Thought so, thats why im moving there......job market is booming. No state income tax, and the property is dirt cheap (and will skyrocket in future years). I definitely will consider buying a home there when the time comes for me to get one. None here in texas too. I was making lots of money here. My parents are moving to Vegas too.........and theyre on like a 1 year waiting list for a house, but thats because everyone from LA is moving there in the same price range. From what ive heard, people are selling million dollar homes in LA and buying similar houses for 250,000 in Vegas.... Thats about right. The majority of the people in the LA and Orange County area are selling smaller homes, that go for 300,000 to 500,000 and being able to move to the Inland empire in a home that would be worth a million in orange county for 300,000 or so. The Inland Empire is the 2nd fastest growing area right next to Vegas. Vegas has some awesome houses and they too are dirt cheap. Investment wise, I don't see as much upside in the Vegas area, simply because there is so much room to expand. That isn't as much the case in the Riverside area, cause they can only go so far before they are too far away from Oragne County and LA. Of course as the industries boom in the Inland empire should become even more self sufficient, although still, the majority of the people commute into the bigger counties. Vegas should be nice BMR, just dont' get in with the mob

That game was badass.

Up, Down, Left Right, Up Down, A B, A B select start or something like that. Unlimited lifes I remember..it was like, Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start I think that may be right.

Anyone remember Streets of Rage?

Up, Down, Left Right, Up Down, A B, A B select start or something like that. Unlimited lifes

SNK, yes. I loved that game. Yes, their was like that Yankees team and then the girls softball team. I always picked the girls team

Well after seeing what the Rangers got for Urbina (Whose over-rated) I definately believe their is some interest in Koch. The Yanks are interested in Koch as well as Benitez and I think we know Jeff Weaver makes sense, especially now that Wright is down in AAA. If you want my two cents, don't be shocked if Koch is out of town by the end of the week. I also think Jerry will be out of town.

I can go with that. Pujols is one guy I absolutely love as is Dontrell Willis, but Willis has to prove himself more. IN all honesty, Dontrell could turn out better then Prior, who knows. So many things can happen. But Prior, Dontrell, Pujols, Soriano, Bonds, Vladdy they are all amazing.

Anderson won and in my opinion it was one of the best home run derby's I've seen. Tons of fresh faces and man can those guys hit. I was rooting for GA and was glad to see him win. Oh ya, Pujols also showed why he's the best.

Buehrle should never be traded.

It doesn't use much any if you have an energy star computer.

Contra owned

Baseball Stars was freaking awesome. I never knew anyone else who had the game, but that was freaking tight. That was the game made by SNEK right? or something like that.

Its great seeing all is well Nuke. Take care and come home safely.

I thought the crowd was good and man Arod is such a sharp guy. The guy could do whatever he wants, imo. And hearing him say all those nice things about Chicago, damn would he of looked nice in White Sox pinstripes. Too bad he didn't accept the offer. Also, Dontrell seemed like a really cool kid. Its great that the Marlins get a kid like him and Lowell. Hopefully they'll keep those two (If they don't send them to the Sox ) and use them to build a real good fan base in South Florida.

Michelle, if the playesr were smart they would owe the money to the game. And without the fans they wouldn't get the salaries they get. Just like without people wanting to go on the internet, the internet companies (Ya Bad example) wouldn't get the money they get.

Sorry Michelle and Jason, but you are way off here....... The players SHOULD want to be honored to play in this game. It SHOULD mean something to them. Do they have a legal obligation to play? No But you have to be kidding me thinking that a guy wanting an extra 3 days off rather than playing in a showcase that is 70 years old is okay. Family illness, I understand. But just not playing because someone doesn't want to or they are not legally obligated, is ridiculous. The players very much DO owe themselves and the game of baseball the courtesy of not being so damned selfish. Guys like Curt Flood fought in court to get them the money they make now. The players in the past were on year to year contracts and often got decreases if their numbers went down at all. Now, players want guaranteed contracts for MILLIONS of dollars. HELL YES, they owe the game, they owe the players from the past who made this game what it is today, and they owe themselves to do the right thing. Rex, I agree 100% that they should be there. I'm just saying there is nothing forcing them in the contract and that if a player doesn't want to then thats perogative. I think the All Star Game shoudl be an honor and the players should be there. It meant a lot more back in the days because the bonuses actually meant something, although Prior got like a 1.5 mill bonus for making the game, which I'm sure meant something to him. If it were me in this situation I'd definately be playing because it means your one of the very best, plus from the looks of it the players have a ton of fun just joking around with the other players and fans.

Ya, starting with the next one I'll find out exactly where the school is located. I'll also go through tomorrow and make changes to the ones that I just did.

Well I hear he really knows football so maybe it won't be a bad thing.

Typically teams will draft quite a few catchers latter on because so few ever pan out and its a position thats so thin. Also remember that a lot of guys won't end up signing so they aren't really a part of the organization till they sign. One of the catchers, Deuchler (40th or so) is doing very good thus far in the minors.

I'd like the game to mean more, but it has to be the players that want it to mean more, not baseball trying to say it decides the playoffs. I think the game means a lot to these guys, in the terms of pride. They all try to go out and make a bigger name for themselves. In last years game how cool was the play where Hunter robbed Bonds and then Barry joke tackled him. That and seeing Lasord going flying down about two games ago are some recent memories I have. Well that with Konerko and Maggs having damn good games last year.

Was that the guy Pete Rose took out?

Yes, I feel Wood deserved to be in there. Him and Prior have been excellent. Willis has been great too, but Willis should of got in over someone else. Wood deserved to be there.

SN Report: Loaiza Selected to Start All Star Game By Mario Scalise July 14, 2003 SoxNet.net (SN Report #569) - On Monday, White Sox ACE Esteban Loaiza was selected by all-star manager Mike Scioscia to start the all-star game on Tuesday at U.S. Cellular Field. He will be opposing the San Fransisco Giants' Jason Schmidt for the National League. Loaiza, 31, ranks in the top 10 in the AL in wins (11, 7th), ERA (2.21, 1st), strikeouts (106, 5th), winning percentage (.688, 8th), WHIP (1.06, 3rd), innings pitched (130.1, 7th) and batting average against (.223, 4th). This will be Loaiza's first all-star appearance. After years of mediocrity, inconsistency and injury, Loaiza has seen his career take a turn for the best in his first season with the Sox, giving up two runs or less in 14 of his 19 starts. Coming into the season, Loaiza had never won more than 11 games nor posted an ERA below 3.62. He is on pace to win 20-plus and throw over 200-plus innings, which will be another career first. Shortly before spring training, Loaiza signed a minor league contract with the Sox, one that consisted of him getting $500,000 if he made the team out of spring training and a $3.5 million team option for 2004.

Well I'm very happy for Esteban. Its just with the team in the thick of things I'd rather have him starting for the Sox right after the break then pitching in the game. I do agree though the guy has earned it and I will be cheering for him the entire game. I just think its so stupid that this is thought of as more then an exhibition game. I wish they would do this and just let each pitcher go an inning or so and then have a few guys from the futures game rosters there in case they need anything else. And your right 3 innings isn't much. Also Mario, Halladay did something similar to Zito, well it wasn't Halladay himself but his manager.
