September Call Ups
QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 2, 2017 -> 01:48 PM) Rymer Liriano has been added to the 40-man. He thanks Leury Garcia. I am confused. Why did they put Leury on the DL? Rosters have expanded. Maybe there is no way he can play in 10 days, but isn't it pretty unnecessary?

Gonzalez to Rangers
63-65 4.22 ERA with the White Sox. I hope the Sox young guys are better than that.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
Donald Trump should never be investigated for any crime no matter what because.....Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump should never be criticized for any failure while in office because.........Barrack Obama. It is amazing how well these excuses work with many republican voters. They do not care about accountability at all.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
Still hung up on Hillary. LMAO. This guy is scared and his bully tactics aren't working. Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Wow, looks like James Comey exonerated Hillary Clinton long before the investigation was over...and so much more. A rigged system! 6:56 AM - Sep 1, 2017

President Donald Trump: The Thread
Trump allegedly donating $1 million to the relief effort. Wants everyone to know, and is asking the "fake news" bad people where to donate, because obviously, being there and getting a "first hand" look at things, he has no idea. And his brilliant son Eric said CNN won't even mention his dad's generosity. They ran it on their station and tweeted about it 3 hours before this prodigy said he didn't think they would ever mention it. I hope this investigation gets the Trump Organization in a bunch of trouble.

Gonzalez to Rangers
Next season is going to be interesting. With Detroit in full tank, and KC going to be bad, and right around .500 keeps your playoff hopes alive, a few breakouts, who knows. The Sox schedule will feature too many games against horrid teams next year to assume a top of the draft pick anymore.

Gonzalez to Rangers
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 07:09 AM) Anything you get for Gonzalez is a bonus. I am shocked this happened literally right after he pitched, but very happy. The kid sounds as raw as they come, and hasn't really advanced since he was drafted, but hey. It's a lottery ticket. The fact that he pitched showed the Sox didn't think anything was going to happen with him. The injury risk at this point is very minor, but the other team gets him for a month, and now he's not available for several days. Not that any team would ever think of Miguel Gonzalez as the savior, but you would think if you were acquiring him for a month, you would want him available from the start.

Gonzalez to Rangers
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 31, 2017 -> 11:24 PM) Statistically, he looks like a F hitter. Can't get close to .700 OPS at any minor league level. Maybe the scouts see something. Didn't expect much though. Probably, but I doubt teams were tangling top of the line prospects for 4 weeks of Miguel Gonzalez. Chances are, when Hahn's time is done and they go through all his trades and signings, this is one most of us will forget ever happened, but so what? One of these times, the White Sox will strike gold with a guy like this.

If the White Sox were anywhere near close to trading Gonzalez, I doubt he would be pitching now. Looks like zero interest.

2017-18 NCAA Football Thread
QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 30, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) Hawkeye football made Ed Cunningham quit ESPN Yeah, that was kind of weird. Beathard was a typical immobile QB with his injury. It wasn't like he was playing with a concussion. Seems a little extreme thwt would be the final straw and make him walk away from a pretty sweet gig. I always liked his work. But to me, it does seem that football isn't as highly anticipated this year as it has in the past. Maybe all the brain injuries are starting to turn people off.

Vacation/Travel Thread
QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Aug 30, 2017 -> 01:10 PM) I would also agree that I felt the whole "French being mean to Americans" was overblown. Everybody was very kind, except for one lady at a Starbucks LOL. As long as you try to speak the language, you'll be good. So many Americans are probably repeating themselves over and over in English and pissing off the French. Imagine if a Frenchmen came up to you and was being rude that you couldn't understand his language Most French do understand English, but you're right, if you at least try, they are very nice. They get a bad rap. My brother lived in Paris for 10 years, and still has a condo there, so I have been several times. My favorite city in Europe by far.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
Kellyanne sticking to the playbook. Was questioned by FOX NEWS about the proposed Trump Tower Moscow. She said nothing came of it, no Trump Tower in Moscow. The host actually said but he said he had nothing to do with Russia and obviously them discussing this deal sort of makes that not so true...Kellyanne then started talking about Hillary. It never fails.

2017-2018 NFL Thread
I saw Hub on CSN yesterday, he has been to just about every Bears practice and said Trubisky is way better than he thought, BUT is not ready for regular season play. He thinks he is going to be really good. He said maybe in a blowout they could get him time, but says for now Sanchez is the #2. He expects him to be the emergency QB for at least 5 or 6 weeks, as the Bears first 4 opponents are really good, and maybe then get the job. He was saying in the NFL, lame duck coaches are rare, so Fox is basically coaching for his job, and he's pretty much screwed, and he sees the only way he gets an extension is if the Bears make the playoffs, which is unlikely. Fox wants and needs the Bears to win more than just about anyone, so if MT isn't starting, he isn't ready.

Ongoing storm disaster thread
QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 08:51 PM) Well how do we know it's a once in 500 year storm? From what I understand the Comanche did not keep detailed weather records. I think some of these ideas need to be reevaluated, and the "once in x amount of years" weather event label perhaps doesn't fit. Why is it you accept science for so many things, yet not this? It is too bad Al Gore was really the front man on this subject, and people made it a political thing and not common sense.
