QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:13 AM) He was mocked because he implied a terrorist attack happened the previous night in Sweden. This was right around the same time that Conway made up the Bowling Green Massacre and Spicer made up an attack in Atlanta. Trump ran as a republican. Therefore, rabbit isn't interested in the facts. BTW, the great Trump killed 4 kids in his airstrike last night. Trump is always right because if he wasn't right at first, he flips and acts like the things he said before never happened.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:48 AM) And he still doesn't want those people and children in our country. He is full of s*** with the ban and I have never said differently. I'm not supporting anything in this tweets. I'm just questioning the relevance of every single tweet of his lifetime back when he didn't even have anybody to answer to. So Donald Trump should not be accountable for anything he has said or written up until now. This was a guy who could not help himself, and cannot help himself just keeping his mouth shut. He campaigned on most of the BS he has tweeted over the years. Going back on close to all of it should be something that is scrutinized. To me, it's a hell of a lot more egregious than hiring an undocumented nanny which has cost many political careers. And if Hillary Clinton were president and had the same type of twitter history, I doubt that would be ignored by those that think Trump's previous behavior should be ignored

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:34 AM) ISIS just killed 140 civilians in Mosul. Good thing Trump defeated them. He has a plan to defeat ISIS. He knows more than any General. Believe me. Maybe he is counting how many civilians US strikes have killed recentlyl. Over 140 so Trump wins. We are going to be sick of winning eventually, but let's ride it now. BTW, here is an article showing many of Trump's tweets where he is ultimately trolling himself. It would be hysterical if it wasn't so sad. http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/07/politics/don...eets/index.html

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:25 AM) A week ago there weren't fresh, new images on every media channel in the world of chemical attack victims. It's not an enviable position by any means, I don't know if it was the right move or not. But quoting tweets from 3+ years ago about Syria is the same as everyone yelling at greg about e-mails. I am taking something from a week ago. Stay out, keep your people out of our country even if they are in grave danger, Assad may be a bad guy, but not our problem. Why was it different when Obama was considering doing the same thing? Why was he a "foolish" leader? Chemical attack was a concern then. Don't you think action before a chemical attack might have helped out more innocent people than waiting for them to die by the thousands.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:19 AM) Or a year or a few months ago. And tweets have always been public. Usually presidents don't do 180s on literally everything. I'm sure little kids do. Everyone who defends Trump at almost every turn, even those like rabbit who claim they don't like him, would not be defending Hillary if the exact same thing happened. The reason is the ® after his name. That seems more important than what his words and actions actually are. The thing is he isn't really a republican, and he isn't really a democrat, and he isn't really anything, just whatever gets him ahead at that moment. There are tons of people who aren't bright enough to realize they are being played by a con man. The sad part is the amount who can and do realize it but look the other way because of the ® after his name.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:14 AM) Trump is obviously the 1st person in the history of the world to change their opinion over the course of 3+ years during an escalating military situation. Are TWEETS! the new E-MAILS! Well, he changed in a week. A week ago they weren't going to hold Assad accountable for the atrocities he has done to his citizens, and Obama a week ago was still a fool to even consider doing what Trump is now doing.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 05:06 PM) Well, holy s***. If Renteria keeps this up, I will be his biggest fan. We NEVER (OK rarely) won blowouts in the Robin era. Nice to see a blowout so early in Renteria's era on the south side. Obviously all teams will win at least 55 games, so no big deal today, but again, a blowout?? In the Cell? Beautiful. I am thoroughly negative most of the time, but I will give credit where it's due. The team showed life today which it rarely to never did under Robin. p.s. That squeeze bunt was a good idea but it was a lousy bunt. Shoulda been out at home. I do like Stoney's take, however, that if you put pressure on the other team's defense more often than not they'll mess up. It worked so I'm happy but it was a lousy bunt. When they were 23-10 last year, they had several blowout wins.

Maybe the Cubs will DFA Bryant. He's 0-12 with 6 ks and no walks. Davidson has a triple and a walk. Theo may be interested.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 02:27 PM) Every single time I unignore your posts I remember why I don't. LMAO. Sense is obviously something you do not value.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 02:21 PM) Doesn't mean the scouting report has changed. Apparently they are having a hard time executing "the book". He does chase pitches from time to time. But overall, besides the first couple of months last season, he hasn't been an easy out., so whatever the formula is, either it's very difficult to execute very often, or it is wrong.

I don't know if he's as biased anymore. When KW was in charge, there was no question. I do think he has some sort of grudge and there is at least a chance a guy like Tatis was thrown into his top prospects as a dig. As to Robert, he isn't a White Sox yet, so I don't see a connection. If he signs somewhere else and Law's position shifts, then you have a case.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 02:15 PM) The book on Jose is def out. Definitely. Only 3-6 so far this year, and hit a paltry .319/.384/.514 the second half of last year.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 01:54 PM) But he is currently struggling. I didn't say he was in a slump but to begin the year he is struggling. Might just be a lull, might be a sign of what's to come, or may be a guy trying to justify his new contract every AB. I think he will be alright. Everyone is going to have some bad streaks.

QUOTE (Moncada @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 01:27 PM) It was against Victor Martinez and it was on the 3-0 pitch Then gameday is all messed up. It says it was on the 2-0 pitch to Cabrera.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 01:25 PM) What? Runner on 2nd Cabrera batting. Clearly pitching around him. Why bother? Just put him on. What is the best case scenerio of James Shields trying to give Miguel Cabrera nothing to hit? A walk IMO. So these days you don't have to actually throw pitches to walk someone.

So 2-0 on Cabrera, instead of just telling him to take his base, Shields throws a WP allowing the runner to 3rd. Not a good move from the manager.

Don Rickles, 90. He was pretty hysterical.

So jobs planned 2 years before he took office....credit Trump. Citizens get gassed 2 1/2 months into his presidency, 6 days after it was announced the Trump administration would not hold Assad responsible for the atrocities done to his citizens, and a few years after Trump said the "foolish" Obama should stay the hell out of Syria..blame Obama

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 01:04 PM) I don't live in the area and I thought Detroit got on a plane yesterday. I was just outside. It's breezy but not that bad. I've walked around in far worse, although they have several streets closed here due to debris falling from the sky. Plus it's sunny, something we haven't had much of in months.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 11:46 AM) Against division teams? Easy. I wouldn't be questioning this if it were against a team not coming back. And teams try to avoid DHs like the plague. Too taxing on a pitching staff these days.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 11:13 AM) First off, if they're setting a rotation with fans in mind, they're playing with fire. I haven't second guessed anything this week- I've first guessed. Today should have been called. The Twins series should have been Shields, Holland, and Gonzalez. Quintana on Tuesday for the Indians home opener. They aren't setting a rotation with fans in mind. Keeping him on a 5 day routine is probably good for him. If you ever listen to a pitcher talk about their routine, they have specific things they do each day. Obviously, they are going to have an extra day here and there, but he doesn't need one or probably want one yet.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 08:50 AM) Bannon threatened to quit over being ousted from the NSC https://twitter.com/JesseRodriguez/status/849937229921357824 I wonder if a lot of people referring to him as President Bannon worked on Trump like some thought it would.

Here's one reason JR. Is fair game. https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-jr-...-162928866.html

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 11:00 AM) Homeland is excellent this year. I've always enjoyed it, but I'm liking this season more than the past few. The season finale of The Walking Dead was intense. A well-paced 90 minutes. Yes. homeland started out pretty slow, but the last 3 or 4 episodes have been as good as any other episode in any other season.

Trump currently has a lower handicap than Jack Nicklaus.
