QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 02:47 PM) One party does it with significantly higher frequency than the other. You know that. That's why you have to go back 20 years to find a liberal example. lol, you keep telling yourself that. It is all about power protecting power. Nothing more, nothing less. It why Hollywood protected its own, and it is why Washington takes care of its own. Turning it into a political ideology it exactly what turns out people who "protect" Roy Moore by making party more important than country.,

Andrew Marchand‏Verified account @AndrewMarchand 5m5 minutes ago The Yankees like the just retired Carlos Beltran as a potential managerial candidate, according to an official with knowledge of the situation.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 02:21 PM) Bud. Is this the corner you really want to be fighting from? The corner defending the pedophile? Yeah? It isn't the corner I am fighting from. It is the corner where you pretend that only one party defends sexual predators. That isn't at all true, victim "THAT WOMAN" shaming at all.

Maybe it is wrong, but I am more worried about CSN being in financial troubles as they are getting ready to negotiate our next TV contract.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 01:37 PM) He was impeached. So by that logic you support the impeachment of Trump, yes? in fact what happened was

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 11:19 AM) Which is in no way unreasonable. Also, I don't honestly care about a guy making a move on another guy on a date 40 years ago and then stopping after the second guy said no (which is what I've gleaned is the accusation). Even if it happened, it's not a thing. And it detracts from the ACTUAL real instances of assault and harassment that have and do take place. However, if MORE comes out, and it becomes a pattern that has continued, that's a whole different story But I will make one note to our friend rabbit. You notice that famous liberals who get accused lose their careers, are publicly admonished by fellow liberals, and have charges brought against them. What happens to famous conservatives who get accused? They raise money off it, and their base rallies behind them. Yeah. So. There's that. Bill Clinton said hi.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 12, 2017 -> 08:42 PM) And then they immediately forget how to play defense. Nice to have Eddie O back. And he called the team out with a solid on point criticism. Eddie and Pat are the best broadcast name in professional sports. Bar none.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 11:25 AM) Yeah it's going to be a boring off-season for sure. At least on our end. Yep, and this was always going to be the lull. The heavy lifting is done for the rebuild. We have very few veteran type assets, and the ones we have don't have a ton of value. Now we can build only in limited manners and a much more limited timeframe. Now we are to the waiting part, and see what happens.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 10:02 AM) Their punishment was a slap on the wrist. Of course they shouldn't be able to sign the players they acquired only via breaking the rules. Which is what I mean, when getting caught breaking the rules only means you have to start over, there is very little incentive not to just break them like crazy and hope you don't get caught. The Atlanta Braves were apparently cheating so boldly that they had to replace all of their executive team, but will be punished so lightly that they get the top executive candidate to run a team that will almost certainly feature many players acquired through cheating. The Red Sox got locked out of the market for two years on top of losing their players. I would imagine if the Braves really were that much worse, they will see a heavier hand.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 09:14 AM) It bothers me that MLB continues to set up rules so that breaking them continues to be advantageous even after getting caught. Per cardinals, what made it more serious was actual criminal charges brought. MLB's own punishment was laughable. Their punishment to Padres the same. They basically say "okay do-over". Worth mentioning that with the Red Sox they not only punished them, but also cancelled the contracts of their ill-gotten gains

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 09:05 AM) I don't think there is any reasonable punishment they can inflict that would make that an unattractive job. Along this line of thinking, there are only 30 GM jobs, and one of them is off the table as having run AA out of town over a contract dispute from the sounds of it. Even if a guy has to suffer for a few years of penalties, he is going into a really young, upcoming and quality organization. They have tons of talent on the way, a new stadium about to open, and a megarich owner with a sweetheart of a TV deal. I can't see passing up the Braves even if they get blasted on the international market.

Apparently the Blackhawks have remembered how to score? That is nine goals over their last 3 periods, plus the few minutes of OT.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 12, 2017 -> 06:52 AM) 1) White Sox Opening Day Payrolls. 2017=$95 million. 2016=$98 million. 2015=$115 million. 2014=$91 million. 2013=$119 million. 2012 = $96 million. 2011= $129 million. 2010= $108 million. 2009=$96 million. 2008= $121 million. 2) I keep reading that the 2018 White Sox payroll will be around $75 million. Forbes magazine has said that the White Sox franchise brings in about $250 million dollars. The 2018 White Sox will be one of the most profitable teams in MLB. More moola for JR. This just hurts.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 10, 2017 -> 11:21 AM) Well that was fun as heck. I love when directors try doing those long, continuous shots even though it was obviously stitched in some spots. It really added to the stress and anxiety of the situation... then boom.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Nov 11, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) Is there some rule that says that a player in arb years can't sign a frontloaded deal? I can't imagine the MLBPA allowing it. Teams aren't going to give guys contracts that go far outside of the comps for arb years. It isn't done.

No one mention the Indiana, Indiana State game? Damn.
