This video of Prince shredding over While My Guitar Gently Weeps never gets old, ever.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 6, 2016 -> 01:03 PM) Soxtalk is a very liberal forum. There are a lot of people who probably agree with me, that the sight of a guy in drag as you say wouldn't be somewhat concerting/alarming/distasteful. A lot of guys aren't into that. http://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/11...target-bathroom I can't believe in the 2016, in the age of protective parents, agreeing to let guys with male body parts in the same restroom with females. But I'm bad for saying that. That article doesn't support your point - it's arguing that the people making these new rules and enforcing them are the true weirdos.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 6, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) He was a compete train wreck during his stretch here in 2014, and took months to recover from it in the minors. His 2015 numbers look nice with that 3.34 era, but the dude had a 5.93 fip. And his WHIP was 1.4 for that, that's just not good enough. Burns through way too many pitches because his command just isn't there.

It wasn't really "just one start," Johnson was a semi-known quantity already, but he didn't show us anything to give reason to believe he would be more than an emergency fifth starter. There's a couple of other things the Sox should try first before settling on Johnson.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 6, 2016 -> 11:25 AM) Fangio took Shea McLellin and moved him to ILB, and made him look good enough that he is still in the NFL. Which I did NOT see. That is the position he should've been drafted to play in from Day 1. Putting him at DE was incomprehensibly stupid. Brian Urlacher would have been trash if you put him at DE, too.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2016 -> 09:55 AM) I dont really think they have jerked him around too much. The guy has been up multiple times, and has had stinkers like this pretty much every time. You can see it in his body language when things start going wrong too, he starts to nibble and is forced to bring his bp fastball to the zone when the count is in the batters favor. I know he has bounced up and down a few times, and apparently felt that he should have stayed with the big league club out of spring training, but I think he really has gotten opportunities to show he can take this job and has peed down his leg every time. The only time i can recall a solid start from the guy was (i believe) a september start where there was zero pressure on him to perform You could see the look of disappointment on his face when Ventura came out to get him last night in the 5th, like "well, I guess that's that."

This game has been over 3 hours and there's still 2 innings left. Red Sox games are the worst

Greg would hate Vegas and New Orleans, lol A dude in high heels wouldn't even turn head on bourbon street

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 3, 2016 -> 11:13 PM) Pretty damn funny that the Blues gave that viral fan Tony tickets on the glass. I've been looking at his Twitter and while all that was fun, he is pretty over the attention now, lol. He pretty much just wants to watch hockey and live

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 5, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) To be fair, there are bills out there to allow PR to essentially declare bankruptcy, being led by the US Tres Dept. While they can't now, it is definitely something that is on the table. I think that's about the only way to help them dig themselves out of this mess. It would suck but right now they are just continuing to suffer needlessly.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 5, 2016 -> 01:11 PM) His insensitive comments are usually reserved for women only. And that. He spends a lot of time taking the side of women usually, but then he will say some dumb s*** he had no business saying.

I couldn't ever see Dan Bernstein making a mean-spirited Freddie Gray joke like that though. When he gets called out for being insensitive and/or racist it's usually because he was being patronizing or belittling someone when he shouldn't be.

The building I work in has had multiple Cinco de Mayo potlucks, and also at the same time, there is no more toilet paper in any of the restrooms.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 5, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) Some of that's playing on stereotypes/bigotry of transexuals as sexual deviants, just like the beliefs that gay men are all pedophiles. Right, their gender identity is only about sex (I mean sex sex not gender sex) to the extent that everyone else's is.

What I've learned from this whole public debate is that a much larger percentage of people than I originally thought assume that other people think of public restrooms as some kind of erotic playground where they have to check sexual urges. I dunno, man. I go in there to s***.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 5, 2016 -> 11:33 AM) If it says male on your license you go to the mens locker room, if it says female thats where you go. If you do the opposite you get in trouble. Pretty much whats going to happen. Of course this depends on true trans people being allowed to put the sex they identify with on their license. I'm okay with this, but I don't see the need to enforce this. They've been here the whole time and the vast majority of the time people don't even notice.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 5, 2016 -> 10:57 AM) The politiking of Puerto Rico as some sort of "other" is really making me sad. US should really sell or grant independence to their non-state properties and just buy land for military bases on them. US Samoa, Marshall, Guam, etc. Not fair these places can get so railroaded by crises because out of sight out of mind, and then when they do need help, there is incentive for a party to punish them for their home voters. Trump was talking about this and he kept talking about his business record (irrelevant obviously) and he says well, they have no choice but to declare bankruptcy. Yeah but that's the issue, they CAN'T declare bankruptcy, and he doesn't understand that, like he doesn't understand most things. He's actually leading the party who is blocking the effort to allow them to do so, on behalf of (surprise!) people who are in position to profit off Puerto Rico's debt.

This whole "transgendered women are going to sexually assault girls in the restroom" is simply not a thing. To the extent this even happens at all, it doesn't happen often enough to deserve any kind of discussion. "Men will pretend to be transgendered women" also sounds like a made-up fear that people came up with only recently, and it's a poor interpretation of what transgendered people are asking of everyone else (which is simply no more than "stop threatening and harassing me when I'm trying to take a piss").

Come on Erik

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 4, 2016 -> 11:28 PM) You're describing the vast majority of Major League hitters, there's a reason why pitchers rely on the breaking ball low and away, it's an incredibly effective pitch. But you have fun proving everyone wrong. i was going to post this nearly verbatim. It's like the whole point of a slider.

Quality start from Rodon, he can build on this

Rodon is gonna need to smooth these innings out, he'll figure it out as he's young yet, but he pulled a horseshoe out of his ass on that one.

People have been pissing and s***ting in public restrooms (with or without transgendered people doing the same) their entire lives without needing help and suddenly in 2016 some people decided everyone needed a set of rules on how to do it.
