8/25 at Beckett's Chicken and Waffles

There can't be many right-handed hitters in history who have been better than Pedroia at roping singles to right field.

College is such a con. Go up to your eyeballs in debt that will take years to pay back so you can get a piece of paper that will get you a job flipping burgers at Burger King - if you can beat out the other candidates in the same boat.

I wish Pedey would go back to swinging like that when we are behind as well as when we are ahead. When behind Pedey has been pressing a bit too much.

[VA Sox Fan]

Oh, no! There's nothing worse than college kids receiving a free education. Truly the mark of a pathetic country.

 

Don't want to get banned for a political disagreement so won't go there any further.

[VA Sox Fan]

My apologies, ma'am.

 

No need to apologize Mr. MOJO!

[Northern Star]

I was watching some game (Pirates I think) and the announcer said the most beautiful thing in baseball is a LH bat going the other way just shy of dead center. Dude, there are plenty of nicer sights than that, starting with going fully the opposite way (and from either side of the plate).

Political discussions, for me, depend on who I'm talking to. There are some people I will go off on and get into a shouting match with and others who'll voice similar viewpoints and we'll have a long, respectful debate with nobody's blood pressure rising above normal levels.

Get a room, you two.

[Brennan]

Thank God the Dodgers haven't been able to capitalize on those shoulder high, one foot off the plate strike calls they have been getting.

No it's not. Be real for a second.

 

The loans are high. As long as you aren't a Psych major, it's worthwhile. It opens up doors to careers you can't have with just a highschool diploma.

[Station 13]

Someone make Napoli stop swinging at those letter high fastball.

Nothing for me beats a power hitter getting around on one and pulling it 450 feet into the stands.

She'd go to jail for statutory and Taylor would kill me.

Just too bad it's really friggin expensive.

[mvp 78]

I'm probably just gonna go for community college. All I want in life is a cool job, decent house, and money to spend on guns, video games, and a Russian mail order bride.

 

Community College is really a great investment. That or a good "cheap" in-state public college.

Ahhhhhh....just the non-warranted negativity this thread needed!!! Things slow over at SuxHeads?

[mvp 78]

Yeah, but as long as you plan it out and don't pretend you're filming Animal House, it's worth it in the end.

Glad to see it isn't a terrible idea. I also hate large cities, save for Boston, and the community colleges out here are really out in the middle of nowhere. Like surrounded by farm land.

If you lived in PA BTR, Penn State would be a perfect fit.

[Brennan]

Really VA? Did I say something bad? I was saying that the ump has been a little generous to the Dodgers a few times.

[BornToRun]

Yeah, but as long as you plan it out and don't pretend you're filming Animal House, it's worth it in the end.

 

Where's the fun in that!?

[Brennan]

And I don't post on Suxheads.

[Thunder]

So... How 'bout this game?

At my "advanced" age, I have seen the economy from all sides at least the contemporary economy....Was born not long after WWII and lived through what was really a post WW economy when we were the only major industrial power not laid to waste (we lived off that for a looooong time). But this "service" economy suck balls! I have a lotta' sympathy for kids coming out of college into this mess. Don't like the decisions corporate America has made for a long time now. Worst thing...the people I blame are in my generation and the one immediately before mine. The bunch just before me (fifteen-twenty years younger than my dad and fifteen-twenty years older than me) turned out to be a bunch of silver spoon stuck in mouth *******s and my generation thought we had to feel guilty about all of the worlds injustices...so much so that we did not IMO take care of business.

I've given thought to moving to PA once the time comes.

Exactly. And not my thing to go to jail and have Taylor Swift kill me. Not the way I imagined the rest of my life!!!

[Bellhorn04]

f***ing right Peavy. He is showing up big tonight.

[BornToRun]

My sentiments exactly.

[VA Sox Fan]

Have I ever mentioned that I have little Crush on Jake Peavy? Chaw and all?????

I've given thought to moving to CA when the time comes.
