Kevin Maitan and others
Is Maitan part of the union now? I would be pretty pissed. I don't think much punishment should come down on a 16 year old kid being swept up in that whirlwind. He should just be a free agent.

White Sox in the market for a catcher
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 10:21 AM) Next question on the list - could we get anything of value for either of our catchers if we traded them to someone to be a backup? Depends how you define value. Both have options I believe and no reason to get rid of prior to needing a spot in AAA for Collins or Zevala.

2017 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 10:20 AM) That group is....bad. That's like 2016 Republican bench bad. It's what happens when there's a run on governorships and state legislatures. That said, you have no idea who ends up being a good candidate until they run. Scott Walker and Rubio looked like slam dunks for republicans. Rick Perry and texas' success seemed tailor made.

I would. I don't think that would be a particularly hard contract to get rid of.

White Sox in the market for a catcher
Lucroy though went from one of the best framing catchers in the league to one of the worst. But, if he has a rep for handling pitching staff well then I'm okay with that too. Still really like my stupid idea for caleb joseph, but he's also like the perfect backup catcher as you bring up Sisco.

2017-18 official NBA discussion thread
I agree with DA. I don't really think the Bulls just saying "wellp, you are both still on the team, work it out" is enough. It is a physical game with lots of intensity, but there is a difference between pushes and punches. This is a bit stupid, but, when my brothers fought we would go hard but knew to never punch each other in the face. That's a line you don't cross even when defending yourself in these situations. But that said this issue is one thing but really it's the horrendous guard play I can't take. The bulls strength is definitely their bigs but their entire offense seems to be their guards trying to do pull up 3s early in the shot clock.

The Sexual Assault problem
If this is going to be something more than just a blip, like after Anita Hill, they need to truly get pushed out and not just apologize. He should resign.

The Sexual Assault problem
I'm very upset by Franken. I believed in his intellect and his claim to carrying on Wellstone's work. What a betrayal.

Can Illinois Survive?
Clearly cities need to just go up to houses people are living in and force them to upgrade.

I was under the impression handwriting experts were B.S. but I feel like the jinx used it a lot.

They probably saw Dan as more of a writer/reporter guy and following along with the pivot to video b.s.

Giancarlo Stanton traded to Yankees
QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 14, 2017 -> 03:47 PM) Makes sense if Stanton really doesn't want to go to Boston. Abreu is a good fit for Boston. I thought he was referring to Cards.

Giancarlo Stanton traded to Yankees
QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 14, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) Is that in response to Stanton or Abreu? Because Stanton is a good defensive player. Wow, I always assumed since he was bigger he'd be a log out there. Did not know that, also can count on no hands the amount of marlins games I've watched last few years

The Sexual Assault problem
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 14, 2017 -> 02:32 PM) Supposedly Illinois government is a disaster with this as well. From what I understand the board that is supposed to be investigating claims hasn't had a leader in years, so they can't take any official actions and is up to about 3 dozen uninvestigated claims. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/p...1107-story.html https://player.fm/series/bga-watchdog-on-wb...on-of-marijuana I'm planning on grilling my senator on this in 2 weeks. It will again take extraordinary courage from the victims I'm guessing. I do not see the movement from the colleagues who likely know and could truly end this now.

That really hits you in the gut. Really gross stuff.

Giancarlo Stanton traded to Yankees
I'm totally confused by the proposed roster additions to the cards. Seems like they have an abundance of hit first/defensively ? players. They keep proposing more.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 04:28 PM) Pretty sure I called out Wikileaks for this last summer. If he used the password sent isn't that a crime? edit: asking b/c yr legal background, unrelated to your quote mostly
