Turning into a pretty interesting season. Everyone is flipping and flopping.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) Who runs this team? I do.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 07:08 PM) Dana is probably freaking out Think so? I feel like this hurts Vince more than Dana. I guess Brock might have fought again but everything Brock was going to help with is pretty much done with now and they made their money off him already.

Whoops Brock.

Looks like Carson is going straight to the pen, no spot start for Carlos.

Cool. Kick some ass, Carson.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) Bernstein was actually doing really well, and then brought up Lobranos divorce and then everything spiraled out of control. I sympathize with nobody in that interview, Lobrano was victim shaming the entire time, calling them liars without coming out and saying it. He kept repeating that the victims were all using uncorroborated and unsubstantiated accounts. f*** that guy Sounds about right on everything.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 04:09 PM) Nothing pleases me more to see Waddle and Silvy kicking the s*** out of B&B the last year or so in the ratings. People have finally had enough.. Agreed. Never met Waddle but Silvy has been as cool as can be the couple times I've met him and Tom at least doesn't act like an ass on the station. Happy to seee Bernstein get his ass kicked by some good dudes.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) He also reported that the Sox and Cespedes finalized a contract in December He did. He's missed on some things for sure but he's also been the first on some things and has absolutely proven to have credibility. Just cause you're credible and have sources doesn't mean you're going to hit on 100 percent of things.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) I think Balta's point merely is that Morneau might not be ready to come up. I tend to agree. I think, and arguably based on his performance, he should receive a few more at-bats in the minor leagues before being called up. None of us have seen him play. If he's healthy, then no matter what 17 at bats say, he's better than anything we can throw out there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 01:41 PM) You do realize that tomorrow's game counts towards the team's standings at the end of the season, don't you? You're actually looking at his rehab stats in 17 at bats?

Ya I'm just not sure why Avi is around anymore but oh well.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) Why would the other guy do the jump off his shoulder move other than to just set him up for that? Iono I dont really understand wrestling. He was trying to hit his finisher but Orton countered into his. I mean, cmon shipps, this is obvious stuff.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) You guys obviously don't understand the utter devastation that the RKO has brought to this world. RIP Lawries girl Someone needs to teach her how to take a bump. Awful.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Big differences can definitely exist between school districts. My wife's district isn't exactly poorly funded, but they have little or no tech classes e.g. no basic typing or computer skills. Woah, that's pretty crazy to me. As bmags said, I was taking typing when I was in Middle School too.

Soxtalk is a no fun zone for sure. And Caulfield, nobody should ever leave their house, just sit on the couch until you play baseball. And even then getting to the stadium is pretty risky. Maybe just pitch and stay in the stadium until your next start, don't want anyone getting hurt.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 09:40 AM) I get that people don't want sox to be burned by trading away thompson/montas/m.johnson, but the constant effort to trash anyone as terrible as soon as they leave. The constant refrain of how Semein will never make it (newsflash, his defense has improved and he is a good hitter) and oh, how terrible Trayce is. Trayce is better than Austin Jackson. If you would have asked what TT was last year, everyone pretty much would have been happy if he was a .740 OPS CF with dope defense. But on the Dodgers he's awful, terrible. I hope Trayce is great. He deserves time to develop. He may end up as someone who just had three hot ML months, or those three hot ML months show that he can play at this level. Give him time. This definitely goes both ways on this site. There are people who are always going to jump to trash someone we traded away and there are always going to be plenty of people who are automatically going to love the players we traded away.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) Hm. I've never thought Bryan was bad on the mic He was rough when he first came to the E but improved dramatically as he went on. No one is ever going to confuse him with one of the greats but he became pretty darn solid in his last 2-3 years there. He's also fantastic in comedy sketches so I think he'd be a pretty entertaining gm.

Everyone get pumped, more McMahon segments!!!!!

Ya, I'm far from Hawk's biggest fan but he's about 8432948732402934 times better than Berman. Dude is awful at his job and just at life in general.

This makes me happy.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 12:22 AM) Well I did the DraftKings UFC thing tonight and got 4 of 5. Only lost Frankie Edgar. Funny the 1st place prize was $800 but bc so many picked the same fights, the winners only got $23. Regretting the $60 purchase. I actually turned on an episode of Modern Family after the Lesnar fight and didn't watch the main event. Back to watching it at bars, illegal streams or off of periscope. Do you like mma or do you just hate watch it?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) So we're still waiting for word on replacements for both Davis and Kimbrel... one of them has to be Quintana, no? Jose Quintana does not actually exist outside of Soxtalk. So nope, Q will never be on the allstar team.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) Summer league is actually awesomely entertaining. Theres always some fat balding dude who is a part time mailman and awkward gigantic 7ft dudes who clearly have no coordination or basketball skill. I love it. I love summer league. A buddy and I are actually thinking about going next year. Fun excuse to go to Vegas too.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 12:25 PM) They put fulmer on the list stating that most now think he will be a bullpen guy. Reed always made these lists too when he was in our system. I certainly wouldn't guarantee it but there's a chance Burdi will be there. Not really sure why this list is depressing as everyone knew we'd have one guy on it once TA graduated to the Majors.
