing today then?

Kevan Smith.

I'll be so bummed out if it rains.

I'm going with 67-95 and the 3rd overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft. I hope they're worse than that.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 01:47 PM) I think we need to settle this debate by having both of their wives mud-wrestling.... seriously though, Kim DeJesus is a babe. Jello wrestling is better.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 28, 2017 -> 06:07 AM) ? They needed a right handed hitting OF. Now thry have one. All it cost is cash. Why didn't they sign him before Spring Training started then? I wouldn't pay anything for Bourjos, even if it is just money. He's mediocre at best and I don't know how the Rays don't have a minor leaguer they could've given an opportunity to instead of him.

Not sure if it really makes a difference for a fringe prospect like May, but why not keep him in the minors for a couple weeks to get the extra year of control just in case he becomes something in the big leagues?

I'll never, ever, ever understand the Rays.

Why exactly is the majority of this thread about politics instead of Giolito? I purposely avoid the filibuster section because I come here to talk Sox...not to have to go through tons of political posts and see people bickering at each other.
