http://people.com/politics/clinton-advisor...t-leaked-email/ Chelsea for President 2024 campaign not off to a roaring start.

Except the Braves made the playoffs 14 consecutive years....the White Sox have never even managed to go back to back in their much longer franchise history. And Braves' fans have had a number of seasons to enjoy since that string ended as well. Not to mention two new stadiums in the past 20 years.

By the zinger (not the semi-delicious snack cake) argument, Lloyd Bentsen vs. Dan Quayle should have given the Dems the 1988 election...

See Bushes, Jeb. Like her mother, her charisma and energy levels are quite low. Chelsea has a non-zero chance ofvrunning for president, but nobody's going to be clamoring for her in the Democratic Party. Her husband losing so much money for hedge fund clients by betting on the Greek financial crisis with "inside info" already almost disqualifies her from getting out of the starter's block.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 9, 2016 -> 07:48 AM) Hindsight is 20/20 but why would Bochy roll with Shark? Who else could they have gone with? Moore, Blach or Suarez...but managers usually go with the horse who got them there all season...and maybe Moore's numbers weren't a good match for the Cubs' line up. Maybe just a managerial hunch going against his former team? His intuition as a manager was just fine in 2010, 12 and 14. It's arguable. Moore's peripherals were 5-10% better, roughly. Blach also has pitched well doen the stretch, but inexperienced.

There's a huge risk you don't get much more than Sanchez and he turns out to be a one hit wonder like a Kevin Maas or Shane Spencer. A year ago he was part of a major package, now he would comprise 75-80% of that deal individually. It's one your scouting department has to get 100% right. Failure means multiple heads will roll. Getting 3-5 players from Boston seems like the better risk, because you only need a couple of those players to be above average regulars (2.5-4 war) rather than Sanchez having to be a perennial All Star at catcher. Of course the other issue is getting back more than one of Bradley, Benintendi and Moncada. JBJr means you are rebuilding on the fly and probably have to keep Frazier unless he completely tanks.

https://tippie.biz.uiowa.edu/iem/ This is a presidential election market, you buy shares in candidates just like stocks....zero reason it shouldn't reflect perceptions of the race quite accurately. Look what has happened in the last 2-3 days. Trump is doomed. Interestingly, maybe even remarkably, Republican House and Senate control has also blipped up the last week. One would expect Dem Senate and GOP House to be the most likely result, and it has led for most of the summer... https://www.yahoo.com/news/cnn-panel-on-tru...-214302218.html GOP pundit keeps repeating p***y word multiple times on CNN to make a point, despite "many daughters watching or listening".

https://www.yahoo.com/news/maybe-trump-did-...-184040971.html And this is going to the typical column from the female perspective...accusing him of criminal assault at the very least.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) All of pence's events have been removed from the campaign's website, and reports have been swirling all day that his camp is apoplectic over this. Non zero chance he steps down. You might actually have Pence running against Trump the final month...and Donald trying unsuccessfully to remove him from the ballot. That VP debate has now put Pence and Ryan into a positioning battle for 2020, and Pence has more to gain now pretending Trump doesn't even exist on this planet.

And what was the bwar and the fwar for the pitching staff if you strip away Shields, Latos, Erik Johnson, Danks, Beck and Danish? Seriously, are there any pitching coaches we could confidently assert would turn around Kanhle, Michael Ynoa, Jacob Turner, and the rest of the riff raff that was our pen in August and September? Other than expecting Rodon and Fulmer to perform instantly like Sale and Q, where has he failed? Isn't that just as much on the scouting/evaluation side of things, if not moreso? I guess David Robertson is on Cooper more than Hahn, too, right?

Just got an e-mail from Jason Kander's campaign in Missouri...they're hammering away at Blunt for not repudiating Trump or withdrawing his endorsement. This is going to be the case across the country in any tight race...the Democrats will attempt to bleed away every last woman supporting the GOP candidates. At this point, I doubt it backfires. It definitely feels like his first real "enough is enough" moment with the electorate. The reaction from Republicans will be to double down and attack Clinton and risk coming across as even more insensitive to her. She becomes genuinely sympathetic the more her husband's actions are recounted. Whose side will most women be on here? Seems a foregone conclusion, other than how embarrassed America will be on the international stage over the next month.

It's not quite the clinical or technical definition of rape, but it's veering pretty darned close. Obviously women want to use Trump too, to progress their careers or get some advantage out of it...maybe the smartest ones can tease him but don't actually have to undergo something physical. This, to me, goes back to the likes of Marilyn Monroe having to get 8-10 illegal abortions when she was just starting out in Hollywood...sleeping with numerous producers. Was that her playing the game to be cast in a role, or men using their power and position to take advantage and assault/rape her, when they knew no actresses would come forward and charge a major studio exec with making an unwanted advance? How many of Trump's models or pageant contestants did the same? If more stories come out, how many do we have to hear before using wealth/power to have sex (especially when there are 20-40 year age differences) becomes unacceptable? If JFK did the same thing but we perceive him to be more attractive/appealing to women, how does that make it any different, if at all? I really doubt someone said they just ignore looking at his hair when they were with him, for example. More than the p***y word, it's the cheating on his potentially pregnant wife and knowingly pursuing married women that is most ruffling traditional/conservative GOP feathers. Not the actions, but that he was caught bragging red handed.

Psychological traumatization...I guess.

Price with yet another disappointing performance in the post season. Doesn't augur well for Kershaw. For those hoping Dombrowski would come under pressure to make another big move, events are breaking on cue.

Wasn't Flowers also terrible throwing out runners this year?

It's interesting now that because Trump interrupted Clinton about as many times as Kaine interrupted Pence, they're somehow equated as being equivalent victories for the "interruptee" when the VP debate was more or less a draw or slight victory to the GOP perception-wise.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 06:23 AM) It's the playoffs and Saturday is an off day. Miller will be available today. We'll see. 40 high stress pitches is a lot. I think you might see him against Ortiz in a key situation, but definitely not for more than 15-20 pitches.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) Somewhere, the Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma State thunder just cried

Allen has a pretty nasty knuckle curve, same pitch that Robertson utilizes well when he's confident.

Allen is going to be lucky to survive the 9th with that elevated pitch count....so Kluber has to go long tmrw. Of course Price still has a very spotty post season record. Miller will likely be sidelined as well.

Indians have impressive depth, when you can go with your 5th/6th starter entering the season in Bauer and beat your opponent's best (although most would consider Price still is the ace). Losing Salazar and Carrasco is the White Sox equivalent of Quintana and Rodon being out.

Really gutsy managing by Francona there using Miller for 40 pitches and at that point in the game. If they can cover the 8th, it will look brilliant. Quite the contrast with Britton not even getting off the bench

Obviously he'll get the QO, and his "can do whatever he wants" vibe won't be highly appreciated by a new manager trying to set a new tone for the clubhouse...plus putting him around a .500ish team screams potential problems. Not to mention how many nice golf courses there are in Chicago. Then you have the smoking issue. Complicated.
