I agree with you. King will probably be in Kanny this year and he really came on after struggling with the initial adjustment to wood bats. The kid crushed the ball in college and started to crush the ball late during the short season. I still can't figure out how the heck Tim Tisch got on the list. We originally had him in our top 50, but recently dropped him out because we decided Wyatt Allen and Casey Rogowski were more deserving in our opinions.

Well he has speed going for him and he's a pretty good defensive outfielder.

Another good board is www.nflfans.com/bearstalk Thats where I post as DABEARSDABOMB

The Bulls will offer him at least the mid level exception, but I do think Denver would be a good fit for him and I"d look for his career to take off being able to play alongside a playmaker like Carmelo.

Remember when they had Brand and Artest and people got all impatient so they ended up dealing them. Pissed me off when they got Rose and basically threw Artest in. The Bulls problem is they seem to expect things to happen over night and a bunch of 20-24 year olds isn't going to be able to win in the NBA, its just not going to happen. And dealing Mason Jr. was terribly stupid. Rick Brunson is freaking useless, absolutely useless.

I dunno, emails can really blow up. Anyone notice how that one person who dealt with Martha Stewart and sent out a few emails talking about what a b**** she was. The emails were sent like two years ago and they showed up in the trial trying to bash her character. Remember, while email is great, when you send one, you have to be aware that it could be put out anywhere on the net so you almost never want to show anger or other things in emails. Its a different story if you know the person, etc.

And he made a lot of people around him very wealthy. The oracle of Omaha is definately the sharpest investor out there. You have to give him credit, he earned everything, unlike the pompous prick Donald Trump. Only thing I give Donald Trump credit for was bringing himself back after he damn near bankrupted himself. He inherited all that money and I know if I had that play money to use, I could of invested and made some fortunes as well. One day I'll get to have some play money...I just got to work my ass off and get rich
-
For me its because one day I plan on being very wealthy and no, I won't turn into a self serving, high and mighty bastard like some wealthy people. But I do think people have the right to turn themselves into millionaires if they work hard, etc, etc and I don't think the government should take their money and give it to others. In my econ class today we had a nice debate on the subject referring to the rich and the poor and the theories of how inequality may actually be good for development. Of cousre the people that supposedly save the most in the economy are the middle class because they are aspiring to be wealthy and economists theorize that saving means your investing in capital which helps an economy grow further, so having some inequality would be good. Of course like everything, this could be debated 10 fold and if there was one definate answer that we knew, the debate probably wouldn't be as sharp and we'd be focusing on other things. As far as the hard work stuff, I've witnesses and heard stories from my own family of people that grew up with absolute nothing and have turned themselves into people with something. My grandpa worked on a railroad assembly line, my other grandpa was a farmer and my dad lived in a rural farming community. People fight, they are resilent and they bust their ass and when the factories went out and they were faced with hard times, they found other ways and became successful. Of course thats a very small sample I'm personally looking at and politics definately deals in part with your own life experience.

Thats me sarcastically referring to Marriotti's response
-
Wow...he spent a long time to come up with that response.

Ya, I'd of definately had Nanita higher and Morse quite a bit lower. Another thing is, I saw Tim Tisch on there and yet no Majewski. I know Tisch put up some good numbers, but Majewski has put up good numbers in AAA and has a stellar arm. It was also interesting to see Orionny so low. I'd probably have him ahead of Fabio, who I like a whole lot, but both are top 15 prospects, imo. They definately see big things from Miller and I'm shocked Stumm is that high, considering the huge questionmark known as his arm.
-
For some reason I continue to watch. Then I turned to the democratic debates. Bulls were sucking so I figured I could at least educate myself on the democratic candidates. Hinrich is great, but this team has some definate concerns. Lakers-Kings game has been good though.
-
Either way thats pretty weird.
-
Maybe its just his ploy to try and get the Cubs out of the news. Afterall, they are about to resign Kerry Wood for like 11 mill a year for 5 years. All I know is if me and you happen to be right about Baker killing their pitchers, they could have a lot of guys tied up on the disabled list, kind of like the Dodgers have the past few years.
-
Its going to be interesting when some of the states create laws for it and others don't. Still, I do agree it is a secondary issue to the economy but I see both sides of the argument. The one thing I ask is, if the bible wasn't around, how would people act about the sanctity of marriage, would we still think of it as something reserved for a man or a women (for those that do) or wouldn't you? I know its hard to say the bible is around, but if we are basing our beliefs on the bible, then isn't that something that should be out of the constitution? Who knows, I'm still pondering this issue.
-
Interesting to see Mike Morse that high. I can say one thing, FS's top 50 is quite a bit different. Its getting pretty close to being done and right now, if I don't mind doing a little self promoting, its going to be badass
-
I like those and I'll try to get them up tomorrow, pending me remembering. Alex can tell you all how much I suck at remembering to do things related to images.

Isn't it obvious...I should be the voice of Soxtalk :lol Now quick, someone get me a high paying radio gig

Like most of the players, I say let their play prove their worth. Hopefully Politte is healthy and has the gas and is a pretty valuable setup man for the club. He has good stuff and has been sucessful, so I say their is a decent shot. Like I say, him, Tagatsu and Koch step up with Marte and Wunsch being the same old then the Sox are going to have a fantastic bullpen, but the opposite could happen.

Most schools allow you to register to vote (their are booths usually around campus or at least places). Otherwise I think their's a website you can register on, something like us.gov I would image or rockthevote.com Also, I think Libraries have that type of information.

They both did a good job getting their issues across and I still have to say man was Sharpton hillarious. The big reason I can't vote for the democratic candidates is because my core beliefs differ from their core beliefs. I think things like health care for everyone are great, but I also like to know how they plan on paying for it. And when the ways to pay for it are raising taxes, then I firmly disagree, simply because I don't believe people who pay more money should take on an even higher tax burden. I believe this country was founded on the fact that people could go out and get a job, work hard and if they were able to come up with a great idea or a great way, turn themselves into self made millionaires or billionaires. I probably should just end it at this, cause I'd have to write a few page post explaining everything, so I'll just save that for closer to the election. Plus I still want to see how everything plays out. Who Bushes new running mate is, what all goes on.

If you want to do multiple quotes, you'd have to hand do it and use the quote code when you make a new post and copy the quotes into their. In a few weeks were going to be unveiling a multiple quote feature where you check which posts you want to quote.

But I've been watching it to try and see the other candidates views. I'm also looking if by some outside chance I'd like what a person said enough to sway my vote from Bush, who I'm not exactly pleased with. On a sidenote, I think Edwards did a fairly strong job and I'll give the democratic candidates credit for trying to stay away from bashing each other and sticking to going against Bush, which is their ultimate goal (as a republican, it probably isn't a good thing). I also got to say that Al Sharpton was hillarious. He had me laughing out loud quite a few times. My mind didn't change though, if somehow a democrat becomes the next president, I'd hope it would be Edwards. I would of said Lieberman, but that isn't going to happen. I'll still stick with Bush, because none of the independent candidates go with my base. Bush gets my base, but he does some other things that are ridiculous. And for whoever decided to do this debate, don't ever ever ever have Larry King run anything. The guy is a complete boob. He ignored some of the candidates, was completely zoned out at times and kept interrupting the candidates when they were trying to debate and get their side out. None of the candidates were using personal attacks so he should of let them speak their minds and get their stance out without hearing a guy trying to interrupt them every few seconds. What a complete boob.

I'd be firing my agent after this one. Was Northcuts agent the same as TO's, if so, thats just pathetic.
