QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 4, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) It's even more bizarre that you highlight Republicans making the same argument the rest of are, that Trump is so far beyond 'normal' that they can't in good conscience vote for him and will actually vote for Hillary Clinton, but still can't see it. If some Republicans think Trump is so bad that they'll vote for Clinton, doesn't that say something about the equivalence you keep trying to draw here? Um, that people have different points of view? It isn't that difficult. Things like confirmation bias exist for a reason.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 4, 2016 -> 08:44 AM) I think she's just smarter and more experienced about it. But we can still all see it. The question is do people actually care? It would seem no is the answer. People have expectations of corruption when it comes to politicians to the point where we just accept it now. That's what they wanted, too...and we gave it to them. Basically, they've lowered the bar so far over time, that the very people whom we should hold to higher expectations we actually hold to lesser expectations. They don't care. That's why they don't see it.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 3, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) But these two are correlated. How can you paint the dems with the same brush when Clinton hasn't done anything close to s***ting on a solider's family? Also, I assume "the behavior is the same" refers to the behavior of that candidate's party's voters. Team Clinton just pulls most of their stunts behind closed doors and then denies them all. It makes it easy for the surrogates to defend, and do the dirty work.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 3, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) Can't Morneau play 1B once in a while? With his concussion history? Probably not the best idea.

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 3, 2016 -> 06:49 PM) Voters. But that is a great point. This may be the GOPs return of the favor. Or This is exactly what Trump, as the outsider, the antiestablishment candidate needs. It's a great GOP plan to get him elected. Have him look like an outsider. Y'all are brilliant. Not voters. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/03/us/polit...inton.html?_r=0 http://www.salon.com/2016/08/02/i_think_tr...illary_clinton/ http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2016...Congress-follow

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 3, 2016 -> 06:45 AM) Someone already posted what I meant. A sizable population identify with one party or the other and will flip that switch. I would argue that the Republican voters are the most loyal. There were a whole lot of Reagan Democrats but I can't think of many Carter, Clinton, Obama Republicans. Funny you say that as GOP people are defecting right and left, and I have yet to see a single significant democrat do that.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 3, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) Probably not, but the Marlins did trade Rea back to the Pads after he got hurt first game w his new club. What a shame. The difference is that there is no way to claim Tilson's injury was preexisting.

Great stuff as usual.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 04:59 PM) Some fans are more fortunate then your friend so they are able to focus their energies on something they are passionate about...the Chicago White Sox. Different strokes for different folks. Sweeping generalizations are rarely correct or accurate in my opinion. If fans aren't able to vent, or post opinions why is this web site available? Mark Seeing as you are venting, your last line is misleading, at best. But again, this is a message board, so people are able to respond to that.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 04:28 PM) why should we let the current group of incompetent management drive us away from the team entirely? If it makes you bitter and angry, why is it worth it?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Fan Shamer Exhibit A It is too bad you guys don't read past your guilt. I am the one clearly saying if you don't like it, leave. I am also saying that you have to understand the nature of the fan base when talking about this franchise. Those two things are not mutually exclusive, nor shaming.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 12:52 PM) He does. It's also possible they put him on waivers hoping someone claims him giving the Dodgers the option to just let his contract go to the claiming team. This. He will get put on waivers in August, probably very quickly. Everyone gets put on waivers.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) I don't think they will ever move, but there is no doubt a HUGE chasm between the fanbase and the organization now. Can you believe there were fans calling out other fans this season for not showing up? Where are those people now? Reality finally setting in that no one wants to throw their money away on a s***ty product? Remember when people were trying to say that Sox fans weren't bitter and angry...

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Just heard from a second source who was told the same thing, JR does not want a rebuild and unless that changes it simply won't happen. Mark And while people keep saying the chain of command isn't clear, to me, it is very clear.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) And that's an important point I forget to mention -- they may STILL opt to rebuild. None of their desirable pieces are pending free agents. Maybe they didn't like the offers they were getting, but they have another chance and more teams to sell to this winter. This is the big thing. This is the worst free agent market in history, and we have a TON of pieces that could go.

Obviously I have never seen this kid, but the profile and reports scream #2 hitter to me.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 10:24 PM) According to whitesoxdave... FWIW I was told the #WhiteSox turned down a Benintendi, Kopech, Johnson/Ball, and PTBNL package for Quintana from #RedSox That might be less of a return than Chapman got.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 09:51 PM) Southside: It doesn't bother me a tinker's cuss either way. I simply wanted to get some feedback. This is a message board correct or am I hallucinating? Thanks for playing though. Jesus. Mark If it didn't bother you, you wouldn't have posted this thread, nor responded like this. It is a message board, which means that other people can, and will respond to your posts. Thanks for playing though.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 10:06 PM) From Whitesoxdave FWIW I was told the #WhiteSox turned down a Benintendi, Kopech, Johnson/Ball, and PTBNL package for Quintana from #RedSox Yeah, there would have been a pretty impressive meltdown if they came back to the fans with that for Q, and rightly so.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) Apparently not because the way that was worded threw me off and makes no sense. That's why I am clarifying. No name calling. No personal attacks. That is it.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) What? Either this makes no sense or I am still hungover from Lollapalooza No name calling. It really is that easy.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 07:25 PM) If you have to question it, then don't watch, don't listen and don't care. Do yourself a favor, Yep. If it bothers you that bad, don't do it.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 07:13 PM) $20 says Robin plays Avi, Eaton, Cabrera tomorrow. Yeah, I can't see that happening. No reason to call him up and AAA Shuck then.
