The Cubs are in a completely different situation than we are. Also, when the Cubs spent, they needed starters bad. The White Sox are unlikely to follow that model as they actually have pitching in the minors. And Heyward was a bad signing. Spare us the Cubs comparison. We might have to wait a little bit longer than the Cubs did, but that's the way things go sometimes. Stop comparing the White Sox to the Cubs.

Another place I'm kind of torn. Google delivers serious value through ad revenue to the user. Gmail is free, Google Photos is free, and a bunch of other services are free. They do that based on ad revenue from search. So, if we were to take Google, break off search, then everything else would flounder. That's not even including Android, which is also free. Facebook, on the other hand, is a true social networking monopoly which absolutely needs to be broken up. Facebook has bought the two biggest competitors in the marketplace (whatsapp, instagram) and eliminated any competition. The evidence of abuse or monopoly is rampant so I really feel breaking facebook into three companies is a no-brainer. However, I'm also realistic. in the 1990s the government failed to break up Microsoft and will do so again now. All that will happen is concessions will be made. Nothing good enough. It makes me so mad, too. For me, Facebook is a utility I use to keep up with my family 1000 miles away and I can't simply quit it as much as I want to. Maybe if instagram wasn't a facebook property I could leave Facebook behind.

I tend to agree, but the problem is that could stifle competition because Facebook and Google can afford to pay for these breaches but smaller companies cannot.

What does the Cubs' spending have to do with ours? They are at a completely different part of their window than we are.

But it's usually Ron

On Windows it sounds like iTunes is staying. On Mac, the app is splitting into three (podcasts, music, TV). Based on what I'm reading, the store will still exist for music and video and will be accessed through their respective apps.

Okay, so we should go ahead and stop arguing about this because "staff Ace" doesn't actually mean anything objective and we would just go back and forth on what we feel about who is an ace and who isn't.

Wow. Thanks for posting this. I knew I wasn't crazy.

Apple to announce new version of iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS at WWDC tomorrow. Mostly the normal stuff, but they are also discontinuing iTunes. After 18 years, the music, video, and podcasts apps need to be split up, so I'm pleased with this.

You're overthinking it. 2017 - Jose Quintana - Even if they traded him 2018 - No one, but the pitchers were clearly all in the development phase. Any other beside the point technicalities?

His bat will be fine. The power is definitely there. I do agree I'm a bit concerned about the outfield.

Chris Sale's 2019 has been shocking to say the least.

Sure, they're reactive but there are many ways to get to the postseason. This is one way.

That's almost even more impressive because there were numerous Ace level performances in that period.

Whatever you say.

Like it or not, this team seems to always have a staff ace under Cooper. Hard not to see why he's still around.

I honestly don't give a crap how bad he's playing for any month, Jose Abreu is one of the best White Sox players I have seen in my lifetime and I can't believe someone on this board called him a "bum".

I want to believe we can but I'm concerned about signing him if he's not going to be ready until July and we have a crap month of June upcoming. I believe this team is improving quickly, but there's a good chance at the end of this month we're not all that close to being truly competitive come July. I hope I'm wrong and I would like to see Keuchel in the black and white pinstripes.

Well, this isn't a competition, so the joke's on you.

Let's just agree to Big Foot

Draft incoming, too. Very exciting stuff right now.

Probably just Gio.

It's a string of games at home. Multiple series, usually. two words, though.
