QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 20, 2017 -> 11:39 AM) Kind of late on this one, but I was really disappointed by Jeremy Scahill bucking Bill Maher's show. I have long been a fan of Scahill and was really happy Maher barked back at him. If I am in Scahill's position, I would be embarrassed for myself. Scahill made his career off attacking the deep state and being a real journalist and one of the only ones left at that. He's had no problem showing up to Bill Maher's show in the past when Maher donated 1M to Pres. Obama or when Maher regularly haves neo-con guests solely because they support his anti-Islam agenda and this gay dude from Britain, who's done nothing in action, is where Scahill draws the line. Really sad. Yeah, Maher and Milo are both assholes, just on opposite ends of the spectrum (and Maher doesn't like, advocate violence). It's no shock they got along and anyone dipping because of Milo is kinda meh.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 20, 2017 -> 09:10 AM) I would take the over on wins for most of the teams mentioned. Reds will be better this year than last, so will Brewers. My sneaky pick for worst team would probably be the Marlins, they are a good candidate for star heavy team that injuries would destroy because they have no depth. Padres though, I'm just talking myself into them being better and good enough to lose 1st overall. AJ Preller doesn't deserve nice things. Sox benefit from being the only real tanking team in the AL, except maybe the A's. But they have to get rid of Q, Jones, Robertson. Eventually Melky and Frazier as well.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 20, 2017 -> 11:32 AM) Has Trump's admin extended any legislation to thwart the medias powers/rights? Serious question. I haven't been following closely. He hasn't (yet?), but by stoking these flames it's definitely creating a dangerous atmosphere. Journalists have been threatened at his rallies. I had students threatened last semester at the GOP watch party.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Feb 20, 2017 -> 08:17 AM) The scary thing is that his supporters have no problem with his lies. This is completely out of the norm, Trump constantly lies, it's like it's completely natural for him. I'm not sure if he is deliberately lying or if he is delusional enough to actually believe the lies he's spewing. The guy scares the s*** outta me, I believe he's so way out there that a military conflict is inevitable. My dad's paralegal voted Trump. I told her if I get attacked/sued over the next four years for being a part of the media that it's on her.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 20, 2017 -> 10:53 AM) I'm listening to espn 1000. Hearing A LOT of GMs are PISSED. They had no idea it would take so little to get a top 8 player in the game. The Wizards for example could've given up Otto Porter+ that would've been better than what the Pelicans gave up. Damn near any team could have beat that. Did Vivek watch a Hield college reel and become enamored?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 19, 2017 -> 10:38 PM) I guess he'll spend most of the games telling stories about the past and commenting on the minor leaguers then. I always thought he hated the idea of broadcasting horrific baseball. Nah, he's the #1 hype man Sanchez, Morel, etc., Hawk loves them all. He actually talks about this on Garfien's White Sox Talk podcast, you should check it out

Gio Gonzalez is basically the only player Kenny traded that amounted to being worth a damn. Unless we're gonna pine for Chris Carter.

Dude.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 09:29 PM) They finished 12 games out of a playoff spot so they needed help, but it's funny to think how different this could all be if Adam Dunn didn't have the worst season in the 140 year history of baseball. It's crazy when you remember he was an All-Star the next season.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 10:55 PM) I really wanna know how Hawk handles the rebuild/s***ty teams the next three years. Doing only road games, he's going to be broadcasting probably 7 losses every 10 games. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who is interested in following daily progress of minor leaguers. The guy played in the bigs for 20 seasons. He doesn't give a flip about minor league baseball is my guess. Hawk f***ing loves minor leaguers.

AP () — — Trump administration considers mobilizing as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants. The only word here is kristallnacht

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 01:42 AM) Theo took over the cubs in 2011 and that's pretty much when their rebuild started. Theo had his work cut out for him due to the horrible contracts Hendry left in his wake, namely Soriano and Dumpster who's contracts made them difficult to trade. Once those contracts were gone, which required them to eat money to be rid of them, the pace of their rebuild did pick up but it still took a good 4-5 years. Trading Sale and Eaton has already put the Sox ahead of the cubs/Astros rebuild pace. Imagine how much further along the Sox will be when Q is traded. There's potential to move even further along if the Sox are able to get some kind of value for Robertson, Frazier and possibly Jones at the deadline. Now add the June draft and July intl signings and the Sox organization will be in really good shape going into next winter. And that's not counting guys the Sox drafted prior to the rebuild. Rodon, Anderson, Collins, Hansen, Fulmer and others have them a good starting point for a rebuild and trading their valuable assets will make it even faster

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 06:55 AM) I kid you not, that took me to this 404 page. I assume the results weren't going to plan so it was deleted. He's a damn five year old.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 02:42 PM) That press conference would be like 7 different news stories/scandals in a normal presidency. Republicans would start impeachment for a Democrat.

My f***ing god

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 09:50 PM) Came here to post that nyt article, also this House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said Tuesday that those who leaked the contents of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s phone calls “belong in jail.” “That’s nine leakers that all belong in jail,” Nunes said. “Those nine people broke the law, clearly, by leaking classified information to anybody. lol

So, this project has been in the works for going on two years of grad school for me, a documentary celebrating the life and legacy of Minnie Minoso. It started as a SoxNet idea and grew from there, now we're proud to publicly unveil it as it enters the home stretch of production. http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2017/02/i...he-cuban-comet/

To get Q it would have to be something like Reyes, Kelly, Perez, Hudson. That's three of their top 4 prospects, but the headliner would be damaged goods and Perez had his issues going into the draft.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:19 AM) Q is a dude you build around, such a pro. Its a damn shame we dont have the luxury to do that when he is our only real asset left to build for the future. If we can't move him, I'm content having him head this staff. The only thing worse than wasting Q here would be settling for a lackluster return.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 10:46 PM) I feel like this is a horror movie. We got one down, but something even worse may replace him. We need to eliminate the host. Hail Hydra?
