QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 02:56 PM) Very interesting piece here on whether the past of David Deo (United passenger injured when getting dragged off flight) should have been dredged up by media outlets as part of this story. What do you folks think? Should the fact Dr. Deo 13 years ago got in SERIOUS trouble with the law been a part of this story or not? I have mixed emotions. It seems to me it is pertinent for folks to wonder a bit about the victim of this atrocity, hence fair game to write about who Dr. Deo is and what happened in his past. I enjoyed reading this item, however. It's not too often newspaper people take the type of position this author did. I have no forceful opinion on this either way. http://www.freep.com/story/opinion/columni...tion/100334210/ His last name is Dao, Grag.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 06:10 PM) He still issued a written statement that implies Jews weren't Germans. https://www.facebook.com/PressSec/posts/1666955626934539 And in his apology to Wolf Blitzer, he messed up again by defending Trump's efforts to "destabilize the region" Just fire him already. He's clearly not fit for the job. If you're a press secretary and you keep screwing up verbally, you shouldn't be the press secretary.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 04:38 PM) http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/11/politics/iva...raph/index.html Nice to know Ivanka's now a military advisor as well http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/11/politics/iva...ouse/index.html "Ivanka is by his side in Washington. She is not involved in everything. I think she comes and goes with issues she deeply cares about but when you get to a certain level of power a lot of times, and you see this in business too, a lot of times people will say yes just because you happen to be the boss...I think it gives you a sounding board who is a little bit more unconventional than the 37 people that might happen to be standing round a table at that one time who just want to appease." Totally fascinating, right? What we learn from Eric Trump here is that: 1) Ivanka is the person in the White House who can tell her father "no" and 2) her installation as a formal adviser -- with a West Wing office -- might well be in reaction to the family's concerns that Trump wasn't getting the right sort of advice from "37 people that might be standing around a table at that one time who just want to appease." I'd rather have it be Ivanka than Steve Bannon.

Anderson's gonna have a lot of issues with Miller's slider.

Saladino with a good AB. Bad luck though.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 04:49 PM) If he keeps pitching like this, we may contend. We may be buyers instead of sellers. Yeah I really doubt that.

Shields' velocity looks way better. He's hitting 92. We might be able to flip him at the deadline if he's serviceable.

Spicer must hold a lot of UA stock. This will get them out of the news cycle lol.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 01:36 PM) Borussia Dortmund - Monaco CL match postponed as a couple of explosions went off near the Dortmund team bus on the way to their stadium. Only one player taken to the injury with minor injury from flying glass, not Prince Pulisic. It was Marc Bartra. Pretty f***ed up.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 09:21 AM) Oh god, now they are digging up dirt on this passenger. AWful. Dude won $250,000 at the World Series of Poker. He just got more badass. I don't think most reasonable people would care what this guy did prior to getting violently dragged out of the plane. That does not matter. It's not like deserves it based on what he did previously. This isn't just about him, it's about consumer rights. I don't think United understands that.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 06:37 PM) I'm such a gambling addict. I saw let's make a bet and immediately got excited. Are you guys betting that the suspect is muslim or something? We got ourselves a bookie!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) No, but as everyone can recall I was a huge Bernie supporter. ...but you didn't vote for him in the primaries?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 11:32 AM) Of course that's the case. The four years are going to go fast like they all do and he has no chance of re-election but the haters refuse to 'wait and see' how Trump does. Don't worry Trump bashers ... he's not going to win re-election so why not hope for the best right now and wish him well? Nothing you can do about the last election now. Some of us tried to help out the Democrats and got behind Bernie, but noooooo. Wait Greg, you voted for Bernie?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:03 AM) Them and Rangers....2 teams to follow. And the Giants. Although I think Melancon should be OK.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:26 AM) I'm sort of confused by what the relation is to "neolibs" too since neoliberalism is about economics and it seems like a pretty tenuous connection to anti-Muslim immigration policies. He's gotta use a word besides just liberals every once in a while.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:13 AM) He was mocked because he implied a terrorist attack happened the previous night in Sweden. This was right around the same time that Conway made up the Bowling Green Massacre and Spicer made up an attack in Atlanta. Exactly. You wanna have a real discussion about refugees in Sweden? Then don't lead it off by implying there was some non-existent terrorist attack. People won't take you seriously.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 07:02 AM) Exactly. Seven people were killed by 54 missiles. Russia was informed of the attack instead of congress. Trump is so concerned about Syrian children that he bombed an airfield, but won't take them into our country. I also love that so many anti-Hillary people thought she'd be a war mongerer who would start a war with Russia. Yet here we are, 3 months in, and that's what we're heading for. Liberal conspiracy theory time: US and Russia both escalate this conflict, Putin and Trump pretend to talk it out, US drops sanctions on Russia in exchange for our ability to take out Assad. Trump and Putin look great while giving Exxon the ability to drill in Antarctica.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 01:03 AM) I'm sure Trump decided to bomb Syria to dispel a liberal talking point. I'm sure it had nothing to do with sarin gas that was released. You have to let it go with the conspiracy stuff. You know what's funny? Trump supporters were saying the chemical attack was a conspiracy. So which one is it?

Steve Bannon Calls Jared Kushner a ‘Cuck’ and ‘Globalist’ Behind His Back Good to see Bannon saying s*** the people who read his website says. Also, in conspiracy theory circles (which I think Breitbart is now a part of), the term Globalist is another word for Jews. Good to see Steve Bannon totally isn't an anti-Semite.

Tigers with a great gameplan against Q. He just isn't to put them away right now.

I love this new pitch cast with the over the top view of the plate. Edit: pitch type too! Impressive.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) Team Puerto Rico's/ Mets pitcher Seth Lugo has a tear in his UCL. Ouch. I wonder how much the WBC had to do with that.

Ugh, why'd they have to put this on MLB Network? I'm blacked out on MLB.tv. Thanks a lot rain.

The S8's hardware looks great. I contemplated ordering one. Then I remembered Samsung's crap software goes to a crawl after a few months like Windows Vista. I hope Samsung at least pioneered the industry for new screen technology and design. Because the S8 is a gorgeous piece of hardware.
