He looks like a good base runner and defender.

Bulls keep escaping by the hair on their chin.

That guy hits some absolute bombs. I don't know how the KBO works but are their fields smaller than the ML stadiums?

Garcia's in Lincoln Square is an excellent choice. I'm sure you could get a reservation there.

Noah should be sitting. Play Portis at this point. He was absolutely worthless.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 12:16 PM) Donald Trump Says He’d ‘Absolutely’ Require Muslims to Register Looks like the Republican front-runners are doubling down on full-blown fascism. Trump is playing the game. He'll renege if he's elected.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 10:23 AM) I see it happen so often to where people get screwed because they didn't read their benefits and the networks of where they can go. It doesn't take too long to find out a few basic things about your coverage. 1. What is the exact name of my policy and where can I go that is considered In-Network with my plan? 2. What is my deductible (because I will have to come out of pocket this amount until insurance pays)? 3. What is my Out of pocket Max? This is the most you can come out of pocket after you have met your deductible. The percentage break down of this amount is your Co-insurance. Example 80/20 meaning the insurance company will pay 80 percent and you are left with the remaining 20 percent until you reach the Out of pocket max. Your copay amounts really are the least of a concern because those are minimal. When you are utilizing your insurance out of network is when you really get screwed because your deductible winds up being thousands of dollars more and your out of pocket max is thousands more. I understand the very basics of insurance. Those you listed I would say are the basics. That being said, I don't know how times I've followed all the rules and still ended up paying out of pocket for something. I had a routine physical and had to pay $100 for blood tests because it wasn't covered. This was pre-ACA but the sheer fact I had to fork over $100 for preventative care was preposterous!

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 10:11 AM) The lines definitely get blurred, but the Republican thread is for making or responding to pro-Republican/anti-Democrat statements and the Democrat thread is for the opposite. A criticism of Trump, if not in direct response to something already posted in this thread, would belong in the Democrat thread, though the rule doesn't seem to be strictly followed and I probably unwittingly break it myself, especially since I think they both stink. I can tone down my rhetoric but seriously, it just frustrates the hell out of me. Kasich should be the nominee and really has the only shot at appealing to voters outside of their base IMO. To me it just seems like they are trying to throw presidential elections, that's all I'm really trying to say more or less.

The rhetoric is definitely convoluted on purpose. I get my annual cleanings and physical and pray I never have to use my insurance beyond that.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 08:47 AM) I was beginning to wonder if I had stumbled into the wrong thread as well. I wasn't aware you had to a republican to post in this thread...

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 08:45 AM) Kind of like Narcissus and his uneducated city folk? Your insight in this thread has been breathtaking. We get it. You do not like Republicans. Post this crap in the Dem thread.... You can pretend to be obtuse on the matter but it doesn't make anything I've said any less true. Trump himself doesn't believe the s*** he spews and you know it. He's just trying to rile up the extreme base so he can be the nominee. Do you hear any other candidates talking about giving muslims IDs or building giant walls? Nope... you know why? BECAUSE IT'S NOT f***ING PRACTICAL. I want Republicans to produce a good candidate. They have produced s*** candidates for the better part of two presidential elections now. It's not good when they are practically handing elections to democrats. You see as it hating republicans, but I see it as wondering why Republicans are dragging their feet with producing a viable candidate that can f***ing win.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 01:45 PM) So Trump is all for Gestapo tactics? Is he trolling us all? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-po...erican-muslims/ This is the kind of s*** that gives uneducated southern f***wits a giant hard on. Executed to brilliance.

QUOTE (Special K @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 05:20 PM) That's true. Guy who is available, can hit, and 29 years old. Why would we want him? It'd be unfair to the rest of the MLB if the Sox added even more to the rest of their potent offense. Stop the win now attitude. It's failed miserably for the past ten years. It's time for the Sox to rebuild.

Man f*** JS. He needs a pussified NL league to pitch in.

Yeah that was an impressive win. Defense wasn't bad but they had way too many turnovers. Phoenix should have been buried at half time.

I would have loved to meet those students head on. They should be disciplined for their behavior. Reminds me of a sect of Westboro.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 17, 2015 -> 09:45 AM) The Medicaid expansion is a big deal to primary voters, and I disagree with your assessment of the Koch brothers on social issues. I think they care a lot about social issues. Kasich saying that while he disagrees with gay marriage, accepts it as the law of the land, has really done him no favors with the conservative base. Because gays getting married really effect the country... That's cool, they can nominate their extreme candidates and then b**** for 8 years while there is a liberal president again. f***ing dopes.

Yeah they look similar to last year sans the defense. Have the Bulls blown anyone out in their wins this year?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 16, 2015 -> 10:47 AM) Republican primary voters are a lot that are sold hook line and sinker on everything the Koch brothers have been feeding them. They are after the farthest-right most Obama-hating person they can find. Kasich just doesn't appeal to those people. Very sad for me, because he's the only person in either party I can see myself voting for. Looks like a third straight election where I'll be one of the 2% voting for the Libertarian candidate. He is the only Republican that has a shot at at least appealing to moderates. Per Bovada sports line, they see it'll be a clash between Rubio and Clinton. That just makes me want to puke.

Why won't the Republicans just nominate Kasich?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 14, 2015 -> 07:23 AM) And there is a ton of racial tension between the french and the muslims who have immigrated there. This is true. They passed a law banning the hijab. I don't remember when this happened but it's a big deal for muslims. All in all this is probably a really dumb move by ISIS. If the world decides to crush them now, they can blame noone but themselves.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) This f***ing world... Sometimes, it seems like a comet would make it a better place. Religion. That is all.
