QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) I mean... the new President has zero political experience, and succeeded in business because he was given the keys to the kingdom. And his chief policy adviser is most known for starting an alt-right website. What could possibly go wrong in foreign relations? Oh and, he spent time in nearly every speech making out Jina as evil, and encouraged Japan to build nukes. Yeah, these Sino-US relations are gonna go great. Oy.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) Wonder if the nats go hard and try to get Sale and Eaton, Turner, Giolito, Robles +++ Gotta trade them separately unless MLB players are coming back.

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) Nationals:Eaton and N. Jones Sox: Giolito, Robles, Fedde, Stevenson Would you take that deal? Yup. Immediately.

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) You think they say no? If I'm the Sox I go to the Nats with Eaton and say "we'll give you 3 more years of Eaton for whatever you're offering for McCutchen". It should be roughly a package like you mentioned. QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 03:12 PM) No way Nationals offer that deal. This is why I asked

Who says no? Nats get: Eaton and Jennings Sox get: Giolito, Robles, Fedde, Reetz Edit: I'm saying the Nats say no

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 30, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) How does it screw Sox? They'll be judged as a large market team in a market dominated by another franchise.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 29, 2016 -> 01:44 PM) My parents went to college with him, the same college I went to for my freshman year. Him being a White Sox fan was always the icing on the cake for being a fan of his. KCC?

Matt Millen = presided over the worst stretch in NFL history Kenny Williams = World Series ring Some s*** ain't adding up here

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 11:19 PM) Don't forget Michael Clarke Duncan. (RIP big guy). Meh. I wouldn't be for or against Obama buying into the Sox. Obama is not the worst thing that could happen to the Sox. Duncan is the reason why the 2005 World Seties DVD can't be topped.

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.

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.
