ALL CELEBRATEEEEEEEE
QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 12:44 PM) I'm not talking about a city/suburbs argument, and I think you know it. FWIW, I currently live within 2 miles (actually 1.25) of the city limits. For 12 years, I lived on the west side of the city proper. I have lived within 2 miles of the city limits for the last 30 years. I'm talking about other cities. People who abandon their cities for Chicago, but root against Chicago teams in a vitriolic, hypocritical way (this includes against the Bears, Blackhawks and Bulls btw) because "their team" representing "their city" is suddenly somewhat good again. These are fans of convenience who will literally ignore sports unless "their" team is suddenly in contention - and then suddenly there they are at the cell jumping on the bandwagon. Sorry for the vitriol. i still root for my hometown heat here in Chicago, its the meatball bulls fans that i run into at every bar that make me hate the Bulls, not so much the team itself. it makes it easier for me to want to troll the hell out of D-bag #1 sitting front and center at the bar when he's making reference to lebrons hairline every minute and talking about how much bigger chicago is than miami.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 11:51 AM) If I were to leave Chicago for a job elsewhere, I would not root for that new team's city. Yep. Well when i moved to Chicago from Miami you guys had prime Frank Thomas so it was easy to become a fan of the local talent at the time

Job Hunt Thread
I hear sprint is hiring people to work on their 4G LTE expansion by working on their towers, I also hear those people get paid very well. I wonder if I could get over my fear of heights so that I can collect some serious cash.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 25, 2012 -> 11:25 AM) Wow, judging from these it looks like CJ just surged in value. Maybe I should try to dump him for a better qb? (I have Vick and Flacco) oh i forgot the guy that traded away rodgers also got Randall Cobb in that deal as well.

Now that tickets are lower, what would you do to IMPROVE THE SOX EXPER
QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 24, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) It needs to be at least three hours before the game. Have a team museum, autograph signings by former players, contests, inside and outside activities. Get people in the park and spending money early. that would be cool. i hate getting to games early and being locked out of the park.

standard ESPN scoring system. 1 point for every 25 yards, TDs 6 points, INT -2 points, etc I agree that brady is super safe, and i have a gut feeling that CJ2K will be back to CJ0K again soon

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 09:56 PM) Again, and forever, context, but on the surface, no. Running backs are at a premium. If i said yes to that trade id have: Rivers/Rapistburger Peterson CJ0K Alfred Morris/Mcgahee Fitzgerald Denarius Moore Martellus Bennett Falcons D Legatron I get a feeling hes trying to sell high on CJ which is what i would do too in his position

Whatcha drinkin'?
QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 22, 2012 -> 09:26 AM) IPAs are good, and can be excellent, but I honestly think they are overrated. That hop taste can be fantastic, but I also think beer snobs limit themselves on needing a crazy IBU to classify it as great. Most of my favorite beers have intense, but smoother flavors from ingredients other than hops. IPA's constitute most of my top favorite beers, I love a good Hefe here and there, but my favorite beer as of now has to be Ah, is it the weekend yet??

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 19, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) I just go with my gut, the worst feeling is believing in someone else and being wrong. i agree but sometimes when im stuck i like going with the help of stat geeks like the guys on soxtalk that turn baseball into a freakin calculus class and make everyone elses baseball knowledge seem inferior.
