Stupid stuff sucks anyway.

Quite picky

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 01:14 PM) I would like to know who the one guy was that didn't put Konerko in the top 10 and why he has a friggin' vote period. Hopefully it was a Toronto sportswriter as a payback for Cowley's stupid crap.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) I don't think its impossible they made an offer or at least had discussions. I do think its improbable that the offer was anything at that level. The offer was probably $16 million over three years, not $16 million a year for three years...

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 10:45 AM) 100 steals for Juan Pierre....vs Detroit I was thinking the same thing. Heck Quentin might have 10 steals next year.

Oh my those Chicagoans are hot dog snobs, not to mention wrong.

QUOTE (Cali @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) "Awww, Man!" Jorge Garcia needs to come back again... They couldn't have wrote his part any better than they did last night.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 11:16 AM) We aren't? Well it isn't this one. She can't be the roommate that Ted just missed seeing, because she is already married and living with the absent husband.

Maybe leaving ketchup off of the duck is a good idea, just don't leave it off of the hot dog.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) Also adding here, you contradicted yourself. You pointed out the government action that prompted unnatural traffic in home buying... about a year ago. So, to no one's surprise, the YOY trend will look worse a year out, because of the unusually strong performance a year back. So the YOY trend actually tells you nothing of use. And it pretty well mirrors the drop after expiration of the tax credit.

With all of the social programs we have, and the financial situations they are in, this might be one of the biggest financial bombs out there. This is literally a trillions of dollars question.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 05:56 AM) With Palin's experience with Russia and Perry and Mexico, what an experienced foreign policy team I'm going to starting calling you Kim Jung Il. Just when things get quiet, you come in, throw a few bombs, and then fade back to see what happens.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 09:34 AM) The article that was referenced in the MLBTR post about the signing said he turned down 48/3 from us to take 50/4 from Detroit... Makes no sense if true. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/11/tige...r-martinez.html That is just crazy. If we are going to offer that contract to anyone, I'd rather see it be Dunn than Martinez.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 10:01 AM) That's the problem here. If you've been to a rally, you know the message, and just because Palin or O'Donnell or whatever has jumped onto the bandwagon (and the hater-media has jumped onto them jumping on the bandwagon) the message has gotten lost. That doesn't devalue the message, or require that the original supporters explain themselves. It requires people educate themselves and not rely on the moronic media to tell them about it. And to remember the quote about repeating something a bunch of times not actually making it true.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 10:16 AM) 3Q GDP change revised up to 2.5% from 2%. October home sales dropped 2.2%, but that was expected after a ridiculous 10% gain last month. People in the sector seem to be feeling more confident that activity is reliably off from the bottom now, and see a strengthening 2011. A 1% drop in home prices to according to CNBC. That really isn't bad. The market has to put in a bottom sooner or later, and if are at a 1% loss, it looks like we might be there.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 09:16 AM) That episode was epic. It was legen....

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 09:02 AM) His post was a response to mine and you piggybacked off what he said. I'm just starting to get tired of getting lumped into the dismissals like that (not just here, on Slate or wherever else I go). Like I'm not qualified to understand things or interpret things on my own because I don't agree with the ideology. It isn't about ideology. It is about being there versus not being there and depending on someone else to talk about what happened.

Never in a million years... Because if I had to meet her dad, I would probably go to jail for a hate crime.

Funny, I should be doing other things...

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Nov 22, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) lol at the Heat, that is all QFT

Dude

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 08:29 AM) But you're talking about millions of people across the country over a sustained period of time, not just yourself. Actually I am speaking for an entire county's movement. Both events I went to, no one talked about race, or religion, or sex. It was all about money.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 08:27 AM) Or NK is tired of having the world respond to their nuclear stuff with a collective yawn. More likely they are running out of oil and food again, and are looking for someone to bribe them again to stop.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 08:11 AM) I'm guessing we didn't hear much about it from them for multiple reasons... 1. They quickly became the minority in their own movement, so they were drowned out 2. The media didn't find that story nearly as interesting as making it out to be some kind of revolution, which is way sexier. Now its way sexier to find division in said movement. 3. These libertarian types probably were happy to use the co-opting to get their folks in office in some places, but now they want to make sure they get what they wanted out of them. 1 is true. 2 is only kinda true. It became more sexy as a story for the media because they now got to demonize the right wing that they love going after so much. We got to hear all of the stories about the racism and everything else that makes for big attention. 3. isn't true at all. Libertarians have never cared about selling out to get victories. If they really felt that way, they would be in one of the major parties already. I can tell you for a fact the early tea party movement excited people because it encapsulated the small government movement without being polluted by all of the social hang ups that en company the closest economic party to the Libertarians. I know I will probably get corrected here, but I am speaking as probably the only person on Soxtalk who actually worked with a person who founded a Tea Party movement at a county level, and as someone who attended and spoke at one of these early rallies.

X times at least, I have ended up with X
