QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 24, 2016 -> 03:11 AM) Greg, if anyone ever had any respect for you, it should be gone now. The media turned Trump into Cosby? It's the media's fault? That's disgusting. Now we are back to greg is scum posts. Look, I said if Trump had entered the race late, none of this stuff would have surfaced because of uh, the time frame. If he enters the race six months later, we have the election and he's still talking about a wall and being an untraditional politician. BTW, this Trump thing with women is NOT on the level of a full fledged scandal. If the women can prove the allegations or file a lawsuit or make charges stick as in the Cosby case then we'll talk further. Right now he denies everything and not all voters have abandoned him. Don't make it sound like right now he's some proven rapist. It may turn out that way but if that was the case he WOULD NOT be allowed to continue to run for President. He'd be arrested and awaiting trial. As of now that is not the case.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 24, 2016 -> 03:38 AM) This is gross. Hillary is the most accomplished woman in American political history, but yeah, sure, whatever you say. It's not gross, it's true. Accomplished? What has she done? Like when SNL zinged her last night on the "last 30 years debate question." She's done very very little on the positive side. A common person who did what she did would be in jail or disgraced. Hillary? The FBI turns the other way. QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 24, 2016 -> 03:42 AM) You understand that 2) Statistically, the more people see of Hillary (or the media's portrayal of her) the more they dislike her - which isn't surprising given her unprecedentedly skewed media coverage - but the longer the race goes, the closer it's actually become (if not for Trumps ridiculous gaffes) What I'm saying is a.) if Trump gets in as late as possible he can possibly ride the "new guy" crusader thing all the way to the White House. He gave the media so much time to finally turn him into Cosby. b.) I disagree on Hillary. Yes the more people see they hate her, to an extent. My point is she has been around forever and we are used to seeing/hearing her. It's like the vase your are still using even though you should get a new one. You are used to it and even though it may now suck you are used to it and deal with it.

QUOTE (b-Rye @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 10:18 PM) Giants and dodgers were really weak teams, cubs should of swept both teams. Indians have been hot throughout playoffs , cubs have them talent wise but it depends on how the cubs hit. Unfortunately cubs are built to win the next 3-5 years with no competition in sight in national league. I'm hoping Indians win in seven, but cubs probably got them in five games as long as they hit the ball or don't have a mental breakdown that leads to a choke . Not only do the cubs have top young talent theyve also bought a the finishing pieces to puzzle , more timely than Yanks/bosox ever have. I think this year and next year will be theyre prime dominant years and they'll slowly decline due to bad contracts , injuries , and lack off high draft picks I think this post says it all. Agree with everything here. The ultimate decline depends on the improvements Epstein makes after they win the WS this year and next. Funny thing is after the curse and everything, they might go on a Yankee like dynasty of the old days. Cubs could win the WS 3 of the next five years starting now, maybe 4.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) The bragging about sexual assault / being a threat to the American experiment doesn't have an effect. If Trump entered later none of that would've been a factor it would've never come up

QUOTE (ron883 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 01:51 PM) GO CUBS GO GO CUBS GO HEY CHICAGO WHATAYA SAY THE CUBS ARE GONNA WIN TODAY I'm still completely wasted from last night. Chicago was a complete s***show. So fun though This is a White Sox board. You are too giddy for the Cubs. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) We just got to hope if there really is a baseball god, he's got something special in store for Cubs fans, something far worse than the Bartman event. The Cubs should win this thing on paper, but stranger things have happened. I won't make an official prediction, but I will be actively cheering for the Tribe for the first time in my adult life. They made the WS. It's already a successful season believe it or not for them. But they'll beat Cleveland unless for some reason home field does them in. QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 05:10 PM) I'm at Walmart right now. I have never seen more people in the store wearing Cubs stuff in my life. They all look like they just got laid for the first time. Right now it's obvious they own the city. Sox did this to themselves by hiring Robin and becoming so irrelevant. I told you guys no matter what Ozzie kept us in the news and relevant. QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 08:41 PM) I know the feeling...especially when you politely tell them "No, I am a White Sox fan." And then they are like "Oh. Uhhh...Sorry." Yeah, not much you can do about it right now except accept their condolenses. Tell em we've got Chris Sale and Jose Quintana.

Now that it's totally been decided, I'd like to ask you to reveal to me the key to Hillary emerging as runaway winner. I'll tell you what truly has hurt Donald Trump ... it's the length of the presidential race, almost 2 years of campaigning, etc. What happened and what happens is that such a long campaign/run favors the person who everybody knows. Hillary could have campaigned for four years and everybody already knew her and her "15 minutes of political fame" had no danger of running out. Whereas Trump was very well known as a TV personality, he was a political novice, a fresh face on the politics scene. The long long long campaign run ended in disaster because it gave the media time to truly get him and bury him. At one point, Trump was riding sky high. He at one point would have won the election. But because he was running for almost two years, he finally got burned. The media had time to get its act together and nail him on the issue of sex. Finding the women he allegedly abused, etc. Just think if Trump campaigned for say, six months total. He would have been at the top right now. Instead his 15 minutes of political fame long have run out. He jumped the shark a few months ago when the sex stuff was uncovered. I'm telling you ... candidates that are not already so well known (anybody besides a Bush or Clinton) should enter the campaign LATE. Trump could have hinted he might run, but the only amount of time he needed was from the calendar date of the first Republican debate on. Now Americans are sick of him; even his big supporters just want him to go away cause he's old news, his 15 minutes of political fame are long gone. Hillary meanwhile? We all know her from before. Sure many Americans like me despise her, but with the help of all the endorsements from celebrities, etc., we can tolerate Hillary being our president. Hell she gets exactly what she had wanted: her lifetime achievement award. There will be huge celebrating from the day she's elected til the day she is inaugurated. The process has played itself out again. Trump was so stupid in not just entering the race late and trying to time it right so Americans disgusted with the same ol political process would elect him. Now ... we know him too well. Hell, even his wall, which had fresh support when he first brought it up, now is considered a horrible idea by almost all Americans. The wall, once a fresh, controversial issue and sign Trump was thinking outside the box, became old news as well. He has no chance and the coronation is set. Do you all agree with me: Candidacies have run out of steam before, run out of gas. If you are a candidate, ENTER THE RACE AS LATE AS YOU CAN. Don't give the world a chance to find all your warts. make them run out of time.

It's been quiet in North Korea lately. Wonder what he's up to?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 12:53 PM) Don't think Cruz beats Clinton. He's not well liked by anyone and too much of a religious conservative to win a national election. The FBI simply won't indict a candidate of the president's party unless it's a crystal clear case like Watergate where the entire process of governing has been subverted. Questionable judgment is a different standard. Thing is ... Trump just went on stage at the debates and blew them away with insults and saying how great he was and how he'd be the only one who could beat Hillary. He single handedly pared the field and turned Cruz into what was perceived as an idiot/clown. Had Trump not run, just think, one of the real politicians would have been the republican candidate, assuming Cruz or Bush beat out Carson or Fiorina. So with Trump out of the running maybe Cruz would have caught on or Fabio.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 02:12 AM) 11 women have now come out, and with less than 20 days left, Trump is still kinda sorta in this race. With all the s*** he has said, as dangerous of a person he truly is, this is sorta a blip on the radar. Donald Trump made an offer to a porn star to have sex? COLOR ME SHOCKED!!! The Republicans should have figured out a way to "rig" the nomination process like the DNC did to burn Bernie. Anybody but Trump probably would have beaten Hillary. Maybe the FBI would have actually done the right thing and recommended charges if the Repubs had gotten behind Bush or Kasisch or Cruz. They let Donald whittle the field down single handedly. He made Bush seem like a bozo at the debates; he turned Cruz into a cartoon and nobody gave Kasisch a chance. Cruz would have beaten Clinton if Trump hadn't been around attacking Cruz and all the others at the Repub debates.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 05:32 AM) This is the best one yet. Girl who looked to be in her early twenties starts crying about how she has been waiting for this her whole life. I thought about the 80 year old who also has been waiting. Shut up lady. Haha Geez, that's pathetic. Chicago really has turned around the city of losers thing. With the Cubs now, and the Blackhawks having all those titles/parades and the White Sox winning 11 years ago and the Bears still having a title in modern history and the Bulls having all those titles in modern history, Chicago has turned it around nicely compared to before 85 when the Bears busted the city of losers image.

Cubs have a much better roster. I didn't watch any of the AL playoff games for some reason so I have no idea if Cleveland has been playing great baseball like the Royals did last year. I just don't see any weaknesses on the Cubs team. You know maybe if Schwarber actually gets activated that will screw up their chemistry or something. Other than that I think the Cubs will win it in five. They'll split in Cleveland and Cubs will win 3 in a row in Wrigley. I wonder why baseball goes 2-3-2 instead of 2-2-1-1-1 I guess homefield could matter. It is important. Cleveland's only hope IMO is if their fans really do throw the Cubs off and Cleveland wins the first two then takes one in Wrigley to go up 3-2 heading into the final two in Cleveland. If the series opens 1-1 or 2-0 Cubs, forget it. Cubs starting pitching is pretty damn good. I can't believe many thought a team with 1 starter, Kershaw, would beat the Cubs. Rich Hill? Please he'd have gotten lit up Sunday.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 04:56 AM) well the dodgers are a dreadful baseball team thanks for f***ing nothing go indians You are right. The Dodgers really looked like a flawed ballclub. You know, everybody besides the Cubs this postseason has looked like a pretty ordinary roster. Maybe the Sox just need a good manager or some magic to contend. Dodgers and Giants had nothing special on the mound or in the field. Conor Gillaspie? The stiffs the Dodgers were sending to the plate and pitching? I wish we had a special manager. We don't. QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 05:11 AM) The bullpen was lucky for sure. A lot of retread vets had great years like Dye and Everett as well. I never wanted Ozzie gone. Cmon I hate what's happened to the White Sox, but the 05 Sox were not lucky in any way. It was one of the most dominant performances in postseason history as a matter of fact. Luck had NOTHING to do with it. Far from it. We dominated.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 04:44 AM) I'm upset we are stuck with incompetent ownership and management with no hope of the necessary changes being made for the foreseeable future. Multiple World Series wins for the Cubs and this team will never recover. The 2005 team was complete luck given how badly they squandered a huge opportunity to grow the fan base. Not total luck. You guys despise Ozzie but he did a helluva job managing that team and not yanking starters when they were hot and overmanaging. Also we had very very good starting pitching and played clean baseball and had some big hits. All those games against the Astros were clean and close and we had a deserving team. Never forget how we dominated the postseason. It wasn't luck. However ... I do agree with much of what you said.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 04:40 AM) No fights that I could see. Just a LOT of people. More came towards the 9th and end of the game. Cars honking horns constantly in cheer. Beer spraying kinda sucked, but only a few did that. Left as I'm not much of a party animal and don't like big groups of people, also wanted to get home for work in the early am for the lady. Overall, a great atmosphere if one is into that kind of thing. Every bar around was packed throughout the game. Cool. I'm surprised real people would waste their beer and spray it. I wonder how many people will get pulled over tonight and have to take breathalizers just cause they smell of beer. You get sprayed you can't avoid it. Not a better scenario for a fan. Saturday night way before midnight. Party time.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 04:35 AM) WOOOHOO Nice job Cubs, I was out there on Waveland cheering you guys on in the 9th, had a blast. Only issue was with a few people beer-spraying us, but man what a joy. Now end the indians and the White sox will be burried, unfortunately. Were there any fights? What's going on out there? Why did you leave?

So as a Sox fan how do you feel on a scale of 1-10? I feel a 3. Happy for the people who never had a title and this proves Chicago is a great sports town again. So many titles in recent history. However as a Sox fan I'm mad. Our team blows right now and thought hiring Robin Ventura was a good idea. Morons.

Does Billy Williams work for the Cubs? Boy the remodel really gave the Cubs a nice locker room. Holy s***.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 04:21 AM) What are they doing? I stopped following this thread when the Dodgers didn't throw Kershaw for game 4 or 5. No urgency. They should fire LA manager. What a joke. Too passive, like the Sean Penn character in Fast Times at Ridgmont High.

If Deadpool is female, my name is Zsa Zsa Gabor. No chance.

That Sox fan should have never been interviewed on WGN. He should be ashamed of himself. Put Cub fans on.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:58 AM) I don't think many Sox fans are mad or upset about the Cubs play or their organization right now. If anything, most of us are envious of their competent leadership. It's just the fan stuff that gets under peoples' skin. I'm upset. Because our organization did nothing but stupid s*** as the Cubs were pathetic and rebuilding the right way. The Cub rebuild finally ended at a time the Sox suck.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:53 AM) Surprised the Sox twitter mentioned the Cubs. Not sure the upside of that. Sox are irrelevant. Doesn't matter what they tweet as long as it's not, "f*** the Cubs." Or "We Won One First." That'd be sour grapes. Other than that, we are irrelevant baby.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:39 AM) Truly think it means very little if they don't win it all Fathom. It can't be stopped. They are going to beat Cleveland. And just making the WS is huge in the history of sports. All those years ... Cubs finally in WS.

We're witnessing history, folks. This will never be forgotten in Chicago sports history and the history of baseball. Get ready to remember where you were when the Cubs won the pennant. No riots in Chicago. Hope all the old people in the stadium get home safely.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:32 AM) I LOVE good baseball. Many people I love like the Cubs. I want the cubs to win for them and I want the White Sox to follow them and rebuild their organization right. You don't like it, tough. I will continue to call you out for your petulance. Are you serious? He's not petulant. He's smart. f*** the Cubs. Fathom is consistent in his hatred of the Cubs and we all need to respect it!
