Hermy's silence does not bode well.

Call it hunch, but I think this guy will soon be dead regardless of the legalities.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) It's kind of hard to get drunk if you're drinking in moderation. Even two beers per hour is fine if you have built up a tolerance. I can't remember the last time I was *drunk*, and I've been drinking every weekend since I was like 14 years old. I have never had a case where I didn't remember what happened the night before. I'll go for Rum & Coke a lot of times, or some White Russians, but you have to know your limitations. If you're slamming shots and you intend on driving home? Getting arrested ain't nearly enough. You should have your nuts chopped off. There are a lot of sure signs of a fool, and if you can't go out and have a good time without getting completely hammered, you most likely qualify. I have a buddy who has two DUIs already & he has to ride a freaking scooter in downtown traffic to get to work. What a moron. Considering your buddy is driving a motorized vehicle, he is probably in violation.

Regarding your comment that you "feel that including their work doesn't necessarily say much about me as a teacher. All I did was find material that was interesting to that particular student/group of students and adapted my methods of teaching the curriculum to their interests." To me, that is the definition of a good teacher. You, my friend, inspired them to do this high quality work. As for your dilemma about using the students work, talk to the students. Explain to them the situation and then 'flatter' them by saying you would appreciate their permission to use their work for those specific purposes. I think you'll find that most will be honored to help a teacher that inspired them so much. Don't sell yourself short. It sounds like you did a helluva job.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) I'm actually quite proud of it... Dude, if you are an adult and can honestly say that, I tip my hat to you.

It's nice to know that we have so many adult posters that have never gotten drunk in a bar.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) There's no way to predict if Jenks is going to be a reliable major leaguer. Sure there is ... *putting two fingers to each temple* .... I predict Jenks will be a reliable major leaguer.

It's Singleton's rookie season and he's in spring training. Man, you guys are a buch of critical bastards!

The ex-Cub factor has been around awhile. Just saying. Keep in mind, all this occured before ex-Cub Bill Buckner let a certain ground ball roll between his legs in 1986.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 01:39 PM) Dontrelle Willis and Jon Garland are also ex-Cubs, well ex-Cubs' prospects. And Mazzone did fix Cruz for the one season he was with the Braves. He just didn't continue his success when he was traded to the A's. But I agree, Cruz has been very inconsistent over his career and that is troubling. I wouldn't give up a top prospect for him either. They're not ex-Cubs unless they appeared in a ML game for the Cubs.

Cruz better not cost us one of our top kids. First, he's an ex-Cub. Second, he was with the Braves and Mazzone couldn't totally fix him. He may help, but he'll never live up to his potential, imho.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 12:59 PM) I doubt many people disagree. I know of some that would.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 12:53 PM) To be honest, I doubt there's many more deserving people here, and I mean that in the best way. I appreciate that. Thanks.

QUOTE(spataro51 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 10:13 AM) thanks guys i appreciate it. when i read some of the posts yesterday, because i didn't have a chance to read the whole article. i was under the impression that there was a problem and that mlb was trying to go after soxtalk and all that. but of course after i went out and got me a copy of my "claim to fame" i was thrilled to have been in the magazine and having soxtalk being put in the spotlight!! i think i am going to change my signature to...... Eh, personally, I'm not exactly thrilled about being quoted in SI.

FORDLAND, Mo. — Matt Suter can’t get the tornado out of his head — or his ears. Every time a late-night freight train thunders past, Suter wakes up and remembers the vicious twister that pulled him from his home March 12 and landed him in a pasture — a quarter-mile away. Suter’s harrowing encounter has brought him sudden fame, with national media exposure. One tornado expert said he knew of no one who traveled as far as Suter did in a tornado and lived to tell about it. “It’s a pretty awkward record to have,” the 19-year-old senior at Fordland High School said. read more
