QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 09:45 AM) I don't know what/if they could have done better or differently, but Metra is really getting their ass kicked by the storm. From all the delays/changes/cancellations, to the s***ty job they did informing people, they are not having a good week. I have yet to see a public transit system that didn't struggle with this problem. I wish I knew the answer, because I'd be a rich-assed consultant.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 09:06 AM) why is the Joe West comment a concern? He was asked if he would stop and he said no. Whats the big deal? 95 percent of Chicago would have kept going, it was a friggin blizzard. It wasnt like Ozzie volunteered that about Joe West It struck me as more of a throwaway question with a funny answer. I so don't care about that.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 08:44 AM) Nice to see BS realize that Rose exists. Save a couple comments on BS Report about him, you'd have no idea there was basketball outside of Boston, OKC, and Los Angeles. It's getting a little tiring. At least the next BS Report should spend 5 minutes on Rose before 25 on Griffin and then talking about the Celtics as the best team in basketball! SC actually broke down Blake's game pretty well. The interesting part was 4-14 from 6 feet or more away from the basket. To me that is exactly what keeps him out of the top 10 players at this point. He has to develop some sort of a mid-range game to be in the elite. Honestly it was the same way with Rose.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 08:01 PM) Still think that a snowblower is a bad investment, lost? If I have some money left out of the tax return this year, I am going to look for a clearence model at the end of this season.

QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) Wow. That's a pile of suck. Where he lives, it happens a couple of times a winter at least.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 06:50 PM) Hell, take advantage of it. I'm meeting some guys up at BWW at 9, perfect end to snomageddon day. I won't make it until the second half!

Just for the record. I hate 9:30 starts to any sporting event.

Here is our main street. When it is this bad, they actually have to shutdown the street and bring in heavy equipment such as payloaders and dump trucks to clear the street.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 09:57 AM) I've recently been re-watching the series on Netflix. It's just as good the second time around. His wife is just such an unbelievable b****, though. Leave it to a woman to make her husband's cancer all about her, I guess I said the same thing!

QUOTE (QuincyStandback @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 01:32 AM) Breaking Bad. I know it's not on right now but if you get the chance watch it. Start from Season 1, you will be lost if you don't. Bryan Cranston is awesome in it. I've been following it since they started replaying it on AMC. Awesome series!

Those who do not learn from their history, are doomed to repeat it.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 01:04 PM) Thanks for the white gift outside....aholes! I kid, I kid. BTW, we lost the receipt!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) ? He wasn't really replaced until he got hurt. After he got hurt the team started winning, that's how he got replaced. They never even gave him a chance at his job back. Ozzie never does that.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 05:35 PM) Jason's not a CPA... yet. Off-topic... did you parents get taken care of?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 09:19 PM) p**** storm. Although it allowed me to go to Girl and the Goat with no issue tonight as well as drive to a few bars. Thank you blizzard. Well so far we have had two storms this year worse than what we have seen so far. The heavy snow might still kick in, but by Michigan City standards, this is pretty average.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 04:13 PM) most mock drafts have him in the first round and as high as 20th. I think people who doubt him also had doubts about curry and reddick, but they both are very solid pros now. I would also like to point out that Jimmer is more athletic than people give him credit for. I have watched him twice and he definitely brings more to the table than shooting. but yeah, like many have said, bulls are picking very late in the first round, assuming they don't trade the pick away at the deadline. i dont really see many impact players going that late besides a Jujuan johnson. taking a great shooter and a good ball handler as a combo guard, and who has a chance to be the next steph curry seems like good value to me. There are a lot of people who doubted Adam Morrison too...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) Gotta have defensive talent to be able to play defense. Teahen has virtually none. Which is why I think he was replaced so quickly in the line up.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) And also paid a much higher premium. It's not out of the realm of possibility, I just don't think this is the case. I don't have any insight into the situation though, so it's impossible for me to be certain of anything. It was also San Diego's policy, no?

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) Seriously... who is the back up 1b now when Paulie needs a break? Teahen? Dunn

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) To clarify, I don't think the Sox have really developed his offensive game at all, because he hasn't really done anything drastic offensively over the 3 years he's been with the Sox. There was some polish to his game, but the improvement he has shown defensively over a 3 year period has been outstanding. Surrounding him with Ozzie and then Omar is genius for Alexei's career arc.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 02:37 PM) I wouldnt mind Bonderman or Millwood. Obviously they would have to see Bonderman pitch first and whatnot. Yeah there are some guys worth taking a flyer on, but not depending on.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) Given the Bulls are going to be drafting in late first, I wouldnt mind taking a flyer on him. Outside of top10-15ish why not take a gamble in the NBA draft? We already have a guy that can shoot with the best of them and defend with the worst of them under contract for another couple of years.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) I know, it just seems to me that without him sending you a bit more detailed information, it'd be hard to make a good, solid recommendation. Then again, maybe that's just because my dad gives the "I'm not a financial advisor" disclaimer even to me if I ask him something. Besides, kap's not local I just wanted the chance to call Jason and Kap D-bags
