The Beast

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 30, 2017 -> 12:42 PM) I have finally stopped listening to Goff and Bernstein. Its not that I disagree with any of their political stances that they take on the show. I support most if not all that they are typically trying to bring to the forefront. Its just that their show is no fun, like whatsoever. The issues that they try to address on a daily basis I actually support them on and I am not even suggesting they stop fighting the good fight on air. If they feel personally that they need to use their job as a platform to shed light to any social injustices then the more power to them. I just find no entertainment value to their show at all. I was actually going to post something similar. Nobody can disagree with them and win an argument because they shut down callers almost immediately. One thing I have noticed with 670 is that their interviews are almost all the same people and the hosts talk about some garbage. Parkins is an arrogant twat and also shuts down people who disagree with him. I called in and asked a legit question for Can’t Do It and was told my question didn’t count. If anyone listens to that segment, all of the “good” questions have been asked and answered. I flip over to AM 1000 for afternoons because the guys on at 1:45 are at least funny. Bernstein is just a dick, I met him in person and he treated me the same way he treats callers. I guess when you go to Duke and have one of the most coveted jobs in Chicago’s sports media you can be a jerk. It’s such a cutthroat industry that I’m glad I didn’t go into it.

Too bad there’s not a battle to vote out Madigan.

Too bad Sox N Roll isn’t available. Are any of these podcasts downloadable? Since 670 the Score has a massive hard on for the Cubs and anything but the Sox I would love to hear some Sox chatter. Maybe some individual podcasts about the minor league players.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 07:43 AM) Guerrero is the only one that bothers me that is not protected. I would of DFA'd May for him. No one is gonna take Polo and Peter is a utility player. I wonder what Hahn’s rationale is behind Guerrero being left off and keeping a guy like Covey on the 40 man roster. Is there something I am missing? Other than it is the rule 5 draft and they have to keep a player on their major league roster for a season.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 05:06 PM) Why the f*** are they hanging onto Covey? It's puzzling to me why they have invested so much into this guy. Seconded. Why is Covey here? He was like an automatic loss almost every start this year.

Am I missing something about Guerrero, is he really that good, good enough to stay on the majors all season? Would Peters get picked, or did they not add him because of the logjam of infielders they currently have?

Let’s be fair to coverage from both sides. https://www.google.com/amp/www.foxnews.com/...losers.amp.html http://money.cnn.com/2017/11/17/news/econo...bill/index.html I’ll ask once again, how does this benefit all Americans?

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 11:05 PM) I'm not watching. Was this Hendricks fault or the bullpen? Hendricks wasn't sharp but Edwards help bust it open by walking Darvish.

Read this on CNN this morning and was saddened to know it was someone I remember playing for my favorite team. Rest in peace Daniel Webb.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 04:55 PM) Ex White Sox continue to produce for the Yankees this postseason. Robertson, Kahnle, and Frazier all look great. Hopefully the Sox got fair value in that trade. Since no cash was involved, Frazier's deal was up at the end of the year and the goal was to tank, I think it was. But it depends on the return's performance.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 12:09 AM) Dodgers are going to pummel the Cubs. They have no chance. This is not the same Dodger team as last year. They have a legit 3 headed monster, and a bullpen to back it up. Oh and they can score f***ing runs! What a concept. Let's hope you're right. I think the Cubs will repeat, unfortunately. Luck is with them again.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 8, 2017 -> 01:39 AM) Well this is absolutely horse s***. Agreed, it is like saying female reporters are all about social issues. Also, what do most guys think?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 08:13 AM) To put it simply, was Goff wrong in that segment? And was Chuck given a fair shake to talk? Just curious because people seem to think the show is too liberal.

Did anyone hear Chuck from St. Charles on the Bernstein and Goff show the other day? The dude was extremely prejudice and borderline racist and Goff went off on him. Goff has been off the air since but I confirmed with him on Twitter that he hasn't been suspended. Take a listen. Of course, this lit off a bunch of firecrackers with people on Facebook and on the text line, people who are probably too afraid to call in with uneducated and ignorant viewpoints.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 07:59 AM) I love when they interview Steve Stone and occasional Sox players. The Steve Stone ones are especially good listens. They had Davidson on the other day and he was also a good listen.

I am going tomorrow to see Moncada play and outside of my birthday and bachelor party, it will be the only games I attend this year. I see two tickets to tomorrow's game in section 103 (row 4) for $35 each and two in section 107 (row 9) for $32 each on StubHub. If anyone has better seats than that for $40 or so, please let me know. I always buy discounted tickets as there's no reason to pay full price. StubHub and coupon codes off the White Sox website instantly make going to games more affordable. I'll be going to more next year when some more prospects will be up. I have a feeling when the kids are up in 2019 the season ticket holders will be back and the fans will follow suit.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:40 PM) I prefer B&G to W&S, but I do occasionally get tired of the Cubbie laying it on thick attitude. Does Dave Wischnowsky‏ ever say anything intelligent? I get sick of the flagship Cubbies promotions that they have to do. Sometimes the interviews aren't good, so I switch to ESPN radio 1000 to see what Jurko and the guys talk about. Bernstein can get old after awhile even though he's insightful.

Are you guys really that surprised by any of this?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 07:21 PM) De Falco confirmed this and someone- literally no clue who he is- says Q gets dealt tomorrow Who the f*** do the ESPN radio guys know to confirm anything? All they do is talk about the Cubs, just like 670. (Off topic but there's no place to listen to anything about the White Sox in this town.)

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Jul 9, 2017 -> 11:45 AM) Watched him live last night. Given the prospects already here, drafts, and others for players that can go, I think the "start to be good" window opens at 2019 and "compete for titles" at 2020. I think Q can contribute in those years more than can whoever the White Sox can get for him. You/we/I all know the arguments both ways and that it's been discussed here a lot already. I just had to put my $.02 in here. He was impressive. Working the curve in Coors? Crazy. I thought about them keeping him too, but they are rebuilding. He's an absolute bargain, but they need to rebuild and get more position players back for him. It's time to go into full blown rebuild and bring up the young guys. He could become a liability if we keep holding on to him and he doesn't perform or gets hurt.

My condolences - maybe you could write Brooks Boyer and they could track one down for you.

At least they picked a lane - the s***ter.

A question that I am struggling with is, what message about the future would sit well with moderate republicans or with blue collar workers? Do the blue collar workers really believe that the jobs of the past are coming back or that Mr. Trump will put them back to work? Or could they be persuaded that retraining for jobs in their area that won't be automated? Does a message about tech jobs and future careers excite them, or do jobs of the past excite them, regardless of if they come back or not?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 12:55 AM) So basically tech incubator/s, maker's space....whatever you prefer to term it? Yes - using empty retail outlets in Downers Grove to be tech incubators, shared workspaces or even just offices for new startups and small businesses.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 06:09 PM) So the anti-Amazon/Wal-Mart? How to drive demand/traffic? What niche are you going after...or you're trying to create a new market for certain products? What can you offer, other than subsidized/lower rents? I haven't thought it all the way through, but basically if brick and mortar stores are closing and people aren't flocking to create retail businesses, why not provide incentives to have startups and entrepreneurs take those empty retail locations? It's just a thought, even though Illinois is in the financial state it is in. In other words, make Downers Grove a place for startups like San Francisco and Chicago.
