Trump isn't going to be re-elected if there's a candidate out there not named Hillary Clinton. People aren't that dumb to give DT another term. He's evil.

Any chance of Bernie running independent? Even he should be concerned about possible backstabbing to make sure he doesn't get the nomination. I realize running Indy means you can't win though which saddens me. The USA politicians no longer care about the poor or middle class at all on either side, or students and their debt, so I want a radical like Bernie to give us free stuff. Why? It's better than paying, paying paying and getting nothing in return except high medical costs and impending breakup of SS and medicare. Thanks, government for everything.

Nobody's going to pony up 18 to 20 mill a year considering he's probably older than his listed age. I'd say if he gets 15 mill a year he's tapped out there. I could see it between 12 and 15, couldn't you? Jose should be thrilled to get 60 million for four years from his favorite team, the Sox. Then one year deals like Melky.

The problem is our fans don’t want to pay any of the current players they only want to pay the unknown guys from other teams. just give Jose 12 to 15,000,000 a year for four years and call it good but no our fans don’t want to pay White Sox players

I just watched highlights. His delivery looked fine but he looked like he was pitching batting practice. He's lucky he didn't get killed out there. He was just laying it in there over the plate and it didn't seem very fast, either. Yikes. Does he have any options? Send his ass to minors. He won't be getting many guys out with that stuff.

I haven't seen Gio's starts so I'm just talking off box scores. He is 6-foot-6. He is walking some people. Sometimes these tall guys need to have simple windups or pitch from the stretch. I'm assuming he hasn't put much thought in his delivery, but he better go train under Randy Johnson for a month this offseason. Like I said, these excessively tall pitchers often have control problems. PTATC can u analyze his delivery?

If Bernie does run it's gonna be a repeat. He'll get backstabbed by his own party and split it. Trump will love that.

I disagree

Trading him would be so dumb.

What is wrong with the Democratic party? I sense disdain for Bernie, almost hatred. This is a guy the Millenials want. He could win. And like I said, I've given up. The Republican candidates don't care about the middle class going broke over health care. And Social Security that is going to put so many Baby Boomers on the streets when they run out of funds in retirement. I'm generally not for socialism but I've been forced there by Trump and all the politicians who don't give a flip about the middle class/poor class. Get behind Bernie. I do wish we could turn back the clock and make him 10 years younger but whatever. He'll need a good VP candidate, not some embarrassment. Bernie I predict will adopt a gun policy that will support the grade schoolers and high schoolers who are under siege by maniacs/madmen. If we don't start fixing health care and college kids going into severe debt just to get a degree, etc., we better build homeless parks cause 70 percent of the current middle class over 50 will be homeless someday. And these Millenials will be homeless in their late 30s, 40s because of lack of jobs and the fact they've just got no money. Cancer is out of control; diseases are out of control and like I said your savings will be gone in an instant if you ever need surgery and/or a 3 week hospital stay. I wish the Democrats would get behind Bernie. But again I sense flat out hatred of him.

Nice win. I know nothing about Covey except he was a fourth rounder. I can hope he's decent.

Is he suspended with pay?

I am giving up now. I want Bernie and only Bernie. We have given traditional politics many tries and what do we get?? We get unsulted and pillaged of our money. Health care is now my No. 1 concern. Because in the last 10 years we've now finally gotten to the point those assholes running health care companies refuse to pay for our health care expenses even if we buy the maximum coverage of insurance. Again ... how many of the middle class save their entire lives, have a worth of about 500,000 bucks which could be a good chunk in retirement, but NOOOOOOOO. A trip to the hospital and you will have to pay 70-80 percent of the bill because of the pathetic health care situation we are in. So I now want FREE coverage for all and Bernie is the only guy to give us that. I also want free college education for kids now because the colleges have fooled society into thinking they need to charge kids 50,000 bucks a semester or school year for fricking in state tuition. Ridiculous. And guns. I want none on the street anymore to protect the grade schoolers and high schoolers and movie theatre goers. Bernie will do that. And I want social security to stay and you just know it's going away soon. BERNIE IS THE ANSWER and the only answer right now cause Ventura is un-electable. Bernie can win. Cmon Millenials, go for your first president.

Unless there's an inside source or two telling us Girardi is horrible in the clubhouse, etc., he could be the guy. We need a Leyland/LaRussa/Lasorda/Francona type to make us legit and too bad the first three are too old. Girardi is the man, unless there are ghosts in his closet that tell us he's a bum.

Good column. I approve of this part the most ... I don't think Ricky is THE biggest problem in the organization, of course. He didn't bring in this sorry collection of pitchers/players to hold down the fort as we wait for the young reinforcements for the most part. But I like this part of the column I know the rebuild wasn’t always going to be linear. But it doesn’t have to be lazy and embarrassing. That cutesy slogan that “Ricky’s boys don’t quit”? Someone needs to amend it because too many of Ricky’s boys quit running when it’s the easiest thing in the game to do.

Indeed. Our pen still blows.

I'm a vocal Bernie supporter because our country blew it. a.) Healthcare companies are committing crimes every day refusing to pay for medical care. If you go in the hospital, get ready to pay 60 to 70 percent of the bill cause the companies will reject services. Bernie will stop that shit cause we'll have FREE health care. b.) guns. Bernie will get them off the streets or annoy Republicans until he gets his way. c.) free college education for millenials. why not make it free? The capitalist system had its chances but the mega rich blew it for regular middle class people. If we can't make a middle class living, then give me Bernie ball -- socialism Bernie style baby. d.) social security. You just know it's going away and soon. Bernie ball will keep it intact.

Nice to win at home especially. Nate Jones has four saves.

Salary relief? What are you smoking? Why are you concerned about the owners' pockets? They are swimming in money and the team payroll is so low it's embarrassing. And you want a salary relief dumping of Jose A? You must be one of those fans who only cares about guys on other teams and prospects. The grass is always greener somewhere else cause Jose actually makes outs once in a while.

Every advanced metrics statnik knows the bunt is NEVER called for any more in modern baseball. Ricky bunts a lot. So he must be shown the door if this team truly is new wave using metrics. I mean one bunt is too many. Is it against baseball's unwritten rules that the GM can't tell a manager to stop calling for bunts? Seriously. If a team is committed to statnik type baseball how can that team allow the manager to bunt???

What is that? Sounds awesome. BERNIE IS RuNNIN FOR PRES!

Ugh. Get the guns off the streets. I do like No. 2 however. ... The bottom line is that video I saw on the Internet of the campaign when Trump told the gun-niks "you will keep your guns; you will keep your magazines; nothing will happen." That video is all we need. No politician will get the guns off the streets; too many votes lost. It's sick and said. That's why I've totally changed my politics. I am ONLY for candidates that will give us free healthcare and only for candidates that will get the guns off the streets. Bernie baby!!!Why can't you be 20 years younger Bernie?

I don't follow the Cubs. Do they need a first baseman? They might overpay again in a trade with the Chisox. Jose A deserves to be on a contender.

This is what bothers greg so much. Put together a .500 team during the rebuild (all it woulda cost was a few bucks; still coulda made the key trades involved) and we'd be having fun right now. The rebuild didn't have to be exclusive of .500.

Somebody go to the games and count the fans please. It would be cool to know if there are only 2,500 in the park each night.
