Sigh.

Here we go again.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) Still stand by my theory that if Beckham looks bad in his first AB, you might as well pull him for rest of game. I guess he's lost your love tonight.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:40 PM) Lastings was on deck when Garret Jones hit the 10k in Pirates history, or he'd be on that list too. What did Milledge do in that Ab?

Well, there's the hit.

10000th career franchise home runs hit by player: Brent Lillibridge: 1.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 05:44 PM) Watch it be Lillibridge. QFT.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) Does Buehrle have an incentive in his contract for no hitters? If he does we're in trouble. Every year M-56 does something incredible, the Sox fall back in the division. 2007, 2009, the opening day thing last year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:04 PM) this inning You have been proven wrong.

One of, if not the most sought-after political consultant on the Republican side has signed on to manage the Pawlenty campaign.

Damn Konerko's wheels.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) Little 500 week is here. Get ready for insanity ladies and gents. Anything good on the schedule this year?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:00 PM) WTF. I enjoy the post game show. Why are they canceling it? Hawk's drunk.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 08:37 PM) Chris Paul's not a great PG anymore? Missed that memo. Still takes a damn good PG to lead that Hornets team to 46 wins thus far. You CANNOT tell me that Chris Paul this season was the player he was in 2007-2008 and expect me to believe it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 05:16 PM) I wonder did this occur in '06. That 3-4-5 of Thome/Konerko/Dye was better than booze. According to Hawk Harrelson, Jim Thome and Mark Buehrle did it in back to back weeks in 2009.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 07:38 PM) True. Either way the '3-year' rule was never an option. Now it's REALLY not an option that JD has established himself as one of the best non-ace pitchers in baseball. I'm just saying something is going to have to give. Same with Jackson if he has a good year. I said this in the other thread...let's be honest, if Edwin Jackson keeps doing what he's doing since he came to Chicago, he's going to be pushing close to the $100 million figure too. His agent is Scott Boras. He'll get paid what he earns this year. There's a team or two in NY who could kinda use a pitcher.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 07:28 PM) That obviously would've have happened already. Cahill, like others, went with the security. That's good. As I don't think Cahill is that good, anyway. Danks ain't signing for that. Nor should he. Exactly the point. D1 went for the big payday rather than the security. Nothing the Sox can do can force him to sign one of these team-friendly guaranteed money deals. He's going to get his $100 million payday.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 07:23 PM) for the person on the program. not so much for everyone else (taxpayer). all health care in the US is just overpriced. Actually, since the taxpayer also winds up on Medicare eventually, it's quite a bit of savings for the taxpayer...the taxpayer is able to get Health Care after age 65, which prior to Medicare, was only happening for a sliver of the population. I will 100% agree with you on the 2nd part. Content with that? 100% agreement. Couldn't agree more.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 07:19 PM) Sorry, Jerry, times have a changed. Gonna have to bite the bullet with Danks. As soon as D1 agrees to sign for $30.5 million, I'll guarantee you KW and JR will jump at it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 07:19 PM) Square rooting for for TCQ! Ok, I'll give props on that one.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 06:40 PM) affordable like medicare and medicaid? Compared to the private market, yeah.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 07:09 PM) thanks. did you need to sign up for a 529 plan to enroll in upromise? Not to enroll. What you will actually need is a 529 account linked to a specific person in order to take money out of the uPromise account and make the funds available to you. The uPromise funds can't be transferred to you, they can only be transferred to a a 529 account. I don't have a kid yet, so I just have the account sitting there waiting there for a person to hook it to (don't tell wife I wrote this line).

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 06:20 PM) sounds affordable Compared to what happens now (Planned Parenthood) or what happens with neither (no prenatal/preventative care and hospitalizations when things go wrong), yes.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 06:16 PM) they can only get health care at planned parenthood? that's weird. honestly, you will get more people on your side without the exaggerations. Well, they could also get health care through the newly enacted Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 once that is mostly in place.
