Ramon was trying to get his live mlb game workout on.

Funny s*** right there.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 08:51 PM) The Sox have had 43 quality starts this season. If they lose this game, their record in those 43 games would be 23-20. That is ridiculously bad. Well the 2013 WS are bad. I'm not sure why people are sofa king shocked by this.

s*** just got real. http://news.yahoo.com/bolivian-presidents-...-012100277.html Discuss.

I saw we go for the ultimate losing streak. DON'T STOP NOW BOYS!

/thread People are going buck wild in this motherf***er.

Thibs is single handlely keeping Gar's job. Without Thibs, where would the Bulls realistically be?

LOL.

I always find that blackmail works wonders. "Nah you're not charging me 6K, I'm paying you $800 tops!" (wink)

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 02:40 PM) By a racist media that magnifies what minorities do. Whites also commit robberies. Yes.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 02:29 PM) White people commit crime too, you know...it ain't only blacks and Mexicans. Nice cherry picking there. You knew what I meant. Of course all races commit crimes but there are races that get their crimes magnified in depth more so than others. Adam Lanza shoots up 20+ kids/adults. "Well he had mental problems, he's just one guy!" A black/mexican robs someone. "Those blacks and mexicans are ruining this great country!"

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 01:49 PM) What were the circumstances here, really? Over the previous year, there had been a few break-ins by some black males. He sees a black male walking down the sidewalk minding his own business. How is that reasonable or justified suspicion? This is where I have to very strongly disagree. Racism is much more than open KKK-style cross burnings an lynchings. It's public policy, it's subconscious prejudices and snap judgments, its treating people differently, even if subtly, and it's seen in the vastly different incarceration and sentencing rates for similar crimes, employment gaps regardless of educational level, prejudice in hiring based on 'funny' names on a resume, etc. I dunno SS, what people don't know doesn't hurt them. You can profile and hate all you want. It's just when it becomes public that it's shunned. I think racism deals more with unjustified disdain for a race. Being concerned at black youth roaming around isn't inherently racist, it's just being concerned. I give people the benefit of the doubt for the most part. Sometimes you just get that gut feeling on people saying they are bad news. Now I will say I have been around enough black people to tell the difference between a bad news one and a non threatening one. That is something white people can ill afford since usually they haven't had a whole lot of interaction with black people. Hell, white people run from me and I'm probably one of the most professional looking black folk out there. My girlfriend got mugged by black youth six months ago. She was out with her girlfriends and didn't want to be racist by crossing the street and avoiding them. Instead of going with their instincts, she got a gun pulled on her as a result. Gratefully, she just lost some stuff. Now she goes with her instincts. Is she racist for that?

Zimmerman made his mistake being too aggressive. I think his actions (being suspicious not pursuing TM) were justified considering the circumstances. I just think he lost his composure due to the criminal activities and took things into his own hands. He probably thought TM was going to just lay down. He was wrong, there was a scuffle, and the kid got shot dead. GZ could have used context clues and tact to diffuse the situation but I imagine they both went into meathead mode. 2nd degree murder is just the wrong charge. Maybe negligent homicide or manslaughter (they might be the same, I'm no lawyer). I'm a black man myself and I am even suspicious of black folks. I know what some are capable of. If white people were like that, I'd be suspcious of them to. The fact is, it isn't a case for racism as much being concerned. Racist is like the KKK who just hate to hate. Having concerns doesn't make you a racist.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 04:26 PM) Sorry, I didn't see this. I don't think it's all that difficult to see what happened. Martin is on top of Zimmerman punching at him. Eventually Martin gets enough leverage to drop Zimmerman's head against the curb and Zimmerman has enough time/space to pull out the gun and shoot him in the chest. I'm sure after one shot Martin was dead or close to dead instantly so there was no need for multiple shots. I see. I guess with all that adrenaline pumping, I thought he'd be in a bit more shock and do something more erratic. To show that much poise in that situation shows a lot about Zimmerman.

Jenks why are you ignoring my post?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 03:47 PM) Maybe he shouldn't have bashed Zimmerman's head against a curb? OK so TM is bashing his head into the curb, how does he get the shot off and one at that! If you fear for your life, aren't you emptying the clip? Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I think Zimmerman is walking. The prosecution has no case and they are looking like complete and utter fools. Now I know why people enjoy fiction so much like Law and Order.

Anywhere we can see a video of it?

People tend to overrate the wedding experience. They fall into the hype that is has to be the best day of your life. Hyberboles around.

Jordan you spend an awful amount of time defending the Heat. It's your prerogative but I think a lot of people are seeing the Heat as a very vulnerable team. I would make a gentlemen's wager that they do no repeat next year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 11:07 AM) Bad luck, but you get a high ERA because of earned runs. Really, he's bound to pitch better at some point, and so it makes sense that he'd shut down a weak offensive team in the White Sox. Hot damn, I missed his bloated ERA. Yikes. Well, you do have a point.

Too lazy to look it up but how did Morel do last night?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 10:56 AM) Yes, same crappy pitcher with a 3.85 career ERA in 984 innings. Marcum is a good pitcher. I wanted the Sox to acquire him last year and I wanted them to sign him in the offseason. If the Mets let him go, I'd advocate signing him again this offseason. Ok he might be a good pitcher but if he's 0-9 he's obviously been down his luck. He must have had a lot of similar outings to the one John Danks had last night to amass that record. (Unearned runs)
