QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 08:34 AM) Unfortunately...this is a problem in basically every urban area. There just isn't the money in those systems to fix them. It doesn't help when you hire a career beaurcrat from the CTA to run the CPS who runs off all of the people who have any classroom experience... All though Michigan City now owes Huberman some thanks for that.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 11:42 AM) So if that's the stance to take... how do you do anything at all that costs money? If you were in Congress, or the executive branch, what would be your recommendation for trying to budget anything? You do it for historical multiples of what we are told, just like we always have. Honestly, I think it is as great of a reason as any that there should be a whole lot less federal government in this country. If I were in federal government it would be justification number one for cuts of extremely inefficient departments

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 11:36 AM) That's because the Bush administration threatened to fire the guys who were putting together more accurate estimates. Can you allege the same thing at the CBO in this round? Judging by the history of governmental programs? Absolutely. I would honestly assume they were wrong until proven otherwise.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) But when you cover 30 million extra people at a 1% cost increase...you've decreased the cost per person by 28%. I'd be curious the last time that a major governmental program was institued that actually came anywhere near its projecting. The last major expansion of medicare was blowing out projecting in a couple of years.

HAWKS WIN!!!

Hit the empty net here and let's get ready for the Canucks.

Another nice kill... 9 minutes, come on guys.

Andruw Jones

3rd PK in a row...

Two really nice SH chances.

Seabrook stepped in front of a Webber shot. Ouch.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) if we don't win this one tonight, remember this failed 4 minute powerplay. And all of the ones they missed on before it. You just have to hope that the officials don't even up the PP chances in the 3rd.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 04:22 PM) He was always around the 91-92 range on average with the Twins, jumping to 93.1 in 2006. Since joining the Mets, his velocity has gone from 91.2 in 08 to 90.5 last year to 89.7 this year. You really have to wonder if another surgery is in his near future.

How do you give up a 2 on 1 with 6 men on the ice?

22 shots, 7 goals, in a period. You would think this was the all-star game with the amount of defense being played out there.

Well that was an effective PP... 7 seconds.

Damn.

SWEEP THE LEG!@

Wow, now that is a softie.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) who said that? I know I have said it. Alexei's baseball IQ is nil as far as I am concerned. He takes off way too many plays mentally, and makes the wrong choice all too often as well.

They said in the pregame show that Kanes goal at the end of Game 5 was the first time in NHL playoff history that a team scored shorthanded in the last minute of a game to tie it up.

I wouldn't have guessed Richards and Danks were so close to each other.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) Exactly. No wonder the sox agreed to it. Gotta have more profits to not spend on the team afterall...
