QUOTE(BearSox @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 09:49 PM) Just curious, but if the Sox get Hunter and have a LF of one (or two) of Owens/Stewart/Crisp, that would be an all black OF. Now, when was the last time Chicago had an all black OF? I don't mean this in a negative way towards you, but really, what difference does it make?

Second time I've said this in 10 minutes. LOL ... I thought we already had Juan Uribe.

Valentin isn't going to make or break this club.

We already have Juan Uribe.

QUOTE(juddling @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 02:34 PM) i'll see if i could find it but the guy who started up the Weather Channel also came out recently against the global warming hoopla. This IS the guy who started the Weather Channel.

I love Ron Paul's platform. However, I can help but feel that if he becomes a serious candidate (Read as threat to the real PTB) we'll just get him assasinated by supporting him.

Just consider the source.

I know this much. If it wasn't for meat, my father's family would have starved in the 30's (Dad was born in '33) ... He, as a lad, learned the importance of not taking his shot until he knew that shotgun shell would put meat on the table. Rabbit, squirrel, quail ... whatever ... he had to make sure of his shot. And yes, at 5 or 6 years old he was putting meat on the table.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 12:40 PM) i really dont pick sides when it comes to global warming, and in fact i tend to agree with coleman that it is an overblown media pushed thing (which isnt to say its not occuring) but it would certainly be nice if he actually provided some evidence other than simply saying i have read a bunch of papers, talked to a bunch of people and i know i am right I agree with you that something more would have been useful, and I was hesitant to post this for that very reason. I decided it was worth worth posting because of who he is more than what he had to say.

Thank you!

Ok ... if one of you mods can fix my typos, I'd really appreciate it.

Rememeber John Coleman, the man that coined the the terms thorms and thowers? (That would be short for thunderstorms and thundershowers for those of you too young to remember). He went on from his days as the Channel 7 weatherman in Chicgao to become the founder of The Weather Channel. John Coleman's take on global warming.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 11:35 PM) Everyone needs more of this in their life. I remember watching this live when he did this and I nearly died laughing. If somehow any of you haven't heard this, enjoy. I watched this video, and then spent about an hour watching other Blackhawks videos. Brought back many memories and it did my soul good to hear the great Lloyd Pettit yell "A shot and a goal!" again. When it comes to the 'Hawks, the times, they are a-changin'.

After TJ surgery, you can figure a solid two years before a pitcher is back to normal. I'll pass.

Well, this morning, I've watched Game 5 of the '05 ALCS and Game 1 of the WS. I now remember why I don't to trade Joe Crede.

Everybody knows that the good guys lost Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time. Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, she'll break you every time. You know you know the Deuce is still wild. Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night. And I've got such a long way to go, to make it to the border of Mexico Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes Come spend the night inside my sugar walls And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls. I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty. Yet I swear I see my reflection some place so high above this wall. Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon Gonna get high as a kite by then

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 10:51 AM) No, not really, as Soxtalk usually knows better. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=55660 From that poll, 43 people thought the Sox made a mistake by not offering arbitration to Riske. 38 thought the Sox made the right move. Okay ... I was wrong. It happens.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 10:00 AM) Back again. Nothing has been amiss around here, in fact, it's just the opposite. Things have been so darn quiet around here that there's nothing to write about. Most nights, we just go out and patrol a clean and quiet area and that's about all. About the most intense thing that happens around here are my workouts in the gym or a game of HALO in our building. I don't want to bore anybody with minor everyday nonsense so I won't unless I'm asked. The last time I walked into a bar and spotted a few guys in uniform, the first thing I ordered was a round of drinks for them. You tell your buddies that there are some of us that really appreciate the sacrifice you and your buddies are making. May God be with you all.

The school board is elected by the people and it every ... EVERY .... parents right to question what is being done within the walls of the schoolhouse. Just because a teacher doesn't like being questioned or second guessed, well tough s***. I pay your salary. I'll have my say.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 10:07 AM) Actually Yas I will respectfully disagree on that one. When that went down, there was a bunch of people upset over the fact that we were losing the draft picks because of the arbitration. It was a strange decision at the time that they didnt offer him it. Your point is noted, but the fact remains that very few wanted him back. If you offer arbitration to someone that sucks, and he did suck for us, they'll almost always accept the offer. So, no draft picks and you risk having to release him after he is awarded a couple of mil in arbi.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 07:28 AM) Jeremy Roenick scored career goal #500 last night. CONGRATS JR!!!! Always one of my favorite Hawks - talented scorer, would hit anything that moved, and wasn't afraid to speak his mind in a very entertaining way. It wasn't the prettiest goal he ever scored, but it still counts. to JR

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 09:40 AM) How stupid would the Sox look if they ended up signing him? They didn't bother to offer him arbitration after making $1.8 million, AND HE WAS A TYPE A FREE AGENT. Dumbasses. If they offered arbitration to Riske, this board would have been up in arms at the time.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 10, 2007 -> 04:38 PM) You lost me. You mean Romney's Mormonism today is seen in the same light as Kennedy's Catholocism in 1960? I don't think so. Even in the 60's, I doubt much of the population saw Catholics as a cult. If they did, Kennedy wouldn't have gotten the votes he did. I wouldn't say that Ctholicism was considered a cult, but at time there was a lot of concern that the Vatican would be controlling the White House.
