Q is off the plate too much. needs to get back in where he was last year.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 22, 2009 -> 07:02 PM) We need a nice long offensive inning here. granted

s***

ozzie being aggressive with the pen.

oh my

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 22, 2009 -> 06:24 PM) Lately he has been getting a bit long in the swing. Hopefully its just him getting a bit tired out there and not because of any tinkering to get some more power. I've noticed that too, and I completely agree.

YES! Q WITH THE BOMB!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 22, 2009 -> 05:23 PM) So if they won last night, I'm guessing we wouldn't see this thread. of course not. it would have been a 'SOX GONNA WIN WS!!!!" thread

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 01:07 PM) Those are also tracked--what do they say? i believe you are thinking of the U6 unemployment rate, it is often referred to as the 'real unemployment rate' it's at like 16%, the worst rate since the great depression.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) THis is probably just a function of the "Out of the labor force/long term unemployed" ranks continuing to grow. unfortunately, that is the case.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 22, 2009 -> 01:46 PM) will we be the ones sending death threats to congressman? A.C.O.R.N. will handle that. You just donate some money, then sit back a relax.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 22, 2009 -> 09:20 AM) Sure thing, are we going to be doing the shout downs or the assault rifles? i was thinking more along the lines of bringing in SEIU goons to attack people.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 05:37 PM) yr. example sounds like the exception, quite frankly. you and Balta say "Frankly" too much.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 09:43 PM) Well we are not a good team. We are a 500 team, we take two steps forward and then two steps back. we need to go on a run. i think the sox have the talent to do it, but f*** losing to these teams is bulls***.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 09:42 PM) This team f***ing blows. How many games have we lost to terrible pitchers this year? We might be out of it before we even go on our road trip. step back from the ledge sqwert. but this game did indeed suck, and I'm pissed.

f***

the 'Chief' needed to go. the only thing me and Lowercaserepublican ever agreed on. We are both U of I alum.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 02:54 PM) People here seem to be forgetting as well, on average, people got into cars with much better gas mileage. That decrease in demand will help keep oil and gas prices lower, keep pollution lower, get people to travel (tourism $) more, and keep them at lower levels of consumer debt. The front-load issue will indeed cause lower demand later, but you ALSO get a bunch of longer term benefits. Let's not look at just one side of this. should have been a 'order a hybrid get 4500 dollars off' program. all cars getting 22 or less mpg qualify. just my 2 cents imagine how much less oil we would use

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 08:50 AM) My only bone with this program (well besides the obvious miscalculations) was that they allowed this to be applied to any car company. This program should have been kept to the big 2 US automakers. I can't believe if we are going to giveaway money, that we wouldn't make sure it saved jobs that actually can support people. yea, but Japan produces a lot of cars in the US. Reagan basically told em in the 80's they make cars here or they don't sell them here. which caused an uproar with the free trader crew. it worked out though.

computer science. worked at IBM a long time, now basically coasting on that; working with mainframes to get data into server environments. lots of metadata stuff. oh cloud computing too, i like that.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 01:27 PM) I pinch.
