About that much...

QUOTE (zenryan @ Nov 14, 2010 -> 03:08 PM) Jacksonville just won on a hail mary against Houston. Houston is a letdown every season. That play was crazy. The defender literally swatted it down with two hands... straight to the Jags receiver waiting for the ball.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 14, 2010 -> 03:15 PM) Both. It really took off in 2008, you can see from his tax returns, the book sales made him a millionaire. His wifes income really spiked with the Congressional run. They were millionaires before the book.

You won't catch me in any forum that deals with diets.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 14, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) Free publicity which also turns into $$. Obama wasn't rich personally before he started running for president and his book sales really took off. If by running for President, you meant ran for Congress, than I agree with you.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 11, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) I think it'd be dumb to develop a guy for two years, then trade him, but that's just me. As far as him being a mental midget ... I think we nitpick on here sometimes regarding our own players. It seems to me there aren't many better second baseman prospects than Beckham. I guess if he sucked next season, maybe he's another Alex Gordon bust, but it seems to me you don't go trading guys that you develop, guys who have shown signs of brilliance like Beckham. Brandon McCarthy saids hi, and can I have a contract?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 14, 2010 -> 09:18 AM) Yea... Sarah Palin's another example (God forbid she makes it). I just don't really like it. Rick Perry just released a book too. Basically, I think anyone who has a book out in the past is a candidate now. I'm going with the opposite, anyone who wants to be a candidate writes a book for the free publicitiy.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 14, 2010 -> 08:45 AM) The whole banking thing has gotten messy. It is very easy, and I believe correct, to say no pay, no home. However, when we got in the business of helping the banks, they lost some of their absolute rights. Now we are brokering deals somewhere inbetween live in the house without paying and the banks taking homes where the homeowner is partially behind. Suchs, but that is the new cards that are being dealt. So what is best for society? Banks with homes and people without? People with "free homes" and banks shuttered? We're trying to find something in the middle, maybe we will. There will be mistakes on both sides, we have to live with that. Banks haven't had "absolute rights" for about 5 generations now.

So little fun is counting calories, I decided against it.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) I thought either John Danks or Floyd was part of the package offered to get Cabrera..........not sure if we would deem that worth it or not, but after the season that Cabrera had this year.......plus you would have had to take Dontrelle Willis and that monster contract..... I think it was De Los Santos or Gio.

Its really expensive and not very kid friendly

You have got to beat Nashville for christs sake.

Good to see that it wasn't Walkers fault.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) You think KW didn't try? He was super-close to getting him, until Detroit swooped in at the last minute with the offer the Sox couldn't top.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 05:27 PM) So not a single quote from KW in that article? The author just making his own observations/predictions? Yawn. Kenny wouldn't answer that question anyway. I'm sure it has been asked and dually ignored.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 04:55 PM) I love this guy. Every article so far that I've read, has been excellent. He is like Joe Cowley's intelligent, insightful, funny, and smart twin.

Egomaniacs only live to point out faults

Wisconsons basketball team won't score that many points against Indiana...

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) Let's reverse the liberal/conservative ratio in here and then bring up one of Obama's books and see how unpredictable that is? It would be extremely predictable. The big difference between the two threads would be the complete handjob given to Obama over anything he writes. There was none of that here.

Aha

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 01:34 PM) Cameron Maybin being shopped around. He would be an interesting pick up. With Miller going out, and Maybin being shopped, its time to say that the Marlins blew that Cabrera deal.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 12:41 PM) Was Sergio Santos a project? A guy who had never pitched in professional baseball before would be classified as a project.

QUOTE (Felix @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 10:08 AM) Second time in Twolves history a player has scored 35+ points in back to back games. Only the 15th time in team history that two players have scored 30+ in the same game. Beasley was the man down the stretch. He wanted the ball, wanted to take the shots, and he nailed them. These last two games have been amazing for him, and really a great look at the type of player he could become with more consistency. It was noticed. Trust me Beasley seems like the kind of player that will be fine as long as there isn't any pressure. Give him another star or two to play with, and keep him out of places like NYC and he should be a good player.
