Supposedly the Hawks are after Brendan Shanahan, which many of us were in favor of earlier in the year.

The other day his status was "I'm moving to Mexico" so I guess he was pretty against Obama.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 04:40 PM) Eh, not really. We'll just have to agree to disagree 'cause there's no changing my opinion. Even my buddy (who's black) who I watched the coverage with last night thought the random people crying was a little over the top, but whatever... Damn those emotional people who truly care about the direction this country is taking.

Foolish to decline an option that pays an above average starter less than 10 million.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 03:41 PM) McLouth wins the award the same day Bill James announces he is sabermetrically the worst fielder in his position. I love it.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 03:49 PM) I thought it was hilarious when Obama said his october surprise was going to be that his middle name was actually Steve. That made me laugh. I wish it were true!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 03:44 PM) Some of that info makes me think even more than I already was that McCain wasn't running his campaign at all. The campaign and the person just didn't match. ROVE

Pretty soon white males will be the minority, so I'll go with that. A white male minority president will be elected in 2016.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) My dog is being put to sleep back home as we speak. It sucks. I've been there man, that's not easy. In your mom's situation, I think you guys should get her a new pooch for X-Mas. Everyone thinks that's crass, but it always helps things.

They don't even bother with this pointless award, so why should I bother caring. I highly doubt Maddux's old, fat ass was the best fielding pitcher in the NL this year.

Ugh, no thanks.

QUOTE (scenario @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 12:11 PM) 'A Case of Need' is a little known classic. Definitely worth the time. One of his first and written under a different name. That's a very good book. 'The Terminal Man' was also incredible.

Wow, that's too bad. He wrote many entertaining books, and Jurassic Park, ER, and The Andromeda Strain will stand out in entertainment for some time.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 11:45 AM) That's correct. Javy has never had a season where his ERA was over 4.50. Ok, so 3 of his last 5 were over 4.50. Zoinks, Scoob.

Only trade Javy if the deal brings us back something useful. You can't jsut give away a guy who's a guarantee for a sub 4.50 era.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 10:45 AM) That looks awesome. Though Obama's not that dark.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 10:07 AM) If that's the case, bet on Jesse Jr. Jesse Jr said last night he would not leave his current position.

On a local news station last night, Blago at least stated he would not be filling the seat.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 09:53 AM) Ill take both of those guys on the Bears. That's what I was thinking.

Meanwhile, Nate Silver's projections were pretty much spot on.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 08:39 AM) It is almost indescribable the opportunity Obama has. If he somehow keeps together this base of support and can expand it even a little, we have something close to the America we think we have and the image we want to project around the world. I have always believe we grow from the bottom up, not the top down. He has fired up the bottom, fix them, and we fix the world. If we fails, it will be sad, but we will fail while attempting something special. I feel like this election has already given our popularity around the globe the shot in the arm it so desperately needed. Obama has a strong support base, and I think he'll do an incredible job.

This was a clean ass-kicking, and we all should have expected it.

I too thought that McCain was his best in concession. Why he couldn't be that genuine throughout his campaign, I'll never know. He easily ran one of the worst campaigns in recent memory. Last night I feel like we got our first glimpse of the real John McCain since he won the Republican nomination. The outcome works for me, though.
