Unfortunate that they don't have a 1st round pick this year.

Still wonder where the bears would be with Urlacher.

But he could roll over the legislature at the time. Everyone was scared of him. Then he dithered for 2 years, put out some absolutely ridiculous ballot initiatives, spent a year campaigning about how evil the Democrats were and how he'd go around them to the people, and then once his ballot initiatives went down, suddenly no one scared or even respected him any more.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 09:44 AM) He is finally learning to play 48 minutes and to play intelligently. That has always been the big two strikes against him. And he's in shape to start this season.

Obviously this Bears team isn't going anywhere. That's sad.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:01 AM) Arnold had no chance. There needs to be an entire fresh start in California. Arnold had a chance to be that fresh start. After the recall stomping, he could have legitimately pushed for institutional reforms and probably won. He even had advisors (Buffet) saying that prop 13 needed fixed. Instead, he cut the vehicle tax with no way to replace the revenue, launched pointless fights with the teachers unions (demanding concessions but offering nothing in return), borrowed his way through budget deficits in good times, and did nothing to plan for the future. The way he was elected, he had a genuine madate to reform the state if he wanted to use it. He didn't.

The one guy I don't want is amare.

Until I read this article, I figured that Sosa's look was just the way the cameras had caught him.

Let's be honest...I'm stunned and so are you.

Just gotta hope that Bosh winds up being his eventual replacement.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 07:38 PM) What a load of s***. But ok, we're not going to change opinions.

Falling upwards to 4-2 so far.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 05:12 PM) Wow, that is early to do. Did they have to do it already? Pretty sure most options need to be picked up within like 10 days of the end of the series.

Derrick Rose has 7 turnovers in this game. Eek.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 06:54 PM) that baby sure does believe in a lot of stuff. None of which, seemingly, involve baby food. Strange.

You posted that just in time for me to see D2: the mighty Danks fly out to LF.

Maddy believes in freedom!

Bah, now that I'd actually have the time to sit down and watch a baseball game, the season's over!

Y would that happen?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 06:48 AM) Um, not for nothing, but your govenor saved the world on multiple occasions. I've seen the documentaries: Terminator 2, Last Action Hero...I can keep going, they've made a lot of documentaries on him, you should watch them. He's done such a terrible job that this really isn't even funny any more.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 11:52 AM) I would rather they spend all this time and energy into fixing the economy that healthcare. Especially because i fear their 'fix' for healthcare will f*** up the economy even more. or fix medicare first, show me you have some ideas that can work before asking me to trust you with a huge percentage of the nations economy. Too much waste inthe programs youhave, too much room for errors, too many opportunities for crooks. Fox something first. Fixing health care is 1 of the 2 things that must be done to put the economy on a sound footing for the long term (The other is fixing energy). Fixing health care is fixing the economy.

QUOTE (tommy @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 12:50 PM) While Retherford can possibly match the offensive output produced by Getz, there is no way Teahen will come to the production we are used from Dye. If we made all these moves last year to WIN in 2010 I think they will bring a potent bat to play RF via trade/FA signing. Unfortunately...with what we got from JD in the 2nd half of last year, if Teahen hits .220 he'd be an upgrade over that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 08:20 PM) Hey watch it... my governor isn't a felon Yet.

Undefeated in football since 1991.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 07:57 PM) Illinois doesn't sound so bad now, does it? Your governor may be a felon, but at least he knew what he was doing.
