King of kings is a pretty nice position to have

It sent you. That is present enough

God was the original Santa Claus

SI_JonHeyman konerko has drawn significant interest from the #orioles. but an acquaintance opined: "he's not going to go to baltimore.''

Eventually, but not always

Changing topics again?

YOU CHANGED THE SUBJECT AGAIN!

True fact. Michigan City Indiana would be the fifth largest city in Qatar. It doesn't even rank in the top 10 of Indiana...

Wait a minute, we can't change subjects in mid-subject.

Unlikely. Changing the subject is the subject.

Now it will be interesting to see what Kenny does at 1B.

Quitters change the subject

Now you did...

Lots of kid stories I could tell, but I won't bore everyone to death with how awesome my kids are.

Its not my problem

God damn, that is a pretty harsh reaction. Its not like I forwarded you the pictures.

Excuse me for sharing

Creepy indeed, especially Tex's bikini shots.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 08:50 AM) If the Senate spent every moment of its next 2 terms (aka through Jan 2015) confirming currently nominated individuals, it still wouldn't confirm them all, now that the "every nominee must be discussed for 30 hours" standard is being used as a weapon. My favorite part of that is the Senate having as many work days in 4 years as normal people have in about 2.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 08:59 AM) No. There's been zero talk of doing that. Though years back when the Sox talked of trading Dye for Edwin, the rumor was the Sox liked him as a closer.

Mark today as the day that the Jenks fan club starts again.

That song sucks

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) Wait, loaning someone 70 grand (who you expect to easily pay this loan back) is now a form of human slavery? Seriously lets turn the narrative down just a bit. Hell I would MAYBE even consider one of the opposing arguments above if Boras had ever done anything that was dishonest in his career. He hasn't, nor would he because of the possible damage to his reputation (and thus, loss of clients). And why would Boras loan a kid 70 grand if he didn't think he could pay it back? Boras shoulders the risk: If the player succeeds, he pays it back, and if he fails, Boras loses his money. If anything, it increases (very marginally) Boras' incentive to help the player succeed. If you want to discuss human slavery, look no further than the NCAA. But you won't find any in this thread. Great sidebar, if anyone had actually excused the NCAA for anything. It has more to do with having your financial situation dependent on the same person who is negotiating your contract. And don't give me this crap about Boras being honest. He lies to people and teams all of the time. It is documented all over the place with mythical offers coming from one and the like. Hell he flat out lied to the White Sox about Magglio Ordonez not having had any surgery when they snuck Maggs off to Europe to get him operated on in secret. He's a crook. The idea that he would exploit kids for a few bucks makes perfect sense.

Right if they were real men, they could get me new eyes.
