QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 09:29 AM) Did Bryant struggle and get sent down? Rizzo? Most of their young players like Russell, Baez, Happ, Almora and Schwarber have contributed something along the way. They also signed Gleyber Torres and Eloy Jimenez. Not a bad track record, other than Soler/Heyward. More importantly, Willson Contreras might be the biggest overall contributor of all after Bryant, but their rebuild was never marketed around him being a core contributor in the early stages. Uh yea, Rizzo did get sent down. So did Schwarber, and I think Baez was up and down before Maddon became manager

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 09:19 AM) I mean he got that great new modern facility built in San Francisco. Yea, they built it right on the Oceanside looking at the bridge in San Francis.....*squints at wiki*....Santa Clara with his own mon....*refers to wiki again*.....taxpayer money

Believe me WBWSF, i know your opinion on Reinsdorf. You whine about him incessantly, the space he occupies in your head is immense

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 08:25 AM) I don't doubt it for a minute that DeBartolo would have built his own stadium. He made his fortune building shopping centers. I heard one of the writers from the Tribune on radio say that the new stadium would have been built next to a shopping center somewhere in the western suburbs. Of course you dont doubt it, you believe anyone if they tell you they are great and reinsdorf is terrible. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 08:27 AM) If DeBartolo bought the team, he would have built the best stadium, would have have the highest payroll, the cheapest prices, and the best team, and it would have gone on for eternity. The 49ers prove it. season tickets would be free for the fans that loved Eddie the most

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 07:59 AM) There's a new book out published by the Chicago Tribune called A Decade by Decade History of the Chicago White Sox. Lots of interesting photos of past White Sox players and teams. I think one of the most interesting items in the book is how it tells that Edward DeBartolo wanted to buy the White Sox from Bill Veeck. The AL owners thought he might move the team out of state and he agreed to put in writing that he would keep the team in the Chicagoland area AND build a new stadium WITH HIS OWN MONEY. The AL owners still rejected his bid to buy the team. They then wound up approving JR as the owner, who in a few years threatened and almost moved the team to Florida. Having JR acquire the White Sox instead of DeBartolo has to be one of the worse things to ever happen to the White Sox franchise. Yea I’m sure Debartolo would have totally built a stadium with his own money

QUOTE (glangon @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 07:05 AM) True but that is not the point of the move. The reason he is up is to eat innings. If we get anything for him, then it's a bonus. Volstad eating innings saves arms for the more valuable members of the pen, the ones that we can get something for. We have a young rotation, many of them won't go past 6 innings, that is a lot of innings for a bullpen to eat up, especially if No-Game James and Gonzalez go through a stretch of sucking ass. tbh, Im worried about Shields and Gonzalez burning up the pen far more than i am Lopez, Fulmer and Giolito. However, Fulmer is toeing the line

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 10:03 PM) it's early but ricky is on the clock. team looks absolutely lifeless and sloppy and is not ready to play on a nightly basis. that's a manager issue. Lol Ricky is not on the clock

Im reading that Pompeo's confirmation hearings are pretty bonkers so far

glangon wins

He is gonna be known as a coward who never took the lead, never challenged anyone on any side, who spoke about reducing debt and exploded it, then stepped out the side door

f*** Paul Ryan. It’s not a tragedy, he made the decisions, he made the choices. Nothing tragic happened to him

During the game today DJ said that they checked Castillo out and he was fine, and he told them he was fine. Of course that means next to nothing ha

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 04:27 PM) Well I would counter that now we definitely need a WR in draft, with 4 of our 7 picks coming in 4th round or later. It means Kevin White is now relied upon. The conclusion we have to draw is this: - The Bears deemed Cam Meredith was worth an unprotected 2 million dollar tender but NOT worth a protected $3 mill tender - They left themselves open to losing him then for any contract over whatever idiotic middle difference between 2 and 3 million was Just don't tender him if you think he wasn't healthy, don't do this idiotic move. I felt a WR was happening in this draft regardless of Cam staying or going, so that doesnt concern me. Should they have tendered him? Probably not, but whats done is done. But again, its a guy who probably wasnt going to be counted on for a lot. And thats assuming full health. They still have the draft and post draft cuts to round out the WR depth

Tbh I’m not really concerned about a 4th possibly 3rd WR signing elsewhere. Especially not one coming off such a terrible injury

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 02:12 PM) What a really dumb move by Pace imo, we need depth at WR, the cash was available. This move makes no sense. @BradBiggs More Brad Biggs Retweeted Adam Schefter #Bears opt to not match contract that guarantees WR Cameron Meredith $5.4M with the #SaintsBrad Biggs added, Adam Schefter Verified account @AdamSchefter Bears are not matching two-year, $10 million offer sheet that RFA WR Cameron Meredith signed last week with the New Orleans Saints, per league source. Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy met with Meredith to inform him of decision. 12:08 PM - 11 Apr 2018 Apparently they are concerned about the medicals. Probably dont want 2 WRs coming off of ACL surgeries at the same time

Bears will not match offer sheet from the Saints to Cameron Meredith

STAAAAAHHHHHHHP WALKING PEOPLE

i think this team is gonna have two personalities. The first one will be what we see now, a team that most likely would win 69-75 games. Flashes from young players like Anderson, Yolmer, Reylo and Gio. And the second one will be after the bad to mediocre(Gonzalez, Shields, infante, Engel, Saladino etc) is moved out and Jimenez, Kopech, Viera, etc come up. I really dont know what to expect when that happens, but I think it will be a lot more exciting when it happens QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 10:52 AM) I failed the hot take test. your take wasnt even luke warm. Shame

Bon voyage Paul Ryan, enjoy the private sector

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 03:40 PM) You already showed yourself by not watching the Stossel video in the first place. So OK, I guess? Only one person showing them self here, and it is not me

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 03:29 PM) Its in the Stossel video as evidence of Trump's mannerisms. I felt like the mannerisms that he displayed for the reporter were a lot more dramatic than he displayed for cruise and the general he disagreed with.

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 03:16 PM) It's also a matter of how the media frames it... "Trump mocks disabled reporter" is factually true. He did (by definition) mock a reporter, who is disabled. Though what the media frames and the public hears is "trump mocked a reporter for his disability" which of course is false. Trump is an equal-opportunity mocker. He doesn't factor in identity politics. Trump did not reference to the reporters name, or his disability. I believe the farthest he went was mentioning who the reporter worked for, but other than that, nothing. Donald was describing (and this is important) how the reporter said one thing 10 years ago, and then is now saying something completely different, aka "Double Talking". Donald made an expression that I'm sure anyone else would of a double talker, flailing his arms around because said person is now acting like he doesn't remember what he said 10 years ago. And ask yourself, would Donald, an advocate for injured veterans openly mock a disabled reporter? No. We all know the medias tactics. They watched the rally, and quickly thought of a way to spin what he did in a negative way. They are good at doing this type of stuff, we see it all the time. In fact, Donald made the exact same expression mocking Ted Cruz, who obviously doesn't have a physical or mental disability. He did it in the same way in which he mocks a person who doesn't have any idea of what they're saying, NOT because of their body. This is ultimately just my opinion, but I do believe based on common sense that he was flailing his arms to represent the reporter's double talking, not his disability. I know you already left this echo chamber but I haven’t seen Trump mocking Cruz where he makes a motion like both of his hands are palsied and he is stuttering. Can’t recall that at all

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:50 PM) You forgot Racist Nah, you added it. Just like you added homophobic and sexist with very little to back it up. Rage on But I’m glad you are talking about Pruitt and Zinke and Trump and Price flying all over on their jets to their not so green mansions while telling us global warming doesn’t exist and destroying regulations meant to stop it.....oh wait

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:16 PM) “When your clown makeup rubs off on Trump’s ass, does it make his butt look like a Creamsicle,” “Don’t worry – just keep tweeting – you’ll get back on top! (or does Trump prefer you on bottom?) Either way, keep your chin up big fella..XO,” This is not homophobic to you? You can always tell when you're hitting close to home because they break character and just start calling you a f***** instead of their normal smarmy routine. That idiot Kimmel is obsessed with genitalia and sex. I wonder how many women he raped or molested. Someone should look into that. Jimmy Kimmel go away, racist, sexist, anti-gay... Oh I get it, Hannitty starts calling him “Harvey Weinstein Jr” while attacking him for skits over 10 years old(and let’s go ahead and forget that Hannitty was in Roy Moore’s corner) and Kimmel responds by saying that Hannitty kisses Trumps ass(in a colorful way) and now you get to call him homophobic, sexist, and possibly/probably a pedophile based on what he said two days ago. MAGA away, dude

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:10 PM) I don't think anyone knows for sure either way. Considering Kimmel Is a Homophobic Pig in real life it's not a stretch to say he may be a misogynist perverted sexist pig as well. I think pretty much everything you are supposing is a stretch. I have yet to see anything from Kimmel indicating he is a homophobic pig, but I do know that in college Hannitty was pulled from his radio gig because of homophobia
