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.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) Does anyone on here consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement? I have actually spoke at a Tea Party rally, though it is hard to say you are a part of the movement since it is something else to each person. Then again I have been to rallies for just about everything, including a socialist rally, a labor rally, an immigrant rally, and many others.

Well this was interesting if nothing else.... http://www.suntimes.com/news/blogentries/i...opuz5STgLeVwBLu

I heard Andy Shaw say something I thought was perfect. He likened Daley to a baseball hitter going to the Hall of Famer, but going there with an asterisk next to his name because of steroid allegations.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 04:26 PM) That kid was in most of my classes that year. In fact, I knew half the kids at that party and arrested at that party. I never did hear what happened to him. Did he end up recovering OK?

The injury run of the last couple of months is just unbelievable.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) Who is the picture underneath? Joe Cowley.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) How old is his son/how long would they have to wait for him? Patrick is somewhere around 35 years old now. Crazy, but I remember the party he had busted up at his dads place in New Buffalo, where one of his buddies used a bat to crush the skull of a kid from City.

So when do the indictments happen?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 10:09 AM) 191 outs given up. This is the equal to 27 out of 31 for Bobby Jenks.

Hammer time?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 08:58 AM) Better to call the GOP's bluff. They have complained this stimulus spending does nothing to grow private business, well, give them one that does that. Make them stick to their guns. Construction spending on infrastructure was a big part of the stimulus the first time. That really has done nothing to get the private sector going.

Hey Tex, Kap, how's the weather?

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 04:43 PM) Kotsay and Santos over Thome. That actually is a good point. Even if Thome came back, you still had to have Kotsay on the roster, because you need someone who can play 1B. You also still had to have Andruw on the team, because you need someone who can play CF. Thome on the team would have most likely meant no Santos.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 12:11 PM) Just a quick reminder to everyone who s***s on unions and the organized labor movement. If it wasn't for them, you'd be at work today. Nope.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 11:44 AM) This lineup today is disgusting. The ENTIRE TEAM just had two days off in a row! They also just played three close games in 24 hours, and made a flight to make it for another day game.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 09:53 AM) ahh gotta love some mark kotsay Who else should play 1st?

Happy Birthday Sexy Rexy
