Price is another POS. I would love for a republican to call this s*** out. One of his final moves to hinder the ACA is the HHS’s shuttering of the federal health insurance exchange HealthCare.gov every Sunday for 12 hours during the open enrollment period, which goes from Nov. 1 to Dec. 15.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 11:23 AM) Frankly I'm surprised he isn't latching onto ISIS' claim that they were responsible. I have often wondered why he sends his prayers and condolences when some people are killed, but when they go down on the south side of Chicago and are a different color skin than him, it's "what the hell is going on in Chicago?"

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 11:15 AM) Pretty sure its hard to shoot a gun without bullets. Whats done is done is a bulls*** cop out and so is trying to point at mental health as the cause. Back in February: President Donald Trump quietly signed a bill into law Tuesday rolling back an Obama-era regulation that made it harder for people with mental illnesses to purchase a gun. The rule, which was finalized in December, added people receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses and people deemed unfit to handle their own financial affairs to the national background check database. Not that it would necessarily have prevented this tragedy, but 2nd amendment baby! The answer to gun violence is more guns.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 11:06 AM) None of this will happen or impact the presence of guns. What's done is done. The streets are littered with guns and gun culture is as American as Apple pie. That's not going to change. Addressing mental health is something that can make an impact. The rest is just drivel to employ politicians and distract the masses. Mental health and guns is also a political issue.

Those crazy Puerto Ricans, have their entire island destroyed by a hurricane, and want everything done for them. Hey caddie, will you clean my ball?

I really like Nick Madrigal. If he could develop a little power, IMO he may be the best player in this draft. He can hit, I've read where many think he can stick at SS. A smart player, a great baserunner, although doesn't have Moncada speed. I would worry about TA later, and let all that stuff sort itself out. But we will see what happens next season.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 07:31 AM) This is really easy guys. If they didn't think he was ready to play then he wouldn't be the #2 QB on game days. Yeah, I would agree making him the back up and saying he isn't ready totally contradict each other. But, if he did play up until now, he wouldn't have been gameplanned for, and it probably would have helped. The one thing they liked about Glennon was a lack of turnovers. That blew up in their faces.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 12:55 AM) ok...I'll just say...I disagree with your opinion (that you keep repeating like a broken record). So your opinion is he's not ready (regardless of the fact you stated you'd like to see him start)...lol ok. Again...we'll find out next monday. But keep throwing out the word "irrelevant". You don't think guys like Hicks standing up and stating "changes need to be made and to make changes that put the team in a better position to succeed" aren't directed at Glennon and the coaching staff?!?!? hahahaa...geezus. If that's not a damning statement...not sure what to tell ya. I'd venture to say he's not the only one that feels that way...and whether you agree or not...those opinions do matter. And I'd venture to say they see it every day in practice...those comments are pretty telling I'd say. It's called "losing a team" from a coaches standpoint. Sorry...if you can't see that. And fyi...my answer as to why he should be playing is based on what I've seen from Trubisky to date and his abilities (as many others have)...in my opinion he's ready...and yes...he'll make mistakes. But won't look like an incompetent boob out there like Glennon has. So quit twisting my words to fit your narrative. Seems Watson is ready down in Houston with his 5 td passes today (and honestly he looked completely unprepared in preseason). Kizer...meh...bad example. Russell Wilson was ready. Jameis Winston was ready. Trubisky has shown he's very capable. If you think it's better to handle him with kid gloves...cool...your opinion. Again...we'll find out soon enough. No offense..but I like my option/opinion much better as well...and so does most of Chicago sans a few. If they throw him out there and he looks completely over his head...I'll admit I'm wrong. But I wont' judge on one game. But it's time to move forward with him... Why is Keizer a bad example? Is it because he doesn't fit your narrative? Tom Brady appeared in 1 game his rookie year. Brett Favre appeared in 2. Rogers didn't start his first 3 years. Admittedly, they weren't behind Glennon, but they turned out to be better than what they were behind. What the consensus is with the fans is irrelevant. Most loved they hired John Fox. Not anymore. Ryan Pace was praised constantly. Not anymore. There is no question as a fan Trubisky would be a lot more interesting to watch, be he is a guy who has started 13 games since high school. This isn't a playoff team. doing what will make him better next year and 5 years from now is more important than making the game more interesting for me to watch right now. It has really shifted. People wanted the Bears to lose, lose, lose for draft purposes. Now, they still have a s***ty team with no receivers, and no shot at the playoffs, but that seems to have changed.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Sep 29, 2017 -> 04:25 PM) This is one theory. The problem with that is most pitchers back then didnt make it to the MLB. The got hurt in the minors. Only the pitchers that could tolerate that workload survived. That isnt an option today with more teams and more pitchers needed. I think its more that pitchees today focus too much on throwing too hard too often. There is no pacing themselves to gog deep in games. They burn themsleves out in 5-6 innings and put too much stress on the arm. I have always thought if there were no speed guns on scoreboards or on TV screens, the game would be totally different.

Trump still hasn't implemented Russia, Iran, and NK sanction law.

Trump twitter attacks San Juan mayor as she begs for help. Then it will be off to golf.

The problem is the receivers will be the same. If they throw Mitch in there, he may do worse than Glennon. I feel sorry for him. Expectations are that he is a HOFer, and he has A York high school like receiving corp. Glendon has sucked. No one except maybe Jim Miller will tell you otherwise. But the Bears QB is set up to fail, just like Fox is. Fox has to win to save his job. They gave him a roster with little talent, and used their best asset on a guy they didn't want him to play. Belicheck could be named the coach tomorrow and they would still suck really bad. You will know the Bears are serious about actually winning when guys like Kevin White aren't counted on to remain healthy for more than 5 minutes.

If he could be the White Sox version of Big Papi, that would be most excellent. But I am pretty sure he is gone if the price is right. They could always bring him back.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 29, 2017 -> 10:58 AM) Apparently Kelly hasn’t been able to get Trump to understand that Puerto Rico is part of the US. THEIR government is OUR government Just remember, when Stern asked them what 17 X 6 equaled, Donny Jr., Ivanka, and POTUS were 0 for 3. As smart as he claims he is... First of all, can you explain to us why Sudan was removed? And second of all, how does the travel ban work in North Korea that doesn’t allow their people out of the country?” a reporter asked, according to a White House transcript. “Well, the people ― yeah, the people allowed ― certain countries ― but we can add countries very easily and we can take countries away,” Trump replied. “What did Sudan do right?” the reporter pressed. “And as far as the travel ban is concerned, whatever it is, I want the toughest travel ban you can have,” Trump continued. “So I’ll see you in Indiana. We’re going to go over some more points that have not been talked about. Are you all going? Is everyone going?” I bet there are a ton of bankers laughing their asses off when Trump keeps bring up Puerto Rico's debt and how that will be handled.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 29, 2017 -> 10:12 AM) A New Study Shows Just How Many Americans Were Blocked From Voting in Wisconsin Last Year Trump won the state by 22,748 votes. Fake news. They aren't even mentioning the millions upon millions of illegal votes placed. And every single one of them was for Hillary.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 28, 2017 -> 04:36 PM) Do I do it? Yeah I'm doing it. Anyway, counting on Rodon to contribute to the next White Sox competitive team right now is a gamble. Hopefully between Fulmer and Rodon we can at least get 1 starting pitcher out of those 2 drafts. I wonder if Rodon might be able to pull things together out of the bullpen, that slider might be really effective in short bursts. Es Funny I got suspended for doing this.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 28, 2017 -> 05:18 PM) People predicted injury issues for him when he was drafted (not me). I guess Sale is next up. If you predict every pitcher will get hurt, you will be right a lot more than wrong. Look at the 2 selected instead o Rodon. Its one reason Theo takes hitters high. Hopefully the team is being straight on the surgery and recovery. They hav n't been very forthcoming with injuries recently. And it isn't a bad time to be out 6-8 months

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 28, 2017 -> 04:02 PM) Well there's your answer: Chicago White Sox‏Verified account @whitesox If all goes as expected, he would rejoin White Sox rotation as soon as Opening Day or late as June 1. So in WhiteSox speak,that is An August target date. Shoulder surgery are the 2 worst words for a pitcher other than amputation and death. Hopefully this was,the best case scenario and he can move past it quickly.

If it's true that it is Rodon, and he's missing next season, he's done.Major shoulder injuries don't get fixed. So hopefully, if it is him, it's something that isn't all that major.

Why make the filthy rich pay taxes at all?

Mnuchen says the tax cuts would cut the deficit over $1 trillion. Who knew any problem with deficits and jobs, was just making the rich pay trillions less in tax? Everything will be fixed.

One thing you don't want from a Trump is them doing the math: On an April 16, 2004, interview with Stern, Trump shares that he turned down several reality-show offers because “I didn’t want to have anybody watch me comb my hair,” while in an interview conducted on Feb. 27, 2006, Donald, Ivanka, and Don. Jr. can’t figure out the answer to what 17 x 6 is. “96? 94?” offers Don Jr. “That’s not a practical application, though,” adds Ivanka, refusing the question. “It’s 112,” chimes in Donald, who repeatedly insists that the answer is 112.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 28, 2017 -> 10:16 AM) Trump has now insisted multiple times and across multiple days that there's a Senator in the hospital and that's why they don't have enough "yes" votes for healthcare right now. There is no Senator in the hospital. If your 70 year old relative were behaving this way, it'd be time for concern. How about last week when he was at hurricane Irma site and told the audience Melania really wanted to be here but she couldn't make it, and she was standing right next to him?

Trump finally waived the shipping restrictions for Puerto Rico. Now, was that so hard?

Trump advisor can't guarantee taxes won't go up for some middle class families: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-advis...ory?id=50149729 So there it is. How are you going to pay for tax cuts for people who already have more money than they will ever need? Take it from people who need it. It's all BS. Yesterday a Trumpite was saying it would be "paid for" by the robust economy it would produce. OK. More trickle down economics. Just because it was BS before....
