BTW, I will take the Giants.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 06:01 AM) While I usually dislike unitaskers, especially in electronics, this is one where I'd want the best format and screen for reading, no compromises. Do they make one in bi-focal view?

QUOTE (G&T @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 07:53 AM) I am officially married. Awesome wedding in Bar Harbor, Maine. Congrats!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 07:17 AM) fans of tyler perry movies will find no such friends. There are plenty of chicks out there...

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 08:33 AM) More Carmello rumors, per Yahoo sports: So the next question becomes, how do the BUlls and Knicks match up with Denver?

Is there interest out there for a survivor pool in the NFL? Pick one team to win every week. You can't re-use a team once you have picked them. Last person standing wins absolutely nothing. If people want to play, make a pick in this thread. If we get 10 or so, we will keep it going.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sale takes the Jack McDowell route, and we don't see him at the major league level until August or September of next year, but he comes back as a starter.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 07:02 PM) Hell, if they make the playoffs and we don't, I would like them to win it all. You won't be alone. Texas would actually be the first team I would root for, because I lived down there for a while, but the Twins would be my next pick. I can't muster the hate for them like I can Detroit and Cleveland. Minnesota is the model of how to do things right. How can I hate that?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 10:56 PM) You are telling ME to let it go when every thread turns into Thome? Ozzie? I will respond until I'm banned. I expect people to drop the Thome schtick as I was told to drop the Jenks talk. If they bring it up you expect me to ignore it just because I could give a s*** if Thome was on our team or not? It's old and we get it. Thome good; Kotsay/Jones bad. Oh wait, just Kotsay bad. Most people seem to like Jones. OK, seriously cut the "poor me" thing. You're the victim, we get it. Yawn.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 07:01 PM) You really hate Anderson, huh? Yeah, pretty much.

Sight seen: bumper sticker reading "I still remember Korea" on the back of a Hyundai.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 03:15 PM) Is that unexpected? Didn't they say like yesterday that he was getting an extra couple days for that hand? He said this morning he hoped to play today

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) cst_sox Lineup - Pierre, Vizquel, Rios, PK, Manny, Teahen, Jones, A.J., and Missile - Thome is not in the lineup - insert tears here. Still no Gordo. Dang.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) Because we had to make it worse to make you and your side happy. Even the things the Dems wanted, haven't done what they were supposed to. The irony is that if tax cuts don't work, why is Obama on TV asking for them?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 01:20 PM) Unless I use the explicit standard you used on the day it passed...the DJIA, in which case it's a rousing success. Or the change in monthly job losses. In which case it's a rousing success. It really is a fun game you guys got to play. Tell me how the stimulus was too big, too wasteful, how it needed to be more loaded with tax cuts, tell us how it isn't going to be out the door fast enough if it focuses on high-impact spending, carve out massively the aid to the states, pretend that no one was out there saying it wasn't big enough, and pretend that it didn't do basically exactly what you'd expect for too small of a package, and then tell us how it failed. lol @ the "standard" I set. That might be one of the biggest lies you have ever told on here. I have ALWAYS said the stock market is a measure of future expectations. All of those tax credits, such as housing, and directed spending plans, and shovel ready projects have done nothing to put the private sector back on to its feet, because we are right back here again, looking for another plan. The housing market is still dead. No one is still lending. The private sector is still languishing. It failed.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) And I also remember being told that it would result in rampant inflation and that we'd be paying interest rates through the roof. And i also remember you telling me that the 300 point stock market drop on the day it passed was entirely due to the Stimulus's passage (the DJIA of course is up >3000 points/40% since then). Guess what all of that means... The stimulus failed.

Honestly, this is probably more about his wife than anything.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 12:45 PM) You bolded it but obviously missed it, because I already added the qualifier in anticipation of your response. I seem to remember being told that it was large enough last time around. That it should result in 8% unemployment...

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 07:20 PM) Ha, I could only have imagined what would have happened if Anderson went to a team and hurt the Sox. Brian Anderson already killed this team enough while he was here.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 02:21 AM) Detroit sucks.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) I was just curious if anyone here had ever gone to rallies or things like that. You go to socialist rallies huh? Are you gonna show up one day talking about the class war and workers losing their chains. I have gone to one. That was all I needed.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 11:06 AM) If Anderson had learned how to hit, I doubt the Sox would have claimed Rios and taken on his salary for another CF. They also would have never had the whole Nick Swisher cycle either.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 10:35 AM) Just curious when we'll see Sarah Palin, John Boehner, Rudy Guiliani and the other Burlington Coat Factory mosque panic pushers talk about how insensitive and inappropriate "International Burn a Koran Day" is. Or when the left wing will start talking about freedoms again...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 12:23 PM) FWIW, "Works great for about year" is exactly what it would take if the package was large enough to get things done. That's the WWII example; a very brief spurt of massive government spending/expansion of government debt and a huge stimulus as a result. I focus on things like roads, sewers, dams, rail lines, schools, explicitly because these things have been terribly neglected since "Have your tax cuts and your cake too" became the motto of one party a few decades ago. The electrical grid would fit in there nicely as well. That's what we were told when we had the last package pushed through. That hasn't exactly happened the way it was supposed to.
