The parking deal?

Really if you look at the big picture, it probably was in the billions.

Patrick Daley gives him bonus points as well.

No one did it better than Daley. No one.

Liberals like yourself should be sure to learn the ropes from the best.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) I stand corrected. Must have blanked out the 2006 season from my memory...haha Is still don't buy the Twins this season... I hate tempting fate, but they aren't nearly as talented. Mauer and Morneau have to quit hitting like Dunn and Rios and get healthy for that to happen.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) Twins have had the best pitching in the league the last couple weeks. Pitching is the one thing I am not worried about for us.

Just get an internship in East Chicago or real Chicago. Those Dems will take you under their wings.

Hey don't knock it until you try it.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 11:59 AM) Looking like Gardeck will sign. I'm a fan of this pick. http://www.southsidesox.com/2011/6/14/2221...te-sox-prospect Sounds like another guy to work on repeatability with. I have to imagine he will start in the system as a starter to get him his innings and repetitions to work on his repeatability and arm slot.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 10:00 AM) This is true but players don't look at it that way. The guy who bats leadoff is only supposed to worry about getting on base and moving runners along. That is their mindset. Just like the "closers" position where people think there is no difference between facing the opposing team's best hitters in an important situation in the 7th or the 9th. In a player's mind there is a big difference. If they blow it in the 7th, the team can still come baqck in the 8th and 9th. If you blow it in the 9th, game over. This is why some hitters can't hit leadoff and some pitcher's can't close. It's a mind set of the player. I'm all for Viciedo getting a chance, he looks like he can be good if he keeps the Ks down. However you need to make sure the player that is going to the leadoff spot is mentally tough enough. I don't think Rios has the mental makeup, based on previous situations and I'm not sure Lillibridge is talented enough for a full season. I'd agree with that statement for sure. He is prone to long slumps and pouting. Not exactly what you want setting the table for you.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 09:58 AM) texts i never thought i would get are more like "make it bigger! viagra cheap!!!!" and "are you balding? rogaine in bulk" but yours is much better Then why did you sign up for them?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 09:49 AM) mully said this morning that cuban dropped 110 grand at that club, 90k on one bottle of champagne Good for Cuban. Hell if I had a few billion dollars, I'd be living his life.

Funny, I didn't see any donations, at least that is what Rich Daley taught me.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 09:27 AM) I have no urge to even see Alexei at the top of the lineup. Alexei needs to bat 6th or lower, there is no stat that can convince me otherwise. He doesnt need to do anything but think about hitting, he doesnt need Ozzie telling him to draw walks and try and lay down bunts We finally seem to have him right again. The last thing we need to do is Nick Swisher him up by trying to make him do something he isn't going to be comfortable with. the whole reason Juan Pierre is still on this team is that he is the one guy who actually has hit as a leadoff hitter on a regular basis in his career. Just like plugging Dunn into the DH spot, there are mental adjustments that go with putting someone in that spot. We don't need to screw up another player trying to do that right now. That is why Kenny isn't forcing Viciedo into the line up right now. It hasn't got anything to with the idiotic notion that somehow Pierre is being rewarded by Ozzie for sucking. It is the same idea as asking your closer to go start a game.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 09:20 AM) You are going to blame Floyd? LMAO The only easy out you could say is "Krause", and that leads us back to Otis Smith needing to maximize the talent he gets back from trading howard [/thread]

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 09:18 AM) Yeah, the hypothetical like "Juan Pierre is still playing almost every day." Yeah, that was totally what I was referring to, and not the thing that isn't provable.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 09:17 AM) I could take the easy out here and just reply to that with "Tim Floyd." In fact, that's what I'm doing for now. Phil Jackson couldn't have coached that mess, and you know it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 09:10 AM) You misread. Right now, we're rewarding Pierre for poor play. In your hypothetical, we're punishing Viciedo for hitting. That's how we do things in this org. I love your hypothetical world where we just make up stuff to fit our agenda better.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 09:13 AM) And yet, the Bulls only really finally recovered once they hit the Lottery. they didn't recover the first year after their team was dismantled.
