Aware. But it's not guaranteed we need to pay off of those contracts. Those portions of that money could be moved. Somehow the blue jays were able to get out of vernon wells and alex rios. IF they play better, and a big market team needs a bat, there will be a sucker. We were the sucker most of the decade.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Oct 13, 2011 -> 07:00 PM) I can't imagine a team who would take any part of Dunn or Rios no matter what 2012 they have. That's fine, but that money isn't already spent, those commitments can at least be reduced if not outright eliminated.

They aren't sunk costs, you can rid yourself of them. You'll have to be creative as hell, but if we cloned kenny williams and made his clone the GM of another team, perhaps we'd find ourselves a bidder.

I think i'm more shocked that so many people seem to like the Man Up miller lite commercials.

It would be a lot easier to regulate these if they were legal.

But that's different than trying to make him seem more noble by saying he disagreed with slavery.

We were talking about 1491 and 1493 in the Dem thread. It takes about 5 pages into either book to be floored by how much more we know about these historical periods compared to when we were kids. But a few stories I've read of just untruths TAUGHT in school have really just bothered me. The one that doesn't bother me as much: • Back then, the they thought the world was flat, until Columbus proved it was round. I learned this was an inaccurate account probably in high school. But then in 1493 you learn about just how stupid Columbus actually was. He thought the world was pear shaped, with a nipple on the very top where the divine were chosen to live. But because of it's pear shape it was closer to China then realized. And when the King and Queen of Spain brought this theory to the scientists they laughed it off. The only reason he was able to make this voyage was the desperation to trade with China's riches, and Columbus's stupidity. But what an odd lie to continue to teach? No? The one that still bothers me: Robert E Lee didn't believe in slavery bought fought with the south because he believed in their cause. I only learned this was false last year, and it really angered me. The above lie surely tried to simplify things for a younger audience. This one tried to complicate it. But it just was false. And why would it be created? Anyway...you guys have more?

There's no way the restrictions of their contracts would hold up while the owners are refusing to honor their contracts and pay them.

I'm sorry, yes, I restored to factory settings. Haven't fooled around with it much, yet.

If the sox want more attendance, lower the ticket prices.

SHOW YOURSELVES, "SOME"

I stopped reading halfway up. But if the players truly found some investors for their league, and acted serious about it, the owners would cave in a heartbeat.

You're a smart kid...just move your ass out there with her and hit the pavement and you'll find something soon enough. Yeah, we don't know how long this is going to be. But, moving from all our friends and family to another city is going to be socially rough, so we'd much rather live in san fran then a cheaper alternative, unfortunately. I'll stay back for a month or two to find a job before moving. It'll help to now be focused. In what we thought would happen, i'm currently interviewing with a job in nyc. But they are based in Sf so I'm hoping they'll like me enough to find something for me.

I"m not an engineer. I have experience in operations, editing, customer interaction, liaising with development/marketing/sales, and some copywriting. I feel comfortable selling myself in a digital marketing role as well.

My GF is close to getting a really good job in sf. I'm blanketing the area with resumes but don't have many contacts.

Yes, I'm sure no tv station on earth would try to get the rights to that.

Does anyone live in San Francisco on this board? (Bay area, i should say)

No, I don't buy it. The cubs have a good media machine, but nowhere near the heights of being in the AL East and having ESPN all over you.

I ordered 1491 and 1493 together, and received 1493 first, and the 1491 still hasn't even shipped. So I switched distributors, and this one still hasn't shipped. It's a conspiracy.

Ah, man, marcus robinsons one game against the vikings was so great.
