A drunken night would ensue if you tried 250 beers.

XL summers ago would have been only 40

Really a ton of them live in Indiana

My are we excited about Seattle or what?

King County one of your destinations?

Great northwest? What's so great about it?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 7, 2010 -> 08:33 AM) Meh. You have no say in Illinois politics since you don't live here. I pay taxes there, actually more than I do to Indiana.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Nov 7, 2010 -> 08:20 AM) We have improved a bit since firing Shaffer and promoting Laumann. Three guys have already had success at the major league level (Beckham, Hudson, Sale), another is ready for full-time spot this year (Morel), and a top CF prospect (Mitchell). That's actually a pretty solid point. We know Shafer had, well lets say, other motivations. Things really seem to be improving now in terms of drafting and development. The cupboard looks bare, but part of that is because guys that would have been massive prospects are already here, like Beckham and Sale.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 7, 2010 -> 07:22 AM) So the only way to acquire players is through FA? If your hopes are the Sox will fill holes with high priced free agents, you haven't been paying attention for years. The last time they gave another team's FA more than 20 million was 14 years ago. In the immediate terms, it is the quickest way, especially if people are serious about wanting to rebuild the farm system you were complaining about in another thread.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. We haven't heard anything about talks during this time period, which can't be good.

After it took two days to declare a winner, I don't want to see anyone complain about the Republicans calling this election a mandate. This from the worst governor in the entire country. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-11...e-tax-pat-quinn

Signs

Eventually I will be abandoning the lake effect belt for greener pastures.

Nice win. Though there were more Hawks fans there than Thrashers fans.

Z named hurricanes are still a possibility down there, I'd watch tempting fate if I were you.

Its never a good sign when the coach closes down practice early in the morning because of lack of intensity, and then they play like this.

XTC is what you would have to be on to think that.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 6, 2010 -> 07:00 PM) Yep exactly, and the Bulls are probably around a .500 team without Boozer I would say talent wise. And they're a notoriously slow starting team as well. I think you'll see the best of them post ASB for sure. With as many new players, plus a new coach, a slow start is almost to be expected, let alone missing a guy like Boozer.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 6, 2010 -> 06:54 PM) Eventually go, the Bulls are going to have to upgrade at the 2, because teams may start double teaming Rose as they did with Wade pre Big 3, and they'll need whoever the SG is to knock down open perimeter looks and provide real solid defense, and I don't think Bogans is that man for sure, Brewer maybe over time. And if there's a weak link on your team, come playoff time, other teams will exploit it (look at Matt Barnes in the series againsr Boston last playoffs for example). But people need to stop having a go at Thibodeau as well. He's only been coaching for 5 games and people are already having a go at his team defense etc. without one of their top 2 players not playing. At least give him half a season to really put his imprint on this team. It is WAY to early to start blaming a coach for anything. There probably isn't a guy on that team who actually understands the schemes yet.
