QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 08:15 PM) Obama is letting off some steam right now I like Obama personally, stemming from his love of the Sox and all things Chicago, but I wish he hadn't been such a lousy President. Whether fair or not, I'll remember his 8 years as totally ruining the economy for the little guy (all companies have downsized; there are no jobs out there that pay squat) and increase of terrorism in America, the movie theatre killings, the TV reporter getting killed on the air, the school shootings and Orlando disaster etc. Again don't get me wrong. Love him personally and would love to meet him/shake his hand and say, "Go WHITE SOX" to him. But he should do the right thing and blast the FBI director and he won't.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) I am about 95% sure that is a bottom of the financial barrel sales job, FWIW. The interview will probably revolve around questions related to how social and public you are, as well as how willing you are to work tireless hours and be told no at 99.9% of the turns. Has the insurance business changed at all? Is it still them hiring somebody who is encouraged to get a huge list of all their friends and try to sell them insurance? Is that how insurance still is sold?

Didn't realize Millenials were THIS bad in the workplace? Anybody agree or disagree with this millenial's story? Ouch http://nypost.com/2016/07/04/im-a-millenni...neration-sucks/

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) He really should just resign. A disgrace of a lawman. We have officially reached 2 levels of laws, one for us, one for politicians. This is a Hall of Fame post in Soxtalk history. Said it simply, but truthfully.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) He really should just resign. A disgrace of a lawman. We have officially reached 2 levels of laws, one for us, one for politicians. The public should demand his firing immediately. The president would overrule it however. He should resign. He laid down his sportscoat for Hillary to walk over the messy pond. FBI ... today you are the laughingstock of a great nation that day by day is losing its "great nation" status because of elitism. s*** people are worried about Trump getting so much power he could be a Hitler, f*** Hillary has the FBI in her corner. What about concerns of her upcoming power??? She's the one potentially with unabashed power. Nobody will touch her not even the feds.

Today is one of the worst days in modern American history (excluding violence and deaths, of course). During a time in history in which Americans are sick of politicians and their bulls***, the FBI acknowledges inappropriate activity by Hillary yet recommends no charges. Just a few days after the attorney general visits with Bill Clinton on a fricking tarmac of all places. Oh my gosh, what has this country come to?? At least the NY Post says it all. FBI's double standard here is outrageous, the paper reports! I am ashamed of America today. If Americans are dumb enough to actually vote for this person, I don't know what to say. Wait I do know what to say. Just as Kansans voted in Brownback for a second term despite his actually being even a worse government official than Hillary, a majority of Americans will actually vote for this woman. Unfricking believable. Where's the pride in our country?? Thanks FBI for one of the worst decisions of all time. It's not what you know, it's who you know, pepole and never ever forget it. And it's all about the elite and their privelege. Hillary should get good n drunk tonight. This FBI decision deserves the best wine money can buy. ... Inexplicably, some of the poorest Americans, the ones with the least in common with Hillary and what she believes in, are her most ardent supporters. Unreal. I'd ask America to do the right thing and have her stand trial on perjury charges in this email case, but those charges also would be thrown out by the corrupt government. http://nypost.com/2016/07/05/fbi-boss-outr...-hillary-skate/

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 4, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) Sox are up 6-2. Do they really need to use Jones 3 days in a row, 5/6? He's going to need a couple of days off now. Yes they had to use him. That lead was going to disappear.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 4, 2016 -> 09:58 PM) Yesterday Frazier took an outside pitch... and Hawk emphatically stated "I haven't seen him take an outside pitch like that in awhile... that's a great sign" Then in todays game Frazier said he had a bat last night where he saw the ball for the first time in awhile... and thought he was about to get hot. That's the kind of s*** that Hawk has that hardly anyone else does. Hawk is great. My only complaint is when he's crabby.

Anderson is great. Maybe he doesn't need to ever draw a walk and will be fine drawing one walk every couple weeks. GO ANDERSON!

I'd say Sale and maybe Robertson. The Sox bats prevented Q from making it. Some people still look at W/L record no matter what the Sabes people think.

Can we petition to get out of the AL Central? Sox are kings of all other divisions! Anderson is a breath of fresh air. Like you said, Nate Jones and Duke saved the day after Albers was looking like he was gonna get rocked. The bats have been pretty good of late. We actually score during the course of the game, not just one inning. Not gonna fall for it with team dysfunction, but this team is generally fun to watch when it gets out of the Central cept for abysmal Minnie.

Sox often are in trouble when the bullpen has to cover too many innings. Though this mess was caused by the error.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 4, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) Albers comes in and immediately gives up a double. I give Robin credit for yanking him after one batter. It was not going to be pretty.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 3, 2016 -> 12:49 PM) Meanwhile, the Sox are only a couple of games over .500 AT HOME. Royals have that crazy split, 10 games under .500 on the road and 16 games over at Kauffman. The other thing to take into consideration is just how bad CLE attendance has been....30th in the majors. Just wait until they start getting 25-30,000 more consistently, they'll be even harder to beat. Even when they've been at the bottom in attendance, they've really had an exceptional home record for most of the past 3-4 years. They get DET and NYY at home before the All-Star break. Their crowds, with CLE just having won the NBA, will really pick up in anticipation of an extended playoff and maybe World Series run. Royals are 10 games under .500 on the road yet 5-1 at the Cell. Fricking joke.

I hope we kick their ass and don't pull a Royals series and fix the Cubs ills. This is neat. The Cubs are acting human and right now it doesn't seem like it's automatic they make the WS.

No. Can I say hell no or is that negative?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 11:47 PM) I know wins don't matter, but damn, 14-2 looks pretty good It's funny how wins used to be THE stat that mattered. It's all people cared about, that W/L record. Now we're down to where most consider it a meaningless stat.

Guys it's become apparent we have a contending ballclub cept for one little thing, problems with every other team in the Central not named Minnesota. Sox deserve credit for their overall body of work outside of games against KC, Cleveland and Detroit. Problem is we gotta play them all a buttload of times the rest of the way meaning we're going nowhere. Nice win today.

Very happy for Quintana. That says it all IMO.

I hate to let everybody in on a secret but right now Sale is MVP of the league. He's 14-2 and the Sox are .500. WIthout him the Sox are total crap. That's the definition of most VALUABLE player, folks. He is the difference between average team and horses***.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jul 3, 2016 -> 04:45 AM) Live example. Got 3 comp tickets to the Kane county Cougars game on Friday night. Paid the $5 for parking. Spent $5 in the kids zone. Bought a snow cone for the kid and the wife got a churro. Total amount spent was $20. Daughter caught a foul ball, her first ever. Fixed costs vs variable costs. The Cougars got $20 from me and it didn't cost them anything to do it. Yes and you could have easily spent a lot more than that. You didn't buy any food/drink for yourself. No beers. No Cokes for anybody.

I can be stupid but why is that anti Semetic. The star has six sides? Is he simply claiming a bad artist?

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 06:43 PM) Sox sell tickets at $7 almost every game except Sunday's, where they have $5 tickets. That's very smart marketing. The possibility of a Sox sellout is limited to games versus the Cubs. No other games will ever be sold out, except playoff games. So when you are certain there will be no more than 23,000 on hand like most games, why not market the hell out of the fact you can go to a game for 5 or 7 bucks a head. Fill as many of the nosebleed seats as you can and those folks will be paying for parking still and probably buying lotsa goods for the family once in the stadium. It's a win/win situation. I'd definitely try to get the word out about the 5 dollar tickets. So much cheaper than a movie.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) You seem to forget that the President is elected to a four year term. Obviously I'm assuming the Democratic candidate's second term is assured. The map of Democratic and Republican states won't ever fluctuate much and an incumbent like Hillary is assured both terms.
