Big Hurtin

It makes sense that he wants to win, since the definition of want is to lack.

If I have to pick one, I'll go with The Wire, but they have had so many great series through the years. It annoys me that I didn't have HBO when Larry Sanders aired originally, and it isn't on HBO GO.

I still don't understand what makes sporting events the place to sing the national anthem. You don't see this at other events.

Gauranteed Irate Field would also work.

One letter off from guaranteed rate Field, convenient.

This just strengthens my opinion that Hahn is just the money man, i.e. working out the particulars in contracts. The big ideas are above his head.

He's not running on policy, he's running on rhetoric. If he fools enough people, we'll get what we deserve.

The @Cubs fire the DJ for playing "smack my b**** up", but the guy who actually did the smacking of the b**** is all good. Gotcha. You think the White Sox or any other MLB organization would act differently? It's called low hanging fruit. I was surprised it was their own guy (or woman) that played it, though.

If they won't approve a Cuban, what chance does a Kenyan have? If true...

I don't know if it's politically motivated or not, but some nut is currently climbing up the Trump Tower.

Curt Schilling wants to run for president (in 8 years). What a delusional clown. http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la...-htmlstory.html

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 04:38 PM) Ah, this is all according to form. Hillary gets the preferential treatment from the FBI and it's been all downhill since. With the media's help, the runaway train scenario is now being played out. Hillary (who gave a horrible, say nothing screamathon speech at the convention and was jeered during the speech; a speech that nonetheless got rave reviews) now is granted the "runaway winner" scenario over the rude kook Donald Trump. Trump is getting the media tag of being a rude wacko who will bring us to war right away and is getting no air time except for the "wackjob Trump" stories. Hillary meanwhile is staying fairly quiet as the media does the coronating for her. Very sad and pathetic we can't have a fair election. Hillary shouldn't spend a dime on her campaign. She's getting all the free publicity she needs. The "landslide" scenario has been painted. Stately (lol) former First Lady, the stately, accomplished Secretary of State (lol) runs away with election over the Republican nutjob/racist/warmonger. Trump should drop out. He has nothing to gain by staying in and letting this scenario continue. Nothing but positive stuff in the Hillary soundbites; nothing but horror expressed during the Trump soundbites. Your computer...

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 4, 2016 -> 05:28 PM) I think WSD said it would have to a Betts package. Then on trade deadline day, I thought Phil Rogers said they were unwilling to include Moncada and Benintendi in a deal. So I could see that article being somewhat correct. Moncada, Betts, and Boegarts were untouchables from Red Sox. Benintendi, I'm not sure about, but wouldn't have been enough for Sale.

JR and Co. care about winning, in the ledger. As long as there's a percentage of the fanbase who believes that: A. Over-the-hill hasbeens will perform like the back of their cards. B. Long term deals will forever doom the franchise, and that financial flexibility is in their (the fans) best interest. C. They've done things in the same manner for years, but this time will be different. The White Sox will continue to be a mediocre at best on-field product.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) From reading around it seems like a great majority of Red Sox fans don't want a deal for Sale to get done. Wait until they don't make / get bounced from the playoffs. They'll be complaining then that it didn't get done.

While I agree that they shouldn't take less, it will still be a bummer if nothing happens.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) Hahn asking for the moon, as he should be. But I'm sure a bunch of you will find a way to fault him anyway. The problem when no deal is done, will be the rumors of team X offering A B C, without knowing whether it's actually true.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 01:08 AM) 76% and 5,678 electoral votes, which is enough to allow her to replace every SC justice if she wants, and she also gets to pass 1 major piece of legislation without Congressional approval. It's in Article 12. I thought it was Title IX.

They haven't lost since they sent Chris Sale home, just sayin'. #stirringthepot

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 06:51 PM) There's a couple of ways it could split and end up 269/269, in which case it'd go to the House and we'd end up with President Trump. I was thinking about third / fourth parties throwing a wrench into the mix. I guess it wouldn't matter if someone doesn't get 270, the result will be the same.
