Seeing other teams launch rebuilds makes me grateful the Sox had the pieces they had to kickstart the rebuild

I really enjoy that Trump's lawyer is using Nixon's defense

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 3, 2017 -> 02:23 AM) I feel bad for Flynn. Seems like he lives by a good code and is one hell of a patriot. He got screwed. His own doing it seems, but the smear after just seems distasteful. Dude served his country for a long time and held his ground to the previous administration til he got pushed out. Politics aside, he's got a big set of American-loving balls. I love people that work for foreign governments to plan kidnappings of people from American soil.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 01:11 PM) I have no idea what the f*** you’re getting at here. Maybe you don’t know what the word “disingenuous” actually means. I'm sure he does. Keep the intellect of posters out of this.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 12:59 PM) Sadly, a Padres fan could have felt the exact same way about the White Sox signing Luis Robert. Nah, they really couldn't when talking historical context like Bmags was doing.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 02:46 PM) I read somewhere on twitter he's basically best friends with Manny Machado. Doubt it is true but maybe Castillo can help for a big push for him next offseason. It's a bit out there for sure but it can't hurt to speculate. Recruitment continues

I like it. Can package Smith or Narvaez in a trade, since they held their own withe bat

White House already saying he's an Obama administration official, nothing to see here.

Government is also going to reportedly seize Once Upon a Time in Shaolin from Martin Shkreli. Today is a good day.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 30, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) So it sounds like we asked for Devers or Benintendi and the talks are off for the time being. Heyman Lmao Rick

QUOTE (FT35 @ Nov 30, 2017 -> 10:56 AM) It's got to be a brain thing more than anything. Left/Right dominance starts there. I just don't think most people have proper (natural) development in that area of their brain. Now if you want to make a lot of money, figure out what needs to be done from a surgical standpoint and "pitch" the idea at a medical conference. While they're in there intentionally tearing/repairing every HS freshman's Tommy John parts so they "heal stronger", they can make a quick switch in the head so they can all wake up super human. Yeah, while I never pitched, I mirrored throwing my right hand from the left side and was able to.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 05:15 PM) Luis Gutierrez is the poster child for gerrymandering. I nominate Vicky Hartzler.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 30, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) White House Plans Tillerson Ouster From State Dept., to Be Replaced by Pompeo, Within Weeks Sen. Cotton would be put in charge of CIA Do not like Also does this mean Mattis and Mnuchin bail?

I didn't like parting with Q (Eloy made it good in retrospect), but I would absolutely loathe losing Abreu. Sadly, it makes sense if they get their price. But Jose is just a wonderful presence. I'd need following packages, if we're asking arm and both legs. Red Sox: Groome, Chavis + Flier - Groome helps balance the lack of LHP, Chavis shores up 3rd. Cardinals: Kelly, Perez ++ Rockies: Dahl, Pint + Flier Really have no clue who the fourth interested team is.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 04:02 PM) I definitely wouldn't non tender Jose Abreu. Just my opinion. Let's check with Ron

Yeah, if I'm a pitcher with health concerns, White Sox are my choice in a vacuum.

Infinity War trailer coming tomorrow

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 12:14 PM) Then again Indians is really a racial slur as it is a western construct based on faulty history and the dismantling of the natives established nations and tribes in a very successful effort to dehumanize them. Bring back the Cleveland Spiders. Or just give them something related to Rock & Roll.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 12:09 PM) He's also a convicted criminal And has been cited by Sarah Huckabee Sanders in a presser!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 10:31 AM) On this site? Yes. I always think we are above that fray. On another note, boy that Project Veritas is corrupt as f*** huh? Talked about briefly in the Dem thread, but yeah, anything James O'Keefe and Project Veritas touch is liable to be a piece of s***. ACORN, PP and CNN vids in the past, but the Washington Post clapped back with extreme source vetting. O'Keefe then posted a video of a WashPo employee basically explaining how a newsroom works because op-eds exist. This was his proof of whatever stupid thing he was trying to sell. Also worth noting, Trump (or at least his charity foundation) has donated to Veritas in the past.

Gonna agree with Matt here. Also, in other news, James O'Keefe is back at it, this time trying to bait The Washington Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...m=.090eb96d0ada
