QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) There aren't a lot of non HOF players that have hit 25 homers and have driven in 100 four consecutives years anyway. Joe Carter is one off my head I'm pretty sure did it. Has any White Sox other than Frank Thomas done it? I'm guessing no. Paulie came close in '04-'07, but fell 10 rbis short in 07

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 03:05 PM) Three of those guys are leadoff types and wouldn't be getting the RBI opportunities. That said, Jose was in a good position to make history and made it. I don't want to downplay it too much. Cespedes, Gurriel

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 02:55 PM) I mean Dick asked for an explanation and he gave it. Most foreign guys are not coming over in their prime. Ichiro, Gurriel, Cespedes, Iguchi, Fukudome, etc. I'd say a lot of Japanese and Cuban players do. And none of them did what Jose did.

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"

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."

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.

I like Giolito when he works with Coop.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Sep 24, 2017 -> 02:46 PM) he Steelers not coming onto the field during the National Anthem, now they're getting beat by the Da Bears. Karma! ?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 24, 2017 -> 03:13 PM) They are not protesting trump..... They definitely are, but only protesting him as the symptom, not the disease.

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

Almost 3.5 million Americans are without power. God, I hope we help them with everything we can.

The Ringer has a good write up about how we might get to see Team USA Melo in the NBA finally. https://www.theringer.com/nba/2017/9/23/163...anthony-thunder

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 22, 2017 -> 02:55 PM) I kinda liked the hill. Baseball fields are too samey now. Wasn't it removed because it provided an injury risk?

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Sep 22, 2017 -> 03:33 PM) Me too, but if he falls to our second pick, is it worth the risk then? Yes

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.

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.

Well, was actually excited for his start tonight.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 03:47 PM) IMO it's way to early to tell regarding Beer - it's all about how his year is going in 2018 at draft time. Yup. Going into the 2016 draft season, Alec Hansen was the 1-1 favorite

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.

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

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 01:02 PM) I love NOah. Dude didn't work on his game? When bulls season was tanking without Rose and trading Deng, Thibs asked him to become a point guard and he DID it and was GOOD at it. All while being the DPOY

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.
