QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 06:47 PM) In 1989, the U.S. Businessman had very limited ties with the Chinese labor market. THat was a development mainly of the 1990s and 2000's. So, your graphs are saying that the quashing of the Democracy movement in China turned out to be for the best in the future business interests of the U.S.? The coincedence of the graph jumping after '89 is certainly noticeable.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 06:47 PM) Of course, he is currently unemployed... so he might not be so picky. According to MLB Network, he's also a bit ADHD; so, sitting on the bench would be bad for him mentally.

Hudson would make KW and Ozzie's defensive plans awkward. He only wants to play 2B full time. Period.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 06:36 PM) So, we should have helped overthrow the Chinese government in 89? It never happened nor was it ever a thought, because the U.S. businessman and consumer needs Chinese slave labor too much. Democracy when it suits us financially.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 12:21 AM) We really need to let this play out and one of the best ways to foster this movement is to stay out. It worked out so well with Tiennamen Square.

Kenny, I'm sure that after the Rios deal that JR made you promise that you'd tell Ozzie ahead of time on personnel moves; but, Ozzie is not a personnel guy. He doesn't know what you know when it comes to putting a team together. That's why he's the manager and you're the GM.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 05:47 PM) That would be a people problem, not the leagues fault . It won't be my problem. Any Soxtalk league that I commish or am a member of won't be doing it.

"MacGruber" just looks awful. Of course, why should anyone expect a good movie out of an awful SNL sketch?

Thome would help if he's used correctly. Ozzie, you can still have flexibility and use Thome!

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 05:34 PM) Once again - I'm not positive on the issues, but it offers an entire new strategy to where you only have to win 6 out of 10 etc. Could load up on elite SP + Closers + Speed guys and win 5 pitching + speed cat and win every week. It offers tons new strategy. That seems dumb as well. A lot of people would give up sooner on their teams if they have 6 close weeks and are in a big hole after April is over.

So, you could get 4 or 5 of 10 categories 5 weeks in a row and be 0-5? That doesn't seem fair.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 05:26 PM) Square slices is supposedly from St Louis? It's a party cut used in thin crust pizza, originated in St Louis and Chicago.

One win/one loss pretty much kills a team with a dominant roster. What's the point of a bench or deep rotation if you only get one point?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) wait a second, doesn't STL use provel? I meant cut into square slices, St Louis style. I have used provolone and mozzarella mix before. Sliced and shredded, for variety.

If the 5 starters are among the best in the majors, why do you need 8 bullpen guys?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) He was also reportedly stabbed a month ago in the Dominican Republic. Maybe they were starting his surgery early.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 03:51 PM) ahh, velveeta on a baseball card, I'm glad I know not to listen to your food opinions anymore. Emos is atrocious. No, I don't use velveeta. I use real, shredded mozzarella and make my own thin crust and toppings.

QUOTE (NIUSox @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) Aaron Gray says hello... He'll be the tallest meat slicer in the world in 5 years or less.

Deep dish pizza was lasagna with a pizza crust after-taste. I'd rather make my own pizza at home, St Louis style.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) Joe Borchard = Matt Thornton in my mind, so bring on those pictures! WHOOPS! MY BAD! OH, SORRY!

"My wife told me to get off the couch and get down here. She was tired of having me around the house."

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 09:40 PM) Hahahaha the best part of those pictures is how semi-fashionable pretty much everyone is...except Coop. I love that guy, he is the most no-B.S. man in the organization by far. And this is an organization that contains one Oswaldo Guillen. Caption this photo!

Thome coming back would a be a huge PR boost if it happens. I'd bench him versus lefties and tough righties, if I was Ozzie, though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 09:49 PM) VC hates Haitians. Vince Carter doesn't care about black people.
