This sums up 2015 better than anything. Brandon Warne ‏@Brandon_Warne 12m12 minutes ago Zack Greinke has given up 36 earned runs this season. Jeff Samardzija allowed 33 earned runs in August.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 14, 2015 -> 02:12 PM) Barring a special session, the Kentucky legislature won't meet until January (many state legislatures are part-time). Which is why the contempt of court and jailing should have happened, and should happen again with more interference.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 14, 2015 -> 12:31 PM) This is like Jesse White refusing to issue drivers licenses to LGBT's and then asking that his name not be on them if they are issued to LGBT's. I mean, this is so f***ing absurd. Just impeach her ass already This is what needs to be done more than anything else.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 14, 2015 -> 01:27 PM) I haven't watched any of Sale's starts against the Twins this year...so why exactly is he getting lit up against Minnesota? Do they know about him tipping his pitches or something? This was a thought I had yesterday as well. It is the one thing that makes a lot of sense.

Joel Quenneville's Mustache 1 hr · Hawks have agreed with Daniel Paille and Jan Hejda on professional tryout contracts. They will be at training camp.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 14, 2015 -> 08:49 AM) Of course someone will do that. It's a valid question - if the office signs the licenses but without Davis' name on them, are they still valid? Sucks that we have to even figure this out, but that appears to be where we are. From a technical standpoint, they probably are illegal. It will be interesting to see because of the Supreme Court ruling, if they are upheld or not.

Nice .475 BABIP.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 06:15 PM) Yeah, if we decide to keep the house and change the deed to us as homeowners plus also turn in the most recent appraisal of 25k then property taxes should only be $250. Which is insane considering where they were. Could be a nice little blessing in disguise if we can come up with the 10k. Still gonna do draftkings hoping for a miracle. I pride myself on being a good guy so I need Karma to have a conversation with the football gods about cashing in all the good karma I've collected over the years. (Greenish) One thing to remember is that appraisal isn't necessarily the net assessed value used for property tax purposes. The appraisal can be used to argue for a NAV, but it isn't the same thing.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 04:47 PM) I'd imagine more are going to start falling off soon. Trump's sucking all the oxygen out of the room and none of the lower-polling candidates can get any traction. The more, the better. The quicker the Republicans can narrow down to the best 'not trump' candidate, the better.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 04:48 PM) i just want to complain about Sprint because f*** them. My connection has been so bad for the last month, it goes from 1x to LTE to 3G back and forth all day long. Texting has been slow, videos buffer and take forever. I am so annoyed with them right now I have had sprint forever and had just gotten used to their s***ty network apparently. About a year ago I got a phone for work through Verizon, and I can't believe how much better their network is. When my contract is up, f*** sprint.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 08:38 AM) 6. games. back. Not even in 2nd place. Let me put it this way.... The White Sox are only 6.5 games out of a playoff spot.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 05:06 PM) The NFL and Patriots have given everyone zero reasons to believe them. So, enjoy the slanted articles and bad press, you earned it See also MLB and steroids.

Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor 24m24 minutes ago Rodon will skip next start.#WhiteSox

MLB ‏@MLB 9m9 minutes ago Reds 1B Joey Votto suspended 2 games, fined for his actions during Wednesday's game. Votto will appeal. http://atmlb.com/1F2MO4X

Rick Perry is leaving the race.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 04:25 PM) https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/642447728153333760 That'll teach you to lose a bet to Ed Farmer.

Jack Curry ‏@JackCurryYES 4m4 minutes ago Cashman just told reporters at Stadium that Teixeira is done for the season. The latest MRI showed a fracture. Recovery time is 3 months.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 02:28 PM) Reason is it is slotted you knew the answer before you asked. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 02:33 PM) They could still draft cheaper if they wanted to, even when slotted. To save money. They haven't. It has absolutely nothing to do with slotting. There is no floor to slotting. They don't have to spend that money. The only penalties are for going over, not under.

Comcast SportsNet ‏@CSNChicago 11m11 minutes ago #WhiteSox activate reliever Zach Putnam from the disabled list - http://bit.ly/1gfLT5r

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 01:53 PM) We didn't exactly cover ourselves in glory with Jewish refugees during the 1930's and 40's either. Yeah, that list is not exclusive by any means. For a country of immigrants, we have always been pretty anti-immigrant.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 01:48 PM) I can't speak for all of you, but it's hard to look at family history and our stories of "ancestor grabbing last boat out of x-war-torn-country" and then look at these and be like "naw f*** it let it be hungary's problem" It's also funny to me just thinking about how hysteric our country would be if it actually had to deal with all of the human displacement that comes from our foreign policy adventurism. Though it is the same history repeating itself. 19th century America was frought with all of the same anti-immigration, and anti-specific nationalities during their respective periods of heavy immigration. Two off of the top of my head would be the Chinese and the Irish.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 01:32 PM) But they don't deal with western culture, they just stay happily in their own culture. There is no melting pot anymore. The number we can take safely is zero. The melting pot thing is all a myth anyways. Why do you think places like NYC and Chicago have all of the ethnic neighborhoods? Places like Little Italy, Chinatown, Germantown, etc existed for a reason. The older generations didn't come here and assimilate, learn English and all of that crap. They took the worst jobs that no one else wanted, and the largely stuck to their own neighborhoods, speaking the old language and culture. It was their children who assimilated. They were the ones who learned English and American culture. They did the talking for their parents. It is still like this today.

David Haugh 6 mins · Twitter · Salary-cap move made: ‪#‎Blackhawks‬ acquire D-man Dennis Robertson, Jake Massie, 2017 pick from 'Canes for Kris Versteeg and Joakim Nordstrom.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) The ONLY reason draft picks have been better is change in CBA. Sox would still be drafting the cheapest player possible, nobody spent less 5 years prior to CBA change than the Sox. If that were the case, why aren't they still drafting the cheapest player possible?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 01:12 PM) I think I liked the article because it summed me up. I also don't ever think of myself as a millennial but I am glad...I'd rather be called a millennial and then a Gen Xer And your comment above, absolutely sums me up. I have zero faith / belief social security will be around and I wish the youth around the country would rise up and support wholesale reform that might actually ensure some of us get something for everything we pay into. I've also long been a proponent of me managing my own retirement (vs. paying it into the social security black box), but I also completely understand why it is a horrible idea, because I've seen how most people manage their money and it is deplorable and sad. And for all I know, I manage my money deplorably (and am just too ignorant to realize it). Oooh look, new Iphone!
