QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 7, 2018 -> 12:03 PM) They have put together a collection of younger talent, some showing signs of promise, some not so much. I think the last 14 goals had been scored by a youngster until Kane at the end of the game. If anyone is to blame for this year it's more of the guys with the big contracts, who almost all have no-trade clauses. Hoping it's just a bad stretch for #19 and not that he's breaking down already from all the hockey he played, playoffs and international included. I saw some of the pregram and coming into last night's game, the previous 13 goals were scored by guys 23 and under, and I think half their goals this year have been scored by guys 25 and under. So it is a rebuild on the fly. Except for Kane and Crawford, they have either really young guys, or guys they couldn't give away with their contracts. Maybe Saad, but it isn't exactly primo time to be trading him. The young guys are showing some promise. They have to somehow turn back the clock a bit and get Crawford back.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Feb 7, 2018 -> 02:21 PM) Mark Feinsand @Feinsand 3m Yolmer Sanchez won his arbitration case against the White Sox, per source. He'll make $2.35 million. The White Sox had countered with $2.1 million. Shocking to me they would go through that for $250k.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Feb 7, 2018 -> 01:10 PM) Lot of miles and a colossally bad trade sending Kyrie away. 99 times out of 100, whoever gets the best player in an NBA trade, wins the trade. Quality over quantity. No Kyrie, no Love, that team is the 1998-99 Bulls plus Lebron right now. It's horrible.

They knew he was a wife beater BEFORE they brought him on. 2 ex's showed evidence he abused them to the FBI.. He was hired anyway. Hope Hicks, you might want a new boyfriend. Now that it's out, he has to go. Another case where Trump only hires the best.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 7, 2018 -> 08:18 AM) Hell yeah, now the world will know we have a military! Maybe he can wear a Military uniform to the parade.

A co-worker of mine just found out he won $1 million on some second chance lotto game. How long until he blows it all?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 6, 2018 -> 10:51 AM) FEMA tapped Tiffany Brown, an Atlanta entrepreneur with no experience in large-scale disaster relief and at least five canceled government contracts in her past. FEMA awarded her $156 million for the job in Puerto Rico, then this happened FEMA Contract Called for 30 Million Meals for Puerto Ricans. 50,000 Were Delivered. Trump only hires the best. If Hillary were President, many Puerto Ricans would not get meals, and be without power for months....

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 6, 2018 -> 10:37 AM) I can't wait for Trump to call her a loser for losing both her legs in war and then for Republicans who usually worship anything military not say anything. It's too bad he weaseled out of the war. The military could have used his mind. Probably would have saved thousands of American lives, and ended the war sooner. He knows more than the Generals you know.

Tammy Duckworth en fuego: "We don't live in a dictatorship or a monarchy. I swore an oath—in the military and in the Senate—to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not to mindlessly cater to the whims of Cadet Bone Spurs and clap when he demands I clap," Sen. Tammy Duckworth tweeted Monday evening.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 6, 2018 -> 07:45 AM) Always liked this fit. He has to be better than anything they've had at 3B the last few years. I always liked Frazier. Now that he has added some walks, if he hits .240, he's a really good baseball player. He's already a pretty good player, and a bargain at that rate.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 5, 2018 -> 09:50 PM) How about you tell us in your infinite wisdom why the stock market has crashed for three consecutive days in a row? Simply algorithms and profit taking, right? According to Hannity, its Obama's fault. I am not making this up.

According to the NYT, Trump most likely won't be speaking with Mueller under oath, even though he would love to do so. Apparently his lawyers are afraid he might be caught lying. Thatuwhy these guys get paid what they get paid. Who would have possibly thought Trump might lie?

The should show him the video of Paul Ryan during Obama's last SOTU, and Trump's first speech last year when they said the exact same thing about infrastructure. Up and clapping with Trump. Sitting with a look of a kid who just got a week of detention with Obama. Treasonous.

The correction is on. Probably has something to do with Obama or Hillary.

Funny, Trump hasn't mentioned 401ks for several days. Using short term things to promote long term things many times blows up in your face.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 5, 2018 -> 09:24 AM) As for the halftime show. Justin Timberlake makes easy listening elevator music and I don't get his appeal at all. I laughed when I read this. I just took the elevator and JT music was playing.

How is Trump going to spin not releasing the Dems memo? You know he won't. Maybe he will use the it uses facts argument. Alternative facts are far better.

when is the last time Illinois played a basketball game where the officials weren't out to get them? I used to here it when watching games with my dad an UI grad and fanatic. My brother is the same way.

Urlacher deserved it for sure. I hope his hairplug place gives him a touch up before the ceremony. feom yesterday's videos we see why he is wearing a hat all the time these days. It is falling out in a large way.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Feb 3, 2018 -> 09:48 PM) Perhaps his time these past 37 years would have better spent as an executive of MLB rather than as owner of our White Sox, given these so-called accomplishments of which you speak have not led to the success of the White Sox organization. You're a one trick pony. I wish he could be more like Peter Angelos.

Paul Ryan actually tweeted about a secretary taking home an extra $1.50 a week from the very successful tax cuts. This is actually real. https://mobile.twitter.com/TeamPelosi/statu...sh%2Findex.html Ryan got a $500k campaign contribution from the Koch brothers for passing the bill. Maybe he can cover a few memberships.

President Trump told Congressional Republicans that Sen. Orrin Hatch once told him he was the “greatest president in the history of our country,” better even than presidents Washington and Lincoln. Not exactly, Hatch’s office quickly explained. “He said once I am the single greatest president in his lifetime, now he’s a young man, so it’s not that much,” Trump said. (Hatch is 83.) Trump elaborated: “And he actually once said I’m the greatest president in the history of our country and I said does that include Lincoln and Washington. He said ‘Yes.’ I said I love this guy. I love him.” A spokesman for Hatch, Matt Whitlock, later told TheWrap: “Senator Hatch has said that he would like to work with the President to make this the greatest presidency in history for the American people.” We asked: So he did not call him the greatest, as of now? “No he did not,” Hatch’s spokesman said. Trump’s speech Thursday came on the same day he was aggressively fact-checked for wrongly claiming the best State of the Union viewership ever. Someday his viewership “can be” the greatest, but as of now, it is not. Hatch has announced plans to retire (not because of this, he announced it before) leading to speculation that Mitt Romney may run for his seat. Could you imagine the outrage if this was Hillary or Obama saying this stuff? I saw a guy walking around last summer in a t shirt that had Trumps head on it and a WTF below. He is sick.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 2, 2018 -> 03:00 PM) McCain's a corrupt Democrat, of course hed say this. Its reaching McCarthy levels at this point, if you dont blindly love Dear Leader Trump, youre a Democrat. Ironically, Trump was a Democrat, but I assume they will attempt to change history. I heard Hatch said Trump was the greatest Republican President of all time. Hatch told him he could be the greatest president in history, obviously if he accomplished some things. Trump took it to be he was the greatest president in history with the most attended inauguration, and the most watched SOTU address. But Hatch could probably get whatever he wants now.

John McCain: “The latest attacks against the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests ― no party’s, no President’s, only Putin’s,” McCain added. “The American people deserve to know all the facts surrounding Russia’s ongoing efforts to subvert our democracy, which is why Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation must proceed unimpeded. Our nation’s elected officials, including the president, must stop looking at this investigation through the lens of politics and manufacturing political sideshows. If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him.”
