I think it's official, the Sox do well when we have zero expectations.

Watch this team pull a 2000 White Sox on all of us.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 01:46 PM) It's always someone else's fault with him. Why don't they press him on his comment that Flynn, much like Bill O'Reilly later, did nothing wrong. So if Obama's been such a failure for so long (according to Trump) and he did the same thing the Obama administration did, wouldn't that mean that Trump also failed?

Browns might trade for Cousins.

Did the Niners somehow convince the Bears they were going to take Trubisky?

Trubisky are you f***ing kidding me?

I hope we didn't give up anything too crazy to move up one pick.

QUOTE (almagest @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 03:41 PM) I haven't yet, but I've watched a lot of 4k content on Youtube, Amazon, Netflix and 4k Bluray and I'm a full convert. I can't wait to see sports in 4k. It's crazy how 4k sports hasn't gone mainstream yet. 4K TVs are very affordable now.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 03:09 PM) Both Kiper and McCshay have Browns taking Trubisky #1 in their final mock. The more I see all the mocks connecting Browns to Trubisky, the more that it makes sense the Browns play it safe and just draft him #1. I don't understand this. The Browns have a ton of draft picks and I don't think Tennessee wants to pick at #5. Why don't the Browns trade for #5 with their #12 and a second round pick instead?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 03:34 PM) The one bad thing for the Bears is that next years draft supposedly has the superior QB talent, but unless youre the browns its hard to consistently get top 2 picks. They could also just wait till round 3-4 and grab a guy like Peterman. (edit) New rumors are Garrett will be #1 and Jags may take Watson. Kiper and McShay just said Trubisky will go #1 in their latest mock. It'd be kind of weird for Jacksonville to take Watson considering Bortles isn't a complete flop (yet).

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 12:12 AM) I repeat, the radio talk show guys say Trump has been awesome thus far and there's a liberal attack on the White House that is failing. lol who, Rush Limbaugh?

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) 11-9, best bullpen this month. Same thing happened last year with this pen. Then it turned into our biggest weakness after April.

It's looking like Hahn made a good gamble with Robertson. He looks as sharp as ever right now. He can fetch a lot at the deadline I'd imagine.

Robertson is hard to recognize without his beard.

Leave it to the Sox to finally start beating KC when we're not expected to compete.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 03:55 PM) That's always the problem with Putnam. Just doesn't seem like that elbow will ever hold up. He's great when healthy, but that just doesn't happen. His mechanics are bad. It hurts my arm when I see him pitch.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 10:03 AM) Broken Thumb for Rondo. He's done. Ugh What the f***? When did this happen?

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 10:27 AM) Here's what I think If the CLE takes Garrett and San Fran (or whomever) takes Thomas: - Bears take a QB If Cle takes Garrett and San Fran takes Fournette or something silly: - Bears take Thomas - Bears trade into late first and get Mahomes/Kizer. But I think they'll end up with a QB at 3. I can't see the Bears taking a QB at 3. They'll trade down and get Trubisky/Mahomes/Kizer.

Hey guys, remember when Jake Arrieta came out of nowhere, started throwing 96 MPH, and dominating hitters? Hmm, that was head scratching too.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 02:34 PM) Totally fair points here but I don't post many links to opinion pieces or anything like that, more just my opinions. So I am not sure what you're referring to when you say "what I post" unless you mean my opinions as opposed to links. If I did post any right leaning publication then SS and the left wing guys laugh at the source. If I post a more centrist link athen Caulfield and others will respond with a Vox/Salon link as if it's not as fringe as the Breitbarts of the world. I lose either way. As far as what I underlined in your post, I agree most people see through the MSM, just not on this board. We have people defending the media like it's their job and acting as if there isn't a bias. As if they're not a corporate entity that's entirely bought out for influence. The public's trust in the MSM is almost as bad as their trust in Congress. For instance, CNN has been defended as evenhanded around here. I haven't been watching the MSM today. Is that all everybody is talking about? I can't imagine they're giving all the airtime to the NYT's gaffe. If they are, you're right. If they're not, you're wrong. United dominated the news for days. This just blew up on Twitter. There's no opportunity cost in me posting on a forum. EDIT: Just checked CNN, FOX and MSNBC's websites. Fox and MSNBC don't mention it. It's about the 20th link listed on CNN. So you're wrong. I mean they don't slant as obviously as Fox or MSNBC, so I guess that makes them less biased. But that doesn't mean they don't also have an agenda. There was a good video the other day about how CNN is covering politics like it's sports and paying Trump surrogates so they can have their other experts argue with them and talk about the stupid s*** they say all day. As for the stuff you post, you, Caufield, StrangeSox, DickAllen obviously have some sort of pissing match going on about who can troll each other more. Of course you guys are going to mock each other endlessly regardless of what is posted.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 02:18 PM) To quote you from another thread, with minor tweaks highlighted: Yeah, but this is clear proof that the MSM is biased!

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 01:41 PM) All the feels when the media f***s up. Wow. Patriots say turnout was the exact same as far as people from the Patriots. Tweet says turnout was less and posts a deceiving picture. Yes, less players. Amendola and Brady specifically had death of a friend/personal issues. NYT has an agenda and they got caught in it. Of course they do. But don't pretend any of the stuff you post doesn't have any either. All media (conservative/liberal) are black/white nowadays. You're not exposing the MSM for what it is when most people on this board can already see through it.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 11:00 AM) NYT caught lying about Patriots Trump visit. Patriots expose them. Twitter explodes. https://twitter.com/patriots/status/854858415012806656 I don't think they lied... Picture might have been misleading, but if you read the article, it says less players attended this year (34) vs. 2015 (50). The article also said this... Blame whoever runs NYT's Twitter. The article itself doesn't seem biased.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 09:34 AM) Wow I missed that he said that. Nervous that he will meet with Abe and then say that China was once part of Japan. That might actually start WWIII. "Who knew history was so complicated?"

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 19, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) Imagine being so dumb, you go to Auburn and tell them football is bad. He should try that at Bama.
