QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) That is pretty elitist of him to call fans soft. That's a rightfully damaged fan base. What a DBag How dare you call the man with Phenomenal Sources "elitist"? How dare you, sir

Kaplan probably went home and stomped upstairs to his room and slammed the door yelling "leave me alone!", then put his Cubs Pujols jersey on and cried himself to sleep

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 09:38 AM) Well if Don cooper said something about unrelated players. Nestor Molina begets Mike Montgomery, the circle of life is complete QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) Well, we've heard Don Cooper say similar things for years and years about guys like Nestor Molina, Zach Stewart and Jeff Marquez. If they can also turn Montgomery into a stud, we should be pilfering more coaches from that staff instead of former Sox players. nobody said anything about turning him into a stud. I love how "acquiring a cost controlled young arm" quickly spun into "they need a front line starter for the playoffs" and "if they can also turn Montgomery into a stud...." The Cubs dont want Hammell(and who knows, maybe Lackey too) wasting a spot. They want a young starter with talent that could possibly realize his potential. When they acquired Montgomery, this was all said about him. Maddon in his call in this week mentioned Montgomery starting next year. They probably have acquired this arm already

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 09:25 AM) Don't think the Royals and especially the M's would have dealt him if he was perceived to be a future quality starter. Seattle gave him 18 starts over two seasons but had him in the bullpen for most of this year. He's also had one major injury, think it was TJS. Yea, im sure every time a trade is made, teams make sure every player traded away wont be good And heck, the Cubs started him 5 times after they acquired him so obviously they feel like he isnt worth starting

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 09:11 AM) It's amazing how quickly the trib columnists start wetting their pants and fall back into their cynical sniping of the players/coaches decisions. Went from being so annoyed at the ridiculous tweets like "Lester could have chosen to join the Giants, instead he chose a chance at immortality" to now "Madden tried to get too cute, and now he needs to get smart" This 100% sounds like David Haugh

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 09:08 AM) Remember when Tony Snell could be a young Kawhi Leonard thou? Miss those days. No, i dont remember this

Crazy how different cubs fans sound today on the score than they did after Game 1. It went from "who starts game 1 against Jays/Indians?" to "Maybe David Ross should start at first over Rizzo, and Almora needs to start the rest of the series" and "Maddon is not as good of a Manager as you think he is" in 4 days QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 08:55 AM) No team is dealing young cost controlled arms that will start at the front of a playoff rotation which is what the cubs will need. The cubs dont need an ace. They have Lester and Hendricks, and the both of them have been dominant. Another cost controlled arm will do them very well, but they may have already aqcuired that in Montgomery(at least it seems that way with how Maddon talked about him the other day) The Cubs need to figure out how to hit in the playoffs, specifically the guys who got them there(rizzo and russell) need to figure it out

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 02:21 PM) Apparently Bauer wanted to burn his finger to stop the bleeding. That guy is crazy! I think he also realizes how much he f***ed up

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 01:30 PM) I don't call anybody out. Note I've only heard from two posters so far expressing any disdain at all concerning Hillary. This thread can handle it. Please, go ahead and name these people who are expressing all of this support for Hillary. Inquiring minds want to know

Maybe if all Thursday games were played after a bye week it would be fine, but after the previous Sunday is pretty brutal

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) I mean, all these guys just play a "role", right? How is CNN or Fox News really that different from ESPN and FS1, with Skip, Stephen A, ect. Every network needs guys to give the hot takes and have arguments. I guess, I dont really see Screamin A and Skip being able to really influence people to the point that something changes though. Political talking heads are trying to drive home narratives that could possibly change the government. Not that they DO change the government, but thats the idea

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 11:37 AM) I just watched it on YouTube, and O'Reily came off really well actually. He is a weird guy. Sometimes he is pure garbage, and other times he teams up with Jon Stewart and does that faux debate and seems like he can be a cool guy

I probably closed it because of gregs eleven millionth statement about all the Hillary supporters in this thread. Just a knee jerk reaction

I understand how some could feel the show is at a lull right now, but i am fascinated by it. They are establishing the different storyies that hosts have experienced and showing how they are starting to recall previous events and have feelings about these events(ie the host killing all of the people in the bar because he held a grudge against them from previous stories, where they all killed him). Delores killing the guy about to rape her was crazy. I cant wait to find out who is really messing with the code, Hopkins seems too convenient

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) Yeah, I bet Boston is saying the same thing to themselves. no no, Boston doesnt need Sale because Porcello was good this season

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 11:37 AM) I'm upset that my local affiliate is having a local show instead of Bomani Jones' show. I mean, he talks way too much about NBA stuff, but I enjoy his thought processes. TuneIn app on your phone or Radio.com on phone or computer should get you Bomani wherever he is broadcast

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 10:01 AM) Even if he was an academic All-American at Michigan, NU or Notre Dame, that doesn't necessarily mean he's the best candidate. He played for the Royals, worked in their system, probably was an academic all american, and he got a letter in high school. That right there should make him the Caulfield Stone Cold Lock best White Sox employee in the history of all the universe. The only thing that could be better is if he was best friends with Yasiel Puig

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) The one and dones can't shoot. Went to the Heat-Timberwolves exhibition and top 10 pick Winslow, what a bricklayer. Wiggins? Still with much to prove shooting wise. NBA has to turn the D League into something special because these college guys need to be developed better. Baseball: Players need 4-5 years in the minors. NFL: Players need 4 years in college. NBA: We'll take 'em at 19. i wonder what Bill Self would think if he was forced to keep kids on scholarship for four years instead of constantly turning over his roster with top recruits

Jeffrey straight up dominating Ramsey

Meredith, so much potential and so much duh

Someone remove the bubble screen from Loggains binder Cutler hits alshon on that Go route

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 10:37 AM) I'm heartbroken. McEwing was my favorite 3rd base coach since Jeff Cox. well now he can be your favorite bench coach since i dont know who

QUOTE (KG#1 @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 07:47 AM) Its funny, a Cubs fan at work was so pumped to have Rondon and Chapman in the bullpen when that trade was made and I said, "You better hope Rondon isn't going to be one of those pitchers who handles the 9th better than the 7th or 8th like Thornton was". They didn't seem to think that would happen. Rondon really regressed after moving out of closer role. Rondon got hurt shortly after the trade was made, so you have to consider that as well. If he was healthy i think his set up numbers would be much better, Strop as well

QUOTE (brett05 @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 07:54 AM) It was the second or third time, yes it was egging. But it's your site and you'll enforce your rules however you want. Yes, we definitely rig the rules here too

QUOTE (brett05 @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 07:40 AM) 1 and 3 in the acknowledge thread posting a meme that means "i looked at your post, and closed my computer after shaking my head" isnt insulting you or pushing your buttons. Complaint denied, back to rigging claims
