The fact that Getz apparently had to talk Jerry into a 2/$34M for Murakami by making a revenue generation-based argument suggests two troubling things: (1) Getz doesn't have the autonomy to add a 2/34 to his sub-$90M payroll, and (2) Jerry doesn't seem to currently feel like "making the team better" is worthy of monetary investment on its own I just can't quite imagine that we're going to see them taking on any bad money for anything so frivolous as acquiring talent.

I promise you, you will get not good reactions/discussion on a Chicago based message board lol.

At best, an extreme bandwagon fanbase.

People are being murdered in our streets, targeted by a unaccountable, non-police force, you know the whole reason for the 2ndA in most discussions, and in this case, you can't rush fast enough to justify it. We have toppled governments for less. Like I said previously, exactly. This is exactly what what I expected.

Low attendance does not mean small fanbase.

What should the Illinois General Assembly and Governor offer them?

Lmao youre calling the south loop a despressed dead zone vs their current location, sandwiched between a super highway, rail yard, public housing and seas of parking lots. I cant think of anything more depressing than their current location. Maybe if they moved to O block..

I don't want to have a political debate with you, as like some here I find the polarization nauseating, BUT I do care about rights and the law and procedure. From the DOJ itself: DOJ Bylaws (https://www.justice.gov/jm/1-16000-department-justice-policy-use-force): Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect. Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle. The officer very clearly was able to move out of the path of the vehicle in the video, therefore he violated the policy and the DOJ law as it relates to discharging a weapon. It's important to know your rights, and the expectations of law enforcement. Fleeing a crime, that was a misdemeanor at best, does not allow for law enforcement to shoot you. It is black and white.

Targeted? You think the ICE agents somehow made that lady show up, obstruct their law enforcement activity and then proceed to hit one of them with her car. Thats ludicrous.

You mean when the lady went from obstructing law enforcement to trying to run a law enforcement officer over? Last I checked, its been well established that deadly force may be met with deadly force. Pretty easy to avoid being shot due to attempting to hit someone with a car by not attempting to hit someone with a car Certainly wouldn't be considered an assassination. Wouldn't she be a law abiding citizen either, such as was the case with Kirk

For me? I feel like it might be better.

Yes, the idea that Americans aren't being targeted and killed on the streets extrajudiciously these days is exactly the response I expected. I am not surprised that confused you.

Dude, pretty much everybody tip toed around this argument all day. I'm certainly not in charge of anything here, but you can either message SS2k5 or just invite him to 4chan. Bring up a hairbrained trade idea. Or link to some Twitter dude's s%*# trade proposal. We can sure use it.

You know what situation he is talking about, though.

I assume a lot of people in the south burbs would love them to move to Hammond. I'm in the west burbs so it would be a pain for me but I don't attend games. Not a huge fan of watching football in person. So much better on TV.

Apparently you are. My bad for assuming.

The response was in relation to how nonsensical your response was. You claimed people who thought Kirk assassination was a bad thing have subsequently been celebrating assassinations. I pointed there hasn't been an assassination since Kirk, and you respond "exactly". Makes no sense, you see

Acuna is supposed to have some CF ability. I think his bat profiles as a defensive specialist, although there's bloodlines, and he has hit in the minors. The White Sox have lusted after him.

Tray, no skirting the filter. Naughty naughty.

Really? Fvk off, fvk all the way off.

"The White Sox have one of the smallest fanbases in MLB after 125 years in so-called "Bridgeport". So building a stadium on a lot that is far less accessible and far more inconvenient for fans will somehow increase the fan base ?

Those who live in Illinois in the thread, will a move to Hammond or Gary increase the time it takes to go to a Bears game? Would it bother you if they played in Indiana? Would you be concerned about the loss of tax revenue?

Cap off the incredible weekend by having Rodgers look like an old ass loser, please.

I assume Acuna's the CF, but is he and can he hit? Mets have the worst CF situation among contenders, if not in baseball. Should be aggressive.
