QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 10:44 AM) On an unrelated note, a guy asked me if I'd like to be a mule and smuggle narcotics in from Colombia in balloons that he'll teach me how to swallow. I think the money's good and I seriously can't think of any down side to this. What do you think? I say do it. And what's the worst that could happen? I mean, if the balloon pops, you'll get all the thrills without the bloody noses.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 10:48 AM) True. The person below me has not started their Christmas Shopping True. Nor have I started my Hanukkah shopping. The person below me loves the smell of napalm in the morning.

If you would have asked me this 20 years ago...I would have said Hilarious...but now I'm older...so, Funny it is.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 02:33 PM) True. Belt, wallet, assless chaps, and two shoes = five four. The person below me plans on giving at least one person a bottle of booze as a Christmas gift. True. The person below me plans on drinking a bottle of booze as a Christmas gift....

I have a feeling that nothing is going to happen AT the winter meetings, but they will set the stage for some early 2009 swaps.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 12:03 PM) Hermida is going to be very expensive to acquire, his injury prone, and people have questioned his desire to play. He reminds me a bit of a young JD Drew in all those senses, but it's still risky to acquire him. I think putting him on the backburner for now is a good option, and I think the Sox will rather look to free agency to pick up a player on the short-term. Abreu is a very interesting player to consider in all of this. Not saying I disagree, but isn't Abreu going against everything the club is saying this offseason? I mean, he's old and expensive, even on a short deal.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 12:17 PM) Gene Hackman said about the same thing when asked if he was becoming overexposed. I sometimes think audiences believe artists can take great reviews and applause to the supermarket and exchange them for food. You can't? Is that why Angelina Jolie is so thin now?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 12:10 PM) Alex Trebek without his moustache is like a Bizzaro World Alex Trebek and should not be permitted. What is Jim's last thought before he drinks his seventh obscure beer no one has ever heard of?

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 12:45 PM) True, been meaning to clean that out. The person below me is at work. True... The person below me STILL didn't get the Van Halen references a few posts back.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 10:50 AM) Seriously? THATS the matchup you picked as the best game. Alabama will crush Utah, I would say that is probably the most assured blowout of the three. The Tide's defense is going to stiffle the crap out of Utah's offense. This is a team that barely beat Michigan. Alabama is going to be in full hangover mode...which means either a close game or an upset.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Dec 5, 2008 -> 01:13 PM) When people make money, they spend it. So the guy in Malibu with the mansion has a huge mortgage, a summer home in Aspen, expensive cars, service staff, agents, etc, and when his stream of income declines, he still has bills to pay. If he didn't take care in financial planning, he's screwed. That's why "celebrities" go on reality shows and take parts in bad movies. That's why they go to card signings, etc. It's because they've grown used to the lavish life, and they want to maintain it. The Stones are a great example of a band that "sold out" many years ago. Their new music hasn't been relevant for 30 years, and they trade on their name to fill arenas. "Satisfaction," "Start Me Up," and some others from their catalog are regularly used in movies, tv, and commercials. I've heard that they're great in concert, but I wouldn't exactly say that they aren't in it for the money at this point. That doesn't mean they don't enjoy it, but they definitely want the cash. They are the first band that I can remember being sponsored (Budweiser, I believe)> How does one explain the enigma that is Samuel L. Jackson? For every "The Negotiator," "Pulp Fiction," and "Unbreakable," there's a "Snakes on a Plane," "Sphere" and "xXx: State of the Union." I mean, he's done some FANTASTIC movies. And some absolutely AWFUL ones.

YOu share a birthday with Terrell Owens and the bombing of Pearl Harbor! Happy Birthday!!!

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 6, 2008 -> 10:22 AM) CBS Radio is letting a lot of people go. Hubner is gone from the Score as well. Really? I hadn't heard that...when?

ACK!!! MARIOTTI WAS RIGHT!!!!!

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 11:36 AM) False The person below me thinks Tex forgot what site he was on. True...and also where he left his pants. The person below me didn't get the Van Halen references on the last page.

If the team is "cutting payroll" or "getting younger" then Hermida are probably the best bet. Or probably someone internally, don't ask me who. Either way, this team is not signing a 30+ expensive OF.
