There's an awful lot of smoke around Hillary. Oh I forgot, her popularity rises when we look into her. She's untouchable of course. BTW if you want some awesome political impressions/humor do a youtube search of Dana Carvey. He has some good stuff on Bill Clinton returning to the White House. It's pretty damn funny. There's Carvey on Fallon's Tonight Show recently and another clip of Carvey at a Comedy Shop with Jon Lovitz. I forget which one did the Bill back in the White House getting sex from Hillary and others. Very funny. I'm serious. Youtube it for laughs. And don't say "My god, Greg thinks Dana Carvey is funny; what a troll. What an idiot." You watch it and tell me you didn't laugh out loud as I did. Comic genius.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 06:43 AM) 1. I don't know why I'm going down this road 2. I don't even know why I'm in PHT to begin with, but.... You want a power bullpen and your first move is moving Danks to the pen? Just to face one lefty batter or two in a row.

Can you imagine having an infield of Olt or Beckham at 3B, Saladino at SS, Sanchez or Micah at second and Abreu at first? With all due respect to Abreu, that's by far the worst infield in baseball 2016 and one of the worst in Sox history.

Five people stabbed on a California campus. Horrifying. Not to be insensitive, but it was about time. Enough time had passed since the last atrocity. Tell your loved ones to be alert at all times. You never know when some nut is going to attack.

All of the Sox current options are worse than Alexei. Should be interesting.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 05:44 AM) i know it is a women on women comment. but look at the men running and in the past, like they were what, great beauties???? this is really shallow of them, i really don't care it the candidate, whomever it is, looks like the elephant man, if this person can run the country, lead this nation toward a better 4 yrs, who the f*** cares on what they look like. I agree it's crazy. I mean how dare those ladies on the View rip Florina's face like that. It's ridiculous. Like I said Whoopi and Joy are no beauty queens. They better apologize Friday. Nah they won't. BTW I love Dana Carvey's political humor

How insulting to Bud Black. He takes the job then hears he's been given a one year offer? My gawd. That's obscene.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 05:36 AM) Royals players decided to talk about how they didn't have a ROY, Cy Young or MVP but they're still awesome and beat them all. God they're assholes Quin, That was Gomes. He took control of the pep rally. I think he was drinkin. It was pretty funny more than anything.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 01:16 AM) I'm good with this pen as is. Only thing I'd do is add a power arm if possible. Sox need a power bullpen. Move Danks to the pen as the loogy. Robertson is an OK closer. Let Nate try to be the Sox version of Herrera until he fails, which I believe he will. Sox need gas in the bullpen. There's no reason to trot guys out there like Duke and Petricka and Webb who we know simply can't cut it.

What is going on in the great city of Chicago? It's a fricking war zone. http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20151102/au...y-officials-say

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 12:05 AM) My biggest reason is the Clinton Foundation has become a personal wealth vehicle (along with a plethora of well compensated speeches)...it's nothing close to pure charity, and, although you can certainly find fault with, for example, Gates' Foundation and mission of spreading MS gospel, it's still 50-75% closer to the mark. She's a rich, elitist, mean grandmother type. Replace mean with b----y person if you must. Can't believe she wants to be president at the age of 77 (second term). Crazy to me.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 11:40 PM) Actually demented is more about mental state of mind/bearing than physical appearance. Questioning her stability...and poise, not her worthiness to be selected for America's Next Top Model. The funny thing to me is that any woman who's even halfway or moderately attractive like Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter suddenly finds herelf a superstar in the GOP ranks. No, they made it clear they were referring to her face. The Halloween mask comment as well. Whoopi made it clear they meant she is hideous looking.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 11:58 PM) 21st in wRC+ amongst catchers with 300+ plate appearances. Dude is a bad hitter for the position too. But people on this board are hard to please. I was getting fried on this board for saying Salvy Perez was an outstanding catcher for the Royals.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 03:09 AM) I really am starting to wonder how many adults there are when 50% of the GOP is currently supporting candidates with basically no platform except "sticking it to the man" and not being politically correct but saying whatever first comes into one's mind without any filter or forethought. Of course, in this case, it's even more ironic because the man isn't "liberal Democrats" or hedge fund managers but the majority of the middle class who will suffer as a result from misguided policies. Do we really want someone like Trump or Carson or even Fiorina with the nuclear codes? Yes but who would you be comfortable with the nuclear codes? One person is always capable of using poor judgment. Trump's main goal in life is to be rich and enjoy life. He's not going to want a nuclear war and die a horrible death via nuclear war. I mean do you want Hilly with the codes? Any American is capable of going off the deep end. I'm still waiting for Hillary supporters to tell me why they support her? It's her name and the fact she's the first woman president. Cauflield that was a non-caulfield argument about Trump n Florina being in charge of the codes. Yes I'd rather have them be in charge than Hillary.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) Like i said, you are fine with just keeping it at "ripping someone for their looks is rude" and that's it. Because it is rude I'm pretty slow at times with a low IQ but I don't understand the point you are trying to make. This is about Whoopi and Joy Behar blasting Florina's looks (demented?) when they are not exactly perfect 10s.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) Well, the majority of the fan base likes Steverson for whatever reason, sooooo..... Yeah, it's all cliche in baseball. Nobody knows much about Steverson since he's not a former big league player thus they like him. In reality had our hitting coach been Walker they'd have run him out of town after last year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 05:37 AM) Ugh, Greg. You should have just left it at "making fun of her looks is rude" instead of basically saying "see she is ugly too, we should all acknowledge that she is also ugly" I actually have no opinion on her looks or Hilly's looks. I've not studied their facial features much. I personally think Florina is a failed CEO and seems like a person HR departments would love (corportate tool type). And everybody on here knows I despise Hillary.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 03:30 AM) So, am I the only one who thinks the players wearing goggles in the post game celebration is dumb looking? I imagine getting champagne in your eyes isn't a great feeling, but it seems like the lockerroom celebration is over orchestrated - not unlike the cutting down of the nets in the NCAA tourney. Is there any spontaneity allowed in sports anymore? I agree. The champagne celebration should not be done until winning the ALCS and NLCS and again after the WS. Why celebrate just making the playoff wild card game? Dumb. Also the goggles have to go and they should have raincoats available and helmets for all media members. They have a job to do not to have their clothes ruined several times per year.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 06:01 AM) Where was your clamoring for Granderson BEFORE the playoffs? Mr.Hindsight. BTW, Beckham is a FA and why would the Mets want Danks when they have more than enough pitching that is better than Danks? With all due respect, some of the veteran board members can back me up that I've been a Grandy guy in the past.

Wouldn't it be cool if Mr. Hahn altered about 70 percent of the entire Sox 2016 roster? 1B-Abreu. 2B-Zobrist. SS-new guy 3B - new guy LF - new guy CF - Eaton RF - new guy to platoon with Trayce. C - new guy P - Sale, Q, Rodon, new guy new guy. Bullpen - Robertson, new guy times nine. DH - new guy. Please give us a new ballclub, Mr. Hahn even if it has to be very young. p.s. Little surprised to see The Grandy Man is halfway thru a four-year deal that pays him 15 million a year. That's a lot of cash for the aging Grandyman, though I've always wanted him in a Sox uniform. We can't afford that so no reason for me to dream of a deal involving Grandy for Danks and Beckham and a Class A non-prospect prospect.

Forgive my passion. But even if you are not Republican you should probably be incensed over this story. The women on that ridiculous and popular TV show, The View, said Florina looked "demented" during the debate. They meant her LOOKS. Now these are the same women (Whoopi and Joy Behar aren't exactly easy on the eyes themselves) who blasted Trump for criticizing Florina's looks. WTF has come of this country? We are all so egotistical it's OK for us to say somebody looks demented -- the other host said her face should be used as a Haloween mask -- but not OK for Trump to do it?? I think it's disgusting that those witches on the View did that to Florina and I'm not even a Florina supporter. What about their beloved Hilly's looks for gosh sakes?? If you want to rate people's looks, it's not like Hilly comes in looking like some gorgeous model. Florina is going on the View Friday to confront the ladies of the View, who are so (w)itchy they will probably stand by their comments on how they think she is ugly. How rude. I mean Whoopi said to stand by the word "demented" so how's she going to back off this one? Obviously Whoop-ster thinks Florina is hideous looking. How she gonna get out of this one?? "Uh, Carly, I'm sorry, but the way you smiled during the debate, you just looked scary bad. Like demented." So in conclusion ... Florina ugly; Hillary attractive in a matronly type way (according to the View)

I guess they are assuming Gordon and Zobrist will leave. I don't think Gordon is leaving. There's no reason in the world for him to leave KC. At some point, the Royals have to reward one of the pieces that got them a championship. I know baseball is not for the fans anymore, but signing Gordon would be the feel-good move the Royals need to keep the emotional line moving. Zobrist, of course he will leave. He was the perfect addition midseason, however. Amazing acquisition along with Cueto. Moore should be executive of the year in all sports for his handling of this roster in 2015. How can they not give KC good odds for 2016?? They will win a horrific Central Division and once you get in the ALDS, you CAN win it all. Dayton Moore appears to have a good grasp of what they need to get there, and then during the season, what they need to acquire to go to the WS. He's no dummy. The key is starting pitching. Yes it's possible KC's starting pitching will be very very bad. At this point, I'd bet on Moore piecing together a decent rotation. Now if Ventura and Duffy are trash, yes, they could regress. But my money would be on KC easily winning the division (by 6-10 games) and then who the f*** knows?? But they should be considered a Final Four team for sure.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 07:33 AM) Bad defense sunk the Mets. That is all. Congrats KC! How can you blow 3 leads going into the 8th inning or later? I knew tonight the Mets were in trouble when Harvey was a whiny b**** after the eighth inning. Verlander does it all the time, so did Peavy and Shark. These pitchers want to stay in the game and many times it's a very very dumb decision. Tonight, Familia probably would have held the 2-0 lead. Maybe not. But he probably would have and they'd be flying to KC right now for Game Six with the weirdly inconsistent Cueto on the mound.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 07:35 AM) More like a 15 year plan. Problem is, for us, unless KC really screws it up somehow, they should be on top of the division at least 2 more seasons. Anything can happen once you win the division and get in the ALDS.

He said on the postgame, "I'm a Midwestern guy; you don't know how much I want to stay here." He'd be a complete and utter moron to leave a small town where he'll be forever immortal. He'd be a f***ing fool. 14 million a year to 18 million for five more years is ENOUGH to live on. If he goes to the East coast I won't feel sorry for him at all when he gets booed out of town as he fades.
