I won't change my opinion. I dislike Trump and feel he's very evil. But I have to be selfish here. I want him to succeed if it means I'm not homeless someday. Democrats and Republicans alike don't care about the middle class and poor. Social security is dying; medicare/medicaid is dying and of course health care is the biggest scam ever and is preparing to bankrupt all Americans in the middle to poor class.

You wait. He won't run. He'll either be long gone via impeachment or just decide he's ready to count his money and golf every day.

Damn I forgot Paulie. I worshiped him.

Frank's one of my favorite Sox of all time. But for a four-year stretch, I bet u only Frank, and maybe Robin and Baines had as consistently productive a four-year span (when you use regular stats BA, HR, RBI.

Glad to see the Sox playing better after the 8 game losing streak. Tilson is hitting over .290. Good to see Avi mash the HR. Moncada's defense. Shields has had some stinkers that would prevent him from bringing back anything useful but if the Sox want to dump him, I will concede some team that needs a No. 5 might take him. He's to the point he appears to have a chance at helping somebody that needs one back of the rotation starter badly. No way a GM will give up much for him, but somebody might take him off the Sox hands after yet another good outing from him. I would not go there if I was a GM because this all might be Coop related. You bring Shields in without Coop and he could cost you games if you are a contender. Nice win, though Minaya should be DFAed or sent down. No need to see him again.

With his ego, all he's got to do is wait and find out who the leading Democratic contender is and if he's told it's obvious he doesn't stand a chance, he won't run again IMO. Now if the experts tell him it's 50/50 and he has a chance, damn.

I said one of the best 4 year runs. Frank obviously would be in there. Who else? Maybe Robin. Baines.

Not a bad post. You don't want America to fail so in my mind that's good.

Not a bad answer. Not bad at all. But generally speaking ... let's say under his regime we have unprecedented economic success. Do you want him to succeed in that regard? For general prosperity of the USA? Or do you want a recession/depression so he gets blamed and ousted? I'm saying I want the prosperity but still would want him out after 4 years for Bernie cause his stance on health care won't be changing.

Sorry Hurt, I feel your pain and wonder how you are getting by without health insurance. I tell you, this double crossing B.S. regarding health care is why I've given up. I want Bernie and want him now to make it free for all. Health care has jumped the shark. Even if you have coverage, good luck not going in the poorhouse. For instance, I'd love to hear from folks whose wives have just had a baby. For those of you with good plans, tell me how much you paid out of pocket for said baby. Years ago, you were covered; baby is basically free, full 100 percent coverage. Now? Good luck. Also lets say a boomer who is living check to check has coverage at work yet he gets a condition that keeps him hospitalized 3 weeks and out of work 3 months. Hmmm, will boomer and his family have to hit the streets?

Of course they are. No way Kim Jong Un has become a reasonable guy. He knows Trump has such a huge ego he can shake hands and say he's committed to denuclearization and would believe him. Rich guys' egos can be stroked and Kim fooled him big time. The question is ... when this rich guy figures it out, will he be so mad/vindictive he blows up Kim's nuclear plants? This is still a powerderkeg and nuclear war is still 50/50 with NK. Unless China tells em to behave IMO.

His traditional stats probably are one of the best 4-year runs in Sox history, maybe THE best. BA, HR, RBI over a 4-year span. Granted his glove is pretty weak but what the heck. Our team blows defensively.

Thanks pt. Sounds like he'll be fine w/out surgery.

So Balta, will you go on the record saying you wish Trump to fail? I think that's sort of un-American if that's your answer. At least Greg answers questions the best he can directly. A lot of you guys hit me with one liners, win the current argument, and we wait for the next one. I wish more people would post on here. I think a lot of people understand my sentiments but stifle.

I don't think people read my posts. What more can I say negative regarding Trump? If I'm not mistaken I call him "evil" a lot and a "jerk" a lot. I don't want to cuss on here if I can avoid it. I also have advocated for him getting impeached and stand by my prediction he won't finish his term. Not bad for a Republican. Not many of us comment negatively against "one of their own" like that. I don't see u guys blasting Demos, even that woman who suggested roughing up Trump supporters, "pushing back." I see no criticism of her. Sorry I forget her name and am too lazy to look it up here at Panera. I guess I'm wasting my wrists typing. Either nobody reads it or nobody believes it. The one positive thing I say about Trump is I want him to succeed. I guess that stance makes u guys mad. Cause it'd help me and millions of others stay off the streets. Homeless. ... I don't hear any of you offering to take me in if health care costs send me to the poorhouse someday. As far as Sarah S. I don't like her handling of the press conferences, however, the format probably needs to change. Like the TV shows I won't watch, it's people yelling yelling yelling over each other. She gets condescending in trying to move on. I am uncomfortable watching them and frankly don't care what SS has to say. If Trumpie can't be the guy fielding the questions I see no value in her speaking for him. I don't think you can judge her off those conferences. I've heard nothing that suggests anything but her being a very nice person, a good mom and a credit to society.

Wow we won last night? Cool. I can't ever remember not knowing if the Sox won or lost on a given day the past many many years. I turned it off last night with us up one and didn't feel so confident. Nice to beat the Twins in the rain.

I feel sorry for the guy. Damn. More pitcher injuries. I agree if he needs surgery, do it ASAP, but PTATC can fill us in. I trust him completely.

Read the posts. You guys can say all you want how nobody "hates" Abreu but if you read every Abreu post there's definitely an air of negativity regarding him. I understand completely your guys' points about his projection in the future and age. I just don't agree.

Would you say the Abreu through the first four years offered "extra value?" How could his stats have been any better? For a 4-year run it had to be in the top 5 in White Sox history. Tough crowd on Soxtalk.

If she broke the law like I said arrest her now I am all for prosecution but I would’ve tweeted it on a personal account because getting denied service was quite the snub the restaurant deserves to be called out

Trump is an evil man he needs to apologize for a lot of things but he never will. do I think it’s right? No. do I think he’s a bad guy? of course

I didn't know about Biden. I said I love Biden on here. As far as Sanders tweets ... I applaud her for tweeting it. If she broke the law doing it on a government website, I would arrest her and charge her. I am NOT for breaking the law.

Not really. I definitely think she was smart in tweeting it. She can't control Trump's dumb tweet about the business being filthy. Dick you are wrong here. If that happened to anybody social media savvy they'd tweet it. Sanders played it well, but didn't play being a victim. I wouldnt blame her.

I don't know why some of you guys think a veteran like Abreu won't have tremendous value to the Sox on the field and in the clubhouse. I'd say this board consists of the Sox most passionate fans and for the most part the most stat savvy fans and I think we can conclude "most" of you won't lose any sleep over trading Abreu. It makes very little sense to me because as we've seen in Moncada and Lopez and Gio, these guys are all potentially fine players but to tell you the truth, Abreu's stats the past four years are close to the ceiling of what you should "expect" from Robert, Rutherford, all those studs we have now. Maybe Eloy is projected to do a bit better. I maintain to you Abreu has incredible value to the Sox being the veteran in the clubhouse and on the field. I contend his lousy production of late probably has to do with his mental state of mind. Playing for such a loser of an organization to this date has to wear on you during your at bats.

Well the Sarah Sanders story has just about run its course, used up its 15 minutes of fame. How did everybody come out? Looks like Sanders came across as a classy person, just walking away and going home. She was not seen as much of a victim though. She'll continue on her daily duties fighting the media and vice versa. The left has to be happy she did not emerge heroic. b.) Restaurant owner survives not apologizing, sounds as if she continues to lay low she'll be fine. Who cares if she's not running the downtown business association any more? She might watch out for a lunatic or two for another week or so but she'll be fine. c.) The person who advocated doing this to Trump supporters everywhere and "pushing back" has survived without issuing an apology. I forget her name. So why was this story moderately important? More hatred in America exhibited. People hating on each other is not good.
