QUOTE (RegionSox @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) How do you define least qualified ever? He was a state legislator and a Senator before President. We've had a few former generals that became President that never held any elected office previous to that. Lincoln was only a Representative for two years. That was the entirety of his qualifications.

You can argue that Lincoln, Grant, Taylor, and Hoover all had less experience and qualifications.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) My favorite thing so far in this crazy election is Obama calling Trump unqualified. Holy smokes Obama! While this may be true, you were a senator for like 9 minutes and spent the entire time prepping for a slam dunk election. The pot and the kettle are both black Mr. President. Let's not forget you were technically the least qualified ever, regarding service time in positions of leadership. Not trying to bash Obama and make people defensive, just pointing out the hilarity & absurdity. Obama's qualifications in 2008 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Trump's qualifications

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 04:38 PM) Ah, this is all according to form. Hillary gets the preferential treatment from the FBI and it's been all downhill since. With the media's help, the runaway train scenario is now being played out. Hillary (who gave a horrible, say nothing screamathon speech at the convention and was jeered during the speech; a speech that nonetheless got rave reviews) now is granted the "runaway winner" scenario over the rude kook Donald Trump. Trump is getting the media tag of being a rude wacko who will bring us to war right away and is getting no air time except for the "wackjob Trump" stories. Hillary meanwhile is staying fairly quiet as the media does the coronating for her. Very sad and pathetic we can't have a fair election. Hillary shouldn't spend a dime on her campaign. She's getting all the free publicity she needs. The "landslide" scenario has been painted. Stately (lol) former First Lady, the stately, accomplished Secretary of State (lol) runs away with election over the Republican nutjob/racist/warmonger. Trump should drop out. He has nothing to gain by staying in and letting this scenario continue. Nothing but positive stuff in the Hillary soundbites; nothing but horror expressed during the Trump soundbites. lmao

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) I know its unrelated and circumstances are different, but i remember a couple of years back Alexei was horrible and always making inexcusable errors as well as bat being in a coma. Later in the year we heard about (father in law? got killed) Weighed on him so much. Even Ozzie once said how Latin players take things much more emotionally that others. Next year after that.. Alexei had a great year. So.. Abreu not just seeing his son, but who knows if there were any other matters of his kids well being that we are unaware of. And the year after that, Minnie died and Alexei was abysmal. When I talked to Alexei last October he broke down into tears when talking about Minnie.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 03:13 AM) Apparently a lot of Joker/Harley Quinn was cut out of the film because it was too graphic and would've pushed the film to a R rating. If anyone is familiar with their relationship you know that it's extremely abusive and toxic, I love how the movie alluded to that without any exposition and over the top moments, it was done really subtly. The movie is much better the second time and I am super excited for the solo Harley Quinn film. I think the Suicide Squad franchise should be the DCEU's equivalent to the Mission Impossible/Fast & Furious franchises. Each film gets a new director, a new take and genre. The main cast stays (Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Flagg, and Katana) the same but each film brings a new crop of supporting characters. That being said, I think it was Ayer is coming back for the sequel, he's going to start after he wraps Bright (another Will Smith film). I would LOVE a Suicide Squad directed by Tarantino and not just because of the fan made "Tarantino's Suicide Squad" trailer.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 11:32 AM) Why should he feel bad for that post? Regardless of Jose's personal circumstances, it's ludicrous that the White Sox have cultivated an atmosphere where we as fans wonder whether the absence or presence of a child makes a difference on players paid millions to play baseball. It truly is a circus. Because comparing a man being separated from his infant son for three years due to lingering cold war politics is a lot different than a man taking his son out of school during the season so he can be with the team and partake in drills. And no one is saying let Abreu have his son in the clubhouse every day. It's his kid is gonna go back to Cuba, which can have emotional pain.

QUOTE (FT35 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 09:12 AM) Soooooo....lemme get this straight...we need LaRoche's son to be gone...but now we need Abreu's son to be here all the time!? Maybe he's the missing leader on this team now that Drake is gone!? What a circus! Do other teams go through what we go through!?!?!??!?! You should feel bad for this post. He only got to see his son for the first time in 3 years because the President ended hostilities between the US and Cuba.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Aug 4, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) OK it was decent. Immediate thoughts Margot Robbie was everything anyone wanted Harley Quinn to be. Phenomenal. Leto did a decent job with the Joker. Very creepy. More like Nicholson than Ledger I think but he's his own guy. Not really sure what I think of the Joker/Harley relationship in the movie, it's not romance, the Joker is abusive towards her but then again the movie focused more on her than him and she thinks she's in love with him (not anymore in the comics but still). Viola Davis was a bad ass Amanda Waller. She is one in the comics fast you low key can't f*** with. Will Smith was Will Smith. You've seen him act before. I agree with what has been said about the soundtrack. They were trying to be like Guardians of the Galaxy with the classic tracks but they were doing the most. The CGI on the villain in the second half was unnecessary and looked like a Xbox 360 game from 2007. Ending and the credits scene is setting up the Justice League and the next solo Batman movie. This summed up my thoughts exactly. Only thing I'd like to add is that El Diablo was well done.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) Home run #700 in a White Sox uniform? All publicity is good publicity, right? I do hope someone picks him up so he can hit #700. I hate the hypocritical love fest for Papi and Piazza, while Bonds and A Rod get pushed aside, they are all guilty of the same thing It's cause Papi is really good at smiling.

Hakeem would be putting up GOAT numbers if he played in this era.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 03:44 PM) I haven't watched MSNBC or Fox News in probably 5 years. They are both horrible and an awful place to get news from. Same. MSNBC is a smidge less terrible if anything because their graphs aren't nearly as terrible.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 03:57 AM) I just saw him on another show tonight and he was reasonable and came across again as brilliant. I think our system is awful. The media pulls "gotcha" on every candidate they want out. I have no idea why Carson was targeted as the buffoon of this election cycle. Every election cycle has somebody that gets picked on early and often. Remember Howard Dean in 2004? That was it for him when he screamed. Ben Carson is not a nut; he's an incredible surgeon and American. I challenge you to listen to his recent interviews when he's not being attacked by media. He's coming across as a bright mind. K. Here's a recent interview where he sounds like a goddamn idiot. https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/be...DWrA#.qmOo2eNY3 Here's another one where he sounds like a goddamn idiot. https://mediamatters.org/video/2016/08/05/t...gressive/212217 Here he is, once again, sounding like a goddamn idiot. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archiv...d-trump/494450/

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 01:20 AM) Not true, he was struggling against only some of these guys a few months ago. Most of the players he struggled against in college weren't good enough to be drafted. The players in rookie ball are the top 10% or so (total guess) of the players he struggled against in college plus a few HS'ers, Dominicans, etc... Who are very talented as well. His turn around has been remarkable, no need to even qualify it Oh I know that, stop arguing semantics

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 12:14 AM) Or does it mean that in rookie ball many if the 18 year olds are swinging at everything. While it good to see him do well, I don't trust big performances in rookie ball. I would wait until he has a couple of season against older competition before proclaiming his delivery improved, unless of course there has been videos or live reports of the changes. Someone feel free to prove me wrong, but Great Falls tends to be college players while the AZL is high schoolers. Hansen was struggling against the same batters a few months ago and got sent to the bullpen and is now dealing.

QUOTE (jamesdiego @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 12:38 AM) Ask for an unreasonable king's ransom for Sale. I could see teams then ponying up less, but still an amazing deal(for us) for Q. Teams might be low balling the Sox since it seemed like Kenny got the short end of the stick on some deals in the past. And teams might think they could get another over on the Sox. Don't f***ing sell low on Sale or Q. The asking price is not too high. And yes, please no god damn ex Sox player as the next manager please? I'd be happy with Martinez or Alomar. It should of been either one of them the last time! F*** Er, Alomar is an ex-Sox player.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) Nobody is going crazy. Problem with Soxtalk: Young players struggle in A ball and they automatically are bad picks. Young players do well in rookie ball and it's because it's rookie ball. Wanting to see him in AA is a bit crazy.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 03:05 PM) Yet you guys have no interest in seeing what he had to say on Hannity. The best and brightest cannot run for President anymore cause the media will not rest until all opponents of the favored Democratic candidate have been appropriately buried and tagged as nutjobs/totally unfit for office. Would you be interested in hearing Martin O'Malley on Chris Matthews?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 02:48 PM) Don't go crazy on him yet. It is rookie ball where he should dominate. The control is the major key. This is a guy who was getting rocked by college players earlier this year, to suddenly looking like the early favorite to go 1-1.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) And don't forget that Obamacare is the worst thing since slavery. Child labor? Jim Crow? Women not being able to vote? Minor inconveniences. Japanese internment, Vietnam War, ignoring AIDs because it was a "gay" disease. Hell, I'm surprised Obamacare wasn't the worst thing since the King decided the price of tea.

Don't forget this nugget... "I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed," Carson said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Thursday.
