QUOTE (flavum @ May 26, 2017 -> 10:37 AM) If the Sox end up with the worst AL record, I think they get 4th pick next year. That would be acceptable under the rebuild. And to excitement of many, could get them Beer.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 25, 2017 -> 08:09 PM) The difference is that I've learned since chisox.com/WSI to have a thicker skin and not to get a persecution/martyr complex, lol. Everyone has their quirks, it's "just" a message board, and not life or death...it doesn't (or shouldn't) affect our sense of self-worth or families or anything really meaningful, since it's all in good fun and SHOULD be for entertainment purposes only. For example, this year I've learned: 1) Dick Allen really isn't as bad as I thought 2) I never should have listened to Northside about Kevan Smith 3) This board is a lot more conservative/moderate than most like Rabbit tend to believe 4) As well as Rabbit writes about baseball, he's equally infuriating talking about anything non-baseball related 5) Fathom will never change, nor will Greg (both in mostly good ways!!) 6) Southsider2K5 and Witesoxfan and Heads22 remain the 3 mods "everyone would most like to have a beer with" 7) KYyle having an upper and lower case Y in his name is still annoying to the English/grammar side...but he knows more than everyone I grew up with combined about Marvel Comics 8) ElRockin is the best baseball fan in White Sox history 9) The rebuild has really lightened the mood around here and it's easier for people to get along in terms of baseball discussions, but definitely not politics...cool to see some old posters come back, too...wish Scenario hadn't disappeared, and Cubano so we could discuss Moncada/Robert/Victor Mesa Jr. 10) Balta is doing the sane thing by not overreacting to every political development like some of us since NOV 8 11) J4L is still shook up that Schwarber's legend is on the wane, but now he can annoy us with LeBron GOAT talk again (Warriors in 6, book it baby!) Bless you for having a sense of humor about this. Some much needed levity on this board.

So, should a reporter be allowed to punch him for unsatisfactory answers?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2017 -> 10:32 PM) No, it was films of the protests at MU in the library where people were harassed while studying. Turns out some of them marched earlier in the night and they still got reamed for not declaring their white privilege. How bout, "Say please." Or hand out Halloween candy to those who agree to declare their "white privilege" in front of the gangs. Yeah, no. I understand that you get your information from Rush, but that didn't happen. And if it did, it'd have been one small instance because I can't remember. There was no Mad Max roving gang of social justice.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2017 -> 03:37 PM) This is hilarious and makes my point for me. They might as well close the doors of the Hall forever to pitchers. No more players are getting in. These starters aren't even going to sniff 200 wins. And the relievers won't be resilient enough. lol no it doesn't

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 25, 2017 -> 01:48 PM) As in previous years, we will be publishing previews of prospects that seem to be real possibilities for the Sox to pick. First up this year is speedy Vanderbilt CF Jeren Kendall. Get to know this prospect. Pick 11 for Jeren? Yes or no? If Haseley is off the board, I'd be fine with Kendall as an underslot.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 25, 2017 -> 09:30 AM) If he wants, I'm sure caulfield could give him a list of mods. Caulfield, I like you, but this got me.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ May 25, 2017 -> 08:45 AM) What about Sal Perez even warrants mentioning his name alongside the Hall of Fame? Here's a hint. Nothing. Royals

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 25, 2017 -> 08:32 AM) Ironic your response when compared to your question about something that didn't happen in thr past. As Obama didn't have his children, their significant others or any of his inmediste family members in high ranking positions l, it'd hard to speculate what the response would have been. That being said, I can say that the response to Obama being elected president included denying he was an American, I believe I can safely speculate that media outlets would have written storied about something that is newsworthy. Interesting response though, I guess even when something isn't political people are going to blame.Obama than question their dear leader Trump. Seriously f*** that Obama guy, did you know he used fancy mustard one time, not like common man ketchup eating Trump. I think you mean, Donald Trump, son of the blue collar billionaire who isn't so elitist as Obama to live in an upscale house in Chicago.

In other news, Hannity losing advertisers. Ruh-roh

QUOTE (bmags @ May 25, 2017 -> 08:56 AM) The takeaway I have is that the worst thing Bernie sanders did was make his followers believe that the DNC and DCCC are powerful institutions. The same people donating to DNC/DCCC were donating privately to Quist through DailyKos or SwingLeft. The continued b.s. that they are the only ones doing anything just poisons the well. Parallel there between bernie sanders groups and the millionaire who believes they earned everything through sheer force and never had a helping hand. Bernie's refusal to accept that he simply lost the popular vote and pledged delegates has done so much lasting damage to the Democratic Party. It went from "the super delegates will ruin this for us!" to "Super delegates, vote for me!"

QUOTE (oldsox @ May 24, 2017 -> 08:47 PM) Mods are exempt Oldsox, seriously?

Man, Fox News is backing up the story. That's how you know you f***ed up.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 24, 2017 -> 08:33 PM) No, they were acting like wins and losses were still important which got my mind rolling because this board despises the W/L stat. Well, I heard on talk radio that sabermetrics and traditional stats work well together.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 24, 2017 -> 03:59 PM) My favorite argument is that 20 year olds dont need insurance. Has anyone BEEN to a doctor on a college campus? Its full as f***. I developed epilepsy at 19 and have subsequently racked up thousands in ER bills that boil down to them giving me water.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 24, 2017 -> 03:30 PM) Man I always miss good Q.I'm right here

Yo, Kevan. You may need a new glove.

Man, Greg thought this was the ultimate "GOTCHA" thread, didn't he?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 24, 2017 -> 12:04 PM) Can't wait until NCAA start investigating Missouri 1. Washington and U of I fire coaches 2., Porter hired as coach at school where he previously coached with his sister-in-law, who still coaches there. 3. Porter Jr. very publicly recruiting. 4. Tilmon put the whole process on Twitter 5. Investigation done.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 24, 2017 -> 08:14 AM) Trump team now claiming that their multi-trillion dollar counting error in their budget was...intentional?? It's like they're trying to go super-villain, but trying to appear competent at the same time.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 24, 2017 -> 07:24 AM) Compared to when? That time when all we had to worry about was a grade school getting shot up

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 23, 2017 -> 10:58 PM) So how do guys get in the Hall of Fame from now on? What criteria? Have 75% of voters vote for them.

Basketball will be important in bringing back students. Decline in enrollment isn't entirety due to protests, the whole state has had declining high school graduation and surrounding states have stepped their game up.

Any one know why Willy got pulled?

Yeah, they can drop her if Trumpcare goes through
