2018 MLB Draft
If it is a hitter, no question, I agree. I would take Mize or Singer also. Madrigal is someone I believe can’t be screwed up. If he were 4 or 5 inches taller, he would probably be the consensus 1-1. This is baseball, he isn’t a 6’3” power forward or a 180 lb middle linebacker, take the baseball player.

I really am not too sure. I guess when it loads up, it loads up a little more on the debit card than the actual price of the ticket, so maybe that way. And I don't see how they could even buy a 3D movie. On my app, it always says they are unavailable anyways. I wouldn't be so stupid to buy popcorn and lose a $9.95 see all the movies you want deal, especially since you load up on the Stubs program anyway and get free stuff.

Rangers @ White Sox, Fister @ Shields, 5/17, 7:10 PM, NBCH, GT
I hope it warms up by game time. It is freezing in downtown Chicago right now.

They said it was some sort of fraud prevention. That I was "chosen" for the beta group. They are saying people are using it to watch 3D movies, seeing the same movie twice, using it for concessions. I have only used it for the correct movie and had no idea you, at least for a while could see the same movie twice. Personally, I think it's a way they are trying to keep people from seeing more movies, especially crap you would never even consider without the pass, since it costs them every time and they supposedly have a cash crunch right now. It only inspired me to use it more.

Any other Moviepass people out there have to take pictures of their tickets now? WTF.

2017-18 official NBA discussion thread
I saw some highlights of this guy. Obviously not as athletic as most of the top guys, but he knows what he is doing on a basketball court.

So let me guess, you don't get any of your information from what anyone could consider biased journalism.

According to this, uninsured are twice as likely to die in the ER than insured. I thought everything is the same. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uninsured-twice-as-likely-to-die-in-er/

Race for the worst 2018 record (Top 5 pick) again
If the Sox do get a top 5 pick again, that will mean they have had a 3, an 8, a 10, an 11, a 4 and a top 5 in 6 years, and still would have an average at best system without the trades. Larry Himes rebuilt the White Sox with a 5, 7, 10, and 4.

Yes he did. Supposedly you get the same care. LMAO. There was a 60 minutes story on this. Some hospital in LA used to dump the non insured a block or so away from another hospital, And I am sure the people with no insurance or bad insurance get the same care as those with the best plans. Just ask the mom who has a United Health plan that denied her liver transplant. If what he claims is true, why have insurance?

**President Trump 2018 Thread**
Is there a breaking point in number of lies or crimes committed or conflicts of interest when the right will actually turn on Trump? I always thought there was, but I am beginning to think there is not. Some will jump ship but not enough to remove him from office before his term ends.

Yes. He being an enabler at the very least makes his quote the pot calling the kettle black.

White Sox vs Pittsburgh 11:35 AM CST
If they played .500, they would be 71-90 going in to the final game of the season. I am going out on a limb and say , no chance they win that many. It' also 3 or 4 fewer than what I believe they would win considering the horrid division.

White Sox vs Pittsburgh 11:35 AM CST
They did it for Avilan. He sucks too. And the guy KC had to give up to the Dodgers to take Soria is horrible as well. Jake Peter might be the best player, but where is he going to play, and even if you had a spot, I don't think anyone is losing sleep he is no longer with the team. Crap for Crap for Crap.

White Sox vs Pittsburgh 11:35 AM CST
I would rather they keep them down until the control clock gives them an extra year next year. No reason to have them up with this crap, when you can get an extra year of control when they supposedly are good, and if they suck, if these guys are any good, they are better trade assets with that extra year. If the plan is to be good next year, then call them up. If not, it's really a waste.

Gun Violence in America
At the Daley Center, there was a piece of art that looked like a Divvy rack except no bikes. AR15s were docked in the spots instead. Gunsharing. It was removed after 1 or 2 days. I think they said it was some sort of permit issue, but that doesn't make much sense.

That's what I don't get. The guy has never been held accountable a day in his life. Yet no one calls people or entities dishonest more than he does. And he's being dishonest when he says it.
