I'd be pissed if I were a Tribe fan. Even though they have one of the longest droughts in baseball history it's going to be Cubs this and Cubs that throughout the entire series. Straight up Cubs overload.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 10:45 AM) The Cub fans are just looking for any reason to complain about him because he is the Cardinals broadcaster. He, and media as a whole, have been particularly favorable towards to Cubs during both of their last two playoff runs. How can Cubs fans complain about anything? They're "America's Team" and you cannot hide from them. They make the news all over the country, social media feeds are bombarded with Cubs comments, and every post season game is played during prime time. Heck, without looking, has any other playoff team in recent years had every single game in prime time? Seems like at least one or two games for even the elite franchises gets a day game in the mix.

Watched the first 2 Black Mirror episodes from the new season. Great stuff.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) Now that it's totally been decided, I'd like to ask you to reveal to me the key to Hillary emerging as runaway winner. I'll tell you what truly has hurt Donald Drumpf ... it's the length of the presidential race, almost 2 years of campaigning, etc. LOL. THAT'S what hurt Trump? Ok Greg. Stopped reading after that.

One of the crappy things about being a Chicago transplant out here is getting a ton of texts and social media posts from everyone here, congratulating me for the Cubs success. I feel like throwing my phone against the wall.

Just dropped off my ballot. Sorry Donald. You almost convinced me but fell a wee bit short.

A little bit of this... this... and this...

Was curious about Echo vs. Google Home. I don't think Home is out yet but I'm more ingrained into the google ecosystem. Looks like Home will have multi-room audio support and it's cheaper. Might ultimately lean that way.

I actually like the Dodgers' chances. The Cubs looked absolutely dreadful against Kershaw and Hill. Not sure why all of a sudden they'd figure these two out. Hopefully the Dodgers bats somewhat come to life. Imagine if they get shut down once again tomorrow. I think the pressure would be on them once again to not choke it away and I could see them pressing on Sunday and blow it.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) Mail-in ballot now and forever! (I've been banished to Cali for the last 2+ months with no end in sight so I'm really glad that's an easy option in Illinois.) Just got our ballots in the mail today. Sucks being an undecided voter. Who do I go with?!?!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) As far as the abortion discussion, my bad in even commenting once. I can't comment on abortion. Even greg won't go there. I don't want to talk about it. I'll just keep my abortion comments to myself. Great to see that you admit to knowing nothing about the topic and were merely regurgitating someone else's talking points.

The #TrumpBookReport hashtag on twitter is quite amusing.

Surprised the usual Trump faithful aren't hear bragging about how well he did in the bot-fueled, post-debate instapolls. LOL

Greg, here's an example of why someone would decide to have a late term abortion. Please read the entire article and educate yourself.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 10:38 PM) Late term abortions are very scary. Have you seen the pictures of fully formed human beings? I don't even want to discuss it really. Don't like to think about it. Do you know anything about this topic at all? Talk to some women or read some stories about why someone would feel forced to do something like this. These are awful situations where either the mother or fetus' life is in imminent danger. Women don't go around, willy nilly, doing late term abortions. They are quite rare.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) Predictions tonight? People have to expect a Cubs Win tonight with Urias on the mound and the Cubs faltering. Dodgers by at least 2 runs. They seem more at ease and Lackey doesn't scare anyone.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) The GOP has a page soliciting write-in recommendations from the public for Drumpf's cabinet appointments. I'm sure this will be taken very seriously. Nobody Online would use this for comedic purposes. https://gop.com/survey/cabinet-survey/?utm_...tm_source=e_t-t My submission...

He seriously sounds like Kim Jong Un. No sarcasm whatsoever.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 12:25 PM) DEM voter fraud alive and well. Where exactly? Show me some tangible proof.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 10:48 AM) I don't get why you don't set it up so that teams who play on Thursday do it after the bye week. I realize that gets a little difficult the first couple weeks of the season when there is no bye, but there is no reason not to do that during those bye weeks. How about no Thursday games in weeks where there are no byes? Of course they'd never do that because of the money they'd be losing, which is ultimately all that matters to them.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 10:11 AM) Bears and Packers have a combined 24 players on their injured lists. Now they have to play on three days rest. These Thursday night games are a joke. It's probably going to be an awful game too. 13-10 or something like that. Couldn't agree more regarding Thursday night games. The games typically suck and it's complete hypocrisy from the league and their player safety mantra.

I really want to like Westworld and will stick through it for the rest of the season, hoping it starts to reel me in, but I get what some of you are saying. It does feel a bit tedious at times and has a few too many lulls. That whole side story with the male and female employee tracking down the stray was so lame too. The writing and acting seemed so 2nd rate that it felt like I was watching some B movie on the SyFy network.

O'Keefe is notorious for using slimy ways to make people look bad. Was even arrested once for breaking into a politician's office trying to bug her phone or something. He often chops up videos to make things look worse than they are.
