  1. A post with the term perma-cripple, yet calling someone else fooking stoopid. That is some comments section level of cognitive dissonance. Just, wow.
  2. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-biden-coronavirus-fauci-idUSKBN28D3FU?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook
  3. Almost all of these guys will sign one year deals. They are looking to have a big year and reset their values.
  4. Yes it does. Just off of Lake Michigan.
  5. Call it a hunch, but I think Renteria learned in 2019 about over exposing McCann, and his numbers were protected a lot more this year than they were last year when James crashed at the end of the season. I wouldn't be shocked if the next team to sign him finds out the same thing.
  6. I am amazed at how many people I see at our casino on a daily basis. Then again I guess if they knew how to play odds, they wouldn't be at a casino.
  7. McCann was never coming back to the Sox. Sure both parties said the right things, but someone is going to both pay him to be a starter, and offer him the time behind the plate as a starter.
  8. I think this is their cheap move, while they put out the big bucks on guys like Bauer and Springer.
  9. Except this time he might have the manager on his side.
  10. You are correct. For some reason I got it in my head it was an MiLB with invite to ST.
  11. And then another 50 post discussion before declaring him a lock as an all-star.
  12. Good for him. The dude bounced back from a non-tender with the Tigers and an MiLB contract with the White Sox. It just goes to show you that you can't always rush to pronounce players as DOA.
  13. Static air supply is such a HUGE part of this. The longer you are in a public setting with the same people, the better your odds of catching this are, mask or no mask.
  14. They aren't even in the same stratosphere. Colas is an instant top 100 prospect when he gets to the US.
  15. Because our idiot President decided that his method of attacking this was to pretend it didn't exist, we never got to the stage where we really tested civil rights of a lot of these proposed maneuvers, because this nation can't even agree that COVID is a real problem. But I really don't think you would have gotten away with locking people in their homes for months, instituting mandatory checkpoints all over the country to stop people from moving from street to street and neighborhood to neighborhood, as well as forcing them to own tracking devices, all with the threat of imprisonment in the US. These ideas would have never survived conservative court challenges. You can point to other countries as much as you want, but none of them have our constitution or legal system. I mean there are cases of forced business closings being thrown out in state courts, how do you think any of this stuff would have flown in a constitutional sense here? Obviously these methods would have controlled numbers better, but at the same time, if it isn't legal, it isn't going to fly. The biggest failure in the US was to sell this as another WW2 or 9/11 and try to unite the country behind the message that this was not only the right thing to do, it was the patriotic thing to do. Instead our idiot in chief used it as a wedge issue.
  16. I figured Trump would be the last...
  17. If the arb system would have let us bring back Rodon at a million or two, he'd still be here. Because the number was more like $6 million, he isn't.
  18. There were many. Purdue was among them. https://www.salon.com/2020/11/19/exclusive-watchdog-files-complaint-with-sec-accusing-gop-sen-david-perdue-of-insider-trading/
