Isn't Freese a free agent? I really hope we don't sign him.. He is worse then Gillaspie and doesn't hit left handed. No point

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 30, 2013 -> 02:32 AM) I spent 2 years in a dorm as well (1 year at each college), and I had some pretty awful luck with roommmates. My first roommate my freshman year was on the soccer team and eventually got kicked out of school for pot, which he kept in the room. Luckily I didn't get anything for that. I was solo for about a week before I let the kid down the hall move in with me. He was a quiet kid whom I knew wouldn't keep me up or bring any chicks back or be drunk. That worked out fine, but it was boring. Then I moved colleges and my roommate my sophomore year was a senior who I'm not sure was not a robot. Very weird kid who when I brought a friend over to watch a Sox game actually said when he came back in to the room and saw the both of us "Oh, I didn't know we were expecting to have visitors this evening". He was the closest person this world may ever have to Sheldon Cooper. We had 2 TVs in the room NEXT to each other. He had headphones with a long extension to reach his bed so he could watch Everybody Loves Raymond for hours on end while I watched sports and Comedy Central. I could go on for a while with all his quirks, but I need to get to bed. After maybe 3 weeks of dealing with that weirdo I moved next door with a guy named Neal who was easily the most fun roommate I had in the dorms, even though he was very messy, shed a ton, smoked pot and came back to the room drunk and sloppy all the time. I mean, I came back to the room drunk too, but this kid would come back with piss down his jeans and knock s*** over in the room and then leave all the lights on. He was a real real sloppy drunk. I then got asked by a couple girls from HS to live in an apartment with them, and I did, and it was by far the best living situation I've had. A real Threes Company scenario living with 2 beautiful girls. One of them I am really good friends with. The other one I am friends with, but we got on each other's nerves a lot because she is very bossy and controlling and "this has to be my way!" and I loved to go against. And now, since my girls have graduated in May, I am spending my last semester alone in a new apartment way off campus and I hate it. So boring not living with anyone, so boring not knowing any of the neighbors because they are all foreign or have kids, and so boring because I live a couple miles away from the bar scene and all my friends houses. Doesn't seem like a big deal for those who went to gigantic campuses like IU, but after living in an apartment IN the bar strip for 2 years, it's really hard not being able to walk down my stairs to the bars. My roommate freshman year sold pot and he would roll it up right in front of after I told him I don't smoke or like being around it. It was pretty s***ty. And one weekend I went and visited my girlfriend (she went to a different college) and I came back and he was gone, moved out. He left his old shoes in shoe boxes though (what a nice guy). We shared a fridge and I had a few things in there and he just took them or threw them away, not really sure. He never told me he was leaving, not a text or note or anything and has never said anything to me since (2 years ago). And I wasn't a bad roommate or anything. Never made noise, didn't really talk, would use headphones when I watched stuff on the computer. He was terrible, the pot thing and he got an Xbox and we shared MY TV and for whatever reason he would get up at like 7 in the morning and turn on the xbox and play Call of Duty. Didn't turn off the volume or anything when I was trying to sleep. He would play online and talk to people on his stupid headset while I was trying to sleep. One night I took my remote and put it in my bed and when he started playing it in the morning I turned around and muted it. He was like what the hell and I was like I am trying to f***ing sleep and you are using my TV and have the volume up, why don't you be more considerate That was the week before he moved out. I guess I pissed him off enough to leave. He moved in with his pot buddy and I had a dorm room to myself for the rest of the year and It was so much better.

Lived on campus in a dorm for 2 years and I hated it. Couldn't stand all the immature people and also sharing a room with someone that I didn't really know. And was total opposite of how I was so we had nothing to talk about. I now live off campus in an apartment with my girlfriend and I like it a lot more.

Ok can someone explain to me last night's episode of The Blacklist??

I saw a picture on another board that showed Joyce was looking the other way when Craig first made contact with Middlebrooks. So I don't even think Joyce saw Middlebrooks legs up.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 11:40 PM) I think his feet were in front of third base, which is how Craig tripped. I think Craig tripped more towards Middlebrook's butt. Also when Craig starts running he is looking behind him. No matter what Middlebrooks does Craig stumbles over him

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 11:33 PM) The obstruction call in baseball is fairly stupid. If the fielder gets into a bad position from trying to catch a throw (like in the case of Middlebrooks) and he just happens to be in the basepath, it's obstruction. I know it's hard to judge intent, but I really feel obstruction should be a judgment call based on the fielder's intent. I remember a play at second where on an errant throw into CF, the SS would stay on top of the diving runner to prevent him from going to third base. How the hell is that not obstruction? Was Middlebrooks in the basepath??

Like I said Boston needs to stop throwing to 3rd baseball. Cost them 2 games in this series

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 11:17 PM) I think Farrell didn't have a lot of relievers left in the bullpen, so he wanted to stick with Workman as long as possible. He ended up taking him out a batter later. It was dumb. Dempster was still out there who can give you 5+ innings if possible.. That really shows how AL and NL are so different and it takes different managing

QUOTE (zenryan @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 11:11 PM) I like how the closer will get the loss now. wait, Workman gets credited for the loss? Yes, he is the one that let the first runner on. Ferrell clearly lost this game for Boston. He didn't pinch hit for him in the 9th when he had Napoli on the bench and then kept him in for the 9th. And not walking Jay.

QUOTE (MAX @ Oct 26, 2013 -> 11:09 PM) It was two feet off the line is what gets me. It could have been easily avoided. But when you make a call like that, you do it in a moment. That is what I don't get. It was two feet inside the line. Isn't that the fielders territory if a runner is running home?? I feel like Craig ran into him. But that is just me and I live in St. Louis and don't like the Cardinals so I could have tunnel vision. I still don't think you call that to end a damn World Series game

And I don't understand why Ferrell didn't pinch hit for Workman in the 9th inning?? He ended up taking him out anyways and it cost them the game.

Maybe the Red Sox should stop throwing to third base in this series. What a bunch of idiots

I can't believe I forgot about Marte and Vizcaino. I knew there was another lefty in the pen and I just couldn't get the name. I was in 7th grade when we won so give me a break lol

I would rather not trade Quintana unless we are getting a proven player with a good track record at 3rd, Catcher, CF, or LF and a good hitting prospect

I still think Conor could be pretty good. I just think he needs more time.

This is a 20 team league with 25 milb rounds so there will be 500 guys picked. I know there are a few pitchers in the Sox organization curious who exactly those are. We are in the 13th round and players taken have been: Marcus Semien Micah Johnson Erik Johnson Tim Anderson Courtney Hawkins Keon Barnum

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 11:07 PM) Jake Peavy says hi too. Yeah I know. I said it because they were showing Thornton and his kid for like 10 seconds

Well at least Thornton is kind of a part of the team?

Who are some sleeper prospects both for the Sox and other teams to look for this coming year?? I am in a Dynasty league and we are in the middle of the 25 round MILB draft and I am running out of people with 13 rounds left!

I can't wait to see JOSE ABREU hit this year. This thread is no longer about him lol

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:44 PM) or even where does Abreu hit? 3? 4? 5? As we sit now you have to think our 3-4-5 is some variation of Abreu, Dunn and Garcia. You would think it would be left-right-left. So probably Abreu, Garcia, Dunn if Abreu shows he can hit. I would start him at the highest 5th in the line up to begin with

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:14 PM) Rick Hahn is on fire. He has my full support in any move going forward. Love an offense anchored by Abreu and Garcia going forward! I think we are only one or two more hitters away from being a playoff contender! And maybe a couple pitchers

He better pass that damn physical!!! :headbang
