That something is right of left leaning isn't that important. Fox is can be very unscrupulous in its facts and blatant coordination with the republican party in a way that not even MSNBC is. There is no left equivelant of Sean Hannity touring and running around with Clinton. Not a Maddow. Not an anyone. But it's fine to be biased, it's less fine to be unscrupulous with facts. Reason magazine is a libertarian magazine with a lot of smart, honest writers. Daniel Larison is the same. If someone posted an article from Reason mag it would not get same reaction as Breitbart, because Breitbart peddles in ridiculousness and conspiracy theories and is very often incredibly wrong and it doesn't seem to matter. Same goes for NRO or Commentary, while they have some truly ridiculous editorials, they still are not level of breitbart or daily caller.

But Clinton isn't focusing on campaign contributions, there is a New York Times article out about Trumps campaign manager who was found on an off books ledger from the Pro-Russian head in Ukraine paying 12 million to Manafort. Aside from the numerous circumstantial questions about the pro-Russian policy that was the singular issue forced by Trump camp in the Republican Platform, Manafort may have broken law in not registering his lobbying for a foreign power. But overall, your campaign manager getting cash transfers from a pro-russian despot is bad. It's bad enough that he was a lobbyist for them, but to be caught in this makes it even worse.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) The Sox are not moving and the idea is absolutely ridiculous. Not only are there franchises with far worse situations (A's & Rays immediately come to mind), but MLB wants to expand in the not too distant future. If someone can name three to four cities out there that are better than a split Chicago, I'd love to hear them. Despite our low ratings today, the potential of the Chicago market is incredible and a new owner would have to be crazy to pass it up to go somewhere like Portland or Vegas. I think I have just the guy for you

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 10:46 AM) Millions in unreported corrupt payments from foreign governments seems like it ought to be illegal. Remember though Clinton having poor email server management is just as bad as this. Right but we are talking about a campaign manager. He's already fired like 3 of them and I don't think this will be the nail that breaks the "hey, he doesn't seem to have the judgment to be president!"s back. edit: brakes/breaks

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 10:52 AM) As a fan, this seems like a legitimate concern, but in reality it won't happen. The Sox have a sweetheart stadium deal in a strong local market with a good TV contract. There's really not a market that would work better for the White Sox, IMHO. I also don't feel like the MLB would be so forgiving of a 120 year old franchise to move cities. Theres no geographic footprint they need to hit. As of now it would basically just be a new owners preference for city. And mlb should work to block that. If they want a new city at this point they should just expand.

The best thing about this thread is a sale like this would take forever and public news about it would be minimal so it will live forever. Cespedes thread x 100

I don't know, unless they can tie work performed while he was on campaign or contributions to campaign itself I think it will be a distraction more than a scandal. However, shows why typically you don't hire campaign managers that just came off of lobbying for dictators.

Sheldon Rankings just went off in a cart. Reminder that everyone is dealing with injuries.

I'm sure this is fine http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/15/us/po...p.html?referer=

G Stanton out for year.

Yeah. Sanchez should have been halfway to third by time pitch was home.

It's pretty crazy with that hit which wasn't that hard Sanchez couldn't score with his speed

Meanwhile Benintendi hitting .394 so far. Unrelated.

FYI no hitter in 7th for mets Matz right now

Needs to keep his composure

We'll need some magic here again

Doing a test run for a Bbq next weekend with a new grill. Picked up some fresh white fish and trout from butcher

These are the days you dream of in March when it's just not warming up

I highly doubt capital gains will play any consideration here. They aren't "saving" on taxes by keeping their investment in the six. That tax will be there whenever they liquidate there stake in the white sox. The benefit is they get to use the rest of their investment gains on whatever they want! Which isn't the case now. But yeah considering the value of their investment may be inflated partially due to public investment in the white sox infrastructure I also have little care for their tactics to save on taxes.

This is one of those good days, even when sox are bad. Beautiful (albeit hot) out, smoking some meat and watching Sale pitch and Saladino throw leather.

I didn't really like Star Trek. It felt long and it was like they wrote all of the dialogue for Paul walker. Some fun action sequences (the first set up sequence was really fence and well done) and I liked that it was lighter but I left pretty bored.

Another walk for TA

Man Albers just can't get back on track

Steeple chase is hilarious
