I want to extend a giant f*** you to anyone who thinks their social agenda is bigger than standing during the anthem on 9/11. Specifically calling out the following pieces of s***: Arian foster, Jelani Jenkins, Kenny Stills, and Michael Thomas. Will never, ever root for you or the Dolphins organization in my life This is the filibuster DAAA84. My guess is you can say whatever you want in here. Bless you for your stance. You are my new idol along with El Rockin.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 09:06 PM) After watching this ineptitude against Ian Kennedy, trade all of them. Denny Matthews the Royals' Hall of Fame announcer pointed out what we all know today in the broadcast. He said the White Sox have some decent ballplayers but something isn't working. He said they need to "shake things up" this offseason, maybe trade Sale. He didn't mention getting rid of Robin, but the shake up needs to start the day after the season. Tell Robin he's gone, so he can get another job somewhere. Then start planning a series of trades.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 10:14 PM) Came down to the same players as last night. Two in and one out an Davis gets Abreu and Morneau again. TRADE EVERYBODY It's not often El Rockin loses his cool regarding our Sox. Hope we negative people haven't corrupted you, El Rockin. Your positivity inspires me. Anyhow, I do think we should trade a lot of people, but I actually wouldn't mind keeping Morneau. He's been OK IMO. Not great, but OK.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 12:33 AM) http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/...nded/order/true Leading the majors with 28 blown saves. Cincy only has 22. Our bullpen has stunk ever since Joe Morgan said it was the best in baseball what, 3-4 seasons ago? He's a special adviser to the Reds. Our front office needs to invite him to town to take off the hex. Wine him and dine him and get him to admit the White Sox bullpen sucks.

Boy we stink. The Royals had lost something like six of nine entering the series and the Sox had been something like 13-6 at home. And we promptly lose 2 of 3. The Sox should be ashamed of their performance vs. KC and other Central teams but something tells me they are not ashamed. They drew enough fans this year and sold enough parking spaces to make a tidy profit I'm sure. And we've still got the WS banners from 2005 keeping everybody smiling.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) This whole "Hillary is sick" that the rightwing has been pushing lately just got real. Greg, please stop posting so much, for the love of God you make this thread unreadable with your sh*t posting. Sorry I had some links today about Hillary and Chelsea, etc., so I had to post more. I will try to stop. Maybe they could start a "I Despise Hillary" thread and "I despise Trump" thread to put all the posts in there. One spot and people won't have to read in the Democrat/Republican threads.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) so if we are going to talk about who is disrespecting me because I'm a veteran, I feel much more disrespected by you, if you fail to understand this and instead use me (to you, a faceless entity and not one of a diverse group of people) as a buffer for your own views. Stop patronizing me and pretending to be offended on my behalf. Besides, I didn't join the military so everybody can think, believe, and behave exactly how I want them to. That's fascism, and I'm not a fascist. Maybe you are, if you thought that's what it was about. With due respect, I have heard some veterans on the radio offended by Colin's sitting or kneeling during the anthem. I respect your stance, but some military men and women take the anthem very seriously do they not? And I respect you for being a military person. I'm not trying to patronize you but I know some military people like my uncle or dad who woulda wanted to slap me if I disrespected the anthem.

QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) I can't stand the GOP, but the videos today scare me a little. Something is off. Yeah, she's definitely got something going on, folks. Dr. Drew takes a lot of guff, but he must know what he's talking about. He knew she was in poor health.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) Yrp. I am sure the medical staff didn't clear him, but to in doesn't care. Why is every player supposed to be treated like a p****? Treat hm like thy are made of glass, an they will be. Guys have o be able to play tired and in pain. True, but our team has been out of the race for so long it's normal to suggest giving him a day off when he has a problem the night before and looks gassed.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) You don't really care about the military. Dad: Military; Favorite uncle: Military. Cousin: Military. All three: Would slap me or disown me if I did what Colin did. Cops: Think of all the cops who were heroes on 9-11. Yes there are bad apples. But almost all professions have bad apples. I am Catholic and love my Franciscan priests, but how bout all those priests who did unspeakable terrible things? How bout Boy Scout leaders and teachers who do bad things? How bout cemetary workers who do bad things? How bout doctors and folks in charge of old folks homes who have done bad things? The world is full of bad people in every profession but also good people. Colin could have gotten criticized a lot more for what he did. Remember poor Gabby Douglas? For some reason people blasted her more for being one of five gymnasts to not put her hand over her heart than Colin who slapped the military in the face on purpose.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) Attack Mexican-Americans and attract attention to yourself -- gain votes in primary. Attack Muslims and attract attention to yourself -- gain votes in primary Attack Blacks and attract attention to yourself -- gain votes in primary. Attack people with disabilities and attract attention to yourself -- gain votes in primary. Attack white people and attract attention to yourself -- "it's about the most selfish thing he could do to a team, thrust all the attention on himself. Disgraceful." Well, I don't know what to say. I haven't used this much in my arguments, but Colin's behavior is hard to take seriously when he had those socks calling police pigs. Almost all NFL coaches have that "one for all" attitude and I don't see how Colin saying "look at me" can help any team cause. I hate the cliches but I imagine his coach is pissed beyond belief with one guy going off on his own like that. Do it in the offseason if you have to do it at all. Besides, he did offend the military. A lot of military have died protecting freedom. Those military members treat the anthem with utmost respect.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 02:14 PM) Hillary should have stayed in the shadows. What a moronic comment to make. You may not agree with someone's views but it's America, and if someone wants to be "deplorable" that's their prerogative. She should like you say, but can't stay in the shadows forever. My guess is she started believing her press clippings, that she is the runaway winner over this buffoon/evil man Trump and finally relaxed a bit by making herself media accessible last week and in that relaxed state her real personality came out. She is not a saint, folks, she is a very rich, entitled person with a very big ego.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 05:04 PM) Why laugh when those 2 articles suggest Chelsea might run? Why laugh when we know we're more apt to elect Democrats than Republicans to the oval office? Why laugh when we're in a day and age you don't have to have any political experience to run? Why laugh when Chelsea seems to (finally) be enjoying being in the public eye and hearing her own voice in interviews? Finally why laugh when a large segment of Americans think it's the Clinton's duty/right to serve as President?

I don't know if Americans care or not, but Hillary's health seems to be something worth discussing. I wish Hillary and everyone good health. I despise her but I don't want her to be in poor health. She had some kind of issue today for sure.

Well, the Sox have helped turn KC's season around 3-4 times this year already. KC winning 2 of 3 would probably classify as doing that again. I think KC had lost six of nine before the Sox bullpen blew yesterday's game again.

The Sox could use a serviceable bullpen for once. Do you realize they've blown leads late in almost all the losses to KC this year? Beck yesterday just got hammered by a stumbling KC team. Until the Sox get some bullpen guys who can get people out and/or starters who can pitch into the 8th you are looking at this trainwreck of a team. The defense did seem a little better this year.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 12:32 AM) Saladino is not an upgrade on Lawrie. More of a lateral move. And you're probably not getting major league ready talent back for Lawrie or Frazier so how exactly does that help us next year? Starting an unproven question mark at catcher is also a bad idea for a team that intends on contending. If this team actually plans on contending I don't want another year of relying on maybes and probably nots. Our lineup is far from good for next year. But please stop. Lawrie must go. Saladino must stay. Trade Lawrie along with several other guys like Avi, Melky.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 01:48 AM) Over an entire season I don't see him as being an upgrade over Lawrie yet. But he is a nice player to have. It's really too bad he can't play the outfield to be used as a super sub kind of like Jurickson Profar. OMG. Lawrie is a joke. Get rid of him and give the job to Saladino. Can't you people see he can hit???? QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 02:14 AM) Greg, he's a 746 career ops guy in the minors and still just 663 for the Sox. He could be a 725ish guy (like now, playing against the most favorable matchups) but it's a crapshoot. Anderson does seem to play well with him, but I wouldn't depend on him and then envision that as a playoff team. He's perfectly suited as a super-utility player on a much better team. Utility player? Please. At some point don't you guys trust your EYES? He is a fricking stud and a team player. You watch him when he gets on base? You watch him LEAD? I'm just sick the Sox will never make him a regular.

OMG, many of you have screamed at me and told me to stop mentioning Chelsea for the Presidency. Hmmm ... Greg isn't as fricking dumb as you think. Now it's on CNN!! She will not discount her political aspirations and already has Bill's support. Great. ... http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/...r-the-long-run/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/...nancy-president 16 straight years of Clinton rule, folks. Let's hope the Clintons know what they are doing.

How can you support this person for President? She agrees to be accessible one week and offends millions of people. Hopefully Hillary's insulting all these people will cost her dearly in the polls. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/10/politics/hil...s-donald-trump/

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) Nah, we should just keep pretending nothing is wrong. That only allowed NK to obtain and test nuclear materials. No harm there. Great post! We have to do something big. Rodman's buddy is VERY dangerous, folks. He will lob a nuke at somebody at some time, you can bet on it.

LOL. I do a google search on Chelsea and get this predictable story. The women of the View helping Hillary out with softball questions to Chelsea. What they did to McCain that one year was criminal, Whoopi asking him if she had to worry about being a slave again if he wins. Thank goodness I don't watch the View. I just betcha they asked her about her own presidential aspirations. Hell, why not make sure Hillary gets 8 years then Chelsea eight more. For the life of me I do not know why Whoopi thinks Hillary fricking Clinton is the answer to problems of African Americans. A rich elitist and black America just worships her. http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-gr...and-trustworthy

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 01:34 AM) I'm all in on Saladino at 2B next season. He's just a smart,sound MLB player and the Sox shouldn't waste him letting him rot on the bench as utility next year. Sox are too dumb to play Saladino regularly. Anybody with half a brain can see he is an everyday player and a fricking stud. He plays the game the right way, always encouraging teammates, bashing the f***ing baseball all over the park. Get rid of Lawrie now!!! Saladino is the man; Lawrie is NOT! Again ... Sox are too stupid to play Saladino. It's their loss.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) She said half of his supporters. To imply that many Americans are irredeemable is a pretty toxic statement from someone running for President. Apparently she agrees because she is already trying to walk it back. No doubt this is gonna hurt her in the polls, she didnt need this. She's elitist for sure. I'm shocked people can't figure this out. Her popularity is baffling. She's not out to help anybody not named Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and I'm sorry her son in law's name escapes me and her grandkid's name escapes me. Aside from those five, forget about it.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 30, 2016 -> 06:58 PM) Someone do doesn't want to pay $12-15M AAV for the likes of Brett Anderson, Clay Bucholz, Andrew Cashner, Jeremy Hellickson, Derek Holland, Rich Hill, etc. Shields will be tough to move, but if the Sox are willing to give him away (I suspect they will be), I bet he could be moved including much cash. $10M AAV is below the going rate for a back rotation innings eater. Inning eater? LOL. Yeah if you pitch him six he'll give up seven (runs).
