Hey Kalapse can you tell me what to think about this deal and then also what to do my paper on?

QUOTE (tommy @ Dec 3, 2008 -> 12:51 AM) I don't necessarily see how this deal makes the White Sox better in 2009. yeah I'm struggling. I see some good prospects, but I'm not exactly thrilled at this point to get back just prospects. Especially now a reclamation project.

Why has it been so hard to get trade details on these sox trades?

Stuff like this I kind of feel like Congress is just covering their bases. I'm not saying we are invincible by any means, obviously, but what the hell do you do with this info. Within the next 4 years, there will be an attack with bio or nukes on US soil. That is the most generalized crap I've ever heard.

Well, considering the very successful plus size modeling going on in advertising right now, I have a hard time believing she is getting shut out just because she is fat. A few agencies may have told her that that have no jobs for her size, but maybe she just isn't that great. I know a lot of pretty girls, most aren't models. I'm sure there is some rhyme or reason to what makes a good one. She probably sent this stuff out to get good will on her side. It's a nice ploy to get a job, but I'm not going to get up in arms and fight for her. I'm having a hard time getting a job too.

but basically no one will also end up really wearing their clothes, they serve as influence and art. And considering it's their product and piece they should be able to fit it to someone who gives it the best look.

more his business dealings with people in foreign countries like Pakistan, to make sure that she isn't dealing her diplomacy in a way that he, or his friends, are profiting.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 02:53 PM) D'Oh! And seriously, it could be what was being modeled. Some clothes just look better on super skinny people. Not all modeling jobs reflect the strengths of all models. Another agency might have deemed her too skinny for their assignments. I'm considering a career in modeling, I'm going to be the "before" pictures. I'm glad you brought this up because this thread was so fist pumpy I thought I'd get jumped. Fashion modeling isn't really about looks at all. It really doesn't matter whether 100% of us would say she looks beautiful, because when they are on the runway it isn't about them, it's the way they make the clothes look on them. I'm not saying that the movement towards a -2 size is perfectly fine, but not everyone can be a fashion model, and further I don't think girls are as influenced by runway models as say, SI models or Victoria secrets models, of whom they have a variety more sizes.

I hope he doesn't accept.

God doesn't get tired except after world creation.

I would have slapped him and taken the repercussions from the secret service. A duel would then be had. I would lose, but still live. The White Sox will then win the world series.

The heavens are celebrating.

eh, they came up kind of the portland scene so that didn't really seem out of place with portland scene.

I'm trying to listen to the new killers album. I'll tell you one thing that's always bothered me about them, I've always felt they were trying to be british, and along with being adored by the british press, it is a knock on them imo. I think they write some good pop songs and I admire their attempts at progression, but as a whole I can't stand behind them with much support.

I could see that.

the tribune front pager on sunday I think was much better than the AP one. Was terrible. I can't imagine.

I feel like I've seen a nice one off of 88 around farnsworth exit. BUt those aren't very good directions.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 30, 2008 -> 11:52 PM) Finally got around to it and I love 808's & Heartbreak. I agree, it's some interesting production much more minimal, I think that was a really apt insight. I hate the cheezy production that goes with R&B and pop, and Kanye continues to bring interesting influences into these genres. Honestly that 3 minutes in don't say you will with just the beep and the drums going back and forth I think is awesome. I think that's the key to Kanye and why I don't understand the hate unless its the dumb argument about how he's arrogant, because people I guess are going to be friends with their favorite musicians. But he was a musician who rapped, instead of a rapper.

the constant bending over may hurt his back!

for the month of april I want Thome to power bunt it to the left side for the sheer gimmick and gaudiness of having a player bat 1.000 no matter the detriment to our production.

I doubt the White Sox are actually interested in Willy Taveras.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 28, 2008 -> 05:21 AM) The Giants, speaking on Barry Zito, and the Angels, speaking on GMJ, would probably disagree. The difference between a veteran player on a large free agent contract and a prospect or AAA player making league minimum can easily be marginal or worse on the field and astronomical on the payroll. The reason we're trading our own bargain in Javy Vazquez is because we're looking for similar or better performance for $400K. Makes sense. That said, the players deserve whatever the market will bare. It's unfortunate when s***ty GM's offer s***ty contracts to s***ty players that upset the market, but these things will always work themselves out in the end. You don't see teams like Texas and Arizona overpaying on the free agent market anymore, and for good reason. but those are two bad contracts, as I'm sure there are more, but I'd imagine just as bad as any other private field.

BUT JOB CREATION

I don't think baseball players are that overpaid considering the amount of money baseball makes and the amount of players who can compete at that skill level.
