QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 11:24 PM) Good article on Joe Alexander. I really liked him in college, hope he turns it around. http://blogs.bulls.com/chicago_bulls_blog/...s-way-back.html How awesome would it be if one of Alexander or Law somehow found their potential at a very low wage for the Bulls?

Happy Birthday Steve

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 05:38 PM) You'd have been more pissed when the guy 100 rows down screwed up plugging in that lamp and burned the whole place to the ground. Now the entire City is pissed because their contract priced people into places like Orlando and Las Vegas.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 08:10 AM) He wasn't trying to signal anyone, just f with Jack's mind. Exactly. It was all a game to push Jack along. It also makes sense that he doesn't want more people to come to the island with the bad guy now in charge and the protection of Jacob gone.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 06:53 PM) I think the past 10 years the only White Sox pitcher who was considered to be a flamethrower I ever saw that actually threw as hard as advertised was Jenks, although Clayton Richard may qualify as he threw pretty hard but it really wasn't advertised all that much. Matt Thornton has been everything he was said that he could be, and more.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 10:15 PM) Yeah, that's really f***ing odd. This snowfall will probably put us at something like 75 or 80 inches this season. We've had more snow than Buffalo. We are at about half of that. And we can get three feet of snow in a day.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Christian told him all his life he didn't have what it takes... It just hit me. Wasn't that what Jacob told him after he screwed up that surgery and Jack's dad had to take over?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) Yeah pretty much everybody's had way more snow than normal this year all over the country. Except for us... in the Lake Effect belt. We haven't had much at all this year. One bad week, that is pretty much it, except we are looking at maybe getting a foot tomorrow.

Wow. Those are some winds!

QUOTE (SnB @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) any idea what "you've got what it takes" is referring to? Was it something that Christian said to Jack?

Uh, oh. Seven years bad luck.

David? Wow. I am interested. Another biblical name.

Way too much emphasis gets put on to numbers in the minor league system. There, I said it.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 12:59 PM) I envision the words coming out of his mouth in green . . . I always see it with Borass's hand up his ass like a puppet, but either way works!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 10:23 PM) I always thought about that. Like if I was Bill Gates, and was a big sports fan. I would be like "Here ya go, take this $2M and get this guy". I mean, Gates makes millions of dollars a week. I wonder if there are any rules against this. It would be easy to do. Just pay him to be a pitchman for your product.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 09:23 AM) Phil Rogers take on it, doubts how close it was to actually happening. I think we could have found the prospects to trade, but no way we do it for a one-year rental and we weren't gonna re-sign him to an extension either. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...r-halladay.html I'm betting money that the deal didn't happen not because of who Kenny offered, but because they couldn't find anyone to take one of our big salaries (PK I am looking at you) to free up the needed cash.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 11:20 AM) Career ERA of 4.70 in 222 innings To be fair, a lot of that came when the Indians actually had an offense.

I wonder how long Borass had this speech written with the team's name being a fill in the blank spot?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 11:46 AM) Daley now floating the idea of privatizing McCormick Place operations. I like this idea as well, and unlike the parking meter situation, this would actually decrease costs to users, as well as get city government out of something it doesn't do well. And, would probably bring more conventions, and more tourism dollars, to the city. McPier is a city/state joint venture, so the state would also have to sign onto the idea. I'd think they would jump at the chance. I think that would also destroy all of the incredible union costs and contracts that make the place a moneypit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 11:49 AM) The article about James makes no sense. He won't go to the Heat because both him and Wade would want to dominate the ball. I'm sure that's true, but why would he come to Chicago where we have one of the best point guards in the league? Rose isn't a ballhog. In fact he is the opposite. Even on a team with no real natural scorers, he is too giving with the ball.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 08:13 PM) Yeah I was wondering. The 7 years thing comes from bankruptcy, stuff like late fees only stays on for 2 years. I got the years backwards. Bankruptcy is 10 years, negative reporting is 7. http://www.creditinfocenter.com/creditreports/cr_time.shtml

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 07:58 PM) Ok, perhaps. I guess I didn't ask for people to psychoanalyze my girlfriend though. I would prefer advice on what I should do now. Well to be fair, her issues are pretty important to how you should react to a specific situation. It can change the answers given, that is for sure.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 07:52 PM) If you owe someone a significant debt (e.g. $1100) and the person you owe the money to closes the account, and you just don't pay for 7 years, does it still affect your credit or does it just go away? I think it can stay on for 10 years.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 05:43 PM) Not if you believe current polling and if nothing changes before Nov. If things go as they are now, there are legit projections that the Dems will lose the House and be lucky to retain 51 seats in the Senate. Honestly the Dems not being able to get together is starting to put a hole into the old "It's all Bush's fault" excuse machine.
