QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 12, 2017 -> 06:27 PM) There are countless examples of him doing and saying extraordinarily stupid things. What examples are there of him being intelligent? You think somebody stupid can amass all the power he's amassed and all the wealth he's amassed and survived all the debates and got elected president? Either Trump is smart or all those voters who elected him are "stupid." Of course he's an intelligent guy. He didn't make it this big by not being a very very smart guy. His problems are all caused by his ego as a 1 percent rich guy. But has nothing to do with his smarts.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 12, 2017 -> 06:17 PM) oh I just wanted to acknowledge your super hot take that you offer all the time. Dick actually pays attention to the news and doesn't circle back to Hillary every chance he gets Just accept the fact there can be a double standard. If somebody makes a quick snarky response against Trump, people laugh, nod and move on cause almost everybody on here is anti Trump. Nobody notices the post offered nothing but a quick blast of Trump cause 96 percent of this board vehemently dislike Trump. I think there are 2, maybe 3 posters total on here that stand up for Trump at all, and if they dare post something they get called on it. That's fine.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 12, 2017 -> 05:11 PM) Thanks greg Why don't you thank Dick Allen for his "he really is not a bright man?" Why is it OK for statements like that to be made and not expect a response? It goes both ways. Just because you don't back my stance doesn't mean it's not appropriate to respond to simple statements like Dick Allen's.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 12, 2017 -> 03:54 PM) Everything Trump is doing to make it go away, is making him look worse. He really is not a bright man. This is an interesting social experiment. We're finding out what your normal rich guy with a huge ego would do if elected president. Remember, when you are a rich, one percenter, reality TV star, your ego and your money drive everything at all times. He's either going to tire of all the media hate/scrutiny and just quit or, if he's shielded from the media scrutiny/hate enough by his hangers-on, he'll keep doing crazy things until the point they get him on something and impeachment proceedings begin. I don't think your statement "he really is not a bright man" is true. Oh, he's bright enough. He's a 70 year old rich 1 percenter with a HUGE, monstrous ego. That defines him more than anything else. Now I could go on my rant about how the Democrats couldn't even beat this guy in an election but I won't go all into how I believe the other candidate was actually worse than Mr. Trump.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 12, 2017 -> 01:50 PM) LOL. Yes, ban business travelers from doing work. If making bombs out of laptops is indeed becoming commonplace, then we're all screwed because ultimately they will be banned on flights in the U.S. The way luggage is handled, I can't imagine people being happy about their laptops getting stored as luggage and broken. And what about the fact it could still detonate as part of the luggage compartment? Are all laptops eventually going to be banned from trips? Business people are going to have to drive everywhere if they can't have their laptops.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 12, 2017 -> 03:36 AM) The sooner the better. For sure. This team had its one good month and is ready to lose 80 percent of its games the rest of the way. Trade everybody now or asap.

LOL. Can't beat a horrid Twins team at home again. At least Stoney and Benetti were enjoyable to listen to. Thank you Stoney and Benetti. Professional broadcast. Interesting. Nice stuff

Saladino stinks. Very surprising to me.

Trade Robertson now for gosh sakes. He is a stud.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2017 -> 03:29 AM) Well, you had Kevan Smith, Willy Garcia...Yolmer already pinch ran. Asche was the other. Great options there, Gregster. You would have done what there? If you PH Willy Garcia (righty-righty), he's still a significantly worse defender in CF than Leury. Terrible options. Sad we have such a roster. Smith would have struck out. Asche would have struck out. Willy Garcia? He probably would have struck out.

I don't know who could have pinch hit, but that was Robin-like letting those two stiffs bat.

Omar and L. Garcia? What a roster trying to win a game. Joke.

Omar are you serious? He's not a big leaguer, but still.

Don't steal.

Do batters on good teams hit to all fields? Or do all hitters try to pull each and every time they bat? Good eye Davidson.

Hopefully that 20 year old in Class A they were talking about will be a stud.

That dumbass in the front row has a Mets Tebow jersey. How stupid.

Pretty weak when you score six runs and can't win at home. This Sox team blows chunks.

Glad to see Davidson and Anderson get hits. Davidson must be in a bit of a slump if he's down to .250. I haven't paid close attention since he had an Avi-like batting average. Gorgeous home run; beautiful bloop by TA. Surprised Anderson couldn't get a double out of that.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 12, 2017 -> 02:12 AM) He's clearly pressing. That surprises me. He has it made. Finally gets to play everyday and there should be no pressure playing for a non contender in a great city of Chicago. Yet there's no pressure with the small crowds. Very confusing. He should be raking.

Benetti has this thing about Stoney's birthday. He's asked him about it two games in a row now. I love Benetti but you can tell he's a snowflake generation guy bringing up birthday's all the time. Look, men Stoney's age don't care about their birthdays anymore.

I can't believe Baltimore and Washington, who can't be blowing games, won't overpay big time for Robertson NOW. Our lousy team does not need him. If this is a rebuild, I hope Hahn has a plan regarding getting 3 studs for David Robertson.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2017 -> 12:33 AM) He looks awful at the plate this year. No one to blame but himself when he loses playing time next month It's so sad. What happened to him? He looked like he could hit .300 in his sleep. Now he's miserable stiff. Amazing.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2017 -> 04:00 AM) What Balta is saying, basically: Did you vote for Moran or Roberts? Your member of the House, not sure where you live in KS, would either be Yoder (KC/Johnson Cty) or Jenkins (closer to Topeka). Did you vote for either of them? I have to be honest and say I didn't vote for either. I abstained. QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ May 11, 2017 -> 04:04 AM) I'd love to know who Greg voted for President. I'll say this about Greg - he may be infuriating with his lack of consistency politically, but at least he's a respectful poster. Some people in this thread would do well to emulate his overall demeanor. Thank you. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2017 -> 04:11 AM) Greg didn't vote for Trump or Clinton. I had to write somebody in cause I didn't like either candidate. Write-in candidate. yes sir.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 11, 2017 -> 12:33 AM) Next step; if you've voted for any Republicans at the level of the national House/Senate, you also have voted in favor of this bill. Brownback is a dope. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2017 -> 03:16 AM) Perhaps the other reason you label yourself Republican is for longstanding moral/religious reasons (going back to the culture wars of the 80's and 90's). We can also argue which side the Catholic Church is on, depends where you grow up. In Boston or NYC, you're definitely a Democrat. I am an Independent.
