  1. I've never not had spotify premium and am shocked how useless the free version is. Being able to use it on mobile off wifi is hard not to have.
  2. Good for him. Hope he can get some traction.
  3. If the left wing of the democratic party actually cared about issues enough to vote during midterms more than sharing articles on social media they could probably have accomplished more. Hillary's campaign is so much better this time, she's a better candidate than 08. She's smart and she doesn't pull any punches. Something I didn't care for in 08 but see a lot of appeal in now. You know why Clinton has such a murky record? She has actually been in the policy fights of the last 20 years and having to be part of the decisions of watering down or strengthening bills that affected people. Meanwhile Sanders was in his safe lillywhite seat in Vermont sniping. Caucusing with the democrats and never getting an elite chair in the senate. But yeah, I'm sure as president his debate skillz will convince the country to vote in a wave of candidates and create a liberal dream gov't. I'm convinced.
  4. I don't mind the upper deck at all anymore, I just wish we had a more modern outfield area. It's fine! It's good, but then you go to other parks and there aren't many worse. Anaheim probably the only one I'd say was more bare. Edit: the word I was looking for was concourse.
  5. woo hoo, spotify now on echo.
  6. Honestly though that was probably the ugliest design possible. Especially in a city like Chicago, can't believe they'd put up such a basic, functional park.
  7. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 11:08 AM) It seems crazy that it has been 25 years since the grand old lady was closed down for good and the "new" Comiskey Park was opened. It makes me feel old to think an entire generation of Sox fans is growing up not having been to a game there. It is also worth mentioning that USCF is now the 9th oldest stadium in baseball, though soon could be 8th depending on what happens in Tampa. The renovations helped a lot, if they never updated the outfield and upper deck it would feel every bit of that 25 years.
  8. I still think if fowler signs it will be closer to melky's deal. i don't think 3/30 will happen. If it does that is a tremendous deal, if it's less, its a steal. $10 million for an outfielder with a strength (obp) as good as his is pretty remarkable. But, I think 3/44-45 is what we end up seeing.
  9. QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 07:26 AM) Phil Rogers and Merkin have both said they don't want to give up any draft picks. Others have mentioned that they are involved on Desmond and Fowler. Hahn basically said they might forfeit the pick. The White Sox are trying to get Desmond or Fowler to sign for cheap in my opinion. Those guys don't have many suitors and they are waiting for a bigger deal than is available. Fowler has to crack eventually. The QO really sapped the value from these guys. They both should have accepted. Yes, but we should hold our tongues before its official. Everyone we thought so far would sign for a discount did, but not near the level we anticipated.
  10. Yeah their schedule has been stupid long for season 3. Probably hard to get that cast together.
  11. Sure, people are discriminated against, but it's only okay to point out of they are white Christians who are forced to say happy holidays!
  12. The serious candidate https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/695056822336622596
  13. I was probably 9-10 when it happened. Its kind of fun to re-live as an adult (fun is an odd choice, but you know what I mean).
  14. Not a sox, but if Granderson stays in the game would love to have him in the org as a manager.
  15. You are talking about hall of famers though, not even all stars or really good players. Good players under control for 6 years is still very very valuable. The Royals may not have a single hall of famer, and won the world series.
  16. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 08:18 AM) Not sure what exactly happened. I called and set up internet at my new house last Tuesday with the "self-install" option because I already had my own modem and the previous owners had Comcast. Plugged the modem in, called to set up the account, had it all activated in about 10 minutes. Worked great for a week. Then about midday yesterday, I got a voicemail from Comcast saying my service ticket was being cancelled because I had selected the self-install option so no service was needed. Weird, I hadn't made any service calls, so I just ignored it. I got home and of course the internet doesn't work, it just kicks me to the auto activation page. That doesn't work, so I call and get transferred to their moving services line. The lady there was nice and helpful, but some of her remarks included "huh, I've never seen that before" and "I don't know why they would deactivate an account like this, hold on while I contact our internal help desk [five minutes of hold]." She supposedly got it all straightened out and then transferred me to account activation to get my modem registered. This guy was completely useless and after trying to to activate twice, told me I needed to go to my local Comcast office. Which, of course, is like 25 minutes away and only open 9-5 during weekdays. No idea what that office is going to be able to do that they couldn't do over the phone/remotely, and of course I'll have no way of verifying that everything's functional when I leave that office. Google fiber can't come fast enough. edit: I hate getting mad at CSRs because I know how s***ty of a job that can be (please don't yell at Southwest phone people, you may be yelling at my mom!) and really, it's not their fault that Comcast is such a pile of garbage company with underpaid and usually incompetent technicians. I had a similar situation happen to me. They ended up cancelling my entire account as a customer, so I lost my easy to remember email and all account info. Took 8 days to correct and 6 one hour conversations. I did lose my temper once, but for the most part I have had a good experience with comcast.
  17. 1 team meeting fine. 1 team meeting every month = death knell.
  18. What's worse for the MLB: Teams like the astros/cubs tanking for 3 years or the Marlins who are never explicitly tanking but are more concerned with revenue than winning.
  19. 11,000 delegates from Iowa. That is a ridiculous number. What is that dumb conference like.
  20. Avila for sure. No basis for this but Matt Albers.
  21. WEll then, aren't you all so on top of things.
  22. http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb-news/46920...signated-hitter This happened like 3 weeks ago, and I'm surprised how muted the response has been. Perhaps thats because the real fight hasn't begun for it, but it just seems like a gigantic change to the makeup of the league and changes to status quo usually are met with much more resistance. Any thoughts on this? Pretty good news for bad fielding 1b and free agency.
  23. Unbelievable! The media once again covering up for Hillary. Just rolling out a red carpet for her!
  24. Seems like a fun day to be a Rivals or sbnation web vendor.
