QUOTE (raBBit @ May 19, 2015 -> 10:09 PM) Some of my favorite memories of pitching. STOP f***ING GOING TO GAMES!

Rally cap time!

That was a nice pitch. Started inside and got the plate.

Who is icroca? A troll?

2nd time through, they'll hammer Bauer. Take it to the bank!

QUOTE (bmags @ May 19, 2015 -> 04:37 PM) Same, I'm 1-3 but the one win was the sunday after the game was suspended. I'm going Thursday. Same here man. Where are you sitting at?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 19, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) Yes. I was going to say he'll need to have a career to make enough money to support the family. Must be a hard decision. If he's close to making the bigs, he could make a lot of money in a short period of time. If he's not going to make it, better to get going on a real job. But Party City won't cut it $$ wise. Baseball teams should cut out the "clubhouse fees." Embarrassing a billion dollar industry makes the minor leaguers pay for peanut butter sandwiches. The NBA is quite different, NFL too. No minor league. Just join the big leagues out of "college" and rake in the money. My god that salary is brutal. Am I reading that right that that is what he gets weekly?

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 19, 2015 -> 01:19 PM) Too early for this thread but Aramis Ramirez makes a bunch of sense for the Sox, Brewers and Ramirez himself. Imagine the possibilities... "Ground ball to the left side, gets past the diving Ramirez, Ramirez backends tosses it over to first and makes the nice back handed play." or "Ramirez lines one into right, Ramirez looking to take third and he will. A two out single by Ramirez keeps it going." mmmmm my ding ding dong

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 19, 2015 -> 10:37 AM) Opening Day - Noesi starts, horrible game. Rodon's debut - Noesi starts, Rodon disapoints, Sox lose handedly. Thursday night against KC - Great game, Sale was Sale, the fight, Sox choke. Thursday day game against Detroit - Quintana was inefficient but effecive, Lobstein'd I have been to four series. Each series that Sox won 2 of 3 and I went to the game they lost. Sox have been scored 19-5 while I am there. I suck. That was still an awesome game even though they lost.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 19, 2015 -> 10:18 AM) No it's not. Sacrifice bunting there is stupid and gives you less of a chance to win. I would have criticized Robin for bunting. I loved his answer in post game. He said they had 3 tries to get a single. I will never understand the infatuation with giving away outs. If you get a guy on 3rd with 1 out, that is less pressure on the next guy to get a hit and to just find something he can lift into the air. It changes the entire dynamic of the AB. I hate Soto's swing and Alexei is one lazy mother f***er.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 19, 2015 -> 03:02 AM) I just for the life of me cannot see why a great country like ours would put Hillary Clinton in charge. I mean are you serious?? David Letterman is retiring. Isn't Hillary older than Dave? Why would a country with I-phones, amazing technology want somebody that old to be president? I just don't get it. I saw Bill Clinton on Letterman the other day and he seemed OLD. I mean, is Hillary prepared to lead us in a world with all these international tensions (beheadings, nuke threats, threats on our own soil, etc?) Why in the hell is Hillary Clinton a good choice to be president is all I want to know??? I've said it before and will say it until somebody explains it to me ... why is Hillary being awarded the oval office as some bizarre lifetime achievement award? Give her a participation trophy and let somebody with young ideas run the country. I just don't get what people see in Hillary, who by all accounts is one, mean elderly woman. How much proof of this do we need??? Disclaimer: forgive me for the age bias thing. Perhaps I didn't word it with compassion but do we really want an elderly woman to be our president for 8 years??? Are you all going to be jumping for joy the day she wins the election?? If so, please tell Greg WHY??? Enlighten me. Did you really just refer to yourself in the third person? I don't know why you think Hilary is a shoe in. Wait for the candidates to emerge, see a few debates/caucuses and then see where the wind blows. 2016 election is a long way off right meow.

FWIW didn't you see two Noesi starts?

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 19, 2015 -> 09:21 AM) Sox are 11-5 at home. I am 0-4 this year at USCF. I am going Wednesday and Saturday. Just stay the hell away lmao!

Alexei has to execute better than that. Not necessarily sac bunt but getting the runner over is something he has done before.

THE MAN ON DECK DID IT!

DIRTY SANCHEZ!

Kluber is pounding the zone. You really can't work a count against a guy who had command of all of his pitches and can throw them for strikes.

Eaton has huge hairy nuts! MERCY

The SOX beat the teams they should. Right now Milwaukee and Oakland are struggling. 4-2 was expected if the SOX consider themselves a good ball club.

These guys played like complete and utter crap on an elimination game and let a battered Cavs team smoke them at home. I thought something might be up but I don't know if this is it.

Thank you Dodgers and Cardinals!

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 17, 2015 -> 08:13 PM) No, I want all the gamethreads. I think everyone is OK with that too

How do they allow the mics to pick up players dropping f-bombs on national television?
