QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) From reading around it seems like a great majority of Red Sox fans don't want a deal for Sale to get done. Wait until they don't make / get bounced from the playoffs. They'll be complaining then that it didn't get done.

While I agree that they shouldn't take less, it will still be a bummer if nothing happens.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) Hahn asking for the moon, as he should be. But I'm sure a bunch of you will find a way to fault him anyway. The problem when no deal is done, will be the rumors of team X offering A B C, without knowing whether it's actually true.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 01:08 AM) 76% and 5,678 electoral votes, which is enough to allow her to replace every SC justice if she wants, and she also gets to pass 1 major piece of legislation without Congressional approval. It's in Article 12. I thought it was Title IX.

They haven't lost since they sent Chris Sale home, just sayin'. #stirringthepot

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 06:51 PM) There's a couple of ways it could split and end up 269/269, in which case it'd go to the House and we'd end up with President Trump. I was thinking about third / fourth parties throwing a wrench into the mix. I guess it wouldn't matter if someone doesn't get 270, the result will be the same.

I'd deal him like Kramer, take the coffee before hearing the and.

What do we need to (realistically, if possible) happen for no one to get enough electoral votes?

With our luck, they'll agree to a great deal in principle. Then Chris Sale will break his hand punching a wall, thus killing the deal.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 07:30 PM) Sigh. People too young to remember Nader costing Gore the election in 2000... imagine a world where the US never invades Iraq... I wish I was, I remember Perot costing Bush votes. These folks are acting like petulant children.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 06:57 PM) Haha, damn these Bernie fans are ROWDY While I don't want Trump, I will laugh at any pisspants Bernie supporter that complains about President Trump.

My 2 cents: I don't think Boston is going to give up what most here think it will take to get Sale. That being said, if they don't, dig in your heels. Don't take a lesser offer when you don't have to.

I wonder if they'll talk about it after the game resumes, everybody else is. (Sale incident)

Did Trump really just say depleted military? Did it really get a huge applause break? Even if he's sincere in wanting to do all these things, there is no way it's going to happen. Republican or Democrat controlled House and / or Senate, doesn't matter.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 02:53 PM) Under the (sweetheart lease) deal, the Sox didn't have to pay a fee for use of the stadium until 2008. In 2015, that fee amounted to about $1.6 million. The Sox also must pay a fee on each ticket sold in excess of 1.93 million in paid attendance. Since 2008, the Sox have paid that fee only in 2010, when games drew 2.2 million fans. However, the Sox were allowed to apply a credit based on the taxes the team paid that year, reducing the ticket fee payment from $455,974 to $95,531. "The White Sox didn't have that much of an incentive to really pack the place," Sanderson said. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-sox-...0521-story.html Thanks for the new avatar idea.

Wow, Angels leading Red Sox 20-2 in the 7th inning.

Wow, that didn't take long.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 02:24 PM) But I do agree that the season seemed a bit flat, I think season 1's ending and all of S2 were just funnier and S3 was a bit of a let down. There wasn't enough Jian Yang.
