QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 12, 2016 -> 01:08 PM) trump's long-time personal butler seems insane, going so far as to call for the US military to assassinate Obama. Man I wonder what is rhetoric will be once Clinton becomes president?

Yeah two games out of 162 considering their lead won't mean anything.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 11, 2016 -> 09:54 PM) I only hope the gamethreads on Cubs sites look as bad as they do here when the team is losing. Awful day today for the Cubs, but it means nothing. They believe they are the team of destiny. I'm sure this bump doesn't meant s*** to them.

Second awful team the Cubs have lost a series to this year.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:37 PM) Yeah, I know Bernie supporters just started paying attention in the last 4 years, but when I grew up conservatives had held the presidency for 28 out of 42 years and upended the house and senate map. That doesn't happen because tv media isn't fair to someone or the clintons, it happens because the country is full of a bunch of people that don't always agree with you. Bernie supporters white wash this as it being the fault of institutions, and can't deal with the fact that a lot of people disagree with you and will fight you on it. You really don't need to berate people who don't look upon Clinton favorably. She is not as well liked as you would like to proclaim. I voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 (Romney...) because he pretty much said he was going to try to be progressive and change s***. After the GWBjr mess, you would take anyone that would be a breath of fresh air at that point. Washington proved too tall of a task to do so and him being black didn't help matters. Clinton OTOH started all of the birther and inexperience hot takes during the primaries in 08. People sometimes forget that and think Trump started it. The bottom line is you think Clinton to be capable leader and I do not for many of the reasons some posters have stated in this thread. Plus I do not like giving power to certain families repeatedly, see Bush. You should really avoid the generalizations as if supporters of a certain candidates are automatons. I certainly don't think of Clinton supporters that way.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ May 11, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) In a one run game with a guy on first and no out, Ventura should have told Carlos to bunt. The decision to hit and run on a 3-2 count was questionable. It looked like the pitch was a ball and that maybe Sanchez swung to protect the runner (Abreu) who Ventura had sent. Too bad Frazier didn't get his last two or three at bats because things might have turned out different in this game. Protect the runner on ball 4?

Sanchez will hit. He's a notoriously slow starter. Sands needs to go, and Shuck can replace him.

s*** happens guys. On to the next game. 2/3 in NY is really doable.

That 2-0 pitch was the one he needed to slam. Oh well, s*** happens.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:49 PM) What are you looking at avi Tough pitch. Froze him. s*** happens.

AJax has had how many ABs with the base juiced?

Latos walked two guys. That's his fault for sure.

And it was for naught since he didn't catch it. You gotta Alex Gordon that s*** in the stands.

That f***ing sucks!

Cole Hamels is a really good pitcher that Saladino hasn't ever seen before. Over course he is going to be overmatched.

Mat needs to nibble once he gets ahead. He stuff just isn't that good.

Hamels nibbles by design. I mean our guys are getting themselves out.

Make Hamels work. Throwing junk outside the zone.

Nah more of his excuse that the population of our country causes us to lag behind other countries when it comes to basic rights.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 11, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) America has 330 million people in it. To build a winning coalition behind a single person, you probably are going to see a lot of things that you feel compromised on. Clinton is smart, experienced, and committed to actually governing the country. You can do worse. See: phillipines. See: Brazil. Look around the world and find me all of the competent governments and which leaders you think are great. America really isn't doing a poor job. You cannot be serious with this comment.

Bernie is losing because he's not a democrat and the establishment has done well to brand him as such. He is essentially piggybacking on the democrat party the same way Trump is doing so with the Republicans. For him pretty much being a no name politician he has done rather well. In 4 years, if a similar candidate is produced maybe it will bode better for them. Between Trump and Clinton we have two s***ty ass choices but it's somewhat like this every presidential cycle. America loves to take it up the rectum and deserve everything it has coming to it by electing god awful candidates all the time.

Sox will come out and win this game. Rollins will tell everyone how to hit Hamels. 10-1 Sox!

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ May 11, 2016 -> 12:16 AM) I'm so pissed my girlfriend wont get laid when she comes in from her girls night out. I'm not mad that we lost a game I am mad that we blew two large leads for no reason. No reason we shouldn't have closed this one out. We will still be fine but like I said before we better fix our back end of the rotation issues quick. Lol man you have some serious issues then.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 11, 2016 -> 12:07 AM) Love how all the Cubs fans at my job are all talking s*** after this game. Texas is a good team. s*** happens over the course of 162 games. Win tomorrow.

Avi has always been mental, I don't think anyone thought otherwise.
