  1. Larry Himes did do a very quick rebuild and won 94 games with the lowest payroll in baseball. JR didn't like him, but pound for pound, his GM performance with the White Sox is as good as anybody's.
  2. What is the realistic chance the Bulls ever compete for a title again? Don' they basically have to luck out and draft an icon? Free agent wise, Chicago isn't going to be a destination. Maybe they realize this and figure 45-55 wins and a series or two in the playoffs is the most realistic.
  3. Not only that, but the security of the rich ballplayers would be a huge concern.
  4. What is the longest Robert has gone without getting hurt? I know these injuries aren’t all that serious in nature, but the consistency of them has to become a concern pretty soon. If you are hurt all the time when you are 20; I don’t see how that projects to being relatively healthy down the line.
  5. Chris Sales last 4 starts 27 IP 10 hits 3 runs 7 walks 44 strikeouts
  6. His RF defense was panned his last couple of years, and when he was signed, he started off slow and was Jermaine Died. Frank Thomas was slammed on this board. Eventually, if they are around long enough, every player will be hated at some level by at least a few.
  7. I get that, but since they can’t show the games, team produced content probably wouldn’t play as well as the stuff out there now especially if they aren’t a good team. People will eat up the fluff if you are winning, but if you aren’t and there are other choices that could be a problem.
  8. Hers something that might be behimd a paywall, but sort of throws everything in the air. The Cubs will probably start their own network, I am guessing they are hoping the Bears join them. Bears programming would work out pretty well IMO. The only problem they may have is it could be too homer, and not so unbiased coverage. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-cubs-tv-channel-fox-rsn-future-20180625-story.html
  9. The head of the NRA has been calling for the stomping out of journalists as well. She denied it, but the video is all over the internet.
  10. Larry Kudlow on State TV, err Fox, today said the deficit is coming down drastically. Unfortunately for Trump's top economic advisor, the truth is just the opposite,
  11. The problem is, when you state facts, it's considered fake news if it isn't praising Trump. The facts are, he lies a lot. Once you are caught lying, not just once, but hundreds and thousands of times over, what you say isn't taken as truth. That's true if you are in politics or an 8 year old kid. Trump invents wars with people, getting them to what his supporters would call ganging up, and it works. When people here gang up on Greg, it doesn't work to his advantage like Trump. Facts and truth don't matter anymore. People will hear what they want to hear.
  12. I agree. Seems this guy has had some issues for quite a while. But Trump's" the press is the enemy "certainly didn't help. Whether it hurt, we will probably never know. I wonder thoughif this will silence that part of his shtick .
  13. They seem to love each other. They now live in the same building. I
  14. He's just about exactly the same as he's always been, except with more walks.
  15. Exactly. Same philosophy as always. Either they are going to use him against Lavine or they are trying to get to a roster that might make the second round of the playoffs and that's good enough for them. I don't know what the deal is with Rodney Hood. Everyone seems to love him, and when he has a horrible game, everyone makes excuses for him.,
  16. “He felt confident in me to make the right choice and carry on his great legacy,” Trump, visibly energized, told a packed arena in Fargo. “That’s why he did it … Justice Kennedy is a star.”
  17. Russia says it did no meddling, that's good enough for Trump. The crooked and shady FBI and CIA need to be investigating Hillary. FBI, CIA, Canada, EU....bad. NK, Russia, good.
  18. A sprain is technically a tear or a stretch I believe, so when he recovers, something will need to change or it seems rather likely the situation will occur again.
  19. The stock market was 152 points away, one decent day, from tripling under Obama’s presidency. Yet, according to the right he was one of the worst presidents of all time. There will most likely be a recession under Trump. That is just historical odds. How bad it will be is the question. Trump has everyone believing the election he won by having over 3 million less votes than his opponent was a historic landslide victory. It really wasn’t. Personally, I think dems need to win some of these midterms or he will go unchecked for a couple more years due to republicans being scared of him. But the next presidential election is going to come down to MI,WI, OH, FL, just like this last one. I just hope dems have a candidate who can relate and flip those states. I think Bill Maher is a little out there on several things. But I agree with him on at least one thing. If Trump loses the next election, getting him out of the White Hiuse is going to be a tall task. He won’t voluntarily leave. He was already calling the last election a fraud and he won. Things might be really ugly in January 2021.
  20. Which then bows down to Trump and gets him deals on his company's projects.
  21. You are under their trance. It's amazing you don't see all the lies and hypocrisy coming from Trump and your new hero Sarah. If she treats people like she would like to be treated, getting thrown out of a restaurant should be right up her alley. Have you seen her with the press?
  22. The Art of the Deal. Total denuclearisation , sleep easy tonight. No threat. Where is Trump's ticker tape parade? North Korea is carrying out rapid improvements to its nuclear research facility, a monitor said on Wednesday, despite declaring a commitment to denuclearisation of the peninsula at the Singapore summit.
  23. She broke ethics laws tweeting it Greg. And do you really think she had no idea what Trump would do? It's absurd to think no.
