http://madamenoire.com/539432/white-women-...ended-from-job/ White woman who provoked the whole episode outed and put on leave by Bank of America. I'm trying to remember if the Fruitvale Station (CA) situation ended up with the kid dying from an "accidental" gunshot or tazer/heart condition???

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 03:57 PM) That's messed up. By that utilitarian (the greatest good for the greatest number) type of argument, almost any cop can justify not intervening in any particular situation to save one specific individual. But what if the guy was threatening EVERYONE in the whole subway car with his presence? Or, by not intervening (allowing the suspect to kill the heroic guy), everyone else was consequently put in danger as a result? Sounds like something that a bunch of insurance companies and lawyers developed to protect cities from civil litigation.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 02:04 PM) That is still a 14-6 May, removing white sox from the schedule. And that is pretty good I'm pretty sure I read somewhere where they hadn't played many teams over .500, but, with the AL being what it is right now...you'd have to go back and look at the records of the teams when they played as well. At any rate, all the predictive models have them regressing back to the middle or bottom of the pack as the schedule evens out. We'll see.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:47 PM) You've really gone all-in on the "Melky = Dunn" theory. Obviously no one is going to take Danks' contact as is, but eat the vast majority of the money and someone might take him. And quite frankly, I'd be okay with that because I think Johnson & Beck could exceed his performance going forward. Johnson maybe, but I think expecting anything lower than a 5.25 ERA out of Beck is pushing it.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 05:41 AM) No kidding. And he's supposedly a character. Great, a distant cousin of Kevin Millar mixed with Steve Balboni and Matt Stairs.

Second defensive mistake of the game. God, our catching situation is just beyond awful. Damn you, Roger Bossard!!! That ball goes foul in most stadiums.

Well, we saw a situation where we all expected Bonifacio to bunt and of course he didn't. Poor Quintana.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 05:54 PM) Latest post on MLBTR says the Mets might be a good matchup for the a potential Guerrero trade. I would be curious to see if he's really on the trade block and if the Sox could swing something for him. He would be an excellent bat to have at third. I think he's worth anyone in the system not named Anderson, Montas or Fulmer. Also depends on the financials....how much of that contract the Dodgers are willing to offset. Wouldn't imagine they'd want to help out a fellow National League competitor and possibly see him again in the playoffs...would prefer to send him to the AL undoubtedly.

Jurassic World. 3/4 stars. Definitely worth watching, better than the 2 sequels. (Saw in 3D but not IMAX). Annoyingly predictable, but that's why we enjoy mindless summer popcorn movies like this one or San Andreas. Chris Pratt is quickly becoming the "go to" guy in Hollywood, the special effects are much better than 20 years ago (some accuse them of being too frantic, the director is most famous for Safety Not Guaranteed and tries to bring more of a human element that hearkens back with numerous references to the original movies. Motorcycle, Chris Pratt, sprinting dinosaurs: If you require more than that out of a movie, you're being unreasonable. Richard Roeper One of the best parts of this movie is the John Williams score...just hearing that music again, and reminiscing about the first Jurassic Park movie and the sense of wonderment about the universe created in that film was pretty darned cool to revisit.

More mental mistakes. How many clean games have we had defensively this year? Less than 5?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 04:49 PM) Are we expecting Hickman to sign? I doubt it, but great pick if so. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/video/v15034...38897-807289403 You'd have to think so...he was with the White Sox ACE program until the age of 17, so you know he's comfortable with the organization.

http://news.yahoo.com/mckinney-police-offi...-190534788.html Bishkin said Casebolt had worked one suicide and one attempted suicide in the hour prior to being dispatched to the pool party that reportedly involved teens fighting. “The nature of these two suicide calls took an emotional toll on Eric Casebolt,” Bishkin said at a Wednesday afternoon news conference. Now I know from the rhetoric flying around here on these situations that most law enforcement personnel are going to say that's part of the job, you know it going in and to use it as an excuse after the fact is convenient...if anything, I would think dealing with that kind of a (suicide) situation would make more MORE likely not to want to use deadly force and work out things by talking more amicably, but that's just me.

That's the problem when your family is in California and you're in the Midwest. Minimum, it would be a 2 day thing, as it would be insane to fly (even directly) back and forth in one day. So you can argue it should only be two and not three days, but I'm guessing they have some special events or things to attend that Friday night as well...on the other hand, of course, when you fly east to west you don't lose hardly any time at all. It's the coming back thing that sucks. Especially three time zones or more. Somehow I doubt one game is going to decide the season at this point...

Neither. Just think it will be interesting to see the "counter reaction" from police across the country. Okay...well, if you're not happy with how we're doing our jobs, let's see how happy you are if we do the bare minimum or look the other way. Can't imagine it would be an easy thing to stomach for the best officers. It's the same argument as a local teacher's union, when they take such an action that works against the benefit of the students.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 05:23 PM) Blue Jays have won 8 in a row, now 1 game above .500 and they have the second best run differential in the MLB. Will we ever have an offense as good as theirs? Maybe if we had traded for Josh Donaldson instead of Samardzija.

Micker Adolfo (way off) would be another possibility, albeit extremely raw and a long path ahead.

Why the bad guys are winning in Baltimore.... http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/10/us/baltimore...view/index.html

Don't give in to Springer. Of course, behind him is Altuve...maybe the best hitter in the AL.

If that balls goes out....just got under it.

That lead started evaporating in a hurry. This game is interesting again.

The game goes from a complete blowout to a nailbiter in the span of 3 minutes. SIGH.

Correa's first big league homer. The fan who caught that ball better hold out for all the Apple gear like the Indians' bullpen did on Moss' 100th homer.

Great defense again, guys. That's what happens when you have players on the field not used to playing with each other. Bonifacio was way over for the shift....had too much ground to cover and wind's really blowing apparently.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) He did himself no favors by looking as if he's never played baseball before during Spring Training. I'd love to replace him with Ruggiano. Everth Cabrera, whoever (he led the NL in stolen bases in 2012, that's something). Of course, you know that Hahn isn't going to admit another Keppinger/Downs mistake in the middle of the season.

White Sox offense continues to fight for ineptness records. Even in winning, you still want to throw the remote control through the t.v.
