My logic with him is, have him do some time, which he has done. I believe he's in a Club Fed so it's not like he's doing regular time anyway. And he poses no danger to society, so let him go home. Someone will hire him to do something I am sure. Maybe on the radio or internet. I don't think it should come down to a pardon. The question I have for Trump if these aren't a message to his friends in trouble, why now? If, as the stable genius claims, Blago should never have been jailed, why didn't he commute the sentence earlier, like when he was doing Sheriff Joe a solid?

Exactly. This he has to be up in the big leagues to develop properly is bunk. His development apparently wasn't stunted when he was hurt last season. It apparently wasn't stunted when he was hurt this season. I hope they send him to AAA and call him up a couple weeks into next year. It probably won't happen that way, but hurting his development is laughable. If he's the star we all hope, it won't hurt him at all.

WH demands apology, yet Ted Nugent gets a WH invite where he posed by a picture of Hillary Clinton. He's also said this in the past, without apology:: “You probably can’t use the term ‘toxic c***’ in your magazine, but that’s what she is. Her very existence insults the spirit of individualism in this country,” he said. “This b**** is nothing but a two-bit whore for Fidel Castro.” Nugent has stirred plenty of controversy with his remarks in the past, as when he spoke about killing then-President Barack Obama at a National Rifle Association meeting in 2012. He never apologized for that comment.

So tanking for Beer was fake news?

Looks like Colangelo's wife was behind the burner accounts.

A hitch isn't necessarily a bad thing. Fangraphs had an article about hitches a couple of years ago.

As long as we are playing whataboutism, why is it assumed Trump and his family are the first to have to deal with vile insults? Does anyone remember the attacks on Chelsea Clinton as a little girl? Are we forgetting how much crap Obama was given, even by the current guy who demands apologies but does exactly the same thing and has never apologized? I will give Trump credit for one thing. He can pull the wool over so many eyes. His trick is simple. Whatever he is trying to get away with he accuses others of doing, and everyone looks the other way.

D'Souza was convicted of campaign finance fraud, correct? Isn't that what Cohen is looking at?

I'm in the minority. I don't mind Blago getting out. He isn't violent, he isn't going to hurt anyone. He isn't going to be able to hold public office. He's just burning taxpayer money sitting in a cell. Let his daughters have their dad back is what I say. If there is concern, make him wear an ankle bracelet. And frankly, his crime IMO isn't exactly unique to him. I would imagine many politicians have tried to sell appointments. In fact, probably thousands have done what busted him and faced no penalty. Obviously not necessarily a Senate seat, but the exact same crime.

That's what I don't get. Who is going to be sitting there because they required $4 million?

Trump may commute Blogo's sentence.

Based on what he was beloved by black people? Also, Central Park 5. Here's some more of his racist history http://fortune.com/2016/06/07/donald-trump-racism-quotes/ You need to quit getting your Trump information from Trump. He is a known liar, has always been.

They were probably working on new pre-game dance routines. Losing is fung.

I just don’t understand how anyone thinks she should or would have gotten away with what she wrote. There would have been advertiser backlash for sure. They say it had nothing to do with it, and maybe it didn’t, but if they didn’t do anything, like OReilly, the show would have lost all of its sponsors and died. Several years ago, when I was living in a high rise, the condo association had a survey for unit owners. They did it through Survey Monkey, and had a poster by the elevators reminding owners to take the survey. Since it was survey monkey the person that made the poster had a picture of a monkey with reading glasses on typing on a keyboard in front of a computer. A couple of our African American doormen were offended by it and thought it was racist. Obviously they were assured it was not, but the poster was changed. Roseanne even after her apoplogy retweeted side by side pictures of Valerie Jarrett and Planet of the apes characters. She’s acked and deserved to go down in flames.

Because realistically Trump isn’t in favor of more black people who have committed even a very small crime on the street. What has he ever said or done that would suggest he would want fewer people locked up?

Defend Trump and defend reality? The only reality you defend when you back everything he stands for is reality TV. The only reform he wants is more non white people locked up. DNA clears you. Doesn’t matter, you’re black. Now Kim Kardashian and Trump are going to reform prisons and you are all about reality? The reality is if Obama or Hillary had she won sat down to talk prison reform with Kim Kardashian, your reaction would be just like mine is here. I will give him credit for one thing, he finally found someone to talk shop with that is more dense than him.

I always get a kick out of whenever you write this BS. You endlessly defend him, and rarely, if ever, find anything wrong with what he does, at least to the point if a person with a D after their name did the exact same thing.

I think Cincinnati, Baltimore, and KC are near locks to have a worse record than the White Sox by the end of the season. Miami is pretty awful too. The Sox might lose over 100 games and wind up with worse draft position than this season.

Lopez is been at least as good as anyone could expect. People were living a dream thinking Fulmer was the guy he was in September, look at him the rest of the year in the minors. They also were crazy to think Giolito was the guy he looked like when he was called up. He was pretty brutal in AAA. His advanced numbers weren't very good. I think it's fair to have expected them both to be a bit better, there really hasn't been evidence when you look at their overall body of work, that either is more than a 5th starter, if they are even that. It would have been nice to have been proven wrong, but it was easy to see. You just have to hope the flashes of dominance Lopez has shown can catapult him to that level. That Rodon comes back and is what we all expected him to be. That Kopech learns to pitch, and some of the others come through. Some have been calling the Sox prospects waves. The Fulmer, Giolito wave wasn't even a wave without Lopez.

Look at their record, and look at their schedule. They have played mostly crap teams. I thought for sure they were head and shoulders better than KC and Detroit. They probably will finish ahead of KC, but I think they may be in the top 3 of worst White Sox teams I have ever seen.

Lopez's ERA up to 3.80.

Just wait. Jason will be mentioning the Indians bullpen ERA soon.

The sooner someone hides anything Daniel Palka would use to field a position, the better.

They used to employ another one, Josh Phegley. Occupation catcher. Difficulties..catching pitches

What inning will Jason mention the Tribe's bullpen ERA?
