All reasons that any vote confirming him to the Supreme Court should be delayed until the investigation can occur.

Hyperinflation ftw!

All of the players you mentioned will be 25 or younger next season. That's really quick to write them off.

And you'd've been one of the first ones railing against the incompetence of the FO if they had traded the pieces necessary to pull that off and he'd been injured in spring training instead of having an MVP caliber season. That's the thing about trading players, there's no way to eliminate risk in the process.

I think someone did that and found that the Top 3 have a gap, then the rest of the Top 10 have a gap, then it's pretty much a crapshoot. I didn't do any research or find the article I'm remembering reading, so I could be completely wrong, but I seem to remember that.

This is why you look at wins. The Sox are currently 3 because if the Sox and Marlins have the same number of wins at the end of the year, the Sox get the higher pick. 62-99 is a better record than 62-100, for example.

Hopefully they like the Baylor C more.

SLG and OBP need to go up. That's only about an 8% BB rate with an ISO of .129.

Do they really want to lose again?

Actually, yeah, Bryce, get me his information. We've literally argued about Pressley before and while I've donated to Beto (because fuck Cruz), my time is more valuable than my money to me, and Beto doesn't actually reflect my values, he's just "not Ted Cruz". I'll give money (and a vote if I had it) to that cause, but not time. Bryce is actually pretty close to what I want as a rep, and turning Paul Ryan's seat would be great. He's not quite as aggressive on raising taxes on the wealthy as I'd like, but no candidate is perfect.

You sound very establishment Democrat here. "Volunteer for who I tell you to, OR ELSE!"

Who are you to judge that? IMO, AOC needs my support more than any candidate as she's the one who most closely articulates the platform I believe in. Besides, I gave you two other options. I'll help either of the progressives that won their primaries and are having sore loser campaigns run by the Centrist Democrat that was in the race that StrangeSox cited earlier. Andrea Harrington or Rachel Rollins, either will work. I have no interest in helping "Democrats" who are looking out for corporations moreso than constituents. If I did, I'd help Donnelly or Visclosky.

@Reddy, you can get me the info for these two, as well.

The good news is if the White Sox end with the same number of wins as the Marlins, they get the higher pick.

Amend the bill to take out the increase in military spending. Sure, how about Ocasio-Cortez?

Rauner has been absolutely disastrous for Illinois and has exacerbated several of the problems the state already faced by acting more like a petulant child than a governor. I don't trust Pritzker, either, but at least he has some good agenda items, like a progressive income tax at the state level instead of a flat tax. I just don't know that he'll act on them, because the Democratic party talks a big game on the campaign trail, then caves when it comes time to deliver on those promises. That's why they can't consistently win elections. Daniel Biss would've been a better choice for governor than either of the candidates running now IMO.

This is a good article for Reddy to read. I have no doubt his first move will be to try to discredit the source.

That's not how limited partnerships work. Limited partners have little to no recourse to oppose the decisions of the general partner, typically it's none. That is likely the reason the White Sox are owned by a limited partnership.

Voting to authorize increased military spending is a terrible idea.

There's not a politician worth my time in a 50 mile radius of me. I didn't bring it up. You started your Bernie Bro bullshit after the NY primaries before I even commented on it. And now you're just outright lying, a tactic straight out of the HRC playbook.

It's a limited partnership. I haven't seen the organizing documents, but that suggests that all of the investors have a limited partner stake, with the general partner being the corporation over which Reinsdorf has majority control. In a limited partnership, the general partner(s) has/have 100% control regardless of the ownership shares. That means if Reinsdorf has majority control of the corporate general partner of the limited partnership that owns the White Sox, he has 100% control of all decisions for all intents and purposes.

Cease has control issues? Isn't his BB/9 incredibly low?

I'm not "hating" on you, I just don't understand how you reach the conclusions you do, especially the contradictory ones. That can't be right, because you call me a "Bernie Bro" every time you bring up how police brutality is the most important issue out there right now and anyone who disagrees doesn't know how to communicate with minority communities. It's not the convention or the Superdelegates that has the party fractured, it's the corporate establishment that doesn't want to yield power to the progressive activists that can actually move the party and its causes forward. I doubt many did, but HRC and her campaign calling them racists didn't endear her to them.

A figment of the Hillary Clinton campaign's imagination. In their twisted worldview, a "Bernie Bro" is a white male millennial who doesn't care about racial issues. In reality this was nothing more than a smear campaign by the Clinton campaign toward Bernie supporters. Then they were flabbergasted by the fact that we weren't "with her" when she stole the nomination. Gee, I wonder why the "You're all terrible people, now vote for me" strategy didn't work.
