I can't even remember a Sox Cubs day with less energy than this one.

Give me the late 60's and early 70's any day.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 10:37 AM) Why is there an absolute refusal to even TRY carlos in right field? Yes he's been injured. Dye and Podsednik are permanently injured in the fielding-brain. This isn't going to happen unless there is an emergency situation this year. You have got to imagine they want to give Carlos a spring training at least in RF since he hasn't played out there for two years now at least.

Yeah, if you get the #1 pitcher, you pretty much win the trade.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:47 AM) You don't have to sprint around the bases after you hit it out of the park. That, and the Sox don't have any type of left handed power in the lineup, and I imagine he's only going to sign with the White Sox or maybe Cleveland. If he doesn't get an offer from either, I think he hangs it up. If he would go back to Cleveland, that would be great for all of those young Indian players to learn from. Plus it would be kind of funny for those asshole fans to have to cheer for Jim again.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 03:32 AM) Or, they could have offered the old guys on waivers earlier and showcased Allen at 1b like Arizona is doing. It's not like Pena would have made much of a difference anyway; if they wanted to get him in the offseason, they could have. And listened to all of the "white flag" stuff? No thanks.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 03:17 PM) Pff. Tesla did this a century ago! I was totally going there...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) Or just let us all buy in to some other country's system. There is a way to do that...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) The wife and I have already decided to rent out our house (be that the one we currently own or any future purchase) to some crazy Europeans for those two weeks. You can make mad money doing such a thing. After paying for the repairs to your home after said renting (crazy Europeans, I tell ya) the net profit can be between $10-$15k! Given the fact we know inflation is going to rape us all in like three years, who knows what those figures could be! CRAZY EUROPEANS I TELL YA The dollar ought to be pretty worthless by then so get some Euros!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 07:37 PM) i dont know but if i had the money id buy up real estate in the south loop before this announcement and make straight cash homey if this thing goes through I'm sure all of Daley's buddies have already beaten you to it.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) Find a way to give every American the kind of care the Senators get for the same cost and you may have something. Nice stretch. More like find a way to make medical personnel work for military wages and you have something.

Ah yes, governmental regulatory oversight at its best. Put the Wolves in charge of guarding the lambs.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 05:31 PM) There's no doubt that he will be the starting SS in 2010 and I am guessing Beckham stays at 3B, but i see more of a chance for Beckham to move to another IF position than Alexei moving. I still wonder where Viciedo with his 39 errors is it fits in? Think Carlos Lee...

Happy Birthday Strange one!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) That's what I was thinking. This influx of cash to the city is going to make things a lot better. I don't see why anyone would be against the modernization of our city for a two week party. Hook it up! That's exactly it. The sad thing is that much of it won't get done without the Olympics.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 06:04 PM) No doubt we would not have re-signed him in 2010 If anything this move makes it easier, because we don't have to do the arbitration dance with him, plus there is zero chance the Dodgers offer it to him.

I hate it when people complain about random things...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 04:44 PM) And since the rest of the world has demonstrated repeatedly how much more efficient and how much better at cost control a public or even single-payer health care system is, you've clearly switched your argument to suddenly be in favor of socialized medicine as the only solution. Welcome to the party! Just because the mouthpieces flip flop to fit their arguments, doesn't mean I need to do it.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 02:55 PM) Note likely. First, history says that most metro areas that host an Olympics more or less break even when all is said and done - but the extra infrastructure, marketing and all else as aftereffects are a nice profit. Second, this isn't Daley's Olympics. He is running it. He'll have plenty of say, but he isn't managing, he isn't funding it, and a lot of the work to be done will be people NOT reporting to the City of Chicago or Cook County. I for one think that the sort term pain-in-the-ass factor is small compared to the long term gains we get out of it. Thank you.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) I don't think the stadium is closing. The Twins are just leaving. Either way, f*** that place. Who cares, blow it up anyway. Just to be safe...

Anyone else watch the bit on the members of the 500 homer club in the post game show? I about fell out of my seat laughing at Len Kaspers call of Sammy's 500th... "He just punched his ticket to Cooperstown!"

Finally.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) So do we wait for two outs or what. I don't wanna start early. Its time.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 02:24 PM) I wish someone made an ironing board for people taller than 5'6". They are all too short and not long enough for my pants. They don't because that is women's work... duh.
