QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 07:02 AM) My wife started at Northwestern Medicine yesterday. The healthcare benefits are the s***. Sweet. That is such a great way to cut costs as a family, if you can. The problem is that it is nearly impossible anymore.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 11:15 PM) Not really, but my friend recommended me to them. I figure I'd give it the college try and just practice the whole interview process. I am about 95% sure that is a bottom of the financial barrel sales job, FWIW. The interview will probably revolve around questions related to how social and public you are, as well as how willing you are to work tireless hours and be told no at 99.9% of the turns.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 08:08 AM) Well first, the subjectivity is certainly an issue, you are correct. Except no other candidate in either party in my voting lifetime has been telling people at their rallies to be violent against protestors - just Trump. If people can't see he's an exception, then those people are the problem. It's not a Dem or GOP thing, no one is acting this way towards Cruz or Sanders. Also, I honestly don't think protests like that one happening more often is necessarily a bad thing. As long as the fights can be minimized or not there at all, I think it is healthy. That is just it. They don't. And they have shown they are perfectly willing to cause problems, plus a group just showed them that this is an acceptable, and even praised political behavior. I can't wait until these people shut down Hillary rallies to prove what a coward she is, since she is the next anti-Christ and all. The problem is you are thinking rationally. You can't think rationally here.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 06:42 AM) Breitbart hates Trump. Ben Shapiro is probably the loudest and harshest critic he has and it's getting embarrassing for Breitbart to keep giving him a platform. Here's video of the incident: Come on Michelle. You're better than that. Maybe. Edit: oh apparently Ben Shapiro also resigned. Haha, that's great. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 09:04 AM) Breitbarts been dead for 4 years. Kinda contradictory, don't you think?

QUOTE (shysocks @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 09:08 AM) It all just seems like revisionist history to me. They lost because they lost. Who cares if they were sad. "Just win baby" is right. If the team is good, everything else will take care of itself. I swear if there is an underutilized area in baseball right now, it is what goes on between the ears. What is going on there has so much of an influence on everything else.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) Here is a list of references from a runners talk i did a few years ago. You should be able to find most. I couldn't get it to upload so he it is in a long post. Awesome, thanks!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 08:00 AM) That's pretty scary to me. What's to stop him from folding at the first sign of adversity again? He is referring to the team, not himself. He didn't fold.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 10:32 PM) Rodon, easily. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) Rodon every time. QFT

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Got an interview Wednesday morning with Northwestern Mutual for their financial representative internship. I am beyond nervous. Are you interested in sales?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 06:50 PM) No, I appreciate the words of caution. My larger concern is them blackballing us a bit more so than them sueing. I could also see that for sure. Hopefully it works out!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 06:22 PM) I don't think they would mind the business we'd be in...more so just leaving with some of their employees. The consulting business doesn't compete with their business. If you think you have a clear path, more power to you, and best of luck. Those are the big things I have seen in the trading industry that can pull down a new firm.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) Svedberg gets 2 year extension He gets 650k and 850k respectively, AAV of 750.

His ceiling is so incredibly high. The Sox are so set if he is even 80% of what he could be.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) Then what are you referring to? Here are some quotes that I found: I see nothing to be concerned about there, in fact I'm more encouraged than discouraged. He was just trying to hit his spots, which it sounds like he did. The results don't matter. The tough part of spring training is that these guys aren't always pitching to win. They often are out there working on something specific. If they have Latos working on something, (especially if they are trying to clean up a part of his motion), he could be throwing well, and still be getting hit because of it.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 02:47 PM) Most sports programs should be moving towards it. Many high schools around here are removing the passive stretching from the practice routine. I don't want to sound like I am doubting you, because I don't have boots on teh ground the way that you do, I am just blown away to hear that because it is 180 degrees different from anything I have ever heard. Is there a study or something out there I can read up on? Or at least one simple enough for a layman to understand?

QUOTE (PorkChopExpress @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 03:09 PM) Don't Lawrie and Ventura have some issues with each other? Who doesn't have issues with Ventura? He is a dbag.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) The PK is a major concern and one of the only ones the team actually has. The PK will get a lot better when Krueger gets back. Hopefully that is enough.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 03:52 PM) Kasich consistently polls better than Trump or Cruz vs Hillary. I'd consider him, but I don't see a real scenario where he wins the nomination.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 03:00 PM) Other than the sporadic instances of violence (there were very few of those, fortunately), it would be just as legal. For me personally, I feel it is justified with Trump because of just how dangerous he is. It's not about policy. I wouldn't find it useful or justified if it was against literally any other candidate. But that's my personal view, not a legal one. You make a good point on precedent, though. It could start happening more often. There is good and bad in that. I'd like to see people get more involved, to a point. A large chunk of the country feels that both Obama and Hillary are "dangerous" to the country. Danger has become a very subjective and loaded word in modern politics. The last thing I want to see happen is for the shutting down of the public political campaign process to the masses for the "protection" of the candidates, and the general public to be even more detached from the political process then they already are, with candidates being kept solely behind closed doors.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) Svedberg gets 2 year extension I wonder what it is priced at, because that could be a great deal.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) No you shouldn't unless you have a decreased range of motion that inhbits movement. Over the past decade or so research shows that stretching normal muscle not only causes more muscle injuries but actually decreases power and endurance performance. Instead of stretching, dynamic warmups and cool downs are much more effective. Interesting. You are the first person I have heard say that.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 02:06 PM) My name will be on my first ballot in April running for village board in my booming town of 1000 people. Pretty exciting stuff. It is a really cool moment the first time you see your name on a ballot like that. Good luck.
