QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) Someone told me Renteria has too much respect for Robin to replace him midseason and if he ever did replace him, it would be in the offseason. That actually really answers the question why they never fired Ventura in my head.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) I was on vacation last week so I just watched the latest Mr. Robot episode last night. Those first 15-20 minutes were pretty interesting. I liked the way they incorporated the 90's commercials in there as well. I actually remember that Bud Light commercial when it originally aired. The pace is still incredibly slow but it looks like it might (hopefully) pick up pretty soon. IIRC, the showed the first one, but not the second one.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 02:25 PM) It's JR's call 100%. No other shareholder has any rights, and if he died, the executor of his will gets the call. No one else. In a formal sense, or an informal sense? I mean, are you saying that if JR decides to sell the team, all of the board and minority owners would get no say at all, and it wouldn't come before the board for a vote?

So the Cubs are quite literally saying they will give a second chance to the guy beating his wife, but not the guy who mocked someone for beating his wife. Yikes. What a clownshow.

So like when Gore/Clinton was getting money from the Chinese?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 01:52 PM) Where do you draw the line with campaign contributions though? I never really thought Hillary's camp would go to campaign contributions to go at Trump. There's far more dirt on Hillary in this respect. Russia = bad. Using the State Department to get money from African oligarchs under the guise of a charity = okay? Getting money from Saudi Arabia = okay? Claiming to run on wealth equality but having your donation list full of CitiGroup, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, etc. = okay? As someone who hates both candidates, Trump is transparently a buffoon and Hillary's supporters should focus on that. Clinton is transparently corrupt. Her supporters should stay away from a corruption pissing contest. Money from dictators isn't a bad thing, right Bernie? http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presid...in-conflicts-of

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 01:42 PM) Doesn't help much that Rodon' agent is Boras. There was no way it wasn't going to last until the deadline to sign. We all knew that. And I really think he lost a year of free agency because of it.

Here is an idea, don't bring guys into your organization who beat women. Then you don't have to worry about your DJ.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 12:16 PM) Burdi's camp was caught off guard by the call up to Charlotte. They were expecting him to skip AAA entirely. Still hearing from another in the org to expect Burdi up this year. Personally, I don't see any incentive for the Sox to call up Burdi this year but they have been less concerned with service time stipulations than other orgs. Rodon being the only real exception to memory. I swear the difference between the two was how quickly they signed. Rodon went to the week before the deadline. Burdi was pretty much instant. Burdi gets the call up, Rodon didn't. I really think the Sox use it as a signing incentive.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 10:52 AM) As a fan, this seems like a legitimate concern, but in reality it won't happen. The Sox have a sweetheart stadium deal in a strong local market with a good TV contract. There's really not a market that would work better for the White Sox, IMHO. Fangraphs did research on this not too long ago. It looks like the Sox are 13th of 30 at $51 million a year in TV money.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 11:13 AM) They absolutely have a bunch of nutty policies. They are far, far from perfect. But their basic premise of fiscal conservatism and social liberalness align with myself pretty well. They are also competing with two of the worst possible candidates we've ever had, so there's not a high bar for them to surpass. The goal in this election isn't to get one of them elected, it is to bring the two major parties back to the center of the country on their extreme flight to the wings of their respective parties.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 10:52 AM) Cubs Apologize For Playing "Smack My b**** Up" As Aroldis Chapman Exited Game Oops! That is awesome.

Carlos Perez is another name that could have been featured there.

I like seeing Adolfo flash that arm that has been talked about.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 09:40 AM) Turner doesn't have any options. Wasn't he already send down this year?

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 09:17 AM) I could see beck sent down for Ranaudo and alber dfa for burdi Beck makes the most sense because he was the guy just called up. Turner also just pitched the other day, so he is a possibility too.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 09:06 AM) He doesn't think he should be held to what he holds everyone else. In 2012 he ripped Romney for not releasing his taxes saying not releasing them shows something is wrong. Trump won't release his taxes, so something must be terribly wrong, but if someone said that, they are liars and unfair. He is not unlike a very spoiled 8 year old brat and bully. If he loses the election was rigged. Maybe he's right. He's the one rigging it. Or maybe it was a vast left wing conspiracy?

Perfect timing for Arod with Gio getting hurt right as the Yankees released him.
