NLDS: Giants vs. Evil Empire
QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 11:50 PM) Giants have no chance. It will be a sweep as a matter of fact. San Fran does not have the team. Anemic lineup. Cubs have bruisers. Cubs roll. Sweep. QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 12:21 AM) I can't imagine this is possible with that game 3 matchup of Little Game Jake Arrieta and October Massacre Madison Bumgarner facing off. Bumgarner is an ungodly force in October. No way the Cubs sweep. QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 12:02 AM) Want to make a wager? QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 12:47 AM) Please Greg. PLEASE BET YOUR HOUSE. Wait...is this why the economy is so bad?!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 10:46 PM) Cause everybody is hurting. I don't know many people who are not living paycheck to paycheck. There is a crisis in the economy. There are the poor. There is the middle class, which is really hurting. And there are the one percenters. The economy blows, folks. I don't know anybody with any money. Health care is exactly like Bill Clinton said. Expensive as hell and reduced benefits. Amen. The economy blows. Nobody I know has any money. I simply disagree. Pick any part of America. How bout race relations? We're close to having a civil war over this Black Lives Matters situation. Close to having a war against our police, who are killing people at an alarming rate. Overseas relations? Obama is despised by Russia, China, even the Philippeans. Economy? Please. 1) LOL we're not close to civil war 2) Oh no, two communist regimes and someone who compares himself favorably to Hitler don't like Obama! 3) Well, Northsider just spelled out how it's not a joke, but you don't bother reading facts.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 12:14 PM) Replace Clinton with Trump and Progressive with Conservative and you have one of the main reasons I am voting for Donald. We need a constitutional court. You can't get that with someone of Hillary's ilk. Explain.

The Anthem
QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) Well, I'm OK with organized rallies to protest. Get the permit, tell the police you are doing it kinda protest. Why go after the national anthem when the military is so solemn about the anthem? "Remember everyone, get your permission to protest."

Renteria to Replace Ventura
QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 12:11 AM) There's no way in hell the Sox are trading Sale or Q. The Sox have always valued starting pitching and trading those two would assure the Sox a 45 to 50-win season. We'd lose literally every series we play in. Reinsdorf is not getting any younger. A lot of his friends have already moved on to the next life. He knows he's aging and doesn't want 50 win seasons, folks. He wants rings!!! I wish they'd just release Shields, by the way, before they are tempted to give him a shot in spring training, etc. The Sox are going to do what they always do, try to piece together a contender. They have to avoid signing worthless players while keeping their good ones. Why in the hell do they insist on signing mediocrity like Melky, Lawrie, Rollins and horrific catchers?. If you are gonna sign guys, make sure they are good players. Uh, can't scouts scout anymore??? Shields? Give me a break. Everybody should be fired over that move. Ditto Rollins. He was done. That would be the point. I'm of the opinion that if you trade Sale, blow it all up.

For all of Robin's poor managerial decisions during his time with the Sox... This one is worse than all of them.

Renteria to Replace Ventura
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) The Yankees being involved in a Sale deal will be the best thing that could ever happen to the Sox if a Sale deal is going to happen. Either we will clean off their top prospect list, or we get Boston to push in a couple of guys they don't want to in order to top the Yankees. It is a win-win. And the loser might get interested in Quintana (though you'd hope the Dodgers would as well)

QUOTE (SpankyEaton @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 10:10 PM) I would go so far to say that I would rather see a Cubs World Series than President Trump. The two party system isn't a good thing and neither is the gridlock in Washington. I am actually voting republican in Illinois so there are people who can stand up to Michael Madigan. I am not big on Hillary but my conscience won't allow me to vote for Trump as well as my head. I'd rather see a Cubs dynasty than Trump & Pence in the White House.

Also, term journalist now must be removed from Assange's resume. No journalist would ever flub a deadline this hard for world breaking news.

2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 12:30 AM) If this is the bombshell it won't hurt Hillary at all. a.) nobody will believe it. b.) nobody likes Assange and will figure he made it up. Hillary in a landslide. Coming from a fringe-conspiracy site, I'm gonna guess nah. https://mediamatters.org/shows-and-publications/true-pundit Let's just apply Occam's Razor. If Assange were assassinated, it in no way benefits Hillary, the DNC or American government. He's the figurehead of an organization, trapped in an Ecuadorian Embassy located in the capital city of one of our longest standing allies and slowly losing his mind. It wouldn't be difficult to discern that the US ordered the hit, would risk causing a war / international incident with Ecuador, straining UK relations while the UK is currently in their own version of Trumpmania. It would also make Assange a martyr and cause everyone to believe more in his leaks - which his organization could keep disseminating without him - thus causing more damage to the US government than if they leave him alone and let him be a Putin Puppet.

The Anthem
QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 12:31 AM) It's not the right way to protest. So the message is pretty much going to be a majority of NBA players hate the USA. Beautiful. Except it's not. But please, go on.

Renteria to Replace Ventura
QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 3, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) Take it for what it's worth, but Matt Abadacola on the Score says he has sources inside that say the preference is to move Sale over Quintana. If a team were to overpay obviously. Again, take it for what it's worth. Crazier, under control for less years, not worlds better and would get more in a trade. It'd make sense. I still say if you sell either everyone other than Rodon and Anderson is on the table from the MLB roster.

2016 Republican Thread
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 3, 2016 -> 01:40 PM) Wait, this isn't in response to my request, is it? He clearly stated she is running based on the Clinton Prez record - which she is. He did NOT say that is all she is running on. You have turned someone's statement into something more extreme than it was. Why don't you just acknowledge that it was you who added the "ALL" part, yo made a mistake, and move on? Yeah, Reddy while I tend to have the same outlook as you, this is kinda what it is.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 3, 2016 -> 09:20 AM) Pulling for the Giants as I believe they have the best chance of knocking off the Cubs since most of the Mets starters are on the DL. This is my hope.
