Once upon a time I spent three years living in Webster, the other side of I-45 from the JSC. I had classmates whose parents were astronauts.

Understood

Might this be turning into the random attachment thread?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) I think he's too much of a bulldog and too talented to trade. I do think the Sox will at least consider trading Floyd. He's still probably a guy some team will think could be the guy he is in June and July the last couple of years , for a whole season. That would fetch a lot. If he had another year like the last 2, he probably would just be considered a guy with about a .500 record and and ERA around 4.00. You run the risk of him be outstanding all the time, but you get talent back for that. He's kind of like a younger Javy Vazquez. At the end of the day, the numbers usually don't match the talent. His 2 months in the middle of the season make you wonder how he ends up around .500 with an ERA of 4.00. And for those reasons Danks would fetch a s***load more than Floyd. If you can recognize that, it is obvious to the rest of MLB as well.

Exactly

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 06:35 PM) Wade's got a ring, even if the refs helped with that one That ring is irrelevant now after the ego show those three put on in the off season.

b****es usually don't let you get to second base, and the Bears sure didn't have their hands on anyone long enough to be considered getting to second base... maybe the comparison is more apt than I though.

You would know.

Wimpy finite points make this thread boring.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) Incredible photo of a Tiger Woods shot. Actually hit the guy's camera. OK the second guy from the right can't be serious.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 01:16 PM) What player would you recommend removing based on his failure to perform this year? John Danks? Gavin Floyd? Paul Konerko? Matt Thornton? Don't just say "there's no accountability amongst the players!", you have to say who you want gone and how dumping that player would make us better. I have been saying for a while I wouldn't be surprised if John Danks has thrown his last pitch on the southside. I wouldn't be surprised if Kenny went to John and Edwin to see about extensions, and then dealt the one of them that he felt least secure about keeping. Danks especially could bring a kings ransom to help rebuild this team on the fly, and if Peavy is on schedule, he would be easily replaced in the rotation, with Chris Sale still to spare.

Lame.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 12:46 PM) What I'm saying is that they'll cut meaningless guys. They'll get rid of players like Kotsay and Jenks, the no-brainers. As opposed to getting rid of the meaningful guys? I am confused.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) Why don't we crawl before we walk? That's a good point about KC--forget the Twins, who exactly were we beating this year besides Boston? Example: our record against KC was 7-8. People are wondering why we can't beat the Twins yet we had a losing record to basement dweller KC? I'd start there... We were 10-8 vs KC this year.

We were 5-13 against the Twins. The entire team failed, from top to bottom.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 11:40 AM) I have no idea why the GM of a team would give you a rooting interest. It would have absolutely no effect on me rooting for anything. I don't know about you, but the Opera singing hotdog vendor in Detroit sure helps me hate them.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 11:20 AM) "Being the laughing stock of the NBA" doesn't seem to bother him. I doubt it will bother him too much either honestly.

Say thank you to a teacher if you can read this! http://www.5oct.org/index.php/en/index

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 07:33 AM) But he no longer has the "If I win a title here it'll be harder for me to leave, so I ought to just quit" thing going for him. He has to win a title this year, or he will be the laughing stock of the NBA. Same with Bosh and Wade.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 04:47 PM) Now replace "fire department" with "Health insurance". Or over-draft protection...

Extra pink on the NFL uniforms this weekend got me wondering if the Bears O-line thought it would be sexual harassment to touch the people across from them during the Giants game...

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) Not quite that sure yet. As it stands right now, I feel the Lakers will tear them apart in the paint. That Boston team didn't have anywhere near the separation from the rest of the NBA that the Heat does. Honestly it is a real possibility that even if one of the three got hurt, they could still win it all.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 05:44 PM) what if the heat struggles with chemistry and rhythm right out of the game, or if wade goes down. If they lose 10 of the first 25-30 games or so, ESPN would have to shamefully take that section down. what a shame on those bastards. Plenty of people believed the same kind of stuff when Boston brought in Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. I hate that team, but there is no one who can touch them barring something insane. They will win the NBA title this year.
