haha, thats hilarious

Garland is definately a solid pick. and i agree with TRU on Buehrle.

I like the optimism on Javier Vasquez for 2007. he definately has the stuff to do it.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 09:44 PM) I don't vomit until the 8th and 9th inning in close games. Even with all the innings pitched and games started, Wilbur Wood was never among the leaders in complete games. Most managers just aren't comfortable with a knuckleballer on the mound and a runner at third base. exactly. Haeger's role won't be to dominate games and finish them. Of course it would be nice to have 5 starters with that ability, but thats not going to happen. He's also proven himself in AAA IMO.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 07:08 AM) I don't think Sisco will be a steal this year. Hopefully they do things right and send him to Charlotte as a starter, and get his development back on track. The kid will be much more valuable in 08/09 as a starter, than in 07 as a middle reliever. I do get a great feeling about the Sisco deal. i really like the sisco deal too. but i think a great way to get him to reach his potential is put him in the pen for some solid late/middle relief appearances. i have feeling the guy could strive in that type of role on this team.

if Haeger could keep us in games i would go with him. IMO it would be nice to have a knuckleballer who could eat up some innings in our current rotation.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 05:50 PM) Your point: people don't study whether climate change is purely natural. His point: people study that all the time, the evidence just doesn't point to it. That's kinda hitting your point on the head. no, it really isn't. some people are reaching the conclusion that some of the climate change is due to natural causes. they are in the scientific minority. being in the scientific minority doesn't automatically mean you're wrong. i'm done with this argument, it is going no where fast.

you're missing the point.

like i said, i agree with you the main issue of global warming. you don't need to convince me. but you are entirely incorrect that suggestions of natural climate change are not worthy of study and could not be a possibility. i'm not trying to be arrogant, but i don't think you understand what you are suggesting.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) First of all, no, that is not the big question any more. the article you have cited states it is a likely hood human emmissions are a main cause and that natural enviromental factors are not the only source. all true. also, there have been huge climate changes on earth in the past and i've read of credible reports that state the main cause is probably due to human activity, but natural weather patterns cannot be ruled out. this may be difficult for you to accept, but it's a fact. suggestions that natural patterns may explain the weather changes should be tolerated. having a debate with you on sceintific standards and respecting minority or oppsoing views on issues seems to be pointless. the funny thing is we pretty agree on the global warming issue itself. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) Yes, Reasonable dissent is good. However, dissent for the sake of dissent, dissenting without solid evidence to back up one's case, accomplishes very little, especially in cases where politics get involved. politics is being played on both sides of this.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 11:03 AM) Scientifically, there's very little actual debate left right now about the cause part of that. We think we've got that part down pretty well. The questions now are the magnitudes of the impacts on all of the systems that interact with the climate, and yes, what if anything can and should be done. The big question, which is hard to answer, is how much of the temperature change is a natural cycle and how much is man made. i think reasonable dissent in this, as any scientific debate, is good. any honest, competent, scientist will tell you the same.

Nancy Pelosi doesn't need $300,000 per flight to make it back and forth from California. Neither does some money wasting Republican. not saying they should fly on a commercial plane, but does nancy really need seating for 50, a staff of 16 and expensive entertainment center on the frickin plane just for a ride to California? no, she doesn't. I'm sure the Republicans are wasting money on crap like this too, so 'i'm not picking on Pelosi or one party here. Both are horribly wasteful.

Michael Savage is about as good a candidate as Al Franken. both suck.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 07:04 PM) I'm curious. What's the damage? I haven't seen any of those fun articles yet with the pile of idiotic spending items. it's around $2,770,000,000,000 here is a link http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/polit...7/agencies.html

Any of you guys see the new Federal Budget? any other "old school" conservatives pissed about how out of control this is?

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 3, 2007 -> 06:39 PM) link please. there's probably not a link because i made that up. but you never know, there might be.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 3, 2007 -> 04:17 PM) dolts i thougth that said "colts" at first. i have superbowl on the brain! go bears!

you should make them burn an American flag in homeroom everyday. if you did that you could probably get a guest appearance on the "O'reilly Factor" and maybe even "Hannity and Combs". imagine how sweet that would be

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 3, 2007 -> 12:49 AM) bmags, the protestor died. do stil think it is ?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 2, 2007 -> 06:04 AM) I think the problem is more along the lines of the complaints about GWB not sending enough troops to 'get the job done' and then as soon as he proposes a surge, at that very moment it becomes a bad idea. haha, that is pretty much how it happened too.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Feb 2, 2007 -> 11:59 AM) He also attacked a Fox news producer, not from O'rielly, during the convention. He had to be restrained by security. also, during a speech by Howard Dean, a protestor starting heckling Dean and Franken responded by phsyically attacking the protestor.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Jan 31, 2007 -> 01:42 PM) He also supports teaching creationism on an equal weight with evolution. if the GOP nominates another evangelical, i'll vote Democrat just out of spite.

many dictators have been introduced to the sound of thunderous applause. you want to boo the new dictator? probably not a good idea. QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 1, 2007 -> 12:24 PM) They'll be sorry when the US drops bombs on them in the name of freedom (read: oil). haha more freedom bombs!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 1, 2007 -> 02:54 PM) it succeeded in electing GWB 1 time, and came very very close a 2nd. then who's president right now! no wonder Iraq is messed up, no one is running things. you should email the New York times or someone else in the media with this groundbreaking information you have.
