Does anyone really think Jerry Jones would bench a star player if he took a knee? I'd love for someone to call his bluff.

I think taking an IQ test and challenge between Trump and Tillerson would set PPV records.

QUOTE (Quin @ Oct 10, 2017 -> 09:47 AM) Yeah, Tillerson is getting canned. A POTUS actually said that. Corker is correct, the WH is adult daycare, and he is a republican with no need to kiss Trump's ass, so it's not just liberals who see a gigantic problem with this idiot. I hope more republicans wake up and notice, supporting him really isn't helping them. He needs to go.

Trump now b****ing about NFL tax breaks. You have to be a great American like him not to pay taxes.

You can put it on the board..If the Astros lose this series, AJ Hinch is going to get destroyed.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 12:41 PM) Fivethirtyeight has some interesting comparisons of approval ratings between Trump and past Presidents. No surprise, his numbers look disastrous compared to everyone else besides Gerald Ford. It is funny the guy who rips everyone else and if applicable, never forgets to mention their ratings, has the worst ratings.

He always had that look to me. A guy who if he made $50k a year, couldn't get any chicks.To me he always looked like a casting couch guy who did his fair share of blow.

I wonder how much was spent on the Pence publicity stunt yesterday. Obviously not millions, but pissing away money nonetheless.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) While I agree with what you’re saying, the vast majority of people will not get rid of theirs guns at home no matter what the data says. I'm pretty sure if you were able to guarantee all families would always be safe and no innocent person would ever be shot or harmed in any way, which obviously could never happen, all people would have to do is turn in every gun they owned, millions would refuse.

Hanson can run and that's about it. He can't hit, he isn't a good fielder. Keep him around as long as you don't need the space, but chances are, when the team is good, he won't be able to make it.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 08:43 AM) FINALLY received my moviepass card in the mail. One thing to keep in mind if you are going to go on back to back days, pick the earlier film first. There is a one a day, but also a 24 hour waiting period.

For every time a gun in or around the home was used in self-defense, or in a legally justified shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides. That's one self-defense shooting for 22 accidental, suicidal or criminal shootings -- hardly support for the notion that having a gun handy makes people safer.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 10:48 AM) Trump Administration Set to Roll Back Birth Control Mandate The requirement that health insurance plans cover birth control is going to be axed today. I was an a train a few months ago, and some people in front of me were talking. They worked at an adoption agency. One of the women was saying how adoptions had dropped significantly since Obamacare became law. They were speculating the number of unplanned pregnancies went down due to the available birth control. In the long run, this will costs those companies that refuse to pay for it more. It's stupid. What Trump is doing to Obamacare is trying to make it suck even worse. Then he will will say, see I told you. It's junk. And millions will agree. I feel really bad for those who have to use it. It's only going to get worse, and then will eventually be replaced by something even worse.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 10:04 AM) I don't think it really matters if a teammate had a problem with him, he was annoying to fans for good reason. Like him breaking his foot "jumping off a truck". When Kopech actually is, you know, at the show and he misses games for doing that, I'm sure people will be annoyed then too. I think this thread is dumb, but so is the "you can't hate sale unless you also hated everyone ever that also did things!" He's a great pitcher who had a bad game. Anything other than that is a pure meatball.

Sale sucks. He's a psycho bad guy bad teammate with no balls who can't win big games. And Hahn should be fired for not getting more for him. What happens if Sale is unhittable next start? I do think the Sale as a bad actor thing is old. Yeah he ridiculously cut up some jerseys, but I've never read anything where any teammate ever had a problem with him. Quite the opposite. And if Sale is a bad guy, why would anyone like Kopech? He was suspended 50 games for PEDs and broke his hand fighting a teammate.

Saladino sucked, but until a roster crunch actually happens, there is no need to do anything with him. Who knows what trades will be made, and as of now, there is plenty of room on the 40 man roster. How much of his performance can be attributed to his back, and what is the prognosis? If his back injury isn't going to get better, and is the reason he sucked, sure waive him. But right now, why? Who knows what next year brings? . A healthy Saladino, and who knows if he ever will be healthy again, still may be better than a couple of guys who jumped ahead of him this year. It doesn't look good for him, but until the moment comes where a decision has to be made, why make the decision? There are still a couple on the Sox 40 man I would get rid of before him.

QUOTE (Soha @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 08:15 AM) Basabe was a lottery ticket that some scouts loved. Unfortunately for us, he went the wrong way once he came here. You win some and you lose some. He certainly wasn't very good this year, but he's 20 years old, and it wasn't like he was Courtney Hawkins bad. I'd wait a bit before writing him off.

If the Sox had hung on to Sale and he had the same regular season he had this year, they would still get a ton for him. It all depends on how these guys develop. If Kopech is a stud and Moncada is a stud, there shouldn't be any complaints. The other pieces were filler, maybe one works out. During a rebuild, it's probably not worth the risk holding him another year in hopes of a slightly better package. Too much can go wrong. If the offers were light, absolutely. That's what Hahn did with Q, and got what right now seems like a better package than the rumored Pittsburgh package that a lot of people liked. Right now, Kopech is way better than advertised. If he is a TOR guy, the Sox got great value. It all comes down to how they eventually perform, and nothing is guaranteed with prospects. Some of these guys are going to bust. The good news to me is a couple on no radar might actually develop into something. The one thing I took out of this season is there does seem to be hope the White Sox develop someone with not much fanfare into a useful player. It's been a while.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 07:21 AM) Clayton Kershaw has sucked in the postseason too, I guess nobody would want him on their team either. Yeah, the Sale bashing is lame.

Jim Kaat was interesting l he said his performance wasn't because he is a spaz or doesn't have the balls to pitch in the postseason. He said his arm angle was down a bit due to fatigue and it flattened out his pitches.

Sale is gassed.

Funny thing is, this guy was a law abiding citizen until he wasn't. I also love reading about other countries. No one has the guns the US does, and this type of thing doesn't happen as often. For the love of God, everyone packing a gun isn't going to make violence go away. Look at Chicago. It's gangs vs. gangs, both are armed. They are not deterred.

Trump had a wonderful time in Las Vegas according to his tweet.

The shooter had apparently reserved 2 rooms overlooking Grant Park at the Blackstone during Lollapolooza. He never showed up.
