You might be the only one in America to take that position. Independent voters, sure. Especially if they were voting today, having understood what Trump actually intended to do.

Shaka will be lucky to survive in Texas at this rate. Alford loves college, but has the NBA ego. He'll wait to get all the Ball family through UCLA first. Ewing, Collins, Manning and Ollie have a long way to go...Collins seems a good possibility, eventually. Of course, someone has to eventually replace Coach K at Duke. Not sure that Brey is the favorite due to age, maybe Collins repeats with NW and he's right there for that job.

32,044 to be exact.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 08:20 PM) This board certainly has its whipping boys. Why the hell do Demos on here hate Bernie? I think it's cause we Republicans go so far as to say we like him and probably would have voted for him. I don't get it. Bernie is the opposite of evil. There are few if any Republicans who like Sanders. Break up Wall Street and Big Banks, no way. Minimum wage hikes and decreasing income inequality, nope. Universal free tuition and single payer health care, nope. Environment, nope. Foreign policy, double nope. Identify with the 16-34 year olds and college liberals who comprise his biggest constituency, no way. Only gun control, which Sanders moderated to the left on during the primaries.

As to Buehrle, no. Konerko was frustrating when he got down on himself, shoulder shrugs, lots of DP balls...he was his own worst enemy, but he really had an impressive peak run of seasons with just a couple anomalies thrown in. One of the best fastball hitters in modern Sox history.

Oh, and pray Kopech can discover his control and become a TOR monster. Hawkins peaked early, just like Mitchell...heck, the flip on the draft show might turn out to be what he's most remembered for.

Frazier contract extension talk...thankfully gone the way of Samardzija extension. What the heck happened? The homer binges permanently turned him into a guess hitter?

Let's hope we have more than Dunning and Moncada to show for this minor league season. We desperately need someone like W Garcia to morph into the next Thames. Pretty bleak right now unless we sign Robert or get the next Benintendi in the draft.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/cubs-dominate...-173404336.html Cubs have 4 out of top 5 selling jerseys in MLB. Baez at 4 was a bit of a shocker, compared with Schwarber at 5. Keyshawn 3rd. Bryant/Rizzo, 1/2.

More worried about Frazier...but oh well, what can Hahn do now? At least Robertson is off to a good start.

Hillary Clinton is done. http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/04/ple...s-doing?ref=yfp Please God, Stop Chelsea Clinton From Whatever She's Doing And Bernie Sanders wouldn't be able to change much of anything without control of Congress as well. And the Trump administration (maybe The Donald himself) just produced one of the most amazing videos of all-time. Hard not to tear watching the Fearless Leader with George Washington in the backdrop. Truly inspiring! https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-stuns-twit...-211654674.html

Looks like Rondo tried to trip Crowder from the bench as he walked by after hitting jumper.

Which also means three more Covey starts, unless they replace him with Danish.

Q and Kluber now with exact same ERA, 6.38.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20170421 Two more Moncada K's. Close to 40% k rate....last year it was much lower (124/405), but more experienced pitchers in AAA. W Garcia and Liriano doing some damage. Finally, old friend JB Shuck making an appearance for the opposition. Mason Robbins 1st homer for Barons.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/21/politics/rus...rate/index.html Russia tried to use Trump advisers to infiltrate the campaign. Meanwhile, Trump planning magic trick of health care, tax reform and preventing government shutdown in less than one week. If both fail and the Dems refuse to compromise over the Wall with Mexico, those 100 day articles will not be pretty. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/201...ent-ever-215063 How Trump Succeeds Without Actually Succeeding

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 09:56 AM) All of the successful int'l FAs cited here were either veteran players (Ramirez, Abreu) or were not highly-regarded by the industry (Viciedo). All of the highly-desired and young int'l FAs that involved a competitve process to sign (Soler, Tanaka) ended up signing elsewhere. Given that Robert seems to be the latter type of int'l FA (young, highly-regarded, and with many suitors), I expect Robert to sign elsewhere. I don't believe it is a "cheapness" issue, so much as it is a risk-averse issue. And no where have I posted otherwise. I'll guess the "we tried to sign Robert, but look at the other guys we signed" press conference will be on June 15th. Try again with your Viciedo comment... https://www.yahoo.com/news/viciedo-delightf...00539--mlb.html

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 11:14 AM) God help that there are people interested in Justice out there. You realize you're defending a guy who used women as a shield, struck someone with blunt force and then ran away right? If they commit violent crimes on camera yes, find their names and hold them accountable. He's trying to use DA's faulty argument that I only cared about that violent ANTFIA woman because she was a porn actress and not because she was a criminal. They use republican stereotypes on me even though republicans would never have me on account of my social views. Can't disrupt the narrative though. What is a Republican these days? Any progressive social views would simply put you into the Kushner/Ivanka/Cohn/Dina Powell camp for now. The reasonable side to Trump's coarseness. It's a huge tent. Well, unless you're Tomi Lahren, but she fell on her own sword to get free of Glenn Beck.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/21/opinions/hil...sini/index.html Democratic Party failure as much as Hillary's (Bernie Sanders supporter)

The victim supposedly watched bondage pornography 16-18 hours per day and was receiving unemployment benefits. He deserves what he got.

Mission Accomplished. http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/21/politics/tru...days/index.html Another major flip flop on first 100 days in office timeframe http://theweek.com/speedreads/693812/heres...one-almost-none President Donald Trump says businesses and individuals will receive a "massive tax cut" under a tax reform package he plans to unveil next week. In an interview with The Associated Press, Trump says the plan will result in tax cuts for both individuals and businesses. He would not provide details of the plan, saying only that the tax cuts will be "bigger I believe than any tax cut ever." The president says the package will be released on "Wednesday or shortly thereafter" — just before his 100 day mark in office. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin initially set a goal of getting tax reform passed by August, but that deadline has slipped. Mnuchin now says the administration still hoped to get a bill passed well before the end of the year. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/trump-says-relea...-175555919.html Good comment/reply at bottom I wouldn't want a tax break if it meant a crumbling infrastructure, unaffordable private schools, inefficient and expensive healthcare, multi-trillion dollar wars, starving poor people, and polluted air, water, and land. Just use my taxes for stuff that makes life better for everyone, and I'll be happy. I make 80,000 a year, and I live OK. I want other people to live securely as well, but I know many are truly disadvantaged and need basic help. I believe what Jesus taught, and I'm willing to give up some of my material bounty so others might have a better life. I've helped people in my 61 years, and they did right by it, and helped others.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 07:46 AM) Eh. He is still a teacher, and not a Trump fan, who committed violence. And planned on more, as they dug up records of him receiving from Amazon the day before over a dozen of the bike locks he used to hit that guy. pretty sure he passed them out among his 'friends'. For peaceful purposes, no doubt. As for those alt-rights you are complaining about, ask judge Bork how he fells about having his past drug up? Don't act like this is new. There's a big difference between Bork's time and today...just look at the example of the Reasonable Sweater guy Ken at the presidential debates. How could anyone have access to his Amazon.com account? Who is they? Should we go through the records of all the pro-Trump protesters who brought knives or brass knuckles, too? Those with permits for handguns?
