Yeah, I dunno if we can chalk that up to mental illness.

"We have much hacking going on." The eloquence of Obama to the stupidity of this man.

Trump leads off the press conference with saying that he respects the press. lol

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 08:51 AM) Look at this from the opposite perspective (and ignore the fact that what I'm going to say also is stateable about the presidential election, that's unavoidable because of what the FBI did). Hypothetically say that this material is fabricated, or at least the Buzzfeed content. Hypothetically say that even some of the material that CNN reported on, the 2 page summary given to the President Elect, is incorrect and false. That material was leaked to CNN within a week and they were able to basically confirm it is the material given to the President Elect. In that case, do you not have an intelligence organization that is intervening in politics to discredit the President Elect for reasons unknown and using material that the general public can't verify or see in order to do so (yeah, that part)? Yes it makes sense given that the only thing in the universe he hasn't insulted is anything Russian, but do you put it past America's intelligence agencies to smear a politician for their own reasons (quite obviously no)? You kinda covered any response I could have

Never did I imagine we'd have a President that is so un-American.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 08:26 AM) I know the bolded is a typo, but I feel like "forge tit" should be a thing that means something. I think we need to work together to define this new phrase. It has potential. I like it. I'll let you figure out where to start. In more unsettling news, Donnie is asking if we're in Nazi Germany with how he's being treated.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 10:07 PM) No. I will take Mike Pence. F*** this. One of my Republican friends a while ago commented on this and said something about this being a sickness on democracy. I replied that when a patient is having a heart attack, you have to end the heart attack first and keep the patient alive. You deal with the clogging arteries once the patient is alive. Mike Pence is not, as far as I know, beholden to a foreign power. Fix the heart attack. Also, the nuclear codes.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 06:50 PM) Well, there is a sex tape out there Jill Stein being courted by the Russians is an interesting tidbit in that document.

Don't see much point. Moncada, Saladino and Lawrie would all be ahead of him and as Matt once broke down for Future Sox, he really wouldn't fit in the outfield. http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2015/...o-the-outfield/

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 06:28 PM) #FakeNews Yeah. As much as I hate BuzzFeed, their news department isn't terrible. Now we just wait to see if it ends up being verified in any way, shape or form.

I mean, god damn, we had less damning info on Nixon and Clinton.

That is...astounding.

If we cared about mental health in this country, we really didn't bother showing it at the polls.

I don't know who is better at lying through their teeth between McConnell or Chaffetz.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 05:17 PM) I feel like this is a thing that won't be going away. Don't worry, we'll forge tit next week when something even more absurd happens.

QUOTE (heirdog @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 05:09 PM) 3 team trade: White Sox trade Quintana to pirates and Robertson to Nats Pirates trade Keller, Newman, Hayes and Diaz to white Sox and glasnow to Nats Nats trade Robles to white Sox Not a bad three-way deal, but I don't think Pirates part with all five for just Q. A sweetener would need to be thrown in. But that deal would be an absolute monstrous haul. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 04:59 PM) Not to mention there is an element of backbone to these type of deals. If other GMs know they can just wait you out, they won't ever give you their best deal because they know you will knuckle under. Sometimes you have to walk away to show that you will wait out the best offer. Similarly, Rick Hahn has established that if you don't meet his price, don't bother talking to him. The GMs go into these negotiations knowing they have to go up.

I'll give Sessions this, he sure knows how to give good answers that conflict directly with Trump statements.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 02:48 PM) Not a chance. If she isn't married to Bill Clinton, she couldn't win an election for dog catcher. Which speaks volumes about sexism in our country.

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/201...214612?cmpid=sf Monica Crowley plagiarized a good portion of her PhD dissertation.

I think the President-Elect is more out of line with his actions and responses to literally every piece of criticism.

Just because it's the Knicks, I like to imagine he called them repeatedly but they just didn't pickup by mistake.

Frank Isola ✔ @FisolaNYDN There are strong indications that Derrick Rose returned to his hometown of Chicago. Combined with Jo looking really weird when saying he spoke to Derrick...huh?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 09:34 PM) This is becoming very interesting. Luhnow has shown to be aggressive and being willing to make big trades and sign free agents to contend in '17, and then there's Huntington who literally has no history of making a big trade like this and his additions this year were Nova and Hudson. Yet Huntington is going to pull Meadows and Bell off the table and expect Luhnow not to trump the offer? Meadows and Bell being off the table plays into Luhnow's hands. Huntington is going to f*** this up which is what some Pirate fans have been fearing. Question about Newman. The kid has mad contact skills but with skills like that I would have expected a higher BA than .288 at AA and more extra base hits too. Is Newman making alot of ground ball outs? I'm going to google it but the thought just popped up so I thought I would throw it out there while I was typing this post. Newman has basically no power.

The plot thickens.

Jack Curry ‏@JackCurryYES 58m58 minutes ago In Quintana talks, no doubt White Sox began by asking for Gleyber Torres and Clint Frazier. Again, Cashman said sticker price was too high. Atta boy, Rick.
