List submitted. I agree that I could have listed 100 beers. I looked at my top 20 in ratebeer.com and found that most of them many people probably never heard of. So, I tried to include some well known ones that I still really enjoy. I still would be surprised if my #1 or #2 are on many other lists.

I caught up with Sons of Anarchy last night. Great episode. I like seeing Kenny Johnson get some more episode time. I liked his character in The Shield...I hope Tig eventually lets him patch over.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 04:56 PM) I think I'm going to post my list here also...it's not yet set in stone though. I won't add anything I haven't had yet, but I'm trying to figure out what I'm obviously missing. Edited by Balta1701 to remove my list These are high on my list.

Go for it. I like the idea, however, of separating out the "what if" threads vs. the news-worthy threads.

I was thinking about this, and I checked my ratebeer.com reviews to come up with my top 10 or so. I'm up to 390 reviews, and I probably have 20 or so that I've rated excellent. But, some of those are not beer that I regularly drink. I think a beer like Blue Moon will make my list even though it's lower than the top 20 of my reviews. This is going to a time-consumer. Maybe I'll have to go pick up a few to "re-taste"...you know just to make sure my list is accurate.

I'm game for a beer list.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 10:02 AM) I think this is a good signing. Kotsay provides a decent bat off the bench and can fill in at 1B and the corner OF positions. Hell, he'd be great as the left-handed side of a rotating DH!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 09:20 AM) Unless it isn't the question Very deep.

Mods, feel free to merge this thread with another, but I couldn't decide where to put it. Anyway, the MLBTR writers predicted where the top 50 free agents will go. Not surprisingly the Yankees and Angels are mentioned numerous times for the top few. The Sox are mentioned only twice. Three of the five writers predict Konerko and Damon. I suppose I'd be okay with that, but it doesn't plug every hole. I'd love to see KW make a splash and grab Crawford or Dunn or one of top 5.

Jolly ol' St. Nick will be here soon.

Does anyone else watch The Good Wife? Pretty good show that does a decent job working in Chicago politics.

Ha. I just saw that, too. Sigh of relief.

This better not be true...

Johnny Damon

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 8, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) He won this award on opening day. I'm not joking. I agree. He's a great defensive pitcher, but that play was ridiculous.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 8, 2010 -> 03:44 PM) Lee is done and if you think Konerko is one of the worse defenders apparently you don't watch the same games I do I don't like the constant referral to Konerko as a horrible defender. I think we can all agree that he does not have good range, but his ability to pick throws out of the dirt and to turn the tricky 3-6-3 DP make him a decent defender, IMO. I don't know much about Lee, so I won't hazard to guess if he's better. But, if Konerko doesn't re-sign, I think I'd be okay with Lee for $6 or $7 million a year. I still wonder if the Sox will go after LaRoche.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 8, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) What channel is this walking dead on? AMC

I've been going to the same place for about 10 years now. It's a barber shop, and they do a good job with my hair (it's like steel wool). Funny side story: I started going there about a year after I got married. After having gone there a few times I mentioned the name of the place to my wife and she said her cousin had the same last name. Turns out her cousin's father in-law is the owner. And no, I don't get a family discount.

I was just about to respond saying it was all speculation, then I saw the title had been changed. The analysis makes sense, but I think there might be more than 3 teams where he could go. And I think (and hope) that the Sox are one of them.

I just got around to watching The Walking Dead. Holy s*** is that a good show.

If you decide to do a beer list, let me know. I can get the info for each finalist.

QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 4, 2010 -> 09:59 PM) That was the worst Office episode of the entire series, holy god. I didn't think it was too bad. I laughed enough to consider it a decent episode. Michael's behavior was a bit odd (not the jumping on the bus to Mexico, that's vintage Michael, but the way he was very concerned with the way people were acting at the reception).

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 4, 2010 -> 05:46 PM) Don't worry. Be happy. Signing Danks is a good thing. Well put. I don't think signing Danks to an extension (especially if it's as much of a bargain as it sounds like it could be) would affect the payroll that much next year. If he signs for 4/$20-$25 million, depending on how the money is broken down you may be looking at $5 or $6 million next year. He's worth that for sure.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 4, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) What the hell stat is he trying to say in the bold? WHIP? Anyways, is there any way in hell we could lock him up for $20 mil/4 years? I figured it would be double that. Yeah, I think that would be a bargain. I'm not sure about double, but I would have expected $7 to $8 million per year. If they can lock him up for 4/$20 mil, I'd be quite happy with that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 3, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) What would you consider the right price? I don't think I'd pay much more for him than what we paid last year. I think we'd be better off trying to find a guy who fits as a better platoon partner with Quentin. $1 to $1.5 million. Not much more than that.
