QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 27, 2017 -> 07:17 AM) The last sentence is 100% true. Yeah, I don't understand why elderly Republicans feel the need to scream at my students for covering their election event without bias, saying the poor liberal media and poor college students are f***ed. What we don't understand is that no matter the sourcing, the facts proven, the vetting, etc. why the Trump supporters are so willing to believe easily proven and verifiable lies. MSNBC, Fox and CNN do not an industry make. But then again, resident White House Nazi Steve Bannon knows.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 02:31 PM) What? https://twitter.com/ZekeJMiller/status/824712911511756805 NEWS: @PressSec tells pool that Trump intends to pay for wall by imposing a 20 percent tax on all imports from Mexico. So now we are paying for it? My grocery store is f***ed.

QTalk continues.

Obama kept or compromised on 75% of his promises. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/pr...bameter/browse/

After the past five days, my answer is "someone qualified"

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 08:25 PM) Reddy, why did she want to be President, other than to be the first woman? It was never crystal clear. I don't even remember her campaign tagline, but we all know Trump's and Obama's. They tried 2-3 different ones but nothing stuck. I also find it pretty telling that a lot of Clinton Foundation initiatives are being wound down now that they're seemingly permanently out of power...that indicates to that me their motivations for helping people were more calculated and political than altruistic and philanthropic. Helping people is a lifetime calling to service that doesn't just stop when you lose an election. Uh, her 30 years of public service and campaign platform kinda made it clear.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 03:44 PM) She was a legitimately awful candidate. Twice she was anointed the next President. Twice she blew it. There was just nothing about Hillary Clinton that spoke to the American people by and large, other than she wasn't Donald Trump. She could barely hold off Bernie Sanders for the nomination, and she lost to the worst Presidential major party candidate since Andrew Jackson. I mean you can try blaming the right wing for that, but if that was the case, how come they didn't work their magic to take down Barack Obama at some point? She had very little issue holding off Bernie

Already discussed.

Steve Bannon is registered to vote in two states, so there's the voter fraud.

Huntington: "Hey, Rick. We're gonna relent and give you a package around Meadows." Hahn: "Sorry Neil, SoxFest happened."

Tilson gets my vote.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 08:46 AM) I think if guys like Call and Curbelo are top 15 prospects, then this system probably isn't as good as people think it is. It's very top heavy. The next 2 years are very important. Curbelo's ceiling keeps him high while Call's production in CF keeps him. You're not going to find world beaters in any systems 15 range, but both of them have the ability to shoot up.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 09:10 AM) Maybe this is the democrats way of trying to sabotage the republican party, confirm all the picks, watch the carnage, and win the midterms in 2018? Could also be a way to say they didn't do complete obstructionism, but only voted against the particularly bad ones. Then it also highlights to the voting populace how bad DeVos, Tillerson, etc. are.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 05:48 PM) My favorite meathead opinion to throw at cubs fans friends is assertion that Q in NL would be a sub 2 era pitcher. While I dramatize for effect, Q to me has quite a bit of stat improvement if going to NL, to a good defensive team and to a team with better pitch framing. With the Cubs defense, Q would be absurd in the NL.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 04:41 PM) Q is a #1 on many but not sure most teams. I would think the heavy favorites to meet in the 2017 World Series are the Red Sox and Cubs. Q is a #3 on both of them. And whichever one has him has the edge in that scenario.

It's definitely not bannable and I don't feel threatened. Now, would a Nazi find it morally OK to kill me? Yes. This all boils down to where the morals of individuals and then society come from. Applying blanket Christian morality to the entire United States would be the equivalent of Sharia Law. When I say individuals come up with morals, I should clarify: society tends to decide what is morally correct, some through the Bible and others not. Most in society would say pre-marital sex is fine in today's society.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 01:59 PM) It's not a Soxtalk thing, it's a sports fan thing. It's an everyone thing.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 01:01 PM) So these individuals decide we no longer need a world with Quinarvy in it, that's be perfectly moral. I'm trying to debate if you just threatened me or not. Tread carefully here.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 11:18 AM) 3) What makes it antiquated? What determines morality? Individuals. The GOP playing morality police is the most disgusting pillar upon which they're built.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 10:49 AM) Q would be in Pittsburgh if this offer was on the table. That is the Pirates #2, #3, #4, #5 and Diaz is somewhere from #8-#12. This trade would make a top ten farm system a bottom third farm system. This is where people saying they wouldn't take this are out of their mind.

You guys are telling me you'd turn down Glasnow, Newman, Keller, Hayes and Diaz? You add two Top 100 arms, two Top 100 (depending on who is ranking) bats and a projectable catcher? Glasnow ranks above Giolito and Kopech right now, Keller is rising fast and Hayes is a Top 10 3B prospect. If Glasnow, Newman, Keller, Hayes, Diaz is on the table, take it and flip Jones/Glasnow for a bat like Frazier or Robles + a flier. And it's Rick Hahn, who loves three way deals.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 10:15 AM) Franklin Perez (HOU) and Ke'Bryan Hayes (PIT) are ranked 66 and 74, respectively in Law's top 100. BOth names bandied about around here in Q rumors. I really think if it came to it I'd be content telling Pirates they need to go depth if they're not including Meadows or Bell. Something like Glasnow/Newman/Hayes/Diaz with the possibility of Keller would be a phenomenal deal. Which tells me I'm looking at a deal that wouldn't be offered.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 11:05 PM) Jedi is singular or plural, so it doesn't tell us a ton. The red color of the logo is interesting. What if it's Kylo Ren and the red font hints at that?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 09:47 AM) Trump Administration Imposes Freeze On EPA Grants and Contracts Coupled with the Keystone Access, I never want to hear "Hillary would be just as bad!" for the environment ever again.

I'd say a combination of ceiling, expected production and circumstance. Davidson, May and Delmonico all have had their shine diminish, profile as bench players and wouldn't be getting called up if not for the fact that the Sox are rebuilding.
