Capitalism: A Love Story
QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 11:02 AM) So if I pay my neighbor's kid $5 to mow my lawn I should be able to take out a million dollar policy on that kid. I would imagine you would have a pretty hard time not only making the payments, but finding a company that would be willing to underwrite a million dollars worth of risk based on the value of your yard being mowed. What exactly is your household worth?

We Should Sign Nick Johnson
QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 11:14 AM) It's probably the right move, but just like trading Jenks last year, it would be crushed by the Loyalist opposition This is probably a sign that you are a little too involved...

Official 2009-2010 NFL Thread
QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 09:00 AM) The AstroDome is still having issues post-NFL football as well. They were going to convert it into a hotel, but those plans fell through and now some are looking at it s a movie production venue. I vote indoor theme park for either of those. If it hasn't closed, there is a themepark pretty much across the street from the Astrodome anyway.

We Should Sign Nick Johnson
What do people think Johnson will be signed for? He made $5.5 million last year.

Thome wants to return to Chicago
QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 11, 2009 -> 11:57 PM) We really need to stop counting on Abreu for anything. There is absolutely no way, that if he somehow escapes the Angels' clutches, that he's going to be doing it to sign with the White Sox. And the further into the playoffs the Angels go, the less chance there is they let Abreu get away. There is a really, really good chance that ship has already sailed.

FutureSox Post-Season Top Prospects List
QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 11, 2009 -> 10:44 PM) Is that a comparison to who Morel could be like? Also, I'd rank Hudson #1 and Flowers #2, but thats just because for some reason I can't explain, I have a feeling Flowers won't exactly be a stud, while I think Hudson will. He sounds pretty Joe Crede like with the glove to me. I haven't seen the guy, so I don't know.

Capitalism: A Love Story
QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 08:45 AM) Sure I am. If my neighbor takes poor care of his house and lot it brings down the value of my home. How much are you paying your neighbor a year?

Capitalism: A Love Story
QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 07:28 AM) I'm not ok with it. Why can't I get a policy on my neighbor, hoping that he dies? What gives these corporations a right to do this? You aren't financially invested in your neighbors life.

Fall of '09 television thread
QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 11, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) Hmmm, hope they replay it. Would set the DVR Yup, re-running at midnight. Thanks The footage is just incredible. Listening to the reports and the reactions as it happened, with no narration or modern thought really makes it feel different.

What do you expect? It isn't like the Twins are playing the White Sox.

Fall of '09 television thread
For anyone who isn't watching football or baseball, the History Channel is running a show called JFK, Three Shots that Changed America. They are using all kinds of original footage and audio, which is really impressive. I have never seen most of this stuff before.

**Official Twins vs. Yankees Thread**
QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Oct 10, 2009 -> 10:00 AM) Mauers ball actually hits the LF's glove, bounces fair and into the stand. The ump is like 15 feet away and calls it foul. insane but the Twins had bases loaded and 0 outs and could score. embarrassing. 2 first pitch swings and the hits go a total of 100 feet, when all you need is a fly ball and get the run home. What sucks donkey balls (for me at least) is that A-Rod and Tex beat the Twins...again...for about the 175th time. I f*^(&*g hate those 2 players. If the Yanks advance, look for A-Rod to go back to his 'unclutch' ways. He is only 'clutch' during the Twins series When did the Twins learn how to play White Sox baseball?

Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize
QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 10, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) Meh the first one was a manufactured non-story from the right, as are any other trivial stories that have a remote chance of making Obama look bad. If the rest of the media picked up on that it's just because they're lazy. Bulls***. Why would would the right let Obama off of the hook by saying Bush was to blame for the failure to get the Olympics?

**Official Cardinals vs. Dodgers Thread**
QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 10, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) Kaplan is an idiot...it's amazing just how ignorant many Cubs fans are,do they really believe that Cards fans are "jealous of the Cubs and their great fans"? Yeah,I'm sure Cards fans are really jealous of a crappy organization known for it's futility year in and year out,gimme a break. 101 years of suckdom with a bleak immediate future,lol World titles in 2006, 1982, 1967, 1964, 1946, 1944, 1942, 1934, 1931, and 1926, and it is the Cardinals who are jealous?
