I'm with you. If we had adrian gonzalez it would make our team a lot more fun in baseball video games next year, at the very least.

I really kind of hope he could at least move to the OF.

you can't expect ESPN to cover more than 4 teams, guys. Let's be realistic.

Rogers has never been very good at predicting sox prospects.

Yglesias doin what he does...sayin s*** better then meeeee

yeah sorry knightni didn't see the separation :kick:

huh, when I hear top 20 rock acts, I think it's weird I assume it meant how they perform live... Sorry i didn't get a list in.

I didn't know this was going on. I say we withhold any further entries.

Well done.

I feel like we look at these lowlifes like they have superpowers, or something. I really doubt, if a play is made to release them, that just because the jail is off U.S. shores, this means the U.S. would not be hit in that "play." How many countries have needed an offshore jail for their most heineous criminals?

I really feel this "national security threat" is incredibly overblown.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) Then people need to STFU about what Fox practices outside of the newsroom. Fine. But I don't even know an example of what you are talking about?

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 15, 2009 -> 06:25 PM) You write that as if it was one, and only one, pro-union piece that has ever graced the pages of the NYT. How silly. Yeah, there have been. It wouldn't change my point, that the original post's point is stupid. Are we to understand that a newspaper's ownership and management not only endorses, but practices every editorial message they publish? And then, so, is Bill Krystal pro-union?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 15, 2009 -> 03:57 AM) Yeah, this is why the United Center is more Wrigley Field than Chicago Stadium: http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/blackhawks...khawks-fan.html article in summation: I can't spell I can't keep track of numbers I'm trying to act older and more hardened than I am Please think I'm funny Please think I'm funny Please think I'm funny

it's now 15 years after probably the greatest american documentary they is http://tinyurl.com/ydxcjv8

So they had an editorialist write a pro-union piece and now the times management, which is probably far, far removed from that, must only hire union workers. Another amazing post.

Your : "opinion" waiver doesn't do anything. And, also, a critical point, the problem with fox news isn't that it's "conservative", it's that it's republican. And that's a big difference.

Yeah, it was a pretty awful trade.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 04:37 AM) And I will throw this out here Re:Albert http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,7287484.column I saw that, but keep in mind who that was written by.

Hypothetically, if Jerry all the sudden popped the wrong meds and was like "Kenny, you got 200 mill to work with", what the hell would our team look like? That would be the rams.

I'm really enjoying Surfer Blood - Astrocoast. The fact that it's summer here helps it probably? I unno, I really like it though.

yeah. The city's love affair with its players along with pretty good revenue, I don't see the cardinals not re-signing pujols.

Yeah I don't see the point. I loved Let The Right One In. So creepy and happy and all kinds of weird emotions provoked. And the kids seemed like kids and not kids saying adult lines.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) What his "Rejection" means is that he's not yet satisfied that he's been presented a comprehensive plan, and thus he's not going to put more blood and treasure on the line just yet. Which is an impressive move, if its true that the entire defense side was just basically saying "More troops" unanimously. I'm not sure where i saw this but I believe I read a key thing he wants is some sort of workable structure for the debacle that is the Karzai government, such that we're not just backing up a corrupt dictator with more troops. I can't complain about that line of thinking. This is what I was getting at. Karzai needs to make some major reforms as a sign of solidarity, like, stop profiting from the poppy trade.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 05:24 PM) Exactly, this "rejection" rumor doesn't mean we're pulling out of Afghanistan anytime soon. It also doesn't mean that we are pouring tons of troops in either. It's nice to see such a deliberative process with this - I get the sense that they are really trying to find a strategy that both works on the ground and for our soldiers out in the fight. I didn´t say that it meant we were pulling out, I said we SHOULD. BUT I think it does mean we are not going with a huge McChrystal surge, I think we realize it will just give Karzai some comfortable years before we retreat and he has his head chopped off. Or he chops off others.
