QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2011 -> 08:48 PM) Viciedo walks. Balta, I think you're the key to his success.

No annual fee is the most important point. Secondly listen to Gage. Never ever carry a balance. Third, look for a card that offers rewards. ESP something hat gives you $25 for signing up or something. Personally I pay for just about everything with credit cards And I have for a decade. I'm good with it though, so I've never missed a payment never paid a cent in interest and theyve paid me over $1000 in rewards. Theres no big diffrernce between cards or brands for most people, just don't pay interest and don't buy extra stuff because you have a card

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 10, 2011 -> 08:00 PM) Yeah, cuz if the tables were turned and Bush invited a country singer who called for Obama's death we'd be preaching 1st amendment rights...GMAB. Personally I don't think it's a big deal, but it's not exactly the greatest PR move and I could see why people are questioning it. A couple years ago the same fox talking heads were praising common as the respectable, non horrible rapper.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 10, 2011 -> 07:41 PM) The irony is that the left wing has the same issue with explanations of abortions. You're comparing that to requiring a 48 hour waiting period and an ultrasound and a lecture on jesus?

Kids are pumped up tonight

QUOTE (knightni @ May 10, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) That's gotta be the best option of all. Keep them in the area, but outside of the city. Within 20 years, the Bears should look at a similar option. Bears shoulda done that in 02.

Oh and screw the cubs

I'd be a free agent

Btw, that's probably a really good thing for the steps long term. Their ownership has been awful for a long time

QUOTE (knightni @ May 10, 2011 -> 07:56 PM) If someone else bought the Sox, they'd leave Chicago. Where would they go? What market has a ready stadium and big untapped tv base

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 10, 2011 -> 07:43 PM) You can't forget he is also a kid who has always played two sports, and just missed an entire year of baseball on top of that. Thinking of him as a typical college kid isn't really accurate IMO. He's the exact type of college kid this board wanted... High ceiling high bust rate

No walks though?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2011 -> 06:50 PM) Promise me something... When the Sox win tonight, don't say "we won another series". Say "We won our 4th in a row, and tomorrow we're winning our 5th in a row". Jake Peavy agrees.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 10, 2011 -> 06:01 PM) Um, Ok? What did I say that was wrong? Mitchell doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. If you have to demote him then do it. He's not gonna see the Show anytime soon. Maybe a demotion is in his best interests. They started him off probably a level higher than they should've. He's failed miserably to this point. Personally, I don't give a s*** how he feels about it. Don't K at a 40% clip and you don't have to worry about getting demoted. Well, you totally missed the point...you note yourself "Maybe" a demotion is in his best interests, then just decide to rip on him rather than actually trying to convince me that a demotion might be a good thing. Guys have started off at levels too high, spent months struggling there, then had the lightswitch click to on before. Other guys get started off too high, struggle, and never recover. Rather than simply insulting him, maybe you could try giving an educated argument about why sending him down is the correct solution and letting him work out his struggles is not.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 10, 2011 -> 05:49 PM) His mental health went out the window when he decided to make Rob Deer's plate discipline look like Ichiro's. Demote his ass if you have to. That was a well thought out post which was totally worth my time.

The question is...which would be worse for him (mentally), the slump or the demotion?

thank you

The National Association of Pediatricians has long recommended that doctors talk to parents about potential safety issues, like having pools without fences and unlocked guns in the house. The state of Florida of course, thinks this is a problem. Specifically, they're about to pass a law that will forbid doctors from asking patients, or parents of patients, about guns. Because if parents knew that guns could kill their kids, their response might be to have fewer guns.

Very uncomfortable for certain tasks.

WTF? I don't want to watch that video because I don't want to resize my whole screen.

Transparent.

Sounds like I've got no reason to go to the Taste this year.

AAlan Faneca to retire.
