I dont think Pederson is a no brainer, I dont think its that smart of a move to sink in 20-30mil to him. I think it is smarter for the Sox to preserve payroll flexibility.

Joc isnt going to sign a 1 year deal that keeps the Sox flexible. Jocs deal could be for 20mil+ over the total length of Eatons. Im no Eaton fan, but getting 1 year guys to go with their young core isn't the worst idea.

Remember how much they hated us when they signed AJ? This board was furious and we all completely stopped being White Sox fans. Pepperidge Farm Remembers

I hate to say this, but I think its time for states like NY, CA and IL to go on the offensive and sue to disqualify Texas and other states who tried to create laws to make it harder to vote. I really doubt that the Supreme Court disenfranchises 4 states, but I think that if they have 2 competing lawsuits it would make it more difficult to rule for one and not the other. If there was any justice in the world, these last 4 weeks should be the end of the Republican party. Its not about policies, its about actively trying to destroy democracy for a dictator. There is no place for that in America.

Its not that easy to trade for talented players, teams dont just give them away. Lynn is cheap and good. 1 year doesnt kill his value because plenty of other teams are glad to get him for 1 year. Could the Sox have gotten someone better than Lynn for what they gave up? Probably not. The Sox have drafted a bunch of pitchers, Dunning is 26. You cant keep them all.

Jets had to be trying to lose on purpose.

$6000 to someone making 100k is more important than 7mil to someone making 100mil. At a 100mil you already have generational wealth. Once you have that, money doesnt matter as much.

Lego Holiday special is fun if you are a fan.

If its just 1 of them, nothing as it would be a 3-1 vote. If the 2 GOP dont certify then it goes to deadlock. Im not 100% sure the next steps but likely involves the Secretary of State certifying. The real problem for Trump is even if you get rid of Michigan, it doesnt give Trump more EC votes. But really what it proves is that Republicans just dont care at all about elections. Weve spent 3 weeks on a landslide election instead of helping people get through a terrible pandemic.

And this is why prosecutors shouldnt go on twitter and comment about civil cases. Cases are dismissed with prejudice all the time. The only thing that may have been of note was how quickly it was done. Usually a Plaintiff will be given a few opportunities to get their pleadings in order.

When the parody becomes the reality. It seems that they dont even realize that their *best* case scenario is that it gets remanded back to the district level.

4d chess man. They lost so bad on purpose because they want to get to the SC faster. That's how all the good lawyers do it.

Speak for yourself greg. I dont despise Republicans. I despise the hypocrite Trump cult members who are actively trying to tear this nation apart. That isnt a Republican platform.

Population density changes. You could replace CA with Texas. Texas voters are also underrepresented. Why shouldnt every voter have an equal voice in 2/3 parts of the govt? Small state voters are already overrepresented in the Senate. Shouldnt at least 1 part of govt give equal representation to every voter?

You can give unlimited money to a company as long as that company does not directly coordinate with the campaign. It is based off of the ruling of Citizens United.

By itself the Senate isnt a problem. Its that ND is voters are over represented in the house, the senate and with the President. When the system was set up, it was not meant to be this way.

After the last 2 weeks the Republican party doesnt deserve to survive. I have no problem if someone wants to start a new party that reflected the ideas of Republicans (small govt, etc) but that isnt even what they are any more. The only thing that the Republican party stands for is keeping the Republican party in power. Im not going to get into why ND would stay, but I will suggest why the current system has become more broken. The voters in small states voices count more than the voters in larger states. If you break down the House, Senate, EC per population, every one of them skews towards the smaller states. This can be fixed and returned to the original intention by 1) increasing the amount of representatives in the house and 2) increasing the amount of electoral votes. The baseline population should be the smallest state and the guarantee. Wyoming has (ill round up) 600,000 people. They have 1 house Rep. California has 39,000,000 (rounding down). Based on this equation CA should have 78 reps. CA currently has 53. That means the state of California is significantly underrepresented in the House. The EC is the same. Wyoming has 3 votes at 600,000, so 1 ec for 200k people. California should have 195 ec votes. It only has 55. That means Wyoming's voters are 3x more powerful than a CA voter.

This is exactly what is wrong with America. You dont care at all about the people of PR or DC having a voice because they may not agree with you. Instead of wanting everyone in the US to have an equal voice, you only want to recognize them if they agree with you. If PR and DC were going to vote Republican they all of a sudden become worthy of being states? The answer should be that no matter whether they are Republican, Democrat, Independent or whatever they should have an equal voice in our society. It all makes sense now, you simply dont care about anyone who doesnt agree with you. Who cares about the people in PR, they possibly wont vote like me so they dont get a say. The saddest part is that the Republican party has become so radically anti-American, their policies so horrific, that they dont even believe that they can convince people to vote for them.

Why do you think people in DC and Puerto Rico dont deserve a right to vote and representation if they want one? Why should they be second class citizens? Besides for the obvious answer that only Republicans deserve rights in America now. Maybe one day you will realize the people you support are the radicals who are trying to destroy America.

I have a strange feeling the Bulls could still trade for Wiseman.

Its always rough when you get a call and its multiple people who died in the same week from Covid. Just unbelievably frustrating that a certain percentage of Americans just dont care at all.

I like Wendell too so id rather not give up on him. I personally am fine with Toppin / Deni. I would rather not take Ball. I could be completely wrong but I think you let someone else deal with that potential mess.

My thoughts exactly. Im not sure I really am a huge fan of that trade but if they think Wiseman is a potential star then you roll the dice.

I think that was based on the Celtics trying to get Holiday. That didnt happen so I doubt that the Celtics want to move.

The Xbox may be superior. The ps4 was the first playstation I never bought. The Xbox S One was the first Xbox I ever owned. So for now it made more sense to get the Ps5. I played Astros Playground for a bit, the new controller is a pretty impressive. For most people it will likely come down to exclusives.
