QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 07:17 PM) “Chris, that’s not what I heard Director Comey say, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to, in my view, clarify,” Clinton responded. “Director Comey said that my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails.” I'm on my phone so I don't have a link but it's from an interview with Chris Wallace that's airing now Unless something new is revealed, the email thing is old news. No need to ask her about it. The FBI saved her on that issue and that's that. It'd be like asking her about Lewinsky and her husband's behavior there. Old news. Clintons survived both without a scar, as usual. Our country is in love with the Clintons no matter what they do. I wish I had the kind of money they have built up.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Garbage candidate for garbage people That's kind of a mean comment. I don't take offense to it but I've seen the "stop it" comment from mods before to posts such as that one. A lot of Trump supporters aren't garbage people; they desperately want(ed) something different. Lot of people are sick of politics and think (thought) he was the guy to change things, an outsider. Unfortunately the outsider appears to have a lot of bad qualities and it's the wrong outsider. Just as a lot of people want a woman to finally be president only the problem is she is also the wrong woman. Two horrific presidential candidates in 2016.

He sounds like Jerrod Dyson at worst; Willie Wilson at best. Sorry for the two KC Royals comparisons. Glad Duke is gonzo however. Well, this is the 'give up on a guy' deal by St. Louis. Obviously trading a second round draft pick for Zach Duke means they have given up on Tilson as a top prospect. It's a good trade for the Sox as Duke is no good and it's Tilson's final chance to blossom. Avi never blossomed, but maybe Tilson will.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:37 AM) We have our closer and rest of the team we need for 2017 El Rockin, I love your enthusiasm but this is flat out incorrect. Were u kidding?

I could see them trading Frazier (Saladino finishes year at 3B; Davidson takes over next year); Robertson, Avi, both catchers, and Shields. The key is to get as much as possible for Robertson, Frazier and Shields.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 12:17 AM) Trump is standing by him. Is he really? This Ailes guy sounds like the devil reincarnated; he sounds like Cosby. Despicable. Trump is supporting him? How in the hell is that even possible?

Robertson and Frazier to Boston should bring some decent prospects, no? I'm telling you, you don't really wanna trade Sale, Q, Rodon or Shields. If we had bad starting pitching and if we have BAD starting pitching next year, we might start losing 100 games regularly. Think about it.

One more thing. The fact Anderson's average and advanced stats are falling fast IMO is also on the coaches. Two walks or 3 walks in 180 plate appearances? Can't somebody give this guy some valuable pointers? Big Hurt even? Find Big Hurt and counsel him? Our hitting coach and our coaches in the minors couldn't work on his approach just a little? I love Anderson but he's gonna make it very hard on himself to put up any numbers at all with this approach of swinging at almost everything they throw up there. Coaches? Can you uh, help him a bit?

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:57 AM) Get some freakin' hitters!!! We coulda played 22 innings and you got the feeling no more runs were gonna be scored by Chicago. One was gonna be it. QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:57 AM) Geeze. Lose on HBP and 3 walks. Another embarrassment in a season full of them. That's like Little League, only worse. Plus it's against the Twins. How the hell did the Sox sweep the Cubs in the Cell? Easy. Once in a while we play like world beaters. I know the players reek, but the sheer inconsistency of this team and the many ways we've lost games in embarrassing fashion falls on the manager/coaches as well as the players.

My gosh does our team stink. So bad in so many areas. Bye bye Robin (after this year).

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:17 AM) Anderson's OPS is free falling. Hope he finishes the next two months strong Just a matter of time when you don't draw any walks. I was serious when he was hitting .290 to send him down the rest of the year to work on his eye. He had some highlights but clearly isn't ready. Can't draw a walk. He coulda been sent down and felt good about the .290 and worked on some stuff.

Our offense blows. All time worse since the mound was lower?

Nice. The Twins stink at bunting, too apparently without Gardy.

Nate's delivery is not conducive to a long career. And it's not conducive to good control.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 04:03 AM) Pinch hitting for Morneau? with Avi? Avi needs a change of scenery. Trade him to the NL.

Damn. Even Saladino can't hit with runners in scoring position.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 02:56 AM) No Abreu at 1B. Abreu should be a DH if he's still here. I'm a big fan of Saladino. Maybe Moncado can play RF or 3B. Trade Frazier.

Pathetic.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 02:53 AM) Looks like a superstar to me Good. He plays second; trade Lawrie. Saladino is the utility guy. Frazier, Anderson, Moncado and Abreu around the horn the next 5 years?

Is Moncada a guaranteed superstar? Our rotation takes a big hit with Sale gone. A big hit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 02:49 AM) Moncada removed from Portland's roster That must mean we got him. Bye Sale?

Another game we only have 1 run. That's three in a row. What a pathetic offensive team. Was Greg Walker really that bad in retrospect? We never blame our current hitting coach. I don't even know his name.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:28 PM) I am not going to throw the sexism card a lot because I don't want to preface it with "i'm not talking about you but these..." But if you listened to that speech and only pulled out that she's running as a woman, you are a sexist. Yeah but did you read that column I posted from cnbc? Specific blasting of her speech regarding her running only on Trump bad; Hillary good and the historic aspect of this. I watched it. I think she was yelling at me again like that one writer wrote.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) A lot of Americans are big fans of a messianic billionaire who inherited his wealth from his father, cultivates a facade as a playboy, has unresolvable psychological problems, and is obsessed with law and order and torture as a means to resolve the dystopian society around him. Batman is really cool. Hmmm, another critic saying Hillary whiffed on her message. She's only running on being a woman and "Trump is dangerous." http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/29/hillary-cli...commentary.html

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) HMMMMMMMM? I was told to "stop it" in regard to talking about Chelsea. Seems there is now hard evidence what I said could come to fruition. She has admitted to thinking about running.
