Even though I don't care for the "Keith Law hates the White Sox!" meme, I have a hard time believing he would have good sources on this.

QUOTE (gatnom @ May 27, 2014 -> 06:47 PM) I might have just missed it because I didn't really have time to do anything but give it a quick glancing over while at work, but It doesn't seem to me that he really ever puts forth a legitimate plan for how reparations would work. Where would the money come from? How would it be used? Furthermore, I don't think that just throwing money at the problem will actually solve it the way he thinks it would. What he actually proposes in the article is that the bill that John Conyers puts to the floor every single year (Bill H.R. 40: http://conyers.house.gov/index.cfm/reparations) be passed. What the bill actually does is it would form a committee to study slavery and its after-effects on current Black Americans, and would propose "appropriate remedies". Coates isn't a policy wonk and I don't think an article like his requires the actual solution laid out, his point was to make the case that the idea of reparations should not be considered outside the bounds of social discourse.

This year TJ has hit so many different pitchers who can even tell what the reason is.

WIthout a catchall thread I wanted to say this. I was driving down and back from STL sat and sunday listening to the game on the radio which I rarely have (I used to have the mlb gameday package where I would listen at work). I was actually really enjoying myself Saturday with Farmer and DJ. Though it was killer not actually seeing what happened on the Nieto play on Sat.

The east has been down so damn long. In football you had the long time dominance of the NFC that now switches back and forth. But in basketball the smart organizations seem to be confined to the West. There is some new blood: Philly potentially, Toronto. But for the most part it's just garbage in garbage out.

I unfortunately only have time for one sentence sniping now. I actually waited a bit and read it last night. It is very very depressing. I like that he used a specific neighborhood, heartbreaking it's in Chicago. BUt it does paint it out, how a neighborhood could fall apart when you are stripping the wealth out of the neighborhood and pushing vacancy of the housing all throughout. So evil. I was wondering what I would do if I specifically was a grandson of the family that was the landlords of these neighborhoods.

Interested to see what Wizards would consider to be their movable assets. I'm trying to remove myself from NBA offseason because it's too painful for me.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 27, 2014 -> 02:52 PM) Anyways, anybody hear about Kevin Love to the Wizards? If they can pull that off without giving up Beal, yikes. What's the proposed deal?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 27, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) The Case for Reparations I thought that should be its own thread.

I had to dig for this one. I missed this weekends action, was bummed Stan got ousted so early.

I think the most discouraging thing to me from last night was before the game I felt so confident after seeing the lineups. These were our getmeover playoff lines. With the Red Wings series last year, I still felt like we were playing well despite being down 0-3. Blues we weren't but also gave away 2 late late leads. This series Hawks have run into a buzzsaw. I have to hope it just comes around on them just as quick.

I can't believe this is the same chicago special teams.

Man, team playing out of control.

I don't know why I hate the heat so much, but at this point I just do so whatever. I hate that nobody calls out how Wade is one of the dirtiest, whiniest players in the NBA. I don't really hate Bosh I think he's incredible. I hate Anderson and everything he does. I hate Battier for signing that bulls*** deal to go there. I hate Spoelstra because he looks like the game in mario party where you have to recreate bowsers face. And I hate Lebron because I have tried to talk myself into enjoying watching the best basketball player of the last 15 years, and then I watch him and immediately want to punch him in the face. Dude is amazing, but he's as likeable as Isaiah Thomas.

Last page and a half has been very entertaining. Kudos to everyone, I've learned a lot.

Honestly it looked like the Yankees were Cricket players trying to hit baseball pitches for the first time. I've never seen people so turned around. *still waiting for tweet to confirm he feels normal*

Last night was fun. I'm glad we decided not to shut him down for ten years.

Dope boy fresh.

He's overthrowing everything.

How did texeira get to second on that?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 23, 2014 -> 02:45 AM) Well, except for the Chris Sale striking out 10 in six innings part...for those who love pitching. It's not like the Yankees are putting a modern-day Murderer's Row on the field these days, either. I was talking about that half inning with 2 minutes between pitches and 14 timeouts, but great comment.

It is amazing to me Carcillo keeps ending up on playoff teams thou

This tape needs to be sent to league for why nobody watches baseball anymore

Attaboy Adam!!!
