QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 12:39 PM) P90X's are like family, we dont REALLY fight each other, we fight weakness together!!! speaking of which. Core Synergistics today. Sheesh so much for recovery week. haha

QUOTE (Cali @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 12:14 PM) I'd really prefer Beckham hitting lower in the order for more chances at knocking in runs... actually batting him second gives him a chance to have more ABs in a game than if he were hitting 4th or 5th, so he will have more opportunities to drive in runs. especially with Pierre leading off. If he gets on base, a nice two bagger scores him.

QUOTE (Heartattack19 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 08:24 AM) I have looked at it as well, i was a Math major at Loyola. I only started to review for the first test, the Series P Exam, which was basically a review of Pron and Stats. It seemes doable, but would require a lot more time than i had. I know that to get hired, most firms would like to see you pass at least two exams. I have friends who could pass those tests, but i figure it would have a really tough time and decided against it. Good luck! Check with the Actuarial Society in Chicago, i think you can get practice tests there! that bit had me a tad confused for a moment. then i re-read.

that was an awesomely polite argument.

though i will recognize this as ingenuine as the next guy - what else do you expect him to say?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 01:15 AM) I was just referring to the HR total. yeah i know... most of that post wasn't really directed at what you said... even though i quoted you. Gawd didn't you get that?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 12:49 AM) His HR numbers SHOULD increase due to ballpark, and the fact he hits a lot of doubles, so 25 might be a possibility, but I see that more as a max than a likelyhood. I think 18-21 is a pretty accurate number. ok fair enough, but say a few of his 34 doubles turn into homers. That doesn't leave you with 25 hr and 30+ doubles like suggested above - because if you LOSE the doubles, say 6, and they become homers, so you've got 21 or so, you're now at 21 homers and 28 doubles. Sure that's good, but 25/30+ is not going to happen

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 10:32 PM) that hits 25 homers and 30+ doubles why exactly would he suddenly jump from 15 hr a year to 25 because he's on our team? I mean i like the guy, but lets temper our optimism and not name him to the all-star team quite yet.

i feel like Teahen has a chance to be another Tony Graffanino - guy who's... ya know, alright, but who everybody loves.

she's obviously made some big improvements.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 10:09 PM) Where's everybody been? Hope your not all taking the weekend off..... haha nope. starting a recovery week next week, though I AM gonna do some resistance work too. missed a B+B so definitely gonna throw that in. Yoga tomorrow tho. keep it rockin' everybody!

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 09:02 AM) Andruw Jones = 2010 Comeback Player of the Year. 2010 White Sox, Comeback Team of the Year between Jones, Rios, Konerko, Quentin, Jenks, and Putz, we need a whole lot of comebacks.

QUOTE (The Beast @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) Here's a question for everyone in the thread - how did your first love break up with you? week before my 21st birthday. yup. that night went swimmingly, I can tell you that.

QUOTE (The Beast @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 03:45 AM) Pick up attempt 1 - "Hi, I'm Ross. Tell me, what is the worst pickup line you've heard tonight...mine? Excellent. No seriously, what is it?" Lead to an uninteresting conversation about how this girl hates her landlord. Dance attempt 1 - Went up and danced with three girls, awaiting the other two of my friends. Didn't go so well. The verdict: I hate hip-hop culture. (I never want to be called homie or "brutha" again. And I hate the phrase "Oh s***, son.") And that it's probably better to just meet women in class or in clubs. I hate bars with a fiery passion. EDIT: Though, tonight was a confidence booster. I took more initiative than my other two friends that were there. It was nice to remember that I have some game and that I dance ridiculously. That is, I do random s*** as opposed to just grinding against some girl's ass for 1+ hours. i'm picturing Night at the Roxbury. So much.

ESPN's fantasy projections have him at 25 hr and 90 rbis to go along with a .288/.355/.494 i think i'd be ok with that.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 01:34 AM) It appears I forgot a few words in that sentence. lol. I meant to say, while I WAS still hoping for Thome, Damon, and Dye to be our DH's, I thought Jones was still capable of hitting 25 HR for us next year. haha fair enough.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 20, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) Like I said from the beginning, Andruw Jones is one of my favorite players, and while still hoping to get Thome, Damon, and Dye for DH to be safe, I really think Jones can break out and hit 25 HR next season with at least a .250 average and playing some outfield for us to give Quentin a rest. And to prove I have been a Jones fan, there is this.... http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2453/dscn3026.jpg where have you been?

who cares? how bout we get 'em both out. they're both old, declining, hell thome won't even sniff the lineup 75% of the time.

so Nicole Joraanstad of our Curling team... damn. that is all.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) Woo, I LIKE Back & Biceps! First time I've done it, but man, if you don't feel like you're accomplishing something there, you're dead... Had a nice little 9 mile bike ride this afternoon to make up for a bunch of crap I ate last night while watching Paranormal Activity... i love B&B too, you really hash your arms. get ready for the SORE tomorrow.

when my little league team won our world series. we were the White Sox. I wonder what team did i subsequently picked to follow? Note this is while I lived in New Jersey.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 01:16 PM) Correct me if I'm wrong, but your implication seemed to be that extreme inattentiveness and hyperactivity is just "kids being kids" and not a legitimate disorder. ah here's where we're confused. no, i do not believe it's a legitimate disorder.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 01:03 PM) I have status with United. I rarely have trouble getting economy plus seating even if I'm booking within 2 weeks of the flight. in fact, with united, often you can get economy plus seating at the kiosk when you check in - so no, it's not difficult to select your seat ahead of time.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 01:33 PM) My son went/is going through the same thing. He was super hyperactive as a toddler. I work afternoons, so picking him up from pre-school and kindergarten was my job, and it was a job that I hated every time I went. I always braced myself for the bad daily report. This went on until 2nd grade, and then we took him to a center that diagnoses ADD/ADHD. They determined that my son had ADHD. My wife was ready to put him on meds, but I wasn't so sure. I wanted to try alternatives such as exercise and improved nutrition. I believe that nutrition is a major factor. In fact, the office we went to for the diagnosis had a questionaire that asked the same four questions 25 different ways. One theme that was constantly repeated was diet. We've been pretty bad about totally changing our son's diet, but we do try to make sure he's not just eating carbs. My son loves bread, pasta and sugar. And carb intake was one of the things that the questionaire repeatedly referred back to. I did some research (and I'd recommend that you do some - there's a ton of stuff out there), and it seemed to indicate that ADD/ADHD people tend to lack certain vitamins. I found this amino acid supplement (Neu Becalm'd) and had my son take it. http://www.lifehealthsolutions.com/calm/becalmd.html It wasn't a miracle drug, but he did seem to improve some. He really doesn't take it anymore, but I figured it was worth a try at the time. The doctor was less than enthusiastic that we opted for no meds, but recommended karate (for focus/discipline), improved diet (good liquid multi & fish oil), and patience. Patience is huge. My son is in 5th grade now (and hasn't taken karate - but does play soccer and basketball), and he's improved greatly, but is still incredibly frustrating. Sometimes I hate myself for getting angry with him over his inattentiveness. Thankfully, I've been nominated as one of the "Posters You Wished Posted More." That calms me. this is a GREAT idea. my brother and i both did tae kwon do from early ages which A) let us take out our aggression/energy in a constructive way and B ) taught us discipline - our master was a hardcore dude. my brother was always extremely hyper and aggressive and quick to anger, but doing tae kwon do went a LONG way to curbing this. No drugs required.
