Bruh, which countries are ravaging our borders?

Ah, our education system that is flush with cash.

Sounds like the crowds at The Cell for the past year.

Sounded like a small bit of boos for Mitch and Ryan.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) where our healthcare was 1/3 less, our work force was greater, our poverty less, our debt 50% less, our poor less. Yes that time period. I hope you don't have to be right in your job.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 09:27 AM) that is so odd, and sad. It has been a major roadblock for him. Similarly, playing in different decades caused him to have detractors.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 04:23 AM) It would be cool if one day being a teacher was something you did after your main career was over. Like after you acquire wisdom from living in the world for many decades. Kids would benefit so much more if teaching was more voluntary from older, wiser people. Right now you have all these fall-down-blackout-drunk sluts from s***ty state schools becoming teachers at 22 who burn the candle at both ends. I know that is a HUGE & RIDICULOUS rambling generalization but we all know plenty of these ladies. And I get it, we need too many of them to probably ever weed out the junk. But maybe one day there will be the following headlines during a teachers' strike: "10,000 55-70 yr. old Chicagoans volunteer to teach for the rest of the year while teachers' union forces teachers to strike." "After 1 day of 'The Replacements'- Chicago kids are more interested in school than ever before!" "Kids gaining wisdom & role models at school for the first time ever new study finds." "Ambition discovered at local highschool. Thought to have gone extinct decades ago." "Life lessons, successes & failures, woven into english class at local school. Attendance skyrockets." Boom. Pension problem fixed in Jerksticks' Dreamland. No longer a job, but a way to give back once your nest empties. Age does not grant wisdom, which does not grant the ability to teach.

Fun fact: The Veteran's Committee is allowed to vote on Minoso the negro league player or Minoso the MLB player. Not both.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 01:46 PM) Worth noting that Collins was #2 previously, but that probably has more to do with those ahead of him upping their stock, versus Collins dropping. I expect Collins to move upwards on the top 100 list. Kelley especially.

Perry actually didn't sound half bad in his hearing.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 12:36 PM) I saw a Cubs fan on Twitter yesterday say David Ross is a Hall of Famer. It was unbelievable. Literally everyone gets in at that point.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 11:27 AM) ROFL He regurgitates Rush and Fox News. Don't expect anything else.

His shot died when he had the wrist injury in 2012. He was carrying a near .400 average halfway through the season then it got derailed and his power seemed gone.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 09:13 AM) Very true http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2687747...culation/page/5 This is from bleacher report today and suggests a Pirates offer of: Meadows + Glasnow + Diaz might work for both sides It suggests the White Sox will ask for Meadows + Glasnow + Keller, but the Pirates would be unwilling to part with that much. They could offer the lower tier Diaz instead to round out the package and fill in a platoon catcher option for the Sox. I'd love a Meadows + Glasnow + Newman deal I'd take a Meadows, Glasnow and Diaz deal any day of the week. That's better than the Eaton deal and probably better than the Sale deal.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 12:02 AM) If our country is going to go downhill forevermore, I just wish it'd speed up and Armageddon would be tomorrow. Nobody can hope for the best. Nobody can get behind Trump, whom MILLIONS of AMERICANS voted for. We all despise him. Basically we despise everybody who doesn't agree with us, choose OUR candidate. I don't understand why people don't actually hope for the best at this point. Like I said a lot of successful people, reasonable people think Trump can turn the economy around and maybe the little guy can make as much money as his/her parents made. Right now, that's a dream that never will be a reality. Just think, your kids will never do as well financially as you are doing. GET BEHIND TRUMP until he commits an impeachable offense folks. Let's all prosper! We are Americans! Nah. I'm not one to goosestep to the beat of a racist, xenophobic demagouge. If he actually shows he cares about the American people, sure, but otherwise f*** Trump. Unlike Obama, we don't hate him because of what people say he'll do (take away guns, death panels) but because of what he say's he'll do (build a frivolous wall, ruin NATO, NAFTA, the Paris Agreement, ban Muslims from entering the country, etc.). But that's not what they say on Fox News.

NL Cy Young numbers

Something working in favor of the Sox for Beer is that they play in the AL, whereas all of the other tankers are in the NL.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 04:54 PM) The politically correct police win again... There was nothing wrong with that tweet. I actually laughed at it. That's not political correctness. It's simply demonstrating maturity levels.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 03:33 PM) 5 days ago. Bluff called.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 02:37 PM) Sponsored by Total Lubricants. WTF. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 10:32 AM) http://m.mlb.com/news/article/213616014/20...picid=151437456 It's crazy to see 3 White Sox on this list. Glasnow is 2 and Martes is 5 which is fun because Sox have been linked to both guys in Quintana talks. Let's get one!

God. Damn.

Let me get in on that vigil.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 08:56 AM) [crosses fingers] For which outcome?
