QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) This Gen. Petraeus thing is so hysterical because one - he should not be allowed to serve in gov't again as he actually knowingly gave intel to his mistress and was prosecuted and two - because I would be somewhat relieved because despite him being incredibly reckless he is broadly more competent than others Trump has nominated. Compared to all the other choices I'm all about Petraeus. But then INTEL! AFFAIR! LOUD NOISES!

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 04:51 PM) He's not a huge fan, but he's probably the most high profile White Sox fan there is, unless you count the rappers who probably only wear Sox hats as a fashion accessory. Obama Chance the Rapper ...um...there's...that one guy That's about it for famous fans.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 05:48 PM) Pence would be as bad, if not worse, than crooked Trump. Agreed. I think we're heading there.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 12:00 PM) I keep thinking nothing will come of this recount stuff but this cycle has just been so bizarre, out there, and annoying that I don't know what to think. Agreed. I don't think anything comes of it, but then again I didn't expect any of this election to play out as it did. I'm guessing the next move is that Pence becomes president in a year or two, due to a number of possible scenarios.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) Knowing the Clinton history of playing behind the scenes I think it is much more likely that a surrogate put Stein up to starting the process so that Hillary's campaign could have a cover to jump on it with some plausible deniability built into the process. I find it amazing that Stein was able to get not only the money, but the publicity to raise the money after being essentially ignored the entire electoral process. How does that happen? Social media appealing to those livid with Trump's win. This is essentially how Bernie got his movement together.

Occam's Razor would lead us to this... 1) Hillary loses three states unexpectedly, Russian hackers have been up and down this election, groups implore her to do a recount 2) Hillary, having conceded and respecting the transfer of power, doesn't call for the recount. 3) Jill Stein, realizing that Trump is worse for her Green Party beliefs than Hillary, uses her position to call for a recount. 4) Stein raises the money because millions of Stein/Bernie/Hillary supporters are dreading a Trump presidency and want to have faith in their election, which the victor has said is rigged multiple times. 5) With a recount underway, Clinton campaign decides that'll jump in because it's already happening so might as well help out. 6) People meme photos of Hillary shouting she's a hypocrite because that's their existing stance on her and they want confirmation bias.

Everyone's political leanings aside, this would probably be the best possible thing to happen to the White Sox since 2005. You'd have the superstar owner that could actually draw free agents.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 24, 2016 -> 02:13 AM) Hmmmm. Hillary still has a shot at oval office? Barring this year getting any more unexpectedly insane, no. But looks like Stein just raised enough to call for the recounts, so sit back, relax and strap it down.

Wilbur Ross likely to be named Secretary of Commerce. Todd Ricketts to be deputy Secretary. http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles...ary-person-says

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 06:09 AM) Think the nba should put the C position back on the all-star ballot or what? They definitely should.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 10:09 AM) I actually laughed after seeing this. The whole "accept the election" meme has now come full circle. One of these days you would think candidates and parties would learn to quit saying things for short term gain, but then again as willing as their followers are to make excuses for them, they really don't need to be honest. Well, no, it hasn't. It's at like 95% of the circle. Because unlike Donald, Hillary hasn't ever indicated anything but accepting the election.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 01:11 PM) Trump nominates two prominent GOP women: DeVos as education secretary, Haley as U.N. ambassador Betsy DeVos is a nightmare. Every pick Trump makes is worse than the one before it. Public education just let out a collective scream.

Dear god

What. The. f***.

Let's be honest; both platforms are holier than thou. It's a fundamental part of the Christian Right.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 12:30 PM) Popovich and Cuban? I'd take Pop for President. Let's see ISIS stop his offensive sets.

lmao at Jimmy and Caanan working on alley oops.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Nov 20, 2016 -> 09:59 PM) This race thing is so overblown and i'm starting to get really sick of everyone buying into it like sheep. People act like the Jim Crow Laws ran for president and won. Yeah, not like Sessions was denied a federal judgeship 30 years ago for being racist.

Terrible call by the ref.

D-Wade shooting and making 3s is so strange.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 19, 2016 -> 01:24 AM) Just think. If we hadn't had Robin and we actually had a RELIABLE bullpen and a guy like Salvy Perez, we might not be mourning all but one year of the Robin era. Our bullpen has SUCKED. Now we think we need a total rebuild when we truly COULD contend if Jerry spent MEGA dollars on free agents this offseason. If ONLY we had so MANY things go DIFFERENTLY we COULD have DIFFERENT results.

QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 09:44 PM) Pence went to see Hamilton tonight..it didn't go great. https://twitter.com/dkipke12/status/799802254794571777 - Standing ovation during the line "Immigrants, we get the job done" - Crowd goes nuts when King George sings "When people say they hate you" and "do you know how hard it is to lead?" and they have to pause the song. - Finally, the cast had a very civil message/plea to him at the end.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 10:40 AM) This thought is dangerous. It is what Hillary Clinton leveraged and it didn't work. If people believe that is why they got elected, then they are missing the reality of the situation. The election happened because of a combination of things, the bulk of which people wanted serious change. They wanted a change candidate and Trump was who represented the people most in want of change (and even then he got less votes than McCain and Romney). Trump also talked to more people in the rest belt area who have had things get worse over the last 8 years and who wanted a change. Now did those people ignore certain things Donald said / did, absolutely, but to lump in and just assume that everyone who cast there vote for Trump feels the way that you seem to think is just ridiculous and does not solve anything. You saw what good those type of statements did Hillary (calling half of the voting population deplorables doesn't help things). The fact of the matter is everyone lost in this election, but we really lost if the actual politicians don't recognize that the people are fed up and do want change. They want people in the government to work together to come up with things that in general the people want, that will make there lives better. Case closed that a lot of people didn't feel that happened. Bill Clinton himself has been highlighted talking about a lot of these very same things. If it were Rubio, Kasich or Jeb in Trump's spot, I'd agree. But people condoned bigotry with their votes this election, there's no real way around that.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 01:23 PM) Yes, but the same was said about Matt Davidson, Mike Olt, and Brandon Wood. A ton of power, not enough contact to ever make it matter. Just realized that this trade actually lets us try Davidson out, which wasn't an awful idea at the end of last year until he got bit by the first-day-up curse.
