QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:34 AM) Yeah, that is why I qualified it as was still LeBron...it's difficult for me sometimes to give credit to him as a lot of his production comes from him being just so physically freakish. He gets by a lot on brute strength and size. The officials allow him to just charge into the lane and clear out with his off hand to get to the basket. Don't get me wrong - dude is a crazy gifted athlete and a great basketball mind, but in terms of his effort last night, he wasn't getting back on defense, he was letting smaller guys get rebounds he should have had, he was yelling at others like Kevin Love for not getting back in transition, he refused to go hard to the basket when he was fed the ball in the post in the second half when they needed him, etc. And as Boogua said, finally when the game was out of reach, with about 3 minutes remaining, THEN he decides to take the ball to the basket. THEN he decides to take over for his team. It was a bit of a curious effort from him. 33.6, 12.0, 10.0 But you're right, he waited until there were three minutes in game 5 to take over for his team. Solid post.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:04 AM) Unanimous decision from the Warriors to skip the White House visit Well that's not surprising.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:01 AM) I am too lazy to look through the thread, but where are the President Trump cheerleaders at with what's going on at the moment? In the Facebook comments sections of every single news article that is shared talking about winning.

The system is broken. We had better healthcare. Now we're going back to square one. Hopefully this leads us to a universal standard. You shouldn't f*** with people's healthcare.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 08:45 AM) Hopefully you're just being sarcastic and politely declined. That is odd though. I don't even get invited to weddings for people I haven't seen in less years. I was invited to a wedding, and attended, of a co-worker who I worked with for few months at the time./ Yeah, I was polite and wished him the best of luck.

To put things in further perspective, the last time I saw this guy, Michael Jordan was playing for the Wizards.

I ripped his heart out and stomped on it. Hope he doesn't hunt me down and murder me. How's this for perspective? The last time I saw this guy was 2003 or 2004. I got married in 2006 and he wasn't invited to my wedding. Never even considered it.

LeBron just became the first player to average a triple double in the NBA Finals.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:45 AM) That's awkward, has he not made any other friends in the past 13 years? I honestly have no clue. That would be because we aren't friends.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) I knocked my phone interview out of the park, working on scheduling an in-person interview now. Still getting my head around a potential move out of Chicago though, there would be a lot of work just to figure that all out. I would love Milwaukee but owning a place here makes it complicated. Now's the time to be selling. It shouldn't be hard - but get that b**** market ready because the window closes. We listed our house in 2015 right around this time and it sold in August. We were overpriced but got really lucky.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) We always seem to be hiring for those. Does your friend want to move to the Seattle area? Thanks for the note. He got a new position in the area already!

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:33 AM) Days Gone looks sick af. Man I love Sony and their exclusives. Agreed. The fact that both that and Spider-Man are Sony exclusives... I'm still shocked anyone buys an XBOX for a yearly Halo update.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 06:47 AM) Spider-Man gameplay looks awesome http://screenrant.com/spider-man-ps4-gameplay-trailer-e3/ Indeed. It looks like the Arkham series on steroids.

There was no drama all season long. Expected outcome was expected. Expected outcome will be the same next year if KD opts in.

A guy I worked with at Blockbuster when I was 18 and went to freshman year of college with before he got kicked out is going to ask me to be in his wedding today. I know it because he hinted at it on Facebook about a month ago and I thought to myself "what in the f***". I have not spoken with him since 2004. We weren't ever particularly close, though I think he thought the friendship was rock solid. Regardless, we haven't even SPOKEN in thirteen years. Obviously I'm going to say no, but MAN is it going to be awkward. And he refuses to say what he wants via text or Facebook Messenger and wants to talk on my lunchbreak today. Ugh.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 10:02 PM) I think I see about 5 people who aren't white in that photo.

QUOTE (Yoda @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 02:22 PM) Update: Our son is now 5 months, 2 weeks old. His eye vision is not developing as his eye specialist expects it to. Tomorrow we are driving 2+ hours to Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health so the MRI department can put our baby under anesthesia and do an MRI scan on his eyes and brain. I am a bit nervous but also optimistic. The past couple of weeks we have seen how our baby is able to track some objects that don’t make noise since his eye specialist thinks he’s only been tracking because of the sounds we make. Everyone, I am asking for prayers/good thoughts this way. I hope his eye specialist is wrong about this and that the MRI results show good results and perhaps he just needs glasses. This world, despite what we hear and see on the news and social media, is too beautiful for him not to see it with his own eyes. Thinking of you and your family.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) Has ANY president in our lifetime lied as much as he did on the campaign trail? Does any of it matter?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 08:55 AM) The guy is a talentless hack. They could replace him with a 1000 better comedians who would do a better job....without the bigotry, sexism, and occasional racist remark.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 2, 2017 -> 09:16 AM) When your entire political philosophy is based on what will annoy liberals this is what happens. Someone's up to date on Pod Save America. :-)

just f*** it all to hell

Is there anyone out there who's company could use an IT Project Manager? A good friend of mine is looking for a new position. He's fantastic at it.

QUOTE (ChiSox1917 @ May 23, 2017 -> 06:42 AM) Abreus not going anywhere anytime soon with Moncada and Robert now in the org Why? They're under contract. That doesn't make sense. Is Alexei Ramirez still on the roster? He can't go anywhere now that Jose Abreu is... oh wait.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 23, 2017 -> 07:58 AM) Former CIA Director Woolsey calls out Obama for being soft on terrorism, implicitly blames him for Manchester attack https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-trump-adv...-084216041.html But this happened after the MOAB was dropped! I thought that taught and defeated ISIS...

The Sox should be looking to cash in on Avi. Find someone who needs a bat this summer and turn him into 3 assets. They should also be cashing in on Jose Abreu given he's so much older than the new core.
