QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 01:06 PM) Why laugh when those 2 articles suggest Chelsea might run? Why laugh when we know we're more apt to elect Democrats than Republicans to the oval office? Why laugh when we're in a day and age you don't have to have any political experience to run? Why laugh when Chelsea seems to (finally) be enjoying being in the public eye and hearing her own voice in interviews? Finally why laugh when a large segment of Americans think it's the Clinton's duty/right to serve as President?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) Not to mention we never found out how Saladino would look playing SS everyday...so wasted those at-bats. God sucks being stuck with Anderson

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) Apparently they manually pulled it. You should trust Google News for these things Well played.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 05:02 PM) LOL, one trended on FB today. After scanning the trends, don't see it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) How much of your coverage do you devote to the bachelor and 9/11 conspiracies? Entertainment outlets devote a lot to the Bachelor. 9/11 conspiracies don't really trend. It's why people keep focusing on Hillary's emails or why Trump got all that air time. People want to hear about it and speak with ratings, clicks and shares.

Media caters to what people want. In the age of advanced metrics, this the way it is. Trending is extremely indicative of what the public wants.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 12:39 PM) It's a horrible way to protest. Some talk show last night discussed this and a couple military guys called in and are furious. They've had buddies die in war. Why would you imagine it doesn't offend military people when so much of their daily routine involves the flag? There's so much respect toward the anthem and flag. My opinion is Colin is a punk for doing this. That's my personal take and as far as sports it's about the most selfish thing he could do to a team, thrust all the attention on himself. Disgraceful. Honestly, like you care. Ezio mic dropped all over this thread. This is just so your talk radio stations can get all riled up instead of doing anything real to help veterans like condemn our atrocious VA system.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) It's an indictment of the media that they feel so enabled to attack "gaffes" but don't know how to attack lies or inane ideas Also an indictment of society for that being what started trending and not any real issues.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 01:23 PM) WikiLeaks release excludes evidence of €2 billion transfer from Syria to Russia No agendas to be found. None at all.

Jesus f***ing Christ, Greg.

"Mr. Roosevelt, what do you think about what's happening in Warsaw?" The President needs to know what's going on all the time in the geo-political stage. Gary had a blunder, but let's not act like it's anything more than that. He clearly knows about the Syrian conflict. He just had a brain fart. I got a laugh out of it due to his "oh shiiiiiiit" face, but there's really nothing more to it. As for Jill Stein, she vandalized property. She's facing consequences. Also simple as that.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) She is so corrupt it is beyond belief. I mean it's not often a sure fire bet to win is as corrupt as Hillary. It is simply unbelievable she is going to be our President with her lies and her foundation and her past. Greg, read a book on US politics. It's easy to believe, even if she were as corrupt as you claim.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 06:58 PM) I wonder what kind of person Jose is. Salt of the earth? Good guy? Lazy? A dick? I know nothing about him. He's obviously having one helluva year thanks to his second-half tear (when we were out of the race). He's an all star right now. I'm not blasting him, just curious if he's one of the top five hitters in the AL or what we've got here?? Soft spoken, extremely friendly. Courteous. A bit star struck sometimes. Strong handshake. Will attempt to speak what little English he knows for the sake of an interviewer.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Their front office is superior in the scouting department unlike our front office. The Cubs model will not work for the Sox. They got it right on a couple of picks. The players they traded away are nowhere near the quality of a Sale or Q. The Russell trade is a form of luck. The only other organization that could make a boneheaded move like that is the Sox. Er, D-Backs?

Abreu dear lord.

Both the Houston Chronicle and Dallas Morning News endorsed Hillary. When was the last time those two endorsed a democrat?

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 09:48 AM) Only two more years on Sale's contract, right? And the Sox will never re-sign him at market value. Plus he called KW an M.F.'er. Sale....he GAWN! Quintana....probably not. Three.

Kyle's father passed away. Much love to you brother. Condolences as well.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 10:11 AM) The oath of enlistment I took said "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..." The words in that oath are specific. The allegiance is to the Constitution, which at least in theory guarantees peoples' rights and certain freedoms, not your ideas about what you want it to mean. I don't have to necessarily like or agree with what people do with that freedom so long as nobody else is being directly harmed by it. Nowhere in that oath did I swear to defend a flag. Or a song. The symbols mean absolutely nothing to me without belief in the ideas behind the symbols. Beware anyone who shows blind loyalty to symbols but completely ignores the meaning behind them. I didn't just stop believing this because I was discharged from active duty, so if we are going to talk about who is disrespecting me because I'm a veteran, I feel much more disrespected by you, if you fail to understand this and instead use me (to you, a faceless entity and not one of a diverse group of people) as a buffer for your own views. Stop patronizing me and pretending to be offended on my behalf. Besides, I didn't join the military so everybody can think, believe, and behave exactly how I want them to. That's fascism, and I'm not a fascist. Maybe you are, if you thought that's what it was about.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 5, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) We're talking "corrupt" though. What other candidate (besides possibly Donald) has ever been more shady/corrupt than Hillary? I listed this a while ago so I'm not going to do fall-on-deaf ears research again but Pierce and I believe Hoover are easy calls. Pretty sure Taft's staff was beyond corupt. Nixon. Buchanan. That's just winners. If we include losers, Aaron Burr takes the cake, pie and whatever they sell at the Lawrence Applebee's.

Burdi is making fools of AAA batters. As of right now, unless every first, second and third rounder picked after him becomes a Hall of Famer, I'm content with the pick.

http://mlbfarm.com/index.php?team=CWS&date=2016-09-04 Alvarez hitting .300 at AAA now, Peter with a three hit game. Colton Turner 0 ERA at AA, 3 Ks in 2 innings. Collins with two Ks and a walk, another walk in the second game. Stephens with 8 strikeouts in five innings. Call and Adolfo each with two hits. Solorzano 9 Ks in 5 innings.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 02:04 PM) Alexei Ramirez released. Nice 9-yr career. Good chunk of change. Nice guy. I'll miss him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 01:50 PM) I find it odd we Americans complain about the corrupt politicians yet we are about to elect one of the most corrupt ever in a landslide vote. What is going on here, America?? Great post. Hillary isn't even remotely close to 'most corrupt ever', christ. Edit: This is more or less due to the fact that we have had some pretty s***ty ones.

Winning!
