  1. Well, we don’t know for sure...but something very strange was going on with umpires seemingly targeting Moncada. It was over the top, but we haven’t heard of the cause.
  2. Anytime we start throwing out names like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Franco, Mussolini...the assumption is that it simply HAS to be an exaggeration.
  3. Basically, the Electoral College, gerrymandering/restricted voting rights and now the SC are the three pivotal forces keeping “1950’s Leave It To Beaver” version of America from being completely overrun/overwhelmed.
  4. And corporations are forevermore going to take priority over the American people, thanks to the SC, well, let’s just say for the next 25-30 years at least.
  5. If not for blocking Merrick Garland in an unprecedented way...the SCOTUS deciding the 2000 election for GW Bush and then Trump losing by 2.8 million and those 77,000 votes in three Midwest states, we could have some balance. Heck, Comey not inserting himself into the election on either side arguably gives it to HRC, and Dems at least have a 5-4 SCOTUS, if not 6-3 (Kennedy might have tried to hang on until 2020, when HRC would have lost due to a recession.) Now, with a 6-3 SC advantage, both houses of Congress, the majority of state houses and governorships...and especially Trump himself, the pendulum has to shift back.
  6. Unauthorized immigrants are more likely than U.S.-born workers to be employed in industries that offer low-skilled jobs, due in part to their relatively low education levels and to limits of their status. Of all unauthorized immigrant workers, 22% are in professional, business and other services, which encompasses a wide range of businesses from legal services and advertising, to employment services, landscaping and waste management, to personal services such as dry cleaning, nail salons, car washes and religious organizations.3 Some 18% are in the leisure and hospitality sector, and 16% are in the construction industry. More than half (55%) of unauthorized immigrant workers are employed in these three sectors, compared with only 31% of U.S.-born workers. Although only 5% of unauthorized immigrant workers are employed in agriculture, that is more than double the share of U.S.-born workers (2%) who are. The 13% of unauthorized immigrant workers employed in the manufacturing industry compares with 10% of U.S.-born workers employed there. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/03/27/where-americas-undocumented-immigrants-work/?noredirect=on
  7. Basically the entire GOP electoral strategy has been to tie every Dem to Pelosi, Schumer and now Waters. I get the tax cut windfall, cutting regulations...but the “old” GOP at least cared somewhat about the environment (conservative/conserve/conservation.) Strong defense...but also a faithful member of NATO and supporter of a neoliberal global world order since WW2 (Mattis/Powell.) The tariffs so far have been a complete debacle. 90% of the Caucus disagrees with them. What happened to free trade? The social issues/identity politics have always been there. Where I disagree strongly is on health care and policies that exacerbate income inequality for the poor and lower middle class...like all the proposed Ryan cuts to social programs, education, Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security will have to be cut at least 15% beginning in 2025, etc.
  8. Had no idea how badly that foul pop was misplayed...that will reside in their nightmares like Bartman to Alou.
  9. Haha...who is “persecuted” more than Greg in Filibuster? I’ll give everyone one guess. It’s part of the game to see if we can rally anyone/everyone to our cause...to consolidate our base, especially when we’re (seemingly) outnumbered 10 to 1. Of course, the truth is that a lot of people who voted for Trump don’t want to admit it publicly or defend him here, but there’s definitely a missing 3-5 Trump supporters (or at least sympathizers) for every 5-6 “liberal” voices at SoxTalk.
  10. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-explains-shocking-victory-takes-shot-trump-071642309.html Ocasio-Cortez on Colbert...has a little Eva Mendes vibe, combined with the Boston University education and a lot of street smarts/high EQ.
  11. Does it work when Ben Shapiro and Rabbit are attacked?
  12. Blame the Red Sox! Otherwise, we’d have Devers and Madrigal lined up in their correct positions. That RH hitting line has been an issue every year since the Sally League.
  13. I’ve said all along 750-787.5 this year, 788-825 in 2020...that’s realistic, although below expectations for Sox fans, especially compared to where he was 2 just months ago. 20+ errors, though, is unacceptable at 2b.
  14. Or #biglyforadley #sadlywemightnotsuckenough4adley #canttouchrutsch
  15. Some soreness continues to bother Robert, normal muscle soreness in the initial playing process after having his hand immobilized for an extended stretch. But there's no concern on the part of Robert or the White Sox. "Just a little bit in my swing because of the soreness, some balls that I can usually hit harder and put in the air," said Robert of being hampered at all. "But because of the soreness in my wrist, I'm lowering my hands more than I used to and that's generating more ground balls and line drives. I'm working through it, and physically I'm feeling good." We shall go with the exact quote...
  16. Of course, Jared Mitchell also won the CWS...hope this one has a happier, storybook ending.
  17. Fwiw, this guy was so far gone mentally, doubt he’s ever even heard of Milo Y.
  18. Wonder if Hartley or the female employee he stalked were among the victims...? The writer of the column “targeting” him wasn’t one.
  19. Other than Anderson and Leury...I guess Narvaez, the entire offense has regressed. Steverson is fortunate at this point to have any big league job.
  20. Robert was forced to bunt twice (runners on 1st ad 2nd, no outs), got himself into a 0-2 count and battled back. Equalled Moncada’s infield hit total for the entire season, lol.
  21. Abel and Mulholland...maybe just bring their coach on board with Sox, too.
  22. https://mobile.twitter.com/EricHartleyFrnd Dear reader: I created this page to defend myself. Now I'm suing the shit out of half of AA County and making corpses of corrupt careers and corporate entities... It’s crazy how many signs there are just from this crazy guy’s Twitter page...these were from like 2-3 years ago. There’s no way SOMEONE in Annie Arundel County isn’t familiar with him from a law enforcement perspective. And HOW IN THE HELL does he have almost 500 followers? He looks like a freaking member of Charles Manson’s cult.
  23. If not for the two coasts, where did that 2.8 million popular vote margin come from? Illinois? It’s a wake up call about not being too complacent or really listening to constituents...getting out there and actually doing the hard work of politics, knocking on doors. Supposedly, she spent a lot of time just going up and down the halls of tenement buildings, and thought bought her respect/credibility almost instantly. And don’t call for a debate, NOT show up, then send a staff member who’s a Hispanic female in your place to represent you. Nobody likes being condescended to/patronized. And Reddy should know one thing as an Iowan...remember, which state gave Obama his huge shot of momentum in 2008? Or Howard Dean? At the time they ran, they were both to the left/progressive side of the mainstream candidates (Obama due to his anti-war stance.” This was all in “relatively conservative” Iowa. Especially in primaries, the more extreme/passionate members of both parties are going to be out there. That’s also how you explain the likes of King, Grassley and Reynolds, and re-exploring what was once seemingly settled territory on abortion rights. On the coasts, the moderates are going to be pushed...like Feinstein, for one. Pelosi is going to be challenged by the younger members of her caucus, especially now with Crowley down and extreme frustration over having another arch-conservative Supreme Court justice jammed down our throats because Hillary couldn’t secure 77,000 votes in 3 states that she took for granted (especially WI.) Just like the GOP learned with Eric Cantor going down。
