The Sexual Assault problem
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 11:53 PM) Read an article about the asshole who molested all the gymnasts and will rot in prison. Yay! That bastard. Anyhow the article said MSU may get the death penalty over this. And then I read another story that said the school may be forced to close. Simply shut down by the state if indeed everybody knew about that bastard doctor's behavior. Really? Is this possible? Yeah , they are going to have a crazy sale on lecture hall seats. C'mon man.

Brewers Acquire Christian Yelich & sign Lorenzo Cain
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 05:34 PM) Said no one ever? Well, there was this one poster who you know better than anyone The only way I can see Ellsbury being involved if it’s a three way deal with us. This would be a crazy ass trade but makes some sense for all teams. Brewers -Trade: Brinson, Diaz -Receive: Sanchez, Adams Yankees -Trade: Ellsbury, Adams, Andujar -Receive: Low level C prospect White Sox -Trade: Sanchez, low level C prospect -Receive: Ellsbury, Brinson, Andujar, Diaz

Boras feeling the heat?
The market for the huge contracts hasn't changed all that much. The Mets don't spend much anymore but that is on Madoff. Other than that, most of the teams that spend have spent. He just timed it wrong with so many guys and so many teams wanting to re-set their luxury tax situation and/or saving their wad of cash for next year.

Gun Violence in America
QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 01:52 PM) What proof do you have that he used them other than they were in the room. Nobody saw him shooting. Nobody knows what he did during the shooting. The aftermath shows platforms set up outside the window. You can't use a bump stock on a stand. You focus on some nitpicking point and go on all day but that's the truth. I think you ate up the NRA's cookie crumbs that made everyone look at bump stocks instead of semi-automatic weapons. LMAO. You concluded that bump stocks HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED IN LAS VEGAS, and write that. He used the guns with bump stocks attached. Audio analysis of one clip estimated that about 90 rounds were unleashed in only 10 seconds - far faster than a human being could repeatedly pull a trigger. Again, source?

Gun Violence in America
QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 01:36 PM) Those are separate posts. I didn’t say wanting bump sticks outlawed Id perverse despite your conflating. Look at the pictures from the hotel room. There are stands set up and guns propped. You can’t use a numb stock on a stand. They found bump stocks on 12 of his guns. If you google it, you can find pictures in about a half a second. Are you reporting they weren't used? Do you have a source? The guy had so many weapons and artillery in his room, he was breathing through a tube.

SoxFest First Time---What to Expect?
I am not an autograph type, but if you are, it's a good place to go. The seminars are usually stellar covering a wide range of stuff, albeit with a fair share of fluff. I am not going this year as it is completely sold out, used to love when it was about half the price and they gave season ticketholders half off that. But if you go, there definitely are things that will keep you satisfied. Always nice to be totally baseball for a few hours in January. Who knows, someone might convince you Dean Anna is ready to breakout. It's one of those things everyone should go to at least once. Chances are you will want to go again.

Gun Violence in America
QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 09:54 AM) What a perverse world you live in. Bump stocks had nothing to do with the vegas shooting and would have almost no effect on gun fatalities in America. You learned what a bump stock was the day after the Vegas shooting. They're a distraction. Huh? And apparently since it would only have a slight effect on gun fatalites, wanting them outlawed is living in a perverse world.

2018 Hall of Fame ballots out today.
Thome only behind Bomds, McGwire, Ruth and Giancarlo in HR %. Higher OBP than Rickey Henderson. All time leader in walk off HR. Same amount of postseason HR as Big Papi in 102 less plate appearances. Did it clean. He is more than worth. Very deserving.

He mentioned Hillary again. Sure seems nervous if you go by his quote, but he could just be losing his mind: "She didn't do it under oath, but I would do it under oath and you know she didn't do it under oath," he said. "Oh, I would do it under oath.

Jay Zawaski Verified account @JayZawaski670 2h2 hours ago More It's taken longer than I would like, but I can confirm @MarkLazerus's report that Corey Crawford has indeed been dealing with vertigo. The injury is legit. There is no "conspiracy" or "hiding" of some other issue. All the other stuff should be erased from this site.

14 shot, 2 dead at a Kentucky high school. A 15 year old student is in custody. What is it going to take for the NRA to lose it's influence?

2017-2018 NFL Thread
Hub was mentioning a safety at 8. Says the guys available at the other positions of need either aren't top 10 guys or will be long gone. Of course, this is really early in the process. Hub also believes when it is all said and done, Mason Rudolph will be the first QB selected.

**President Trump 2018 Thread**
No surprise, another Trump nominee "forgot" to disclose something. When will these people be held accountable for attempting to decieve? You fudge a resume, forget to include information for some clerk job, you get fired. For a Trump administration job, oh, forgot. Only hire the best. Drain the swamp.... : Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is a shareholder in a private Montana company that manufactures and sells firearms and advanced weapons materials, a financial interest he did not disclose when nominated last year

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jan 22, 2018 -> 01:06 PM) That's what pisses me off most about this administration. They cannot do anything on merit, just lie after lie and misdirection after misdirection. I'm a scientist, I guarantee I could find a way through that wall. =) You're right. But Trump only hires the best. The fight against the opioid problem is under great hands. Could you imagine if Obama hired someone like this? http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Trump-s...et-12512663.php
