Unless Kershaw asked to be pulled, this does seem like a bad move. We will see.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 07:55 PM) I would assume Theo would answer: "We had a lot of success here but ultimately we failed to reach our goal.." Which I would agree with. Again, I didn't call them failures if they don't win the World Series. Someone else did. That's a strong word. BUT, my point is about expectations as a whole and how things have developed on the North Side, similar to how they developed on the West Side. Using that example again, if the Hawks from 2010-2016 never won any Cups, but continued to make the Finals, would we say every season was a success and they are just unlucky? Then we would call them the Vancouver Canucks, ha.

Kershaw straight dealin after two innings

I was told only Trump supporters are capable of political violence. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-38...h-Carolina.html

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) And do you keep that same thought process every year? What if Theo and the Cubs never win a World Series. Would he say his run here was a success if they never won, even though the playoffs are a crap shoot? Well that's kind of moving the goal posts don't you think? But honestly I would say the answer is yes and no (I realize that seems like a cop out). If they make 7 straight postseasons, I would definitely call that successful but yeah, he would still think he didn't complete the job. The 90s Buffalo Bills weren't failures IMO.

This franchise is such a joke. Ex-White Sox player? You're hired!

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) They made the NLCS last season. In the off-season, they got better. As the season went on, they continued to get better. As the entered the post-season, they were by far the healthiest team in the field. So if they have the same result as last season, we are supposed to consider this season a success? Do you believe Theo and the front office would consider it a success? I would think that Theo realizes the baseball playoffs are a crap shoot and would call it a successful season with a disappointing finish.

You know this Trump stuff has jumped the shark when Gloria Allred starts getting involved.

Hold on to your bat Encarnacion, seems to swing it into the crowd often.

Lol, Lazerus from the Sun Times and white Sox Dave from Barstool are in a Twitter spat. Can the Hawks franchise cornerstone with a history of concussions please not start fights? Thanks.

The Dodgers were the worst hitting team in baseball vs. LHP. And the best hitting team vs. RHP. Probably game 1 & 5 vs. Lester, the other 5 games against a righty.

Jordan Reed has a concussion???? That's not allowed...

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 06:42 AM) Did you watch the game, or are you letting your hatred of him blind you? He was definitely one of the better players on the ice. He looked a little slimmer too.

It's a good thing the Nationals held Strasburg back from the playoffs that one year, he has come in handy for all of the WS appearances since then.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 01:05 PM) The one thing they have that we don't is ass-loads of debt payment. And millions in donations to the Trump campaign

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 01:27 PM) It will be interesting to see what this does to Trump after the election. His base isn't exactly the target of his brand. I think if the Apprentice tape comes out and he actually said what that woman is claiming, he may be totally ruined and Eric Trump may have to get a real job. The majority of his most devoted voting base couldn't afford a single night in one of his hotels.

My "new" health insurer for 2016 is dropping from the exchange now and is no longer offering my plan in 2017. Great. Either keep paying more or start finding sub-par doctors for my kids.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 08:51 AM) It should be pointed out that Ventura isn't in the race, so his past misdeeds (if any) haven't been brought to to light. But, as soon as he or anyone else enters, their past becomes a real issue. My guess is that a guy who made his living as an outlandish professional wrestler in the 70s and 80s probably has some skeletons in his closet that he'd like to keep there. Because what somebody did or didn't do 20 years ago is a more important qualification than what they can do in the future. 'Merica!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 07:25 AM) It was a one goal game until they pulled Crawford at the end. They were fine. They were headed into the second intermission with a lead until the barrage of penalties hit. Counterpoint: They had 9 shots on goal in two periods. It wasn't pretty, it's gonna take a while to start gelling, but no need to Panik () yet.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) I'm not voting for him and that's a fact. So I can't be too cool with it. I do think we're doomed as a country either way. Eight years of Hillary is not good. And you know who I think takes over after her. I'm very worried about our economy. You have every right to be worried about the upcoming Hillary presidency, I know I am. You just can't talk about it publicly because Trump is such an awful person, that's all that matters.

Ouch. At least there are six more months until the playoffs to figure this s*** out. Could be looking at 0-3 to start the year with the back to back vs. Nashville

Was Giuliani always this crazy and I never noticed or is this a recent occurrence? Some of the stuff out of his mouth is crazier than anything Trump has even said.

The rebuild has begun...
