Dick Allen

Since Rick Hahn has taken over as GM the Sox are 130 games,almost a full season, below .500. Their best finish in the AL Central, where they hold several advantages, is 4th place. To say another team would give him him the opportunity to do a total rebuild is silly. I get once they commit to the rebuild, they have to see it through, but the leash has to be short. If they aren’t contending in 2020,he has to go, and he can take KW with him.

So what do you think the truth is? I am guessing they want him to resign, throw firing him out there. He calls their bluff, and it's a "clearing of the air".

Lindsay Graham crying about the total collapse of the SCOTUS confirmation process. I wonder why he said nothing when Obama's nomination was ignored. You want someone confirmed, nominate a viable candidate, not the stereotypical drunk frat boy who with entitlement issues. The guy got into debt with baseball tickets? Then it suddenly dissappears? All very shady. Wouldn't financial issues be a huge issue when confirming any judge, let alone one in for the highest court? And then throw all these sexual issues on top of it....desperate times for the Trump party.

I was watching an interview with a Republican strategist. He said the first 2 years of the Trump administration will be known as the "calm" years. He really thinks it's going to only get more crazy.

Is he resigning or being fired based on the failing NYT fake news report about his comment about Trump and the 25th amendment? It is pretty funny how they pick and choose what is fake and what is not. It's all fake when they don't like it, but someone not loyal to Supreme Leader Trump, must go.

My feelings exactly. I was thinking how glad I was they did this gradually the last couple of years, instead of having him go from a full season to nothing. I am more prepared. I am going to miss him. It’s probably time, but I just wish he could have gone out with a better team.

I don’t even think Trump would be married to this guy , he really is a Bush guy after all, except for one thing, his view on indicting g POTUS.

All you need to know is lying to the FBI is a crime. The alleged victim wants an FBI investigation and to speak to them. Those pushing the confirmation want nothing to do with the FBI. It is very telling.

You aren't sending this guy to jail. You are trying to determine if he is fit for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. All these things factor in. If there is a really good likelihood this occurred, he is unqualified. Chances are, when and if they investigate, your conclusion is correct, and they won't be able to verify everything. But with something like this, making the effort to find out is important.

You can also speak to people she allegedly told previously. There are people who she told about this long before Kavanaugh became a household name and a candidate for the Supreme Court.

You are probably right, but at some point it has to turn at least a bit. Let's face it, a roster of 25 guys who have basically had their asses kissed every day of their lives because of their ability to play a game, is probably going to have its fair share of assholes. So it's understandable you aren't going to have a team filled with alter boys. But the line has to be drawn somewhere, and wife beating is a pretty good spot.

I always get a kick out of these things. Supposedly, Banister has a communication problem, yet he stuck around 4 years, and they extended him. I'm pretty sure if he managed the Red Sox, they would win over 100 games, and if he managed the Orioles, they still would be one of the worst teams of all time. I get the whole can't fire the team saying, but in the offseason, you can basically fire a good chunk. But he probably is just a guy like most, replaceable, would need another extension. IMO, the one time you can get burned with your basic manager is if he is tuned out because he is a lameduck, they probably figured that...move on to the next guy, and watch him win if they improve their roster, or lose if they keep it the same or get worse.

I do think when you are talking about Trump, it is an "us vs. them" situation. I usually vote democrat, but have voted for republicans in the past. Right now, I would never vote for a republican. That is a vote to leave Trump unchecked, because they are afraid. The guy isn't even republican and he hijacked the republican party. Anywhere but the US, I would find it fascinating. Here, it's just scary.

Right, because coming forward ruins your livelihood . These people who have made it, live quite a life. They don't want to risk it all for what could be nothing. His power would have overcome a couple of accusations and rumors. It took an army to take him down. It used to always confuse me why women who have been assaulted, women who have been beaten rarely came forward, but the me too movement has made that clear to me. I

The thing I don't get about the Trump party is what is an isn't proper behaviour, even a crime, depends on who you voted for. At least the Hollywood elites, and really I pay little attention to them for any sort of guidance, know when wrong is wrong. If Weinstein were a Trump supporter, he would have been a really great guy who had his life ruined by false comments.

Most of your stuff I agree with, but I don't really care about Hollywood. I will say, the right sure has no problem tar and feathering Weinstein (although I think he's scum), but using the criteria they use for anyone who appears to be a Trump supporter, he denies a lot of what he has been accused and his life is ruined by allegations that, if they were as bad as the victims claimed, Trump eloquently stated, they would have called the FBI right away.

So everyone is going to improve. I would love to live in that reality. In all seriousness, if that is what the team would be counting on, it's going to be a really long road to contention.

Siera seems like a pretty cool woman, but she does seem a bit clueless about baseball when she is on the air. And in case anyone wants to think I'm suggesting I feel that way because of her gender, that wouldn't be accurate. I think Leyla is pretty awesome on the same channel.

Guys Cordell's age getting their first crack at the major leagues, generally don't have much of a baseball playing future. There are some exceptions, but it doesn't appear he is one at this time. At the very least, his 40 man spot, if needed, is a no brainer. I doubt they would lose him anyways.

I am pretty sure they know there is a really good chance there are some other women with stories to tell out there. I think it is the biggest reason Trump, for the ,most part, has bit his tongue. Another comes out, their credibility skyrockets, and all of these so called republicans look like fools trying to rush ‘this through. It wouldn’t leave enough time to confirm another candidate, and hurt them trying to keep control. For Trump, and the Trump party, it’s Kavanaugh or bust IMO.

It's becoming quite clear at least what this guy was, and if people want to say that was then....they had a federal judge on last night, and for their background checks, if they ever did drugs harder than pot, they were disqualified. This is the SCOTUS. Not elected, lifetime appointment. It should be only the best. You might not politically agree, obviously no one is going to be like that, but you have to be of the highest character. There is no way this guy qualifies. These hijinks aside, he has clearly lied under oath, something else that should disqualify him from this job.

He measured 6 feet and 7/8th of an inch at the NFL combine. But what would they know? I actually saw Cade McNown at the Chop House after a Bears game once. I think it may have been his first game. I can't remember how tall he was but definitely taller than 5'10". I would have remember him being that short.

Once again, don't believe what you see in September.

Yes. To get in the park, you will need a game ticket. I think you can go in and out of there. I have been there several times over the years when someone had freebies, but mostly when it was cold or raining so we just watched the game and drank and ate the comp pretzels and peanuts, or for a pre game meal, so I never really left and came back.

You pay for a ticket for the game, you pay for a ticket to get in there, and you pay for the food and drink. It's nice, I think they give out the memberships free now to full season ticketholders with premium seats, and it comes out to $3-4 a game for partial plans, and not so premium seats.
