Rabbit did tweet about the Sox and Dodgers being good trade partners today

I hope he is tendered and traded. I guarantee he can be traded for something

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 03:52 PM) If you are a Muslim-American, would you feel good about any of those qualifications? He didn't say anything about Muslim-Americans

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases...lim-immigration This is from Trump's campaign website in December of 2015 calling for a complete ban on Muslims entering the country. Here's Trump on the Mexican-American judge on the bench in the case vs. Trump University. http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/03/politics/don...mp-tapper-lead/ This isn't a twisting of words. Trump said a number of things during his campaign that were anti-Muslim and anti-Mexican. I can't believe that's even a debate. Regarding the first link: you clearly forgot thr rest of the sentence in your post. And was this not right after some sort of terrorist event? "UNTIL we figure what is going on" Not forever

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) Yup. It's all just a big misunderstanding. When he cheered on folks to beat up colored people protesting at his rallies he was actually cheering on a ball game he was listening to in his earpiece. He's also the biggest feminist I know. Loves the ladies if you know what I mean. Yeah I am sure he was like "oh a colored person protesting, everyone beat him up" There could be no other rational explanation Yeah he is a douche towards women but not sure what law he will put in place to put their lives into danger

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) The Left at least has merit when it comes to what Trump said about Mexicans and Muslims. That's simply inexcusable. Though his words were twisted a bit on Muslims because he was referring to terrorists or extremists at points. Why the left is crying for the LGBT community and blaming Trump (Pence fine, Trump no) I don't understand. Trump spoke out against the whole NC bathroom debacle and brings out rainbow flags at his rallies. He has stated multiple times he doesn't care which bathrooms trans people use at his hotel. Pretty much all his words are twisted or people hear what they want to hear. He wants illegal immigrants out that pose a threat to our country. But people hear Muslim or Mexican and assume he means the whole race when it isn't the case.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) Why would they be? Shouldn't they have been worried for what Obama might have done? No matter who is President there will always be groups of people in the United States that are worried. But for some reason it a much bigger deal when those worried are minorites.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) It's simply this: It's easy for you to say it'll all be ok, when the major policies that are likely to be enacted won't affect you the way they'll affect minorities, women and gays. You saying it'll all be ok is you speaking from a place of white male privilege. The fear people have who don't look the way you do is very real, and it's very well-founded. White male privileged? I am still waiting to see what Trump has said or done to make everyone think something that major is going to happen to drastically affect those groups. The "white male privileged " weren't out protesting and lighting flags on fire when Obama became President.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 01:48 PM) Are you white? Yep. Looking forward to the next response

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 11:33 AM) I'd have my kid out of that school and back home so fast... Why is it the school's fault? There are stupid ignorant people everywhere

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 10:57 AM) Some items in Trumps 100 day plan are very unconservative like, such as the tax credit and matching for daycare funds. I'm really interested to see who actually gets cabinet positions and how his stance changes now that he is president. If it doesn't change, then we got big problems, if it does change, then I do agree there are things that the government needs to do and act on and that should happen under this admin. The key to me is that you don't just repeal to repeal, you repeal with a real plan in mind that will put us in a better spot. There is a lot on Trumps 1st 100 day list that I can actually agree with, others that I don't agree with, and others that while they sound good, probably aren't actually realistic. This! I don't have the knowledge but I would be interested to see how many of the things on other President's 100 day lists actually happened.

Most of you are from Illinois so I kind of expected this type of response but damn. Everything will be fine, country will be fine. I highly doubt anything earth shattering is going to happen in the next 4 years. Trump is going to say he is going to do whatever he wants but just because he said it doesn't mean it is going to happen. No matter what he or any other President does there will a minority of the population that it affects greatly. There is no way around that.

Can someone explain to me why the LGBT community is freaking out so much? What has Trump said he was going to do?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 10:59 PM) The longer this goes, the more I think that exact 269-269 scenario I mentioned earlier really is going to happen. Which means the house decides, and Trump wins. It's all about Wisconsin. Fox called Wisconsin like 15 min ago

The whole state of Michigan is red except the Detroit area and surrounding counties.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:39 PM) So... if Clinton wins MI, NV, CO and NH... and Trump wins WI... and the single-district NE and ME are split as expected... 269-269 What if Donald wins MI and Clinton win WI?

Holy s*** this may happen

Wilson Ramos not offered.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 07:07 PM) Sports Illustrated this week had their list of the Top 10 free agents this season: Here is the order: 1. Cespedes (Best fit according to SI: Phillies) 2. Chapman (Nationals) 3. Encarnation (Red Sox) 4. Jansen (Dodgers) 5. Turner (Dodgers) 6. Trumbo (Blue Jays) 7. Desmond (Orioles) 8. Ramos (Angels) 9. Fowler (Nationals) 10. Reddick (Astros) Mark What is SI smoking? Why would Cespedes go to Philly of all places?

So when SEMO beats Illinois on Friday how upset will you guys be?

Allowing 60+ points in a half is more frustrating

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) Teams tend to give up prized assets for the likes of Chris Sale and Jose Quintana. That didn't really answer my question.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 09:34 AM) I think we should trade for a young catcher of the future and then sign Hank Conger. Who out there would be considered young catcher of the future? I can't imagine many teams wanting to give up one of those.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) At least with US Cellular, "The Cell" became an easy nickname. What's wrong with "The Rate"

How bout we just act like this year never happened?
