QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) Yeah, I thought the same thing. That's so silly of a story you'd have to laugh at anyone who believed it. Yeah, who would ever think a union would hold a work slowdown to protest... Anyways... That inspired me to look up who posts in these anymore. Its pretty much your page now. You'll have passed me in the Republican thread pretty soon. That is pretty much all there is to say.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 02:34 AM) IIRC, Infante had consecutive games last year (in the minors) where he threw 100mph pitches. I seem to also remember him having a pitch clocked at 103mph.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) I think the Yankees FO is a little annoyed with the Rangers. What I mean is make them not be a revenue-sharing recipient for three years in a row, without taking financing from baseball or advance money from television networks. Then I'll be impressed." Does the Yankees President know about this thing called Cablevision?

Blue Chip, Michigan City. Let me know if you want any info about hotel, casino, or stuff to do here in City.

To anyone's knowledge, has anyone ever done a survey or study that equates election results with relative followings on social media? I'm currently covering the very beginnings of the local primary season in my hometown. There is no polling or anything else done, as only about 5000-6000 people even vote, and I am curious if that would be any kind of an indicator of who is "leading" in the polls as the election cycle moves on.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 12:53 PM) I've never bought anything through them, but I'll still get at least a $25 gift card every year to Starbucks or something. For me, it's worth the 2 seconds to click on the links. That sounds funny, but for those who don't know... All you have to do is go to the mypoints website and use a click through from them to get to your favorite shopping sites, and you get points from that. You don't actually shop on mypoints. You still shop on whatever site you would be shopping on anyway. My other favorite thing they have points for is Ebay.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 09:50 AM) The ruling is actually good for Chicago. While I am not a Rahnm backer I think he is the best current candidate. For the love of god if Carol had somehow squeaked in. Huberman is the current version of Chico, takes a lot of jobs within the city and does nothing with them and moves before anyone can figure out what he is doing. Rahm has worked with Clinton and Bush so he will nto be overwhelmed by the job. I can not say that much for the others. Who ever walks in will be in a world of hurt. I am going to bet today that whoever it is, ends up being a one termer. The City of Chicago is a house of cards right now economically. The budget is a scary mess, and it is at the revenue max with as high of taxes and fees that it has compared to the rest of the nation. The next Mayor is going to be responsible for some brutal decisions that need to be made.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 11:51 AM) LoL, Yao Almost as funny was Shaq at #2 in the East centers. WTF people?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 12:08 PM) I almost never buy anything through them and they're paying me about $100 a year. Almost all of my shopping is Barnes and Noble. I end up around a free 4 star hotel stay per year. Usually we save our points for stays on a vacation somewhere. Last year we got a great deal on tickets to the Childrens Mueseum and Zoo in Indy, plus a stay at the Union Station hotel down there in one of the train car rooms. Between the points and money from my radio work, the mini vacation was totally paid for.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 01:16 PM) I have a few websites I'm a member at that pay me for doing ordinary tasks like using their toolbar/search engine and clicking on links. Right now I'm averaging about $100 a year I pull in between them. They're all also pyramid schemes, so I'd be happy to refer anyone if they were interested. Yeah me too. Anyone interested in mypoints.com, let me know. It is especially kind to you if you do a lot of shopping on-line.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 09:21 AM) I think this is one of those round number resistence things - so it may not behave the same way as normal technical resistence points. Not sure if that means more or less likely, but I wouldn't necessarily say its the same 3 and over rule that people are accustomed to in this case. Those barriers are important from a psychological standpoint with traders. If it can hold, it could sustain the rally for a while longer.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 08:59 AM) They're all going to give you money and you're waiting to see who gives you the most? I don't get it. I'm a Republican, what's to get?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 08:40 AM) I take it no one else watched the debate? You all waiting to see who has the best campaign commercial to help you make your choice? I'm waiting to see who pays me the most.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 10:35 PM) I'll use the Balta method here. So, what you are saying is... 1. Social Security is OK now but will break later, so who cares of we are borrowing from it and not fixing it. 2. Because interest rates are low now, that means the doubling of debt is no problem. 3. Small stuff isn't worth doing, and the big stuff is impossible. Did I get that right? Thank you. That was making my head hurt.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 28, 2011 -> 08:50 AM) Dow up over 12k again. 3rd day now. Its an important test day going into the weekend. It needs to hold, or it could be a while until it hits it again with that kind of resistance built up.

A lot of stolen bases on a really bad White Sox team. Jerry Don Gleaton

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) No, it simply isn't. The point of debating is to argue the issues and elements. Nothing is gained by stating "your argument sucks." And if that is perfectly acceptable, then wonderful. The level of discourse here will only improve if that becomes a widespread habit. So what level of discourse does calling a guy in a video a retard accomplish? Again, use your own standards.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) No, it's not. I did not respond to his post here. I was commenting on an outside source, and the manner in which he was holding a glass in a YouTube video. It's not even close to the same thing. Secondly, you are so obviously targeting me because you have nothing better to do. I don't bother with you or your posts, and yet you are obsessed with mine. It is obviously some personal mission of yours. Why don't you just let the other admins address any issues they might have with my interpretation of the rules and put your personal feelings aside. No, I replied because, again, you are in the middle of another argument. I said days ago that this is exactly what would happen, and lo and behold it did.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 03:27 PM) I hope she wins the Republican nomination. Would put Texas into a "swing state" category. Public Policy Polling (D) 1/14-16/11; 892 likely voters, 3.3% margin of error Mode: Automated phone PPP release Texas 2012 President 48% Gingrich, 43% Obama 55% Huckabee, 39% Obama 47% Palin, 46% Obama 49% Romney, 42% Obama 45% Obama, 45% Perry That poll tells you exactly why Palin isn't a front runner for the GOP. If she can't poll higher than a dude from Arkansas in Texas she has no f***ing chance.
