It said: "President Obama's approval rating stands at 49/48, the first time we've had him with a positive approval spread in a considerable amount of time." Well, well, I've pointed out in the past mysteriously Obama is beloved near election time. That's when the media returns to its roots and makes sure everybody loves the Democrats. Now shortly after election they might have some negative crap on Obama, or off an on the first 2-3 years there's some negative stuff, but when it's time to elect another Democratic president, you better believe people start saying how great Obama is and how his approval rating has skyrocketed.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 13, 2016 -> 05:48 PM) I'm still in utter disbelief that Trump is the Republican nominee. Does the GOP even f***ing care about their brand anymore? I could say the same about Hillary if and when she gets indicted. I mean trust me, where there's smoke oh there indeed is fire with her. I'm hoping she gets indicted before the election but she could get it after the election too.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 13, 2016 -> 07:32 AM) Greg, it's never gonna get through to you. p.s. Did you know that not only is one person not representative of all transgendered people, but if you look past Clay Travis at Fox Sports you'll know that her rep shot this down as BS I'll make u the same bet offer. A beef sandwich at the Cell and a Big Hurt beer or Coke on it. Jenner will admit he's made a mistake within a year of right now is the bet. By next mid May he's saying he wants to be a guy.

Anybody know if this is a legitimate Website or some kid in his basement? Says Hillary has accepted a lot of money from questionable sources. http://www.investors.com/politics/editoria...n-gulf-leaders/

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 12, 2016 -> 08:54 PM) I make them frisk me every time. I was cool with the metal detectors but the x-ray machines are bulls***. That is awesome! I despise going through the lines. Do they become upset with you when you refuse to get in the machine?

The government of North Carolina says it's a common sense issue and I agree. If you got the male body part you should go to the male rest room. Why is this such a big deal? p.s. Did you see there are reports Kaitlyn Jenner is miserable and now is thinking about becoming a man again?

In case anybody else doesn't like Hillary, this is pretty funny from Dennis Miller this year and a few years ago too.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 12, 2016 -> 01:56 AM) Fer realz. George Carlin really was an island in a sea of non-intelligent humor in his day. I saw him in concert in Vegas and was f***ing amazed. Brilliant man. Funny as well. Many in the audience were leaving as he buried everybody in his show. He was my idol.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 11, 2016 -> 11:40 PM) How about in a subway then. can I take my 5 year old niece into the mens room? Sure. Those bathrooms will have a lock on the door. Small. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2016 -> 06:58 AM) Greg, do you by any chance watch the tv show SHAMELESS? What's your opinion on the Gallaghers, compared to the people you grew up with? I think being too immersed in conservative Kansas/Johnson County-ism is getting to you...also, have you ever gone to a meeting of THE MAINSTREAM COALITION in KC? No on both questions.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 12, 2016 -> 06:06 AM) Hasn't your whole argument been everyone in the media loves Hillary, and no one gives any attention to Bernie? In this post, your saying Bernie should drop out, and link to a story from the NY Post talking about how Hillary is crumbling. Do you see the contradiction???? Pick a lane. I didn't read the article I just saw the headline so far.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 12, 2016 -> 12:18 AM) I actually think Greg would be fine, while I think he can be extremely naive I don't think Greg is a bad person. Thanks. Whenever I get nailed to the wall on these social issues I keep thinking about the beer guzzling south siders where I grew up in Mt. Greenwood who would think I am the liberal bastard. I'm sure those guys who swill a 12 pack every night on our block would not refuse to go in the subway when some guy dressed in complete drag was walking ahead of them in line. I'm sorry that I wasn't into the sight of that person. I still had time to reverse my steps and go eat somewhere else. It doesn't mean I'm a hater. I love gay people. I love all people.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 11, 2016 -> 10:47 PM) You're welcome. Or will this be ignored by you as well? If that's true he should drop out. Did you see the NY Post headline BTW? Stop The Coronation? Weird timing if she's won. http://nypost.com/2016/05/10/hillary-clint...veling-quickly/

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2016 -> 11:12 PM) Yeah, this comment adds a lot. I WILL SPELL IT OUT SPECIFICALLY...ANY GAME IN TEXAS PAUSE PAUSE PAUSE BREAK BREAK BREAK and ANY GAME DURING THE SUMMERTIME AT WRIGLEY WHEN THE WIND IS BLOWING OUT. If you're a Chicagoan and don't know when the weather is conducive to 13-11 games in the summertime and you're strictly going by the calendar, I'm not sure how I can help you to understand. Apparently everyone else has a heckuva lot more faith in Carroll than I do. Ventura flat out made decisions that didn't put his team in the best position to win these last two games. Players WIN games...Frazier did it on Monday. But if you consistently make better decisions as a manager and put your players in the right place at the right time, then you will most likely have better results. I was definitely worried when I saw Carroll in the game. I thought, "This team can't blow a 5 run lead like they would in the past with Carroll." Carroll completely blows and should never ever pitch for the Sox again. Yes it was a huge mistake to use him last night.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 11, 2016 -> 11:08 PM) I suggest he start earning it. He seemed like a different guy til the last two games. Stuff happens. Today would have been a great day for a rainout. You just knew they'd lose after Tuesday night's debacle.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ May 11, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) Single dad brings 6 year old daughter into the men's room at a Sox game. Is that a problem? No. I don't know how the modern protective dad feels about that one, though, but obviously 6 is too young to go into the ladies room alone. I would guess you just get in line by the stalls. It can't be the most comfortable situation in the world, but I don't get to go to a lot of games.

Texas brings the Sox bullpen back to earth. Fathom said it best. Sox should have swept that series and stayed red hot. Robin looks human when the players don't produce.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 11, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) So they really dont need protecting in this situation? Well, in this situation at least there is a scenario in which there could be inappropriate behavior (little girl could see a male body part in the women's room; kind of scary for the little kid). Most of the protection of little Johnny and Jane in society are situations in where there is no situation set up for inappropriate behavior, just the parents coddling their little preciouses.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ May 11, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) Greg - if the Sox were 20 games behind the Royals last year with 18 games to play, and then won 18 straight games against the Royals (because for some reason they were playing each other 18 times in a row), they would still finish behind the Royals right? That's basically what's happening here. Sanders is winning a lot of states, but he's so far behind already that he doesn't have a real chance at the nomination. I'm not sure why you are struggling with this concept... Rarely does the ongoing process get ignored when there is still a mathematical chance, especially with the momentum he has. In your scenario the Sox could not win.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 11, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) What is it that they need protecting from? 90 percent of the time the parents are "protecting" little Johnny and Jane they don't need protecting from anything.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ May 11, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) Hold on. You were so disgusted that you wouldn't stand in line for a sandwich, but you would not problem taking a leak next to the guy? Also, Greg, you still haven't described how you would police this. Do you want women with short hair and basketball shorts subjected to what happened in the link below? Do you want someone checking genitalia before people enter restrooms? http://jezebel.com/helpful-man-patrols-tex...your-1773882994 Yeah I'd take a leak next to the guy because he's using the bathroom, IMO the right bathroom. I happen to be in the bathroom at the same time, yes I'd use it. ... I told you I wasn't proud of myself for not wanting to eat after seeing the guy in a dress and high high heels waddle up to the door of Subway ahead of me. But at that time my human weaknesses hit and I wasn't particularly hungry as I found him unattractive to the eye. As far as policing it, if a guy is wearing women's clothes I'd expect him to have the decency to use the men's room if he has his male body part.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Greg, just so we are clear here: If a man with a penis identifies himself as a woman and is dressed as a woman, technically he/she should piss next to you at the urinal, correct? Or would you hold it and use a different bathroom? I thought I was clear on that. Yes he should be next to me in the men's room. No, I wouldn't walk out. I'd even have respect for the guy doing it in what I feel is the right way. I have admitted I didn't go in the Subway to eat when the person dressed in heels and a dress who was obviously a man that I did not find attractive was walking strides ahead of me. Note I did not yell at him or hit him or scream at him, I just chose to not go in the restaurant and eat at that time. Again, if that makes me the worst person ever, sorry to the universe. I must need counseling or something to become a better person. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:51 PM) i have asked him multiple times and he has yet to answer. It all goes back to OMG THERE IS A PENIS IN THE WOMENS ROOM. I wonder if he feels a woman transitioning to a man should have to tell everyone about the female parts before taking a pee? We just need to make a Customs-like kiosk in front of every bathroom in the united states, where everyone has to declare what is in their pants. I thought it was clear. I want the person with a male body part using the men's room. If that makes me an ogre, sorry. I am a little surprised the parents in this country who protected little Johnny and Jane from everything imaginable in this day and age aren't on my side in this one.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:26 PM) I'm very serious in this comment. I don't have time for the woe is me of Sanders supporters. You don't have time for uh, fairness? The man is the first underdog in memory to be scratching, clawing (for votes) and WINNING an awful lot of the time and discarded to the curb (via the media) like he's Howard Stern running for office or something. This is not a joke, folks; Bernie fever should be catching but the Chris Matthews' of the world are shilling so badly for Hillary and getting away with it.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2016 -> 08:29 AM) As far as the delegate race, if Bernie was within 100 of Hilary's lead (not counting the superdelegates), he'd have a point....but coming into last night it was closer to 300. Yes, but supposedly America loves a good underdog story. America loves a close horse-race. Cept when it involves the beloved Clinton family (by media). Bernie wins .... yet he loses (on TV with pundits) time and time and time again. Nothing to see here folks. Bernie has no chance!!! (as he receives the winners trophy; not a participation trophy AGAIN, this time in W. Va.) QUOTE (bmags @ May 11, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) Bernie's main reason to stay in race is same as clintons was in 08, a desire to let all of his supporters cast their vote for him. He'll drop out after california. They do deserve that, he was a strong candidate, with high enthusiasm levels. Yeah, Bernie isn't getting a kick out of ... WINNING. The old man's "main reason" for staying in race is to be nice to his supporters. How condescending. Bernie is blazing in case you haven't noticed (albeit it's hard to notice cause of media). QUOTE (bmags @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:59 PM) But I'm sure it's because the 10 octogenarians that watch cable news didn't get fair coverage for Bernie. What? I didn't know cable news was failing with any age group but octo's. You hear about it an awful lot for it being watched by ... nobody? I don't watch it live; I watch the replays after Bernie wins to see if they give his victory a fair shake, then turn it off after 10 minutes, upon checking each channel and hearing them mock him. QUOTE (bmags @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) Clinton is smart, experienced, and committed to actually governing the country. This is what confounds me. You believe that?? Sir ... Clinton is not what you say. She is actually rich, well connected and committed to her place in history, not actually governing the country. That's kind of a sidelight to accomplishing the former. Her ego is bigger than the sun. You actually described Bernie WAY more than Hillary.

More on political correctness crap. George Carlin, then Dennis Miller/Bill Maher. Nice. "They are pampered little pricks," is how Maher referred to college kids. "Who did not slap these little assholes when they were young." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkhUivqzWv0

After tonight's debacle I agree he should be judged after this season.
