Greg, you don't use this teams record to grade the rebuild. That is totally counterintuitive

Favorite moment of Spicer reign is that weird ass interview with brietbart

is it normal to ask your lawyers if you can pardon yourself? Asking for a friend

Nine inch nails released an EP today, and if you are a fan of them at all you should listen to it. It's the second part of a trilogy of EPs, the first came out last year called "Not the actual events", this one is "add violence"

No, it's not better than any message any congressman, senator, or former president has given him. He is a moron. And it is the day after he called the guy crusty Totally nonsensical ?

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:24 PM) Frazier had to be traded but his departure has to leave something of an empty feeling in the clubhouse. He will be missed. What? No. This is false. Frazier was largely a disappointment in Chicago, bye felicia

A few of his ejections were pretty stupid and petty by umpires. The last one where he was walking back to the dugout and got tossed was really bad I'm not saying he is innocent, he gets tossed arguing balls and strikes too much

Ezekiel Elliott involved in a fight this weekend, not a good look considering the NFL is still looking into the domestic abuse charges

Guys, the slam dunk has happened. He is done

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 01:19 PM) Make it stop please I can't, man. He knows *a lot* of true white sox fans. Therefore this trade is bad and *posts game recap article from Cubs game that I totally don't pay attention to because it's the Cubs and EW! cubs*

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 01:12 PM) No need to resort to personal jabs like calling me irrational and hateful just to disagree or make a contrary point while claiming that everyone agrees with you. Listen man, I feel no differently than countless true White Sox fans about this trade, and I know *a lot* of them. But I understand how cub fans are ecstatic about this and others who do not feel invested in one of baseball's biggest rivalries or perhaps are unfamiliar with the history of the two franchises and their fan bases may not fully understand it or care about it. "“I think we are back,” Contreras said after the Cubs completed their three-game throttling with an 8-0 victory Sunday. “Back to where we were last year. I hope we can be like this for a lot of games.” Club president Theo Epstein delivered them another ace in lefty Jose Quintana — a blockbuster deal with the crosstown White Sox that came with more than a subtle kick in the rear urging the boys to kick it into gear. The message, it seems, was received. On Sunday, Quintana took the ball for the first time as a Cub and validated Epstein’s gamble: Seven shutout innings, just three hits allowed and 12 strikeouts — tying a franchise record for a pitcher in his debut. “I’m really happy to be here,” Quintana said with the relief of a man transported from last place in the AL Central and a life of perpetually poor run support.Yet, he’s probably not as happy as his new teammates. Had the Cubs played much worse in the first half, Epstein and Co. might have had to ponder selling assets, rather than adding. Instead, they plucked the gem of this deadline before the market even opened. Quintana has pitched into at least the seventh inning in 51% of his starts since 2015. He’s pitched between 200 and 208 innings the past four seasons, precisely the reliable salve the Cubs rotation needed. And he’s under club control at between $8.5 million and $10.5 million per year potentially through 2020. It’s impossible to quantify if the Cubs’ enhanced self-esteem this weekend was more the intangible boost from the front office, or facing Baltimore’s major league-worst pitching staff. It’s not surprising which narrative the Cubs prefer. “It gives us that extra confidence,” says reigning NL MVP Kris Bryant, who hit his 19th homer among three hits Sunday. “We have a lot of the same core that we had last year, and we won the whole thing. To add him for an extra three years, too — I think it’s a great move.“I think our offense came alive here. Obviously, Jose did an unbelievable job. Today was a great day for us feeling good about ourselves.” In fact, it’s almost impossible to find a Cub who isn’t trending upward. So, he dominated, spiking his curveball for swinging strikeouts early in the game, leaning on his fastball and changeup late. He finished with a flourish, striking out Mark Trumbo looking and inducing a double-play grounder from Chris Davis to end the seventh, greeted with a high-five from Maddon upon reaching the dugout. “He knew he had done well,” says Maddon. “He’s a low-key fellow, but his method is outstanding. “From his perspective, coming over from the White Sox to the Cubs in the middle of the season, There’s got to be something going on in there. And he handled it extremely well.” Link Edited to add link: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2017/...6987316c62215a5 Lmao. True white sox fans. Right. You obviously know more than me Continue reading those Cubs stories. Sounds fun

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 11:43 AM) 1. Probably the best guess, the most valuable and has been mentioned in the books. Plus it makes the war more interesting. 2. Did they go with Dany or just send ships/troops? 3. At this point, does it matter? Her legitimacy isn't really the problem right now. 4. Agreed on not making logistical sense. I think they are still in Dorne. In regards to 3, i wouldnt think it matters a lot, but Cersei is still concerned about perception more than reality. Kings landing hates her anyways, she has burned all the bridges she has for the most part. If a Baratheon showed up and challenged her seat, im not really sure she could do much to oppose.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 11:43 AM) I am not suggesting that Hahn did NOT have other choices. To the contrary, I am stating that he did. One of the choices was to not make that breathless trade with Epstein and to simply wait to trade Quintana. Epstein became desperate to deal for a starter. The return was not overwhelming. No one can say that Quintana would have had any less trade value this week than he did last week...including to the cubs. Quintana will not win a World Series for the cubs but he may put them in a good position to get into the play-offs. Chalk up one big win already along with the emotional turn around of the team after getting that shot in the arm. Go ahead and root for the cubs . I guess the rest of us will wait for 2019 when I think the only irrefutable fact that we all can see is that your hate for the cubs makes you baseball irrational.
