QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2017 -> 12:12 PM) Rivalries don't die because teams play each other a lot. You can go down the list of long term rivalries. If you put the Sox and Cubs in the same division and REALLY gave them something to play against each other for, it could actually intensify it to Red Sox vs Yankees levels. And not only are they now competing for a division title against one another, they're even more readily fighting for fans.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 25, 2017 -> 11:21 AM) They posted a fix, but c'mon, two years in a row?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 25, 2017 -> 09:30 AM) We knew that the dossier started its life with the Jeb and Cruz campaigns and after the primaries was then funded by "Democrat-associated people" but the DNC and Clinton camp denied direct involvement IIRC. Either way though, there's nothing unusual about conducting opposition research. The work appears to have been legit, and Mueller and Co. will investigate and substantiate what claims, if any, are true. And yeah it's still a couple of steps removed from receiving emails saying "would you like to collude with the Russian government's efforts to help you win" "yes!!!!" https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...bbb9_story.html Also a few steps from publicly requesting Russian interference.

Yeah, Lauri has been a joy to watch. Hopefully he'll pair well with whichever one of the Big 5 the Bulls get.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 25, 2017 -> 08:41 AM) This was literally written in 2016. Didn’t we all already know this? Is this to smokescreen the fact that Trump outsourced his research to Russia? Gaslight, Obstruct, Project

QUOTE (ron883 @ Oct 24, 2017 -> 12:03 AM) Scrap those. Moncada, Eloy, and Kopech. That's where my vote goes. You mad man

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 10:06 PM) NOOOOOOOOOO. Are we keeping him as the banner for his legacy or...? Only until he hits the Hall of Fame

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 05:53 PM) Your opinions generally come from whatever radio show you heard that day from what I gather. KO'd QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 07:39 PM) Restored today Damn that was fast.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 03:17 PM) Thats why I dont understand his angle. Almost nothing to be gained by labeling himself an "independent" and he loses a lot of influence in the Democratic party. Didn't he say he'd run as a democract next time?

Bill Browder's visa was revoked by the US State Department. I'm sure it has nothing to do with Russia, the Magnitsky Act, or Browder's expertise on Russian corruption.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 12:58 AM) Now greg, I was told by you it was a LOCK that the Cubs would be back in the World Series. I was told not to even think twice. So why should we take your prediction of Cubs “one and done” seriously? Bet the house, baby.

My dad grew up idolizing Koufax, so his Dodger love passed on to me.

QUOTE (GermanSock @ Oct 22, 2017 -> 08:16 AM) the cubs traded josh donaldson. those things happen. it is not ideal but everyone makes mistakes. that is not an exact science you sometimes pick the wrong guy. now it is possible that that move costs the sox a ws but they still have a great farm and a chance to build a really good team. As we all know, trading Josh Donaldson, DJ LeMahieu and Chris Archer prevented the Cubs from winning.

QUOTE (35thstreetswarm @ Oct 20, 2017 -> 02:57 PM) Yes, it would be really nice for them if they had Gleyber Torres and Eloy coming up through their system to fill some of these holes. To be fair, if they have Torres they likely don't have a ring.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 20, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) She did sell all the Uranium in the world to Russia. In the basement of a pizza shop.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 20, 2017 -> 02:31 PM) Time is a flat circle. When s*** really gets bad, Seth Rich will get brought back up. It’s all in the playbook. Or time traveling uranium deals.

QUOTE (35thstreetswarm @ Oct 20, 2017 -> 09:18 AM) I have to say, I just don't get some Sox fans' impulse to defend Jose Quintana's honor endlessly -- on these boards, to their Cub fan friends, etc. I don't begrudge anyone their attachment to certain players, but it's just not how I look at the sports world, so I find it fascinating. I root for teams, not players. Maybe I'd make an exception for a true White Sox legend who plays a short stint for another team at the end of his career (ala Frank Thomas), but when a player's not on the Sox anymore, they're gone to me. Especially when they go to a team I don't like. Q plays for the Cubs now. I can't stand the Cubs. I hope the world looks back on the trade as an absolute fleecing by Hahn. He was a professional and leader for our team, never complaining while the ace was cutting up jerseys.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2017 -> 07:24 PM) I have yet to see any Democrat face anything near the backlash that the Republicans give to their own. Democrats march in lockstep with their leaders right or wrong.

And I can't forget the President who fabricates around 5 lies a day.

Well when Fox News is allowed to fabricate stories left and right, of course everyone will distrust people that report real stories that don't gain traffic on Breitbart, The Blaze, InfoWars, etc.

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 07:23 PM) The best part of the whole NLCS happened yesterday when Yu Darvish was at the plate. Or how about the Mat Albers double last year? That kind of fun doesn't happen with the DH. Plus the DH takes away a lot of the strategy. So yes there are people who like to see pitchers hit. Yeah, but Jim Thome and Frank Thomas are more fun to watch hit.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 12:25 PM) Yankees having effectively 4 closers on most other teams in the same bullpen is crazy. Meanwhile, the Astros, Cubs, Nats and Red Sox all kind of settled for their bullpens.

Don't forget the Khan family.
