QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 05:57 PM) You think rubber would hold up to the pounding, chemicals, weather and salt better than what they have now? Chicago will always have potholes and s***ty streets, if you want endless stretches of wide open smooth freeway move to Arizona. I think that a rubber-based composite would be durable. I don't know how slip-resistant it would be though.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 06:56 PM) I'd love to see what happens if the team with the #1 pick couldn't get someone to agree to a contract before the draft and decided to start dropping a few slots to save the cap room. Without a major adjustment to the rookie pay scale it's only a matter of time. This is why they want to move the draft to February.

Krause could sure draft them. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-b...p&type=lgns

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 03:06 PM) The problem with the streets has nothing to do with the want or ability to fix them, but instead is based on science. Chicago has hot and cold weather. When the weather is warm, we have rain. When the weather is cold, we have snow. When it rains, small water molecules get into the cracks in asphalt. When it freezes those molecules expand, as the water expands it causes small cracks in the asphalt. When the water molecules melt small holes are left in the street. If you repeat this process over and over again, you begin to see bigger and bigger cracks, eventually resulting in large pot holes. If you could invent something to stop this process, you would be rich. The city has hundreds of other problems it could be using its workers on. Why not use old tires like they do for sports fields and city courts? Mix the rubber with asphalt to create a more durable road surface.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 08:16 AM) So what do you do for the other 45 minutes in a hour? I buy used cars, go to strip clubs and re-mortgage my home.

What monster have I unleashed?

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 01:09 AM) My cubs fan co-worker has texted me "cubs" about 50 times since midnight. Now I need to come up with a decent april fools prank for tomorrow... E-mail spam his account with White Sox news items.

I turn on my car radio and listen to whomever isn't running commercials.

They were close to renaming "Crazy Bread", "Sheffield Bread."

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 11:56 PM) Barry Bonds? Gary Sheffield, duh.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 03:10 PM) KW calls Billy Beane Ring, ring, ring... Beane: Yes? KW: Hi Billy, I was wondering if Chris Denorfia is avail.... Beane: You insolent bastard!!! (click) So either that happened or Dewayne Wise is a better baseball player. Can KW be Stimpy and Beane be Ren?

In one 30 second clip of Anderson being mic'ed on 30 teams in 30 days on mlb network, I laughed at Anderson; but, I can also see how he could rub people the wrong way.

I think that Anderson disrespected Ozzie and/or got his sons in trouble. It has to be personal somehow.

The Giants could use an angry old black man to play marginal LF and be a power hitter.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) Do you have shades to come with the WP? I have no idea what you just said owlboy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 03:07 PM) Yeah, that works. Thanks dude! I can't recreate the bat as well as I'd like.

QUOTE (Cowch @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 01:36 PM) That's really cool, could I get a 1440x900? http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/knig...lwallpaper5.jpg

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 01:31 PM) Ha, that's funny Jeremy. 1600x1200 please? A little letterbox format okay? http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/knig...lwallpaper4.jpg

QUOTE (dielac @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 12:55 PM) Looks great! Could you do 1680x1050? http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/knig...lwallpaper3.jpg

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 11:30 AM) Love the Kill Bill parody. Looks great, but would a 1280x1024 be possible? http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/knig...lwallpaper2.jpg

QUOTE (tommy @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 04:57 AM) Boss. Was it you who requested the logos instead of the mlb.com schedule?

I took a few suggestions on the calendar and went with a theme. This one is 1024x768, if you need a different size, let me know. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/knig...lwallpaper1.jpg 1280x800 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/knig...lwallpaper6.jpg This one is 1280x1024: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/knig...lwallpaper2.jpg 1440x900: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/knig...lwallpaper5.jpg 1680x1050: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/knig...lwallpaper3.jpg 1600x1200 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/knig...lwallpaper4.jpg
