So, Rauner vetoed the budget bill, and senate overrides his veto which means now it goes to the House for a vote. How many more power checks can occur before this bill is actually put into motion? If House approves the bill, can Rauner do anything else? What a mess

Abreu doing DFA-worthy things, 3 run bomb

I don't like watching the gray red white and blue versus the white red white and blue

Why does Rajai Davis play on every team the sox play against

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 07:13 PM) There's no problem with voicing your discontent with ownership, but I think most of us have a problem with jumping in and pissing on practically every other thread. I'm not saying it's necessarily you, and maybe it's mostly greg, but some of us still like to follow the team and try to get excited about the players and would rather do it without a doomsday post derailing every conversation. This is a greater post. It's more messageboard-y

Probably postgame fireworks

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 12:54 AM) Trump's twittering is officially an embarrassment and/or illegal. He's bullying on there and mocking and threatening people. He needs a national nickname involving Twitter. I swear you are like 10 months behind the world

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 2, 2017 -> 07:59 AM) Ynoa has had flashes but probably not a keeper. Beck holmberg and Minaya are work horses, over-used it seems to me in order to protect and keep fresh Kahnle, Swarzak and Robertson (and for good reason).Some of the former trio could be back of the pen keepers. The general inability of any starter besides Q to get 6 innings has resulted in throwing some of these guys to the wolves. it doesn't help when three guys (Jones, Petricka, Putnam) who were supposed to be the back end of the pen cannot stay healthy

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 07:45 PM) Doesn't it also seem like he's making the routine play look easy, something we haven't seen this year at SS? Dude, we get it, you don't like Anderson. You don't have to b**** about him every chance you get in game threads

Stars aren't coming to Chicago, this front office is toxic.

Maybe Nate Jones. But Tilson is up there

Goodbye Charlie Tilson

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 11:15 AM) And so were Jean Segura, Logan Morrison, Justin Smoak and Alonso. Every player who has a bad season or two isn't doomed forever. Look at Avisail Garcia. Hmm, so, all of the above are worth waiting on. But Tim Anderson, doomed forever lets sign Alcides Escobar

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 08:49 AM) This whole Joe/Mika story is getting a bit more interesting now that Trump called Scarborough a liar and Joe is accusing the WH of colluding with the National Enquirer to blackmail a critical journalist into silence. I just dont know what Joe can do here. If he responds, he is lowering himself to Trumps level(smh, "lowering yourself to the POTUS level" is a thing) and he looks bad, and if he doesnt respond, then Trump keeps repeating his lie as if it is real and people believe it and he looks bad

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) Well Trea Turner just broke his wrist thanks to Captain Jackass Strop Come on, Strop didn't do that intentionally.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 03:12 PM) I do wonder if things have gone to s*** because Gar gradually got more power. They used to draft decently and while they were conservative, they didn't actively hurt the team. The last few years have been a complete tire fire though. I have a terrible feeling that they're going to find a way to trade for Melo now that Phil is gone. It seemed(to me at least) that the asset misevaluation started with messing up Asiks RFA status and getting nothing for him when he was clearly coming into his own. From that point forward it just snowballed

Sorry Greg, not gonna praise you for just now figuring out that trump is a D bag

did someone change a setting so i hear the Price is Right sad trombone when i open this thread?

Petricka can go. Not a fan

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 08:30 PM) OMG the responses to the tweet. Some guy asking Gordon if that made his day, wtf

Nats are blowing Lackey up. Their offense already is the best in the NL, imagine if they had Eaton

Any word about weather? Still good for the start time? I'm in Lake In The Hills and it poured here an hour ago but nothing bad now

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 03:34 PM) I acknowledged they haven't won since 1995. But it's not from lack of incompetence or creativity. They've acquired superstars over the years without having to be in the lottery. The Bulls have acquired guys like Ben Wallace and Carlos Boozer. If they took a different route and ended up on the same position as the Bulls, it's hard to give them massive props for being underrated just because they acquired stars. They still haven't been able to do jack s*** And by no means am I endorsing the Bulls Front Office
