You should all be ashamed of yourselves...the fact that Mike Squires isn't mentioned once is a travesty, a sham, a mockery. It's a traveshamockery!

During a White Elephant Holiday Celebration a kid, of about 7 years of age (seriously, not me) was left with the one present on the table after all the picking and exchanging...a jug of windshield wiper fluid. That kid was not happy, although someone did switch him before he went home.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) It took the threat of the Nationals for Dombrowski to pony up, Sox need to find a new muse to work on Luhnow. That Joel Sherman tweet of "80% chance Sale goes to the Nationals" still rings in my ear. Depends how bad the Astros want him. Sox can just walk away and say, bidding is open or we're keeping him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) We had good pitching. That wasn't the problem. Maybe they are flipping one or more of them?

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 04:06 PM) Agreed let's hope we finish the Q deal tonight too lol. But don't count a Fraizer and Robertson deal to LA if they miss out on Turner and Their closer. We could get Bellinger Puig vertigo back as part of a package too. I hope Hahn is on the phone with the NYY, LAD and Marlins saying, hey, whichever one doesn't get Chapman or Jansen, we got Robertson. Come get him!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) Yeah but we have checks and balances. Good luck to him trying to do anything dastardly. The fact that he is trying is dastardly enough. And if you think it isn't and wait until it gets to the point of "doing something," then we are in big, fat trouble.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:15 AM) You know what is standing out to me in this interview?

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) LOL so true, Haugh is terrible on so many levels. I dont think its Abbatacola though, I bet they bring in someone from the outside that would be more of an attention grabber. The Score looks for that most of the time. I heard Dan McNeil is looking for a job... /green

So, not to be a jerk but, who do you think will replace Boers? Abbatacola? Holmes? Rozner? Haugh?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) https://www.yahoo.com/news/op-ed-democrats-...-144905697.html I promise all Republicans will enjoy reading this...and all Democrats have to admit there's at least some truth as well. A deal is just that, a deal. Gotta see what comes of it since they are still losing 1000 jobs to Mexico. Who's jobs are going there? IF they are majority blue collar manufacturing jobs, those stories will get spread through the unions quicker than 15 minute breaks.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) LOL. Draining the swamp. Amazing how many people got suckered by this con man. via Hey man, he just said he was going to drain it. No one asked what he was going to fill it with.... /green

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 30, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) With all the tweets and gotcha moments in the campaign, isn't it obvious the public is fighting back against PC? We just elected a person who offended almost everybody imaginable on social media. People are sick of the PC stuff. Again, Trump offended everybody and the country elected him president yet we're just waiting for the next 'gotcha' tweet posting. Well, there's PC and there's racist, sexist, xenophobic, etc. Mr. Trump leaned toward the latter.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 29, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) The question is does he know that he does not have that control ? there are still a lot of questions yet to be answered

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 29, 2016 -> 10:32 AM) I mean, with that statement we are saying flag burning is worse than about every other crime including serial killing. Because those people still keep their citizenship. Don't try to get into the mind of Trump...your brain will go all Scanners on you.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) Holy crap. I wonder what the story is there? I think it's the same as Tallon being kicked upstairs. They wanted to go the more analytical route and Gallant (and Tallon) are more old-school eye test guys.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 10:15 AM) What's with the sanitized "alt-right" label? Why don't we just call them what they are, neo-nazis? Because if you do that, you are insulting them. Jeez, you're a liberal, you should be PC! /green

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 20, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) Health care lol. I should cry instead of laugh. So I get my statement today. I had the blood tests for cholesterol and all the things they check. The lab charged 550 bucks. Somehow my insurance covered all but 8 bucks. But cmon, folks. Checking blood is a 50 dollar job. Not 550. My gawd. It's all a scam. I had shoulder surgery in February, followed by 4 months of physical therapy. Got one of the bills and they charged $40 for ice. $40! It was covered, so I didn't bother fighting it, but I asked my therapist why they charge just to ice my shoulder. What she explained was, the insurance companies refuse to pay or "negotiate" down the price so much that places have to find ways to charge to make the money they should be making. So, as someone said before, health insurance shouldn't have been for profit to begin with. Don't blame the lab for trying to get their employees paid. Blame the insurance companies for colluding to only charge what they think it's worth.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 04:39 PM) It matters to a degree, sure. But we are still far and away the best military partner any of our allies have, we're still one of the best trade partners for a lot of these countries, and more to my point, it's not like these countries aren't themselves (1) being swept up in populist movements, (2) free of having made some embarrassing choices when it comes to their political leaders. But this is about trust. OK, we are the best military partner, but if you have a President who has stated he doesn't really care about civilian casualties, would you want them helping you? If your goods are being taxes to the hilt coming into the US, why wouldn't you do the same to the US? Of course, many countries have made embarrassing choices. But, those country's leader isn't considered the "Leader of the Free World." I'm sorry, but it matters.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 10:43 AM) Gotta give them credit, they sure do know how to fall in line. They're stuck in the swamp.
