this has just been a very depressing summer.

I have been pleased with Saladino but surprised people have him pegged as the future. Saladino should be considered a "holdover" 3rd base. He's younger and we can feel good about his defense and decent power stroke (compared to the zero I expected), but the guy is hitting .239/.269/.600...that is something we can upgrade over. I'd feel fine with trying Sanchez at SS and hope he is our eduardo escobar twins-era, micah at 2nd base and saladino as hopefully our utility player.

It's hard for me to take the Sox seriously if they say that Johnson's defense isn't up to their standards, when they sign Melky Cabrera to a $50 million deal and forego a draft choice.. Regardless, no reason not to play Johnson the last 5 weeks of the season. Alexei and Beckham shouldn't leave the bench. Sox gave up O to put Saladino and Sanchez out there. It didn't help the team. It helped some of Cooper's pitchers, but not the team. Not sure the Sox gave up O for Saladino.

I don't think we'll see copycats of news crew murders, but I'm guessing cat is out of bag for Gopro during shooting sprees. If there's one thing people with guns love it's taking pictures and video of themselves using guns. Was only a matter of time.

edit Nevermind.

Just hated the Brett Myers trade, don't care if he didn't do anything as a sox, just hate the guy. Does manager count? Man I hated Bevington.

Aside from Moss, it hasn't seemed like the formerly great veteran receivers have panned out for pats as much.

Yeah, actually makes me feel better. Not sure the As should be on there thou.

Does the outside real estate investment in US from China actually help US in any way? It seems to be a hinderance considering rent/house prices in th emajor cities.

How come all of the strongdollar heads aren't out there telling us how great this is?

Was reading something interesting on how china's huge investment into real estate to the point of overextension means they don't have an easy area to target to reinflate economy.

My favorite thing about Rodon is when he is in a jam I think " well he can just throw a bunch of sliders and get out of it"...and that happens.

Trayce is must watch territory for me right now

Love when Tyler and Carlos have good games.

I liked the ode to fight club with playing the pixies at the end. I actually hope that they do not unwind for us too much when elliot was speaking and when he was just imagining his dad speaking. That's part of the fun. Tyrell, well, there is the possibility he was this gung-ho because he also had a plan to bring down E Corp but from the inside. But that's...a hell of a plan. (Hey become the most successful tech person at the biggest company in the world, and then destroy it) But that's my wife's idea.

Not really Chicago, but on Twitter today Adam Schefter was tweeting thinking he had been fired, turns out it was a mistake at HR at ESPN.

If LaRoche goes crazy and hits 9 hrs thru end of season for 20...how will we look back on his year?

Anderson just looks like a baseball player in everything he does.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 20, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Because North Korea's economy is strong and heavily involved in international trade? GMAB. They trade a bit of money with China for electricity and then receive food aid to keep their people from starving. They have a sweet counterfeit trade with China.

What grounds does the US have to tell a sovereign nation to change it's government?

Oh was that not in his examples?

You guys remember when Clinton was appeasing North Korea too much and then Bush came in and we broke off communications to make it so much tougher on them and then they had an atomic bomb. They really respected the harder line.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 20, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) Terrible. I used to pretend I was Erik Kramer throwing to Curtis Conway and Jeff Graham when I was a kid. Feel really bad for his wife. At the time of your life where you can settle in with family hers is disappearing.

Apologize if this was explained, But wasn't the issue last year in JR rejecting that they were basically going around the back of JR's friend, the current president of the blue jays, in pushing him out? It wasn't that he objected to KWs move.

Title - also still the same. Basically a replay of the NYT Hillary Email scandal.
