QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 09:40 AM) Dude. This hurts me to read. One - different sport and levels of contention Two - Kenny did much more to extend the competitive window of a championship team than they did Three - the vision the sox have shown in their rebuild and, to date, acute timing of the market to maximize returns and show fans what they are intending to do was 1000x fold better than garpax But that the drama in the bulls org is so much worse than KW drama says soemthing. The lying, backstabbing, trashing reputations, and then failing in EVERY attempt to replace the player you said was trash was the most embarrassing episode in Chicago sports in my lifetime IMO. They have pretty much destroyed the NBA for me. I don't follow the Bulls as much as most of you, I could be wrong. I just see the 2009-2016 White Sox as just a much longer period of wasted time and prime talent. In a sport where simply making the playoffs makes you a title contender, they competed for a playoff spot maybe once. The Bulls screwed up all the D-Rose stuff, but when he was healthy they were much closer to winning the Sox ever were.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 09:32 AM) There probably isn't a comment section on the internet that anyone should use as some sort of source for fact. It's just a great way for people hiding behind their computers to be obnoxious without repercussions. There is one I found 100% reliable: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showforum=45

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 09:17 AM) If I was 81 and didn't want to rebuild and had made tens of millions through sweet heart public financing and connections to MLB, I'd say "I'm going to spend a lot of my own money to build the best player development, talent scouting, and mlb roster" and see what happens but I guess that's why i'm not rich. And the thread devolves into a thousand spirals. Kudos to Hahn and Kenny. WHen compared to Jerry's other dynamic duo they did much more to show vision and leadership. I'd argue GarPax were quicker to embrace trades and rebuilding than Kenny.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 08:14 AM) Aaron Judge has been horrible since the home run derby. Only batting .184 with a strikeout in 30+ consecutive games. Home Run Derby ruins swings or simple regression?

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 01:04 AM) The huge issue is that every negative quality that one group of people say about another group of people whom they want to oppress and denigrate, are projections about their own behavior that they are embarrassed about. When the right winger says: Welfare queens take advantage of the system and are lazy and don't want to work They mean: 1. I don't pay my fair share of taxes nor do I give to charity to help the needy, and I don't want to. 2. I have a safe, secure job and I really don't do anything there but the bare minimum to stay employed. Every day I go to work I steal from my company. I am the lazy one. If I point the finger at someone who doesn't have the job opportunities to live comfortably like I do, then it makes me feel better about stealing time from my employer, and not paying my taxes. When the right winger says: The problem isn't the police officers beating minorities, it is that people think that the rules don't apply to them, and they are an entitled brats who have no respect for authority They mean: I think the rules don't apply to me. I don't like minorities. I think they are subhuman. I am above the law. I have enough money to make any problem I have legally, go away. I can just pay a lawyer to get me off the hook. I am the entitled brat. I just have to blame it on somebody else to make me feel better about my taking advantage of the system due to having a large paycheck. When the right winger says: Being gay is a choice. High functioning autism is a con made by people who don't want to work, and are too mentally weak to handle real life. They mean: These people make me uncomfortable. I don't want to deal with them, because they are different. I think they are disgusting because they have sex with people of the same gender or have trouble with social boundaries/personal hygiene. I choose to be closed minded, I am too mentally weak to handle it. I lack the critical thinking skills to come to the conclusion that these things are real issues. Why would anyone choose to behave in this manner, when it is very out of the ordinary? Life is hard enough. Why would someone add this burden to it? When the right winger says: If I have to raise wages, then there will be less jobs They mean: I am a greedy SOB. I don't want to pay people a living wage, because my standard of living will change marginally and that is too uncomfortable. Maybe I can't afford that new yacht on the Lake every 5 years. Now I have to wait 8. I don't care. I want it now, because I am a whiny, entitled petulant child. This is my I am skirting the responsibility of paying my employees fairly and giving people what they need to live comfortably or survive. Not only will I not pay them, I will not give them the tools necessary to succeed at the goals I've set for them. This way I can continue to lower their pay, because my company is doing barely well enough to stay in business, and I want all of it. It is MINE. You can't have more than x amount, even though you've done all of the work, and I've been out at the country club all week. I have more of these that I will post later. I have my popcorn ready for "when the left winger says"

Jerry gonna Jerry. Kenny has a lifetime deal because of 2005.

I can't be a fan of any player with that beard.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 03:19 PM) If you voted Trump your vote helped give a racist immense power regardless of the reason you personally voted for him. I'm not sure why calling that enabling is so objectionable but I'm not attached to that phrase. How about the posters who didn't vote for Trump and have never spoken a positive word about him that are still constantly grouped and berated into the enablers, racists, Nazis, wishing sickness and death upon the American public? Nobody is allowed to post a different thought without getting railroaded. That's why no new people ever post in the Buster. I had enough personal attacks that I had to step away, see what happens now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 12:29 PM) No, they play every team in the NL West this year, but each team plays one team 2 home, 2 away. The Sox have the Dodgers. Gotcha, I didn't realize they did that with non-rivalry teams. Good year to have it happen with the Dodgers, ha.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) I only asked my wife to marry me with the clear understanding that she would have good earning power. That's pretty common on a lot of dating websites.

Didn't the Sox already play the Dodgers this year? Is that usual to play a non-Cubs NL team twice in one season?

Those are some of the dumbest kids I have ever seen. Kicking a bronze statue? You are just asking to never walk again.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 06:31 AM) Rafael Devers is unbelievable. A left handed batter hitting a 102.8 mph pitch for a homer off LHP Chapman, that is crazy.

Chad Bettis comes back from cancer treatment to throw 7 scoreless innings at Coors Field.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 05:52 PM) Hell yea! I hope he gets a huge statue out front when he retires. "The house that Coop built." Is that Matt Thornton's house?

My only memories of David Duke were from SNL

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 03:44 PM) Ravens sign Thad Lewis (who?) over Kaepernick. Whenever you can sign a QB from Duke, you gotta pull the trigger

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 12:51 PM) FYI nobody in this thread has said this! Not in those exact words, but I've already lost count of all the things I've been accused of doing and thinking via blanket stereotyping. And I didn't even vote for Trump!

QUOTE (brett05 @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) All candidates are married to his/her base. What is Trump's base exactly? 62,984,825 Nazis, all of them. Even the African American and Jewish voters who voted Trump, Nazis.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 10:23 AM) Don't understand your question. My point is he's so much better than Clippard no way we are getting him. If we do get him, start him now, bat him leadoff and see what we got. You just seemed amazed that a 5'6" guy had 10 homers in the minor leagues. I was just showing how the same franchise has a major league player who is 5'6" with 20+ homers and may win the MVP award.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) Tony Kemp is having a great season. How can a guy 5-foot-6 have 10 home runs? He's hitting .324 with a .373 OBP. There's no way this guy is the player to be named for Clippard, who is horrific. If Kemp is the player, the Sox should start him immediately and bat him lead off and see what they've got. Have you ever heard of this guy in Houston? https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/altuvjo01.shtml

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 06:29 PM) Isn't that the guy the Bucs foolishly traded up to draft in the 2nd round last year? I knew he was bad (fantasy team) but that's really surprising they cut him after one year. Like you said, though, good move by the Bears. Yup. It's bad enough to draft a kicker in the 2nd round, let alone trade up to get him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 09:33 PM) Bryce Harper likely tore his ACL tonight Significant bone bruise, but no structural damage. Still might play this season.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 08:47 PM) It's the part of the base that got him nominated and elect people like sessions. Denying that part of the GOP is the ignorance My apologies. I took two months off the Buster because I was always wrong, I clicked again and the same s***. I'm out.
