The sox of the 90s really did well with the idea that liking the sox was a cool alternative thing to do. Now it's just - I feel like we are the Chicago Cardinals. A completely forgettable wasteland. We'd need to hire like Stone Cold Steve Austin to make us interesting.

It'll be the same f***in s***. Yeah. I also don't blame manager too much. But it's also because they aren't that big of a deal that I don't care if they are fired. If they provide some spark, great. If not, you probably didn't change anything. But it's a signal to me that they think they should have succeeded this year and are "close". Not that they have major issues and no real strategy to achieve anything.

My only hope is the Sox actually met, know they are parting ways, but agreed to let Robin be the one to own the terms of departure.

Only reaction:

BS that is so out of line.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 02:00 AM) Put in a claim on Jordan Howard, although taking any Bears offensive player seems kind of silly. Might be better than Crowell though. Howard is likely to be a featured back for 2-3 weeks, always valuable in a pinch.

Excellent frontline piece that I fell asleep halfway through is like, the most frontline review ever

More America in decline: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/se...ates-fall-again oh wait, that's a good thing here.

Is it really that odd for Colon to groove an 82 mph fastball at this point?

Ivanka is a joke.

Britton or Porcello would truly complete the worst cy young race of all time. What a joke.

I think about this post a lot. Again, I think the prevention of Trump is more important than anything, but I do think a lot will be helped by a Clinton presidency: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a6209...an-with-cancer/ This post has the Facebook post of a man who had cancer while uninsured. After some heroic effort by physicians to get him treatment on the cheap, the hospital sent him into collections. Hillary Clinton stepped in from there.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 08:34 AM) I don't really understand all the hand wringing over the Bears. The majority of their fans are either Cubs or Sox fans. The Cubs tanked for several years. There are many Sox fans who want the Sox to do the same. The media seems to be totally on board for that type of tear down. The Bears have dumped most of their high priced talent and older players, yet people can't deal with them losing. That said, it's brutal to watch at this point. Football is very different. Teams this devoid of talent can have trouble building because primes of players are so much shorter than baseball.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 08:57 AM) Things I don't know about Trump: what's in his tax documents Things I do know about Trump: what his wife's breasts look like and that he thinks he has a big dick Why do you need taxes then?

At what point do Bears question their medical staff and strength trainers? This is embarrassing.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Sep 27, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) Like... you're facetious here, but this is literally what someone could have tweeted me completely unironically. The stuff people write to you is insane.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 27, 2016 -> 03:28 PM) Local politics can be hilarious, one of my relatives holds a full time local office. Communist Party I'm guessing.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 27, 2016 -> 03:28 PM) Walter Burnett is a f***ing crook and I still cant believe he's in office (my west loop alderman). I asked the students what to vote and they somewhat convinced me to vote yes. I appealed my taxes and they went down almost 4k so I consider this an overall win. You liberal hack The process was a s*** show. There have been proposed numerous better options including a tournament sized boys (or girls) pool and a nonstandard girls pool. Cheaper, and does not require tearing down parking garage that town is still paying for. And, I hate parking garages. So it pains me. At one point in a pool meeting, one of the school board members said how much she wished the same amount of people would show up for reducing the achievement gap meetings, and how she was voting yes because students who have never achieved before learned how to swim. How that follows, I don't know.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 26, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) The stadium is much better equipped than wrigley and soldier field for a concert. Wrigley is abysmal for attending a concert. How so? I've been to soldier field, wasn't bad. Stadium sound is always bad.

I'm sorry for not criticizing Rose. I'm disgusted by him. One of out guards won't make it right? I don't like Canaan at all, but I guess his 3pt may get him in.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 27, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) One overwhelming feeling I've had about almost every elected official in an area I've lived in is that there should be someone better than this. Whaat, I loved my alderman. BTW I'm in OP now too. (what you voting on the pool man?)

I swear the way political parties are talked about here it's like they are a group of conquistadors that come to an area and set up shop, rather than a group of elected officials within the community.

Chicago's pension commitments are insane, it has killed the city. OTOH, every midwestern city saved Minneapolis has seen drastic decline in population from manufacturing loss. Chicago has fared pretty well comparitively, with its diversity with finance, manufacturing and other strong industries like advertising. I also sincerely believe the prohibitive housing policies in NYC and San Fran are going to make it difficult for tech companies to expand in those headquartered areas, and Chicago will be prime to take advantage. But it is failing its communities badly. It is a failure of leadership. The chicago and illinois democratic coalition is too broad. It has multiple competing groups that in no way should really be in same tent. Makes anything impossible because no side can win until all are happy. Chicago has failed black americans, and many others, but it's still a great city that can turn it around. However, Chicago is not the end all be all of black voters and democratic government. And my interpretation is if you think others aren't listening to your great ideas, probably time you stop and listen to them first. They may have actual reasons for what they do.

At what point do investors turn on Musk?
