From what they've done, I give it a 7. There are quite a few positives in the acquisitions that they have made this year so far. If Quintana could turn it around, they may get another infusion of youth for the future. Hahn hasn't given up the farm like Pace, or continued to be a muddled mess, like Forman. He's actually been pretty smart with the things that he's done.

Ironically, Thibs wouldn't play Butler, but was forced to because of injury. That's the main reason that it was discovered that he was really good.

Schwarber is a 24 year old power hitter who is just scraping the surface of his potential. He shouldn't be batting under .200 forever.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 09:03 AM) It's hard for some because we're not all willing to dumb it down like you are. The game is complicated and these trades aren't made in a vacuum. Your inability to accept reality, that the Bulls wanted to rebuild and this was the best offer they had, is indicative of your lack of understanding, not our lack of understanding. Calling other board members dumb again?

Doctors charge high prices because that's what insurance companies will pay. They also charge them because the average doctor has nearly 1 million in student loans by the time that they get their phd. Pharmaceutical companies charge high because they have to pay for numerous scientist jobs and research studies. Many European and Asian countries charge less for their drugs because they just accept the US testing results and don't pay the same overhead. Pretty much, it comes down to foreign FDAs and medical schools as the reason why everything costs so much.

QUOTE (Soha @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 08:54 AM) I think if you get Eloy, he's the headliner and you just take a lottery ticket or two with him. They aren't going to turn Schwarber in to a throw-in. But that's what i would want the most - Q for Eloy in some fashion. QUOTE (brett05 @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 08:54 AM) You get Kyle or Eloy with Dylan, never all three. I pass hard on Kyle. I'd love Eloy but I would want Jamier instead of Dylan They could always add Kahnle. Quality relievers are worth gold if you're in a playoff run.

I'm still not giving up on Schwarber. The Cubs fans are down on him right now, so this is the perfect time to trade for him. Schwarber, Eloy Jimenez, and Dylan Cease.

I just don't see how anyone that has medical insurance can support this new healthcare. It's just so bad. If you have ever had to pay thousands of dollars out of your own pocket for doctor visits and emergency services that other countries don't pay as much to get, then you'll understand. Once you have children and start developing medical conditions, you'll also understand. The cost of getting sick is ridiculously high. People don't choose to get sick or injured. Why should they be punished?

There's a whole joke tangent thread on that on reddit movies.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 01:28 PM) Could you elaborate or provide your source? What's to elaborate? It was an idea to balance things for people. The cost of premiums and out of pocket expenses hurt the lower income sick and poorer families with medical needs. The average person who makes $30,000 a year can pay almost 1/3 of that in insurance costs if they have a major illness in the family. You make $600.00 gross a week, you pay $90.00 for your health insurance premium every week. You make $250,000 gross a week, you pay $37,500 a week.

Now, give a flat 15% premium cost depending on your gross income and a more reasonable - per person deductible to balance this bulls***.

Cut Medicaid and cut taxes on the wealthy. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/sen...2l6O?li=BBnb7Kz I'm not sure how that fixes anything healthcare-wise.

I'd get a nice home and hire people to cook, garden, clean, etc. Help my church and my parents' church do the building projects that they've been trying to do for years. Find a business where I can go there as an owner, but not really have to do anything but oversee things. Plan trips places and give the best things that I can to my family and friends.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 12:26 PM) My buddy's wedding a few years ago, he had 4 groomsmen and his wife had 8 bridesmaids. It was weird seeing 4 girls walk down the aisle alone. Why not have each groomsman with a bridesmaid on each arm?

People can't pick three if you don't make the poll with a multiple choice option.

I'm more centrist than independent. I just can't vote independent though, because a 3rd party vote is a wasted vote.

QUOTE (palehose1 @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 03:26 PM) Anybody here know if they are planning to unveil a Buehrle statue at the June 24th jersey retirement ceremony? It seems they usually separate the number retirement from the statue dedication but it would be great if they surprised us with the unveiling of a statue too. I have been watching Sox baseball for 45 years and MB is my all time White Sox favorite, really looking forward to the game in 2 weeks! There's no news about a statue as of now.
