QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 06:04 PM) Prior to this thread, i would have handed him some tp. I guess I'm not versed on men's sex in the bathroom, thank goodness. I didn't want to know any of this, ever.

Yea, I know. I thought about flushing this one, but it's not how we do things here.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 06:44 PM) But I am sure you admire his steadfastness to this issue dispite the meaningless contradictions in his own personal life, right?

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 06:43 PM) so it's come to this. an mlb draft thread in august. god please make this season end. Indeed. It's pathetic, isn't it?

SOMEONE WHO POSTED IN THIS THREAD IS A TROLL. AND NO, THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK BECAUSE I'M NOT SAYING WHO IT IS. I SURE AM GLAD THERE ARE I TOLD YOU SO'S BECAUSE OTHERWISE I WOIULD HAVE NOTHING TO SAY. JUST GO AWAY. THANK YOU.

Won't happen. Ever.

Have any of you heard of Brett Lawrie?

QUOTE(WCSox @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 04:35 PM) I'll take anger during a really bad season over Jerry Manuel's "ho-hum" attitude during a mediocre season. Hopefully they'll have this same chip on their shoulder in April. And May and June and July and August and September, which would mean and October as well.

Carl Everett. My last post ever, because it's so dead on. Just kidding.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 02:28 PM) "The Benefit of the Doubt" is crazy. Clearly he was looking for sex. Clearly he was looking for gay sex, with another man. Clearly he is a hypocrite and a scumbag. Was what he did illegal? Seems like sexual harassment to me and harassment as well, looking through the crack. Was what he did humiliating? Absolutely. Was what he did worthy of expulsion from the United States Senate? I think so. Why would anyone bother to defend this guy? He's clearly not worthy of defense. But then again, the human willingness to defend someone for the indefensible never ceases to amaze me. I haven't heard ANYONE defending this guy. NO ONE. So what's your point?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 02:41 PM) I think we are missing a major part of this though. He wants to CONVERT .avi to a DVD file. That's something most of these burn programs won't do. He edited his original post.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 03:49 AM) I'm wrong a lot. I'm also right a few times. Just like everyone else. What's the point, I'm not allowed to give an opinion? It's just that once you get on something, you are pretty obsessive. Of course, so am I, so my glass house is broken, too. For example, Fields sucks, Uribe is awesome, and nothing will change it. Just an observation. Sorry, shouldn't have said anything ... you add a lot but sometimes just push things beyond what I would expect. That's all.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 01:53 PM) So please tell me who in politics has a right to speak out on the environment? Are you aware of any politicians that don't drive a car (besides Ralph Nader), use solar power exclusively, and recycles their own water? I applaud the work that Arnold Schwarzenegger has done in California and yet his carbon footprint is probably 100 times greater than the average American. That wasn't my point. *breathes out, CARBON*.

DVDShrink... it shrinks the DVD's to ensure that they fit on a standard DVD +/- R - but the quality isn't as good because it's compressed. Having said that if you just want to watch them and aren't worried about quality so much, it's a good program.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 12:23 AM) He was on a roll at the end of the season and finished with decent numbers. Of course it was a mirage, it reminded me of when Jim Abbott came back to the Sox after being released and went 5-0 at the end of the season throwing junk up to the plate. Milwaukee gave him some decent money that winter and wound up eating most of it as they released him fairly quickly. Not everyone thought it was a mirage. They were raving about his split. Not that you are wrong about this, but are you EVER wrong? Just wondering.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 01:59 AM) Thome 19 of 20 against the Rangers now. Yipes. And he's reached in 7 straight at bats. 19 of 20, that's not a typo?

® vs. (D). We already know that.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 01:28 AM) If I had to bet, the Fed will not raise interest rates. If you listen to the FedSpeak, they do not want more cash in the system on the public end. They want liquidity in the system, but they don't want to put a bunch of money out there because they don't want inflation. They are still scared of inflation. That's why they did the overnight lending instead of the Fed Funds rate. I think the same. Anyone want to short, like right now, on some stuff? Because when they leave the rate alone, we will lose 500 points EASY.

I'm going to turn you in to the copyright police.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 09:01 PM) I guess I don't understand why you would need to call him a dumbass.So lets say, for instance, that Lawrence Taylor was quoted as saying "Hey kids, don't do drugs. They are bad for you." Would you tell children to ignore his message? Because he is. Not necessarily for this, but he is anyway.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 08:24 PM) And, sure enough, the major equity indexes have gained back almost all that 2% again today. It's insane, isn't it? OHHHHH the Fed isn't going to cut rates! BAMMMMM. Down we go. OHHHHH the Fed IS going to cut rates. WEEEEEEEEEE. Up we go.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 08:06 PM) OK so, I read the quote, and I agreed with it. However... I just now read the OTHER part, where he said he'd ask them to give up their SUV's. So let me rescind my earlier statement. I do NOT agree with that. The quote that is in this thread, though, I am fine with. For the most part, so am I... but if I choose to have a gas guzzler, I should have that choice.

Let's just have the government control everything we do. You can have only 1 child per household. You cannot drive SUV's. You cannot make more then $100K per household, everything else gets redistributed. Let's get rid of profit motives and create a totally socialistic society. All cars must be brown. Your home must not exceed 1,500 square feet (since you only are allowed one child, this is plenty of room). You cannot express your opinions on baseball message boards. Now, we have utopia!
