QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) I don't think there's any way he coaches on a 1 year deal. Even if it's just a 1 year extension, they'll add a year. He's not Ozzie Guillen, and I don't see it happening this year, not with the type of season they have had.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) So people who disagree with your extreme pessimism are just refusing to accept "reality"? Pessimism doesn't always equal "realism", nor does it mean your opinion is somehow more valid or correct, yet in your posts it seems like you think this is the case. Welcome to social media where "keeping it real" has become an acceptable substitute for substantive conversation and facts.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 10:14 PM) Getting a proper feel for our young players is probably more important than the pick at this point. 100% true.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 12:13 AM) Oh no, that one is on the other side of town. Yeah, that one combines dumb with lazy. Alexei plays hard, but has no baseball IQ. Given the choice, give me the hard playing dummy.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 10:54 PM) I think what you all overlooked during this exchange that sources connected to Kane are saying there is absolutely no settlement talks going on. Its either believe lawyers or believe the media. Kinda makes you feel dirty, don't it.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 07:15 PM) Not according to radio and their twitter How weird, they did a first pitch, and then had a rain delay? I can't say I have ever seen that one before.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 06:53 PM) And of f***ing course they announce delayed game by an hour. Sounds like they are starting on time.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 06:23 PM) Some examples please? lol, seriously? Go back and read. If you don't believe it, don't believe it. It isn't like I made up some study to justify my position here.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 06:00 PM) You cannot attribute discussion for "public shaming." Very few people in this thread have shamed this woman, whatever that even means, in this thread. We've been discussing and speculating as to what occurred, but I don't recall a whole lot of posters suggesting she should not have reported this if indeed she was raped. I have read the same stuff here and have a completely different opinion on what is being said... and I don't feel I am alone in that viewpoint.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 05:45 PM) Because of threads like this, people do not report rapes? Public shaming is absolutely the top reason rapes do not get reported.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 05:09 PM) That's what they said for accusations or reported date rape incidents. I'll find the link when I get back to my office. Ill add something I mentioned before that the difficulty in proving or finding evidence for these types of crimes surely inflates whether or not people got prosecuted for their crime or even get moved past the reported stage. That alone could inflate any number and provide a bias for this type of research. Its a crime where many DO get away with it unfortunately It is also BY FAR the most underreported crime out there, exactly because of threads like this.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 05:06 PM) Oh I thought we were randomly quoting words like you did. It doesn't specifically say how many got to grand jury. But you are more than welcome to check on that. The 41 percent was specifically mentioned as a cross section based on a decade of research from 94-04. I was quoting your words, since you didn't attach any actual information to it. Again, do you have an actual study, or just more shaming?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 04:47 PM) "Many" You cited a study, do you have any actual details, or is this urban legend?

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 5m5 minutes ago Robin Ventura, who is under contract for 2016, said he "absolutely" wants to manage White Sox next season.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 04:17 PM) I think he'll get $150-$175 million. With the big lack of offense this winter on the free agent market, he is going to be getting a HUGE deal. With the season we just had, I don't see any reality that allows the team to spend like that on another player, nor do I see the franchise wanting to give out a 7 or 8 year deal.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 03:09 PM) And it hasnt gotten off the ground yet. I've seen where almost 41% of date rape cases are falsely accused or reported. Thats an extremely high number and many of those were taken to trial and prosecuted. Its not outside the realm of possibility whatsoever. What percentage of those "false" cases get to a grand jury?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 03:03 PM) Sure or a ton of circumstantial evidence while no real crime took place. It happens all the time, people go to trial with assumptions vs actual evidence. People are wrongfully convicted on shoddy "evidence" all the time. If there is a complete lack of physical or corroborating evidence outside of witness testimony, a rape case of this stature doesn't even get off of the ground. No DA would have even touched this because of their own political career.

I see no scenario which has us spending $100 million on a free agent. I think our big move will be to send Quintana out for a young stud 3B. Past that, it is all roster filling.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) Fair enough but you can also be completely innocent and proven not guilty as we have seen happen so many times. Completely innocent would also mean that there was a pretty big lack of evidence to go with it, which would mean a lack of a case in a crime that is already notoriously hard to prove.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 02:36 PM) So is there any threshold where you think Kane should be able to move past this if he isnt convicted or should he have to go through the rest of his life being known as a rapist? Your statement works both ways also. Settling out of court and being guilty are also not the same thing. Settling out of court allows people to see what they want to see, but it does allow for doubt to be introduced either way. The difference being all kinds of trail related detail won't be drug out in public with a settlement that would in a trial.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) Why? Because "proven innocent" isn't something our legal system does. You can be proven not-guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, even when completely guilty. We have seen it happen so many times.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 02:21 PM) Or its easier to pay off now than sit through a long trial even if you are proven innocent.. See the third paragraph.
