QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 11:10 PM) Economic-wise, I'm surprised that players aren't signing quicker to avoid the "Over 250k" Obama tax hike plan. well, for the record, he said that may likely be delayed in effect until the bush tax cuts come up for renewal.

Something interesting the Irish Times has tried, is they have basically stores out of their web site. You can buy wine off of their wine list and other things like that. I thought it wasn't a bad idea, imagine linking cd reviews to places to buy the cds, dvds, books, etc. Make a deal with Amazon. I know some people think this could lead to corruption, but no more than is already possible in reviewing. If you break the readers trust by continually backing bad products, you is f'ed. but strangely enough that last part hasn't affected Jim Cramer

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) Ah, when you put it like that, it makes sense. IMO it just totally takes the professionalness out of the look of the site. I totally agree with you. I'm not sure what the solution is.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 07:29 PM) I looked up the story on his paper's website and did not see any new info. I did, however, send him an email asking if there was any new info after the denial of the deal by both teams. I will share it if I get an answer from him. On a side note I could not believe how poorly moderated their comments are... Some people are raging assholes in their comments to and about McCoy, and they left them all up there for all to see. HOpefully they go through it and delete lots of the hateful stuff. I'll tell you why, some papers don't believe in moderating comments, thinking it would show partiality and negate free speech

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 08:28 AM) Eh, speak for yourself. I LOVED that trade when it went down. Getting 2 young starting pitchers with considerable upside for a $10M starter who was throwing 86 MPH and showing obvious signs of shoulder problems was god damn coup. I was performing grand dances of joy and elation when that trade went down, if the Phillies had bothered to give Garcia a physical before finalizing the deal we likely would have been the ones to get 11 s***ty starts out of Freddy in '07 before he broke down for good. Everyone said he was finished, but said we should've gotten more. Same with every trade we've ever made.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 06:55 AM) All we gave up to get Floyd was a Freddy Garcia that just about all of us here knew was broken down, and we also get Gio in that trade. Completely different situation. And I will give Bailey a chance. I'm not going to boo the damn guy, and I HOPE I am wrong about him if he's indeed coming or way. In fact, I wish I had never seen him in person and that my brother wasn't a Reds fan so I wouldn't feel so bad about this. It's easy to say this 3 years later, but at the time we all felt that we didn't get enough for a 17 game winner. And further, I feel like you saw two things that said he had a declining fastball and have therefore concluded that these are true and define the player homer bailey.

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 06:52 AM) where's the Boomer trade? for serious. I had the same problems as well, and disagreed with some of these trades rankings.

Cool news. I hope he sucks for life!!! jk.

God we have the weirdest trades progressions.

the lines on the end that are supposed to give the impression it is going fast clearly are the pubes.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 03:13 AM) So, is the red on the logo blood? Yikes... I believe that's the vein. hahahahahaha this is hysterical

that would suck. Just when the hawks were to get on Natty TV!!! and I'm a journalism student.

well, I can honestly say I'd be happy if this deal went through, and Happy if it didn't.

I think Cowley is smart with this twitter thing. People will appreciate his quick info and develop a relationship with him.

was that article implying they were specifically waiting for the GM meetings?

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 12:24 AM) This would make sense if anarchy wasn't the most historically precedented method of governing in human history. Remember that anarchy is, by nature, a conservative idea. Oh just go f*** yourself, where have I said I'm an anarchist? All I've been saying here is that your black and white view of what holds water academically is remarkably full of crap. This stems from your hilarious notion that every group other than traditional conservatives is anti-intellectual. well you had a good run. I think this was longer than last time, no? Terrible recidivism rate.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 11:25 PM) I can't see anyway the major conferences (ACC, Big 10, SEC, Big 12, Pac 10) would agree to a playoff without being guaranteed one entry. Maybe they should just make sure their conferences don't suck.
