QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 27, 2008 -> 04:02 AM) When I tip, it's almost always 20% (unless the service is amazing/horrendous). But here's a question: Do you tip the pre-tax amount or the amount after tax? I've been told you shouldn't include tax in the tip, and if that's true, then tips should be less. But, I feel like a cheap bastard for doing that, so I always tip based on the post-tax total. You tip the pre-tax amount. For my sister who is bad at math I tell her to just double the tax amount (8% X 2 = 16%) to figure out a reasonable tip Also, if you have a coupon or eat somewhere where it's half-price whatever day, you tip based on what the bill would be without the discount. The people I work with don't seem to know this. I feel like an ass being in a party with people who leave a 75-cent tip for a bill that would normally be over ten bucks

I know that's the title of the article, but did Ozzie actually say he won't be missed? From the quotes provided at that link Ozzie seemed a tad more diplomatic than that

I'm much more attracted to brunettes. But what I like now that seems to be a new trend is when girls completely dye or put in streaks of pastels like pink, orange, red. That is sexy

I tip at least 20% no matter what because of all the s*** waitstaff has to go through

I like Full Tilt. They have several free rolls each day

Hey I'm just giving you the facts, interpret them as you wish

I can't even trust pot anymore. I don't know what it's laced with or how it's cultivated but I've had a few bad experiences

That doesn't sound too fun. Your coke experience must've been really bad to be recommending acid

Anyone try real cocaine? I want to hear those stories

Well played Leonard

Good ole' rooster sauce

What's with all the apostrophes

Are you guys joking? It says developed by: those guys in a huge font for the opening credits

I think that means you're gay

Yeah God forbid we actually try to expand or revolutionize scouting abroad. I really don't think it's coincidence that your statement is directly underneath lostfan's signature

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 09:16 AM) Dotel career save numbers...most of them prior to surgery when he had a 94-97 MPH fastball with the Astros and A's. 83 saves 36 blown saves Conversion rate=69.7% I don't expect anything higher than 70% out of Dotel, not after the way he pitched last season for us in many critical situations. Are you including saves/blown saves from situations in which Dotel was a setup man? They should be omitted

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 03:54 AM) I think with Dotel, we'd have a 65-75% conversion rate, as opposed to Jenks at 85%. The question is will the player we get back in return for Jenks allow us to make up those 3-5 "lost" victories and blown games in other ways? I'll let the VORP and Bill James statistics types analyze that one. Historically, it has been better to invest money in other areas than in relief pitchers...and the White Sox have gotten away with not paying any big-time closers. The one we did bring in, Koch, was the biggest disaster of all our closers over the last decade. By win shares, Jenks has never been worth 5 wins just by himself for a whole season. The top position player on our team has been anywhere from 3-6 wins more valuable than Bobby during his time here. A trade of Jenks at this point in his career should be considered as we have at least two to three gaps in our lineup right now
