Chris Getz to take over player development
Just reaffirms the lack of reflection from the organization that anything needs to change, and it just seems like they are scared to hire proven talented professionals that may push back on their failed way of doing things. So we hire people who've only known them as authority figures.

Chris Getz to take over player development
Deep sigh. I don't mean to be prejudiced against Chris, but I have little regard for the performances in baseball operations so far from our former players

That's true. Lots of decent individual performances and then crap play by Hoyer and Tracy Porter falling to turf

Don't forget Durant! He sucks. Shoulda stayed in school. Carmelo Anthony? Awful shooter. Kyrie Irving? Can't hit a shot for his life.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 11:13 AM) That's not a very impressive list from 3 years ago if you consider what they were then. They were still very good and living hall of famers. The 07-10 classes mixed with longtime superstars in a league more talented than today. Being excited about today's young stars is counting the chickens before they hatched, and so far this hatching has not gone according to plan or has been devastated by injuries.

Price rising for Sale and Q
Good article White Sox Lifer. Not to discredit JBJ who is a great ballplayer, but it kind of scares me that it is he of all of the talent on the Red Sox that we covet, as he seems like the player we also fail with most. He will be 26? And coming off 1.5 seasons of .800 OPS ball out of CF, but still terrified he'd show up as the light hitting CF of his rookie year as Soon as he would switch colors. Meanwhile Benintendi seems like exactly the type of successful player that we've avoided to our detriment, at least until this past draft.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) Towns, Porzingis, greek freak, etc. The talent level is higher than it's ever been. I'm normally with you, but Towns/Davis are the only ones who are true top ten or close players. Greek freak is a nice player, and porzingis faded big time. He will need to prove year two. But from three years ago when heat broke up we've lost bosh Duncan wade (pretty much) Garnett pierce Rose Howard Bryant and Ginobli with Parker not what he was We've seen Curry Thompson David Irving and KAT take a leap, but others like Wall/Beal have been pretty inconsistent and Wiggins still pretty good but not a top 25 player.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 10:22 AM) What a time to be alive if you're an nba fan (bulls fan not so much). Eh they gotta prove it. That 14 draft has to step up. Lots of longtime stars exited stage right. Aside from curry and Davis doesn't seem like we've really replenished compared to like '10-14 where the amount of top players young and old was best of my lifetime

2016 Democratic Thread
Hypothetical if Clinton wins: (Dang it I lost the image. Image going around of paul Ryan warning of Bernie sanders budget committee chair) Obama really hurt himself by moving a lot of popular dems in senate and gov roles to admin. I think it's a no brainer to keep warren Murray and sanders in senate in powerful leadership roles. But that does mean you will see a lot of retread clintonistas in admin roles. Having seen how much dems got killed on replacement seats just want to preemptively say that while I may hate some of the choices (like Summers is gonna make an appearance again isn't he?) I prefer it to losing senate/gov talent.

MCW presumably adds defense? Bulls have acquired a lot of 3 and no D guys and so their perimeter is Swiss cheese. And then you get to our interior and also not very good.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 12:49 AM) These email leaks really aren't contributing much of value, just a lot of noise. Mass dumps of irrelevant information without context is the opposite of how you'd want to reveal useful information. People have all lost their sense of what is news, including media organizations. Two dumbass headlines I've seen in the past 10 minutes: "New York Times contacted Clinton before writing stories about her" "Emails reveal highly scripted nature of a presidential campaign" The first one is basic journalistic ethics! (Granted it was an Infowars guy I saw tweeting this but still." They also contacted Trump before writing stories about his sexual assault allegations. Bias. The second one... ummm no s***? The Patriots offense is also very rehearsed and the coaches do a lot of advance preparation. But many people are actually reading into all this nonsense. Hack bmags says for a candidate people say is shady and untransparent we now have more private information about her and her staff than any candidate ever and...it's all stuff you could have gathered from her public speeches and persona. But it's salacious because it was SECRET (I.e. personal) communications!

2016 Presidential Election Thread
QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) I got my ballot today and I always manually research the judges - they are supposed to be non-political so it's hard since I'm not in lawyer circles locally. But since the other two voting-age people in my house use my ballot to vote, and my vote pretty much counts like it's 3 votes, I make sure it's right. The ballots are pretty long in presidential years. I basically end up relying on trib voter guide, so it's outsourced regardless

yeah it's ridiculous. And you can only ever really know about them if they do something really wrong. Would love if judges and positions like that were removed from voting
