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.

I'd be asking for Urias, De Leon, Verdugo, Bellinger, Alvarez, Lux and Buehler in exchange for Sale, Frazier and Jennings. Then turning around Quintana and Jones for Benintendi, Devers, Groome and Kopech. Maybe you can work in Abreu as their new DH and get Moncada in place of Devers. At that point you're in a full rebuild - ship off Melky, Eaton, Gonzalez and Robertson. The new farm looks great in this scenario, before getting what should be decent returns for Melky and Gonzalez, an OK package for Robertson and a stellar package for Eaton. 2017 Sox youth movement sans Melky/Eaton/Gonzalez/Robertson deals LHP: Rodon, Urias, Groome, Guerrero RHP: De Leon, Kopech, Fulmer, Adams, Hansen, Burdi, Alvarez, Buehler, Stephens, Danish 1B: Bellinger, Zangari, Danny Hayes 2B: Saladino (if healthy) and Sanchez for now SS: Anderson, Lux, Curbelo 3B: Devers, Michalczewski C : Collins, Narvaez OF: Benintendi, Verdugo, Call, Fisher, Adolfo, Tilson, May, Engel But instead, I fully expect us to sign Jason Castro, re-sign Morneau and go for it.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 01:04 AM) she won't concede tonight Just did. America elected hate.

The lives and well beings of my LGBTQ friends is less important than emails.

I hate James Comey.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 08:18 PM) So if Trump does win this country will have elected a racist, fascist, sexist candidate who did nothing but lie his entire campaign and who's only stated policies are his ridiculous tax policy and his racist policies. Let's be honest - a Trump presidency could effectively destroy the country.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 08:16 PM) I'm in full panic mode honestly I'm there as well.

I hate Florida.

I hate Florida.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Yep, beat me to it. Same. I need one of Fowler/Cespedes, Wieters/Ramos and Bautista/Reddick before I'll have any confidence in this team.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 07:24 AM) the day of gregoning is here Legitimately laughed out loud here.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 03:01 PM) You guys act like I'm the only person taking this position. In real life, I detest peanut butter and sloppy joes. If somebody places them in front of me and says, choose one to eat, I just have to decline. Both would literally make me puke. Why is this any different? Both candidates are horrific, so how do you choose one? You can't, so you don't. Now clearly you're trolling. No one detests both peanut butter AND sloppy joes.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 02:20 PM) Please answer this truthfully. In a hypothetical situation, lets say a genie would assure you 100 percent that the Sox would win the WS next season and make playoffs seven of the next 10 years (only assuring the one WS crown; Sox would have to earn the rest) but the tradeoff is your beloved Hillary would LOSE to Trump and Trump would be president one term. Would you take the deal with the genie? Nothing else would be asked of you. Just this tradeoff. If Hillary being elected over Trump meant the Sox would move, I'd take it. Trump would be that disastrous.

Pretty sure the whole story has her laughing about lie detectors, because that was when she realized not to trust them. She was a public defender at the time. Caulfield's link confirms.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 12:14 PM) I mean we see that game played all the time, just not in those circumstances. The circumstances made it compelling, but the game itself was not all that incredible, with the exception of Kipnis scoring from second on a wild pitch and Rajai hitting a clutch homer against Chapman. But there really was not much drama except for the last few innings. Circumstances + the Indians rally. Lindor made one of the greatest plays ever (given circumstances) if the Indians had won. Davis' homer was absurd. It started s***ty, then when Lester came in it became a great game.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 12:10 PM) Really? I'm only 24, and specifically from Indians rally forward. The beginning of that game sucked.

As a whole, this World Series was mediocre. Game 7 however was one of the greatest games of baseball I've ever watched once Rajai Davis became Jobu.
