QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 09:59 AM) NPR had a story yesterday on the shooter's father. He seems a bit nutty and is obsessed with the Afghan/Pakistan border (long-running border dispute, apparently). His political concerns seem to be entirely centered around that border dispute and not religiously motivated, and he believes himself to be the head of some sort of provisional Afghan government. Nope. "God will punish those involved in homosexuality. [it's] not an issue that humans should deal with." ~Seddique Mateen Link

Wuh? Everybody but Eaton hit K-Rod and/or got on base that inning. Avi struck out in the 11th to Sanchez in 4 pitches. "The Patience" He sucks.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 09:04 AM) I totally agree. I'm thinking Cincinatti wants to see him in the field. Why in the hell would Cincinnati be interested in Avi? Every OFer they have is better than him.

Oh, please "balled that one out". His ERA shot up 2.5 pts in 3 starts and 9 whole IP. He should be sent to the Twins with $20M immediately for a pack or two of those witch hazel ass wipes for the clubhouse. Those things are great.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:45 AM) There is no way he is this bad. It was painful to watch but at least he got through the fifth with a couple of innings of no damage. The first couple of innings, oh my, and it was close to being even worse. Innings. Eater!.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 07:30 AM) Seems more like a case of personal "demons" than any type of "terrorist ideology" at play here... If ISIS really wanted victory over the US, they would target someone/something closely associated with Donald Trump, like one of his buildings/casinos or the Miss Universe/Miss USA pageant. That would actually generate some (I'm not going to call it a "well of") sympathy for him, giving him a much better chance at being elected...which is exactly what someone looking to destablize the US government and provoke it into an all-out war (including ground troops) would do strategically. Wow. Stupidest thing ever posted on the Internet. Is there an ignore user setting on this site? I searched the Help section and don't see it. *Disregard - All set.

Even though our turd catchers have been producing this last week, I'd probably kill a man (Shields) to see Lucroy in a Sox uniform.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 01:04 AM) As someone who actually sat though Shields' first start and was rewarded with nothing, I'm glad those of us who stuck with it tonight got to see a victory. Would have been painful to come so close and not end up with the win. Shields is so s***ty.

So what is all this? Caulfield thinks the Sox won cause Robin got ejected? lol.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:10 AM) User Actions Follow Pedro MartinezVerified account ‏@45PedroMartinez I hope Shields realizes he's flying open and his head is too far away from his release point. He needs to work on his mechanics. 34 year olds with $21M/yr contracts don't work on mechanics. I hope he works on packing his bags. Guy is a bum.

How many BP pitchers now?

Fake bunt. Ok. Can't even REAL HIT.

Take that all day.

Just saying...If Robin had called the TA steal.... This would be over.

I think we can say 2b fine. Avi - nothing but disapointment

Shuck out with 1 pitch..of course.

Also, that crazy bully Robin Ventura was ejected.

Nice job by Fat Albers. Now go win this...Detroit bullpen sucks.

Tim looked pretty ok there...

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) In any other context, someone standing less than a foot away from your face and screaming would be classified as bullying, or whatever synonym you want to use. It looks normal to you because baseball managers have always done it, but for someone like me who just came into baseball in the last 3 years, it looks absurd. It seems this isn't the sport for you. All managers get into these things with umps and get ejected, but Robin can barely be bothered to stay awake let alone "bully" anybody. LOL. It was really funny to hear Robin be called a bully. In his professional career - he's actually famous for getting his ass kicked by a "bully" pitcher when he started it.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:54 PM) Hate this "tradition" of managers getting right up in umpire's faces screaming their heads off. Probably looks normal to you guys who grew up with it but looks ridiculous to me. You can make the point without borderline bullying. ?????

That WAS ridiculous. Best hitter in baseball was standing there on a pitch clearly in the zone. Get f***ed. Justice served anyway.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:47 PM) Check the Shields thread I called this one dead on and was crucified by the loyalists on this forum. Check the thread? Preaching to the choir.

Here comes BP pitcher #3 thanks to "innings eater" Shields.

Damn. Would've been tied if the steal had been called/worked.
