Wong & Owens

It should be obvious now that since this group of players has underachieved, shown a complete lack of fundamentals, played heartless baseball, gotten humiliated by a team with less talent, repeatedly choked in pressure situations, etc. under TWO DIFFERENT managers, the problem AIN'T the manager. Regardless of who that happens to be. The problem is the players, and many of them need to be shown the door.

You're right -- they are a chain. They are my one exception I guess. I initially thought they only had the two chichagoland locations, but later realized there were more of them.

Take Out -- Fat Johnnie's(south Western Ave.), Cida(Countryside), Mario's Deli(Bensenville), Vito & Nick's(south Pulaski -- but for sandwiches only, their pizza is horrible), Rosangela's(Evergreen Park), Fuji Grill(Forest Park), Panes(north Sheffield) Sit Down -- Khyber Pass(Oak Park), Jack Gibbons(Orland Park), Morton's(Chicago and Westchester) Duck Walk(north, er Damen? I forgot), Mykha's(Glen Ellyn) Pappadeaux(Westmont), Marbuzet(Forest Park) This list could go on forever. No chains allowed--they are the source of all things evil.

Not to rain on the good samaritan parade, but does anybody know how much of the revenues from these bracelets actually goes to cancer research? As opposed to "administrative costs," etc.?

I'm going to Hawaii in February. I hope there still is a Hawaii in February.

Balanced budget = Republican? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! There's going to be another attack someday, regardless of who is president. Not all conservatives wear blinders, Tex. You'd be better off emulating those types. And you think having a GOP person in office at the time would have prevented that? That's laughable at best. Because Iraq has been such a resounding success to date. Again, as long as all 18-25 year olds from the Texsox clan are enrolled first

18 year olds from your family first, right?

You can't possibly believe that. If you do, then you've completely lost it.

So, is this little exercise in frustration turning out to be all you expected it to be, Tex?

1. Do you sleep with your socks on? NO, THE TOES NEED TO BE FREE 2. Do you stare at your naked self in the mirror and flex? NO, AND IF ANYONE EVER CATCHES ME DOING THAT, SHOOT ME. 3. Do you masturbate at least twice a week? YES, EMPHASIS ON THE "AT LEAST" PART 4. Could Optimus Prime beat up all four G.I. Joe? YES, G.I. JOE'S WERE NANCYBOYS 5. Have you ever just cooked up a pound of bacon and eaten it? NO

OK, here's an interesting article: http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/Colleg...20.asp?GT1=5100 I can't disagree more with this guy. Less population growth = less economic prosperity? Tell that to an African woman with 5 kids. And, who cares about economic prosperity if the planet you live on is a lifeless sand ball? While population growth RATES are declining, an already over-populated planet will have a 50% higher poplulation in 2050, when compared to today. That isn't good news. End of my whiny rant. Thoughts?

Anyone who would vote for this moron for any level of political office is, well, a moron. No, it is not my opinion, it is fact--vote for Keyes, and you're a moron. Your right to vote should be rescinded

Yes, but this stuff goes in cycles. Just like grunge in the 90's, "hair metal" in the 80's, and arena rock in the 70's, rock and roll will again be mainstream someday--and then it will go away again.

There's really nothing you can do, because it's not what you have in your pockets that causes hold-ups--it's the lines. You have to go through a series of checkpoints, and the lines at these checkpoints can be pretty long. You can skip one of them if you have an electronic ticket, and aren't checking on any bags, but apart from that, you're stuck in lines with everyone else.

Well, at least they're arguing about something relevant now, as opposed to wasting more time pointing fingers at events from 3 decades ago.

Let's see, the Sox have been flailing unsuccessfully for 4 years now courtesy of a lineup chock full of low-OBP, strikeout-heavy power hitters, and you want to give up a 24 year-old pitcher with plenty of upside for........a low-OBP, strikeout-prone power hitter. Pitchers require time to develop. The number of 24 year old pitchers that were dominating from day one can be counted on two feet over the last 10 years. While Garland's lack of progress is frustrating to be sure, he hasn't gotten worse, the stuff is there, and he seems VERY durable. If you keep him, at worst you get a solid 4th starter, but at best a 15-18 game winner. Garland will get it, eventually, just be patient.

Hey, It appears that I'm already signed in, but I don't see how you actually make your picks. Is that part of the site not functional yet? Or am I just stupid?

Plain pasta? Marinara sauce is very healthy, and very low-fat. Tomato sauces actually have more lycopene than raw tomatoes. Not to mention, you should never, ever trust people who eat pasta without sauce. My kick? Baked beans. Although I'm not sure my co-workers appreciate my eating them for lunch.

The Romans used to brush their teeth with urine. If only they knew the full range of benefits one could obtain by draining the lizard

That's not true at all. Evidence is mounting, and within, say, 5-10 years, it will be commonly known that homosexuality is a product of one's genetics. I guarantee it.

Gov't should have a say in ethical decisions that virtually all sane people agree upon, i.e., murder is wrong, stealing should be punished, etc. But nothing in the Constitution says anything about, as Apu said, the makeup of marriage, or abortion, etc. I trust the scientists that say s-c-research would save countless lives 1 billion times more than I trust ANY politician giving me a lecture on what is morally right or wrong.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize how enlightening and informative this thread had been at the start. Now, which "I love the Republicans, all you other types is stupid" thread was I in again?

No, you're right. Government officials, being of supreme intelligence and ethics, should decide that for us. I'm sure the Reagan administration would have been anti-stem cell research back then, had it been an issue. But, ol' Ronnie catches Alzheimers, and now we see which side Nancy now stumps for.
