I think this means Apple won.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 9, 2011 -> 09:04 AM) Italian bonds are back to crisis pricing. Stocks are down 2%, and all anyone on CNBC can say is they are surprised the stocks are down so little. Could be an interesting day. They hit the "Magic 7%" number today I see. Does that mean Silvio changed his mind on resigning after I signed off last night?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 9, 2011 -> 08:57 AM) Which still makes him 9th in line? Thanks for the reinforcement. I'm probably still stuck in "Ozzie" mode mentally and thus expecting them to bring the older guy north with them regardless of how well the kids actually perform.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 9, 2011 -> 08:05 AM) Yeah, unless Kenny trades off most of the pen, it will be pretty catastrophic if we see Bruney in Chicago. Santos Ohman Reed Santiago Crain Frasor Still leaves a spot for him if Matty is gone and Ohman is not cloned. All that means is that Infante/Axelrod didn't step up.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) knowing how long he worked for the Second Mile foundation and all the access to kids he had, it seems like a small number. Sandusky also lives 1000 feet from a childrens school Do we have any details on this foundation? If there was anyone other than him involved, and he was doing this for years, then someone, some kid at least, would have said something to someone.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 06:34 PM) It was a damn good 5th post. I actually thought he was right, but I went back through MLB Trade Rumors's site, and virtually every post about Konerko and another team had the caveat "but he's still expected to return to the Sox."

Marlins, Brewers in on Reyes, Tigers still deciding what to do on him.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 06:01 PM) I only followed it via Sullivan's blogging, but his press conference seemed...interesting. http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/20...in-presser.html In the same press conference, he denied ever having met the named accuser (the one who a Chicago Radio host says spoke to him briefly a few weeks ago) and then also recanted that denial and said maybe he did know her. Also, I want to change the Democratic thread to "The Democrat Machine of America."

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) Can you imagine Mark pitching against last year's Sox lineup? He would have breezed through it with that effortless style of his. I guess Paulie would be his one problem out, though. Paulie might be the one Sox to whack him around. Mark pitched against quite a few offenses worse than the Sox last year. Seattle, Minnesota.

Patriots release Haynesworth

Reagan-appointed appellate court judge delivers verdict upholding the individual mandate in the affordable care act, comes down very harshly on the notion that requiring health care purchases is unconstitutional. The author is a former official in the Nixon, Ford, and Reagan administrations, and also is the author of the appellate court decision which overturned Washington D.C.'s handgun ban.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) Without looking at the schedule, I'm thinking that at least one of the teams in each of those matchups might already be scheduled for the maximum allowable primetime games. If there's a limit for that, the Bears have to be close too, right?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) I have faith that the truth will come out -- and when it does -- those prominent politicians will answer for it, trust me. The media will assuredly all on assault them on it. And if they won't, the Internet surely will. In the end, the truth will come out, and in the end those that are guilty will pay, even if it means paying by muddying up their own names. I have faith that powerful and wealthy people have more than enough means to muddy the waters enough to make sure that even when the truth is out, there is a large group of people who believe that the real truth is still yet to come by some unforeseen means.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) It's only character assassination if it's not true. Is it true? If so, she assassinated her own character a long time ago...blaming the big bad republican mainstream media for doing it is a lie. That's like me blaming the liberal media for the ongoing character assassination of Cain. Thing is, if Cain did these things, and paid settlements to keep people quiet throughout the years, as the weeks roll on we will find out and get a better picture of the man Cain was/is...and in that same light, it was Cain that assassinated himself...not the liberal media. Really, we've watched the exact opposite happen here already. As more people have come out and said thing which accuse him of stuff, the "They're just doing it for money" volume has turned up.

QUOTE (MAX @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) I agree with that but if someone wants to overpay for him with prospects that kenny really likes he would pull the trigger and I would be happy about that. To put it another way, something unforeseen needs to happen to turn the high-risk, low reward move into a higher-reward move.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) I guarantee you we will find out in the weeks to come if this was true or not. How much would you like to bet? Verdicts don't necessarily have to mean "court verdicts", but if there is proof, or evidence, someone will come out with it...and with or without a court of law, we will know if it's true. Seriously? You actually expect hard evidence in what is almost by definition a he-said, she-said case? The hardest evidence you're going to get is the fact that there were settlements. Supposedly the accuser yesterday presented sworn statements from 2 of her friends that she told them about the events at the time, but look how convincing that was. Barring video of Cain grabbing some woman's behind showing up on youtube, there is not going to be any hard evidence.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) It still leaves you with a bad rotation,. Having a #1 guy, followed up by a young #2 guy is really different from having no #2 guy.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) If it ends up being true about Cain, we will find out. If it ends up being false -- get this -- we will find out! I know it's tough to wait as it unfolds before we decide to make up our minds. In the end, the truth WILL come out, and then and only then will anyone know for sure. Can't any of you wait for this to play out and get some actual verdicts instead of just throwing your hat into whichever side of the ring you want to win? It's pretty sick some of you actually WANT this to be true about Cain, simply because you don't agree with his politics. Whether he's innocent or not be damned, right? f*** him because he's a Republican. And don't pretend that's not how you feel, because it's apparent, and it's shameful. Innocent until proven guilty, right? Well, so long as it's someone you like, I guess. Nothing like waiting to see who's right and who's wrong here or anything...the media reported nothing but facts on this and we know everything! Personally I've never liked Cain since he started appearing int he public eye, I don't particularly agree with him on much of what I've heard, and his 9/9/9 plan is just...downright flawed. But wishing it's true that he sexually harassed people? I may not like his politics, but wishing he'd have harmed people to keep him out of a presidential race is f***ing sick. Actual verdicts? How? There aren't going to be charges filed for cases that happened 15 years ago. That's part of why you settle in the first place.

The "Low risk, high reward" move is holding on to him for 1 more season. The High Risk, low reward move is trading him.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) I think he's asking why he didn't attack Sandusky or at least put a stop to the action. Well, I don't know what kind of shape he was in at the time, but the guy was a Penn State D-Lineman when he was in school, some brief photo checks suggest he's still quite a well-conditioned guy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) jonmorosi Jon Morosi #Yankees have a lot of work to do with their rotation. Sabathia was their only pitcher to deliver 30 or more starts with an ERA below 5.00. This is really misleading though, since Ivan Nova gave them 28 starts, 165 innings, and a 3.7 ERA in his first full big league season.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) That game last night was a thing of beauty. It's incredible how well this scheme works against Vick, and how incredibly good the coaching staff is looking right now. Our slow start is on Martz for abandoning the run, again, to start this season. Don't forget the fact that Omiyale made it into the lineup again. The difference with him out is night and day.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) Pff yeah right. The board of trustees will have something to say about that. Link I really don't know how he could possibly be on the sidelines/in the press box this weekend.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 8, 2011 -> 01:39 PM) I want to know why this McQueary guy is getting such a pass. The guy (28 yrs old at the time, so not exactly a kid) walked in on a rape and did nothing but call his coach. How on earth do you not make a scene and try and protect the kid from that monster? McQueary's inaction was worse than anyone else at Penn St. IMO. First of all...are we quite certain he only told the coach about it once? I believe according to the police report he was quite shaken up when he first made the report. Second, I'd still guess that the coaching staff told him to let them handle it, with some force behind that decision.
