Are we allowed to get nervous about Moncada at this point?
QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 11:57 AM) If you get caught 20 times and you steal 200, are you still hurting the team? This is like saying "If you hit 80 home runs but strike out 200 times are you hurting the team" in response to "If you hit 20 home runs but strike out 200 times you're hurting the team"

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 10:33 AM) Trump is genius. Misdirection is his forte. He's trying to get people distracted so he can try to pass his disastrous policies. People just need to keep their eyes on the prize, Trump's rhetoric is nothing new and should be treated as white noise. He is what he is. I think less Trump is a genius and more "this is what Fox and Friends is talking about."

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 24, 2017 -> 11:22 PM) Uh oh. Chiefs Justin Houston took a knee to pray today not protest. Made it public with statements about the power of prayer. Uh oh. Many Americans aren't gonna like hearing about praying. Most probably don't give a s***, unless someone tells him he can't or if he's preaching like Tebow.

Tadahito Iguchi for whatever role on the coaching staff he wants. I'd love for every player to have his fire.

The Korea Situation; It's Very Serious
QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 22, 2017 -> 12:55 AM) N. Korea may test nukes over the pacific ocean now. Kim's statements are inflammatory. This should all prove interesting. Why wont China criticize Kim and tell him to grow up? China would be beloved if they took control here. Russia, Greg. I highlighted Russia.

The Korea Situation; It's Very Serious
QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 11:23 PM) Wow Kim says he will respond with fire. It's weird to think the world as we know it is in the hands of Trump n Kim. I wonder if China can do anything to stop the nuke warfare that appears imminent. China and Russia must step in, uh NOW. Not something you want.

2018 MLB Draft
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 03:16 PM) This is an excellent evisceration of the Bulls front office by Stephen Noh from The Athletic: https://theathletic.com/107214/2017/09/21/h...rative-its-you/ I would not trust Gar Forman to pick for the Sox.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 02:43 PM) As to evidence, we have thus far evidence that: 1) Manafort offered access to a Putin associate while he was running Trump's campaign; 2) Kushner tried to create a back channel between Russia and the White House after the election and before inauguration (pretty sure that's the right timeline); 3) Trump, Jr. took a meeting that he understood to be with the Russian government and the context for the meeting was that the Russian government had dirt on Hillary Clinton; 4) Flynn had unauthorized contacts with Russians about sanctions prior to inauguration. 5) Russia meddled in the election in an effort to get Donald Trump elected President. That's a lot of direct evidence of contact between Trump associates and Russia. It might not get to Trump, and it's certainly not direct evidence of collusion. But there's a LOT of smoke here. And to expect anything definitive from Mueller's investigation at this point is absurd. And pointing to the lack of anything definitive as evidence of lack of guilt is equally absurd. The smoke is basically blocking out the sun at this point

Man, the gymnastics going on here. Meeting with Veselnitskaya to discuss "adoptions" means they discussed sanctions. Which if I recall stuff from the Flynn scandal, is potentially super illegal.

9/20/2017 Sox v. Astros
QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 09:17 PM) With that HR Moncada has now surpassed Devers in wRC+. Pretty impressive considering where they both were just a couple weeks ago. Where's the one fan that was so proud he kept hyping up Devers?
