QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 10, 2011 -> 09:51 AM) The quality of the CGI has that big of an impact on how you judge a movie? If you saw the trailer you'd know what he's talking about. It's distractingly bad.

Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

QUOTE (T R U @ May 10, 2011 -> 12:09 AM) I think you mean Hawks-Heat winner You're a strange person. You think the Sox are still World Series contenders but think the Bulls have no chance against the Hawks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 10, 2011 -> 08:36 AM) It is always nice to wake up to some happy news! Agreed. Glad to see the bats waking up and Edwin pitching a gem.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2011 -> 06:54 PM) It also would be a huge cost cutting move as they would get to hire back all of those employees for much cheaper in the current work environment. They can come to Indiana, I'd give them my tax money to put down roots, buy houses, pay our property taxes, pay our sales taxes, reduce our unemployment etc. The move would pay off in spades. Not sure how you got Indiana. ...were mentioned in the article. You're telling me they'd get everyone to move to those states on their own dime and take a pay cut? I don't buy that.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 9, 2011 -> 04:47 PM) I think it'd be pretty easy to have gunmen storm the stadium/arenas during several minutes after halftime of a basketball or football game. Maybe they have eye in the sky people watching but I doubt it. I've been to a lot of pro and college football and basketball games and the minimum wage security people don't seem like they have a clue. What about hijacking the Goodyear blimp and crashing it into a full football stadium?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) Didn't they already go bankrupt once? They might have. I meant "closing it's doors for good".

I'd imagine that moving an organization of 6K people will be quite costly for Sears. I'd imagine a healthy amount of people will not make the move, causing them to rehire a large part of their workforce. That's a ton of lost institutional knowledge and experience plus costs for training and getting back to speed with new staff. The IT move itself will probably have lots of hiccups too. If they think it's worth it to leave then fine. Sayonara! You'll probably be bankrupt within 10 years anyway with the trajectory the company has taken in the past 20 years.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 9, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) You arent a public figure. I can point you to several hundred mentally challenged kids that find that word incredibly upsetting to them and their efforts to gain acceptance in our society. if you'd like I will even point you to their fb pages where you can see how much that word hurts them. It's absolutely classless to throw that word around, especially as a public figure. Thank you

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ May 9, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) This is a good discussion. If he were to get to 500 home runs it'll be interesting to see what happens. Right now I'd put in in the Buehrle route. Definitely a White Sox Hall of Famer and should get his number retired. But I think he has a better shot than Buehrle at making the Hall of Fame. Not that it matters much but PK has 4 All-Star appearances and an ALCS MVP!!!!!! What a great trade it was to get Konerko for Cameron. Konerko 1854 hits, 366 homers, 1154 RBI's, .283 BA., .359 OBP, .505 SLG. I'm not going to figure out Cameron's stats, but I would've never thought Konerko would be here this long and contribute this much. That's because Mark has zero chance.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) "Debate topic: if unlikely event x happens, do you think correlated event y will happen or not?" "X won't happen so I'm going to remind everyone that it's unlikely." Leave your algebra to the math thread.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2011 -> 02:37 PM) If you read the article, it's more like "renew the tax breaks that expire in 2012 or we'll find someone else to give us tax breaks". I did read the article and then called some contacts I have that still work at their HQ. They confirmed this has legs. But thanks for condescending.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) That sorta misses the point of the thread. Just saying it'll be a moot point since that's his only hope for a glimmer of a chance.

I don't think he gets to 500.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 9, 2011 -> 12:22 PM) Think you have the Sox confused with Minnesota Yes we won 1 championship in the last 90 years or so but we also have been a one and out in every other post season appearance.

We will need photographic evidence.
