Apologies to RobF if this causes some anger/fights, but I thought it was a pretty funny very obvious news dump by the Red Sox organization.

Today would be a wonderful day for "random School X" to also self-report some NCAA violations.
And by "random School X", there certainly are the usual suspects. :-)
November 6th, 2020 at 11:25 AM ^
I laughed.
November 6th, 2020 at 9:54 AM ^
Umm, what? Why is this a post?
November 6th, 2020 at 11:46 AM ^
Why do you say Coral instead of Carl?
November 6th, 2020 at 11:57 AM ^
How is he best friends with Christian Wolff' s brother, but never learned how to waste people from over a mile away with match-grade ammo?!

Hopefully no jackass turns this into a political thread!

I thought it was about Biden taking the lead in PA.

Ok, that's all the opening I needed. There has been some chatter on talk radio about trying to invade Philadelphia or rush city hall blah blah, this dude (apparently a lawyer) in Philly posted an amazing response. Whatever side of the political aisle you find yourself on, if you know Philly AT ALL, this is the best description of the city I've ever heard:
DON’T MESS WITH PHILLY
Some conservative commentators and radio personalities are calling for Trump supporters to “surround the city” of Philadelphia and apply a little “pressure.” I get you are upset, but Philly? Nah, bro. You don’t want none of that smoke. You’ve clearly never been to Philly. You are better off planning anything else, because if you can’t even bring that energy to a peaceful election to get your candidate chosen, just don’t. I mean listen guys, seriously…
Your leader already said it best, BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN PHILLY. This city has the most “F*&% around and find out” energy in America. Our hero is a fictional character best known for getting punched in the face until he was almost dead and beating the crap out of whoever, especially Russians.
We harass and boo babies and small children attending their first ever sporting event with their family. Our old stadium had to have its own jail in it, and the new one has an anger management room to smash things with a bat.
We cold-cocked Santa Claus with ice balls. The police had to preemptively Crisco the lamp poles on the chance that we would win (or lose) the Super Bowl, which we then took as a personal challenge and finished things off by punching two difference police horses and at least one gentlemen ate horse dumplings to…(prove a point?). We purposely eat scrapple and like it.
We met a friendly hitchhiking robot once…and beheaded it. When the city stopped us from breaking our own fire hydrants, we made pools out of dumpsters just because they said we couldn’t.
And don’t get me started on GRITTY, our sports mascot created solely to spite a league that said we had to, made out of the concentrated extract of children’s nightmares, combining all the charm of an animatronic muppet, the warmth of a sewer clown, the crazed eyes of an Eagles fan after a loss, and adding a pair of murder knives to his feet…the same mascot who ASSAULTED A CHILD in his first year of existence and no Philly grand jury would indict.
Oh, and if somehow you think that isn’t enough, that there is some tactical advantage you can gain by surrounding the city…you better look to the hills to the East on the third day like the Uruk-Hai because you got a couple hundred thousand cousins and adopted sons ready to rain down like the Riders of Rohan just like THE LAST TIME someone surrounded Philly, and South Jersey chose to cross the Delaware in a makeshift flotilla…in the middle of the night…and murder everyone in their sleep…ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
Guys…as a fellow conservative…just don’t…not in Philly. Maybe start in Savannah and work your way up.
EDIT: if you don't remember the hitchhiking robot story, here's the Wiki blurb.

That's fucking funny.
November 6th, 2020 at 1:08 PM ^
I always get along with people from Philadelphia, and now I know why.
November 6th, 2020 at 2:38 PM ^
Link? Would love to show this to a few friends.
November 6th, 2020 at 11:39 AM ^
Politics!
I just did it.
November 6th, 2020 at 12:22 PM ^
Mrs. Hatter and I danced the Pennsylvania Polka in the living room at 9am.
Lawrence Welk ftw!
November 6th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
that didn't take long at all.....
November 6th, 2020 at 10:05 AM ^
You got me man! I was certain that Don Brown had been hired to coach UConn. Damn you Alex Cora.
November 6th, 2020 at 10:45 AM ^
I thought you were going to say the Goose 2 night run in Connecticut is still on even with the local shutdown going into effect. Now that is a November miracle.

That's right, Alex Cora has re-named the manager of the Boston Red Sox
What did Alex rename him?
November 6th, 2020 at 10:55 AM ^
J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Manager of the Boston Red Sox
November 6th, 2020 at 11:15 AM ^
In an effort to confuse their opponents, he renamed him batboy.
November 6th, 2020 at 8:35 PM ^
His name shall be spelled "Alex Cora", but pronounced "Cheating McCheaterton"
November 6th, 2020 at 10:50 AM ^
This is a strange move by the Sox. I guess they know they won’t be competitive with their roster so why not?
November 6th, 2020 at 12:12 PM ^
Thanks Obama
November 6th, 2020 at 1:36 PM ^
What did he rename it to?
November 6th, 2020 at 3:58 PM ^
cheating pays,
November 6th, 2020 at 8:28 PM ^
Some potentially intriguing Tigers/BoSox matches in the offing. Bet on the home team.
November 6th, 2020 at 9:38 PM ^
Why not?
