I assume he is not paying taxes at all now, but feel like all farmers take out a loan on the year, but maybe that's more grain/corn farmers.

I don't like it.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 11:07 AM) I hope so, but at the same time, Cliven Bundy has owed the federal government millions of dollars for years now and, as far as I know, is still illegally grazing his cattle on BLM land. Fines don't mean much if they won't enforce them. So, is there really no way to "garnish" wages? Surely the man takes out loans, etc. He gets electricity, presumably. I feel like with normal people these would be effected.

Yeah, you are right, Sanders and Trump are the exact same. End thread.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 11:19 AM) I don't really want Fowler, but this is ridiculous. Here's one aspect that I relate to, however. If we sign Fowler, that is a position I still want to upgrade in the coming years, yet our OF would be set for the next 3

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 11:07 AM) Shocker a SEC fan trying to start conference wars. LOL

Question: if you can get Fowler at Melky's contract, do you do it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 10:45 AM) It seems obvious, but what are players willing to give up to have that happen. Honestly, not sure players need to give up anything logically. Has the pick compensation ACTUALLY curtailed cost in any meaningful way? This is the owners tying their own hands behind their backs and crying it was the players fault.

Right I think Northside's math may be a little low but not too much. There is another side to the Trump polling though, where when people are allowed to vote anonymously they favor him more.

So since last years bowl record proved the SEC was overrated and Big Ten was great does this year show that the Big Ten is weak and SEC is best conference ever? Or do we just ignore them.

They were pretty damn lucky in 2013, hence the regression they all foresaw then. Clearly there is something the model is undervaluing, likely with the contact and defense, and relievers.

I could have told you with this campaign he'd have the pat buchanon people wrapped up, but that it's been so much larger is crazy.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) Yeah, multiple myeloma. His treatment has been going fairly well, results are less than ideal but still pretty good, but he knows he only as so much time at this point. edit: he actually had an update on his health yesterday because a lot of people (including me) may have been reading a little more into that article than he intended. That's good to hear. I don't know that there is a better writer on macro trends for health, environment and how they interact.

They hated the Royals last year too and totally nailed that one.

The next CBA should hopefully update the terrible compensation system on FA, as well as the international market. The only thing I think improved was draft. But the idea that if you go over your spend the best thing to do is go WAY OVER is so ridiculous I can't believe nobody brought it up ahead of time.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) I honestly think Fowler + SS + Starting pitcher is better than just getting Cespedes. It'd be nice to get a big bat, but we have a decent amount of power as is. To get a guy who can hit you 15-20 homers, get on at .350-.375 clip, and play CF somewhat adequately would be huge. Getting a SS and another starter to sure up the rotation also makes your team much more well rounded. We do not have a decent amount of power.

Aside from the fact that these people deserve a fair trial and not just to be assassinated, this should be pretty easy to resolve peacefully. But first, please God create a perimeter and stop letting them wander in and out of their play den. Cut off their supplies, cut off access to media...and it ends.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 04:51 PM) Adam Eaton approves of Cespedes. Jake Spiwak ‏@BeatsByDrSpi @AdamSpankyEaton @whitesox Maybe add Cespedes to the #SoxFest list too? ? Adam Eaton ‏@AdamSpankyEaton 8m8 minutes ago Adam Eaton Retweeted Jake Spiwak I would be down for that.. I have to say, that has to be awkward if you are Garcia to see your teammate actively speak of replacing you.

Certainly seems like the time it took to land Gase was concern he'd be 1 and done, so good chance Loggains was picked expecting to move up. In Denver, he moved up gase from McCoy. I trust the dude to pick coaches, that's for damn sure.

I used to want Dave Ragone to BE our QB.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 04:01 PM) You have to put the Dodgers as #1. Damn. It is so ridiculous how rigged this system has become for what it would consider "bad actors"

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) The consensus here seems to be that the front office would not be willing to go there. So, if you're correct, where does that leave the Sox? Saying they were serious bidders as we go to RF with someone else.

I kind of wanted to see if Caldwell would be fired to see if Jim Bob Cooter would be available. But yes, anxious for new QB coach. Fox's strength is his ties around league. When was last time a bears assistant was promoted to head coach? Ryan? (I don't think Rivera counts because we fired him for Bob Babich)

Damn, I didn't know Kevin Drum had bone cancer.

I'd guess 5 for 108 is his final amount, with him not getting the 6 for 150 he thought.
