QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) So the reality would be, if someone wanted to never pay for their house, they could just put it into a relatives name, and ignore everything. Is it a problem if a 101 year old woman is foreclosed on and evicted from her home?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:18 PM) Then again this wasn't stupid, this was willfully ignorant. And no, you can't safeguard against a person who is willfully putting their mother on the street. The issue there though is that there is a 2nd human life involved who is impacted, and it is possible to safeguard against that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) A safe guard for stupid? Good luck with that. We have lots of fairly effective safeguards for stupid.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:13 PM) There are safeguards. If the son chooses to willfully put his mother out onto the street, there isn't much anyone can do about that. Should there be?

Let's find a coupon for that.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) Wasn't it Boras that told him not to get surgery? f*** Boras. He eventually did have the surgery.

Just needs those electric scissors.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:06 AM) its amazing how much of a difference 5 little yards makes. 4.2 yards?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) Really? So how far removed should you be able to have a homes ownership before you can foreclose on it? And there's my question...about whether there should be any safeguards for that issue?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:08 AM) Jackson was a genocidal asshole. Fits with Putin fairly well.

He cuts those out all the time.

Fortunately you can get those on sale.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) Wow, maybe I am in too Republican Texas but my read is Obama has a losing hand right now and needs to draw a couple winners to have a chance. And no, this isn't my usual pre-election hyperbole. His approval has dipped pretty low, the economy hasn't recovered as much as promised. His big initiatives aren't playing out too well. The Republican base is really fired up to defeat him, more so than any otehr Dem president in my lifetime. I think he's in trouble out the gate. ^ this. Well, except for the in Texas part.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) There are. The son chose to ignore them. But the son is not the one we're talking about here, now is he?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 01:35 PM) With the break in spring training, there wasn't a chance that Dayan was starting this season 2011 in the majors. The Dunn signing was well before Spring Training though, and when Dunn was signed, it made it really hard for Dayan to have a big league spot. That was what the original poster was criticizing. I don't mind having him planned to start in AAA this year anyway, he still had to work on patience and work on a new fielding position.

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 01:54 PM) God bless Joe Crede -- the real World Series MVP ... Please JR, give him a job If he's still in pain, he may not want one.

I have no problem with Dunn not playing for the rest of this season.

Benched again: Carlos Quentin.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) And if so that is because KW painted the team into a corner with spending big bucks on Dunn when we had an option. Peavy just might be another example. I don't begrudge him for being aggressive but it seems when he has his eye set on someone he won't stop trying to get that player even if it takes a long time. Being aggressive is one thing but it does sometimes come back to bite you. This isn't the worst thing in the world though. Quentin is signed for 1 more year now, Viciedo still clearly coudl benefit from starting 2011 in the minors, and it was entirely possible that Quentin would come out and be injured or really bad in RF again this season. Clearly Quentin was healthy enough that we'll offer him arbitration...but that wasn't clear coming into the season...and Quentin is movable somewhat now.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:41 AM) I'm more encouraged by the increase in walks recently than anything else I've seen. Walks are so crucial to managing slumps. If we have a hitter on our hands he can eventually draw 70 walks a season, it softens the blow of a .150 month significantly. No, he won't draw 70 walks in a season. He's up there to hit the ball. The thing with a guy like Morel who is clearly aggressive at the plate is that he needs to be able to take the walk when the pitcher won't pitch to him. That way, he's not getting himself out.

Dude's put on a fair amount of weight.

2 in the top 20 ain't bad.

How are you defining "Mean"?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 08:34 AM) Holy Jesus, the Marlins have 4 years $16 million on the table? That has to be a Guillen bluff. He can just buy out the last year of his deal easily then.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:56 AM) But that one was oh, so sweet. Does anyone else think it would be cool if Rivera got just one more save this season and retired so that he and Hoffman would be tied? I respect both highly and it would just be the coolest ending to me. Frankly...no, because Mariano Rivera deserves to have that record for a while.
