QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 10:25 AM) I fail to see how drafting a sucky minor league bench player unrelated to a member of the Sox organization instead of drafting a sucky minor league bench player who is related to a member of the Sox organization makes us a better, more successful organization. From the sounds of it, Lee Fischer was that guy this year.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 11:16 AM) I'll take a wild guess before I research it... is it the BMV in Mexico? If you really want to know, I won't spoil it for those who don't. I'll white type it... This quarter the US broader markets are down only 5%, which is the best preformance in the world. Places like Norway, Russia, and Brazil are all down 35% OR MORE, this quarter.

Here is the pop quiz portion of our show... What is the best preforming stock market out of the major world markets YTD?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 09:56 AM) All Kaperbole ™ aside, I think that this is a much bigger issue of the structure of government being set up in the 1930's and not significantly changed since. You do have to have certain regulations in place - of course. But, many sides of this fence don't talk to each other and there are too many inconsistencies in the marketplace which allows for the manipulation you see today. I have said many times that the regulation of the financial sector are a joke.

QUOTE (mreye @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 10:19 AM) Well, I guess this as good a time as any. Speaking of kids, we're expecting number 4 in March. Say a prayer that this will be a boy. Congrats big man

84-68 +1.5 games over MN

QUOTE (mreye @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 01:33 PM) The shutdown of '95. Government works best when it's not working at all. I was going to say that when I saw the title of the thread. Thanks for beating me to it.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 02:33 PM) The DOW was up over 400 points today (410 as of right now) at the closing bell. How the hell did that happen? Not at all. My fantasy about Congress leaving quickly didn't happen. They decided they were going to re-form an organization with its basis in the S&L mess that will buy and resell this worthless crap that is killing all of these companies right now. In case you are wondering, that mess only cost taxpayers $125 billion. Use a little inflation and multiplier, mix in all of the bailouts, and my silly little prediction of a trillion dollars is looking more and more likely.

QUOTE (Steff @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 05:56 PM) Look in the mirror much??? Yep.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 10:37 AM) Quite frankly, I disagree. We have a solid closer, a lot of power in the lineup, and at least 4 currently average or better starters, 2 of whom are quite young and have the sky as their limit at this point. And we have a freaking deity patrolling LF when he's healthy. You can argue over a lot of things, but talent-wise, with those key guys...this team is certainly above .500 if everyone is there. I think the big point is that going into the season, who besides Kenny Williams, actually saw the White Sox that way?

10 games left, not including the Tigers rain out.

So how do you think people feel about dropping all of that money on all of those nice new Fukodome jersey's now?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 12:57 PM) So you are equating a campaign misstep with deciding not to have an actress with a terrible reputation be a voice for your campaign? Seriously, if you don't get it, you don't want to get it. That's fine.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 12:54 PM) Right. And I'm sure if his campaign decided to have Lohan in the forefront you'd complain that she is a terrible example to children across America and he has poor family values and judgment. Why not, I get to read everyday about all of McCains missteps of the same vein. Has it stopped you and AHB from doing the exact samething?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 12:53 PM) Actually it isn't even outrage. Its just a statement. There are much better things to be outraged about. Obama turning his back on more people doesn't really surprise me anymore. And as for the petty part, after reading the stuff that is posted and said by a couple of people, including yourself here daily, there really isn't much room to talk.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 12:47 PM) And spare the fake outrage. This is very petty even for you. Actually it isn't even outrage. Its just a statement. There are much better things to be outraged about. Obama turning his back on more people doesn't really surprise me anymore.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) You're seriously surprised the Obama campaign would like to steer clear from Lindsey Lohan? GMAB Using something he did as a reason? That's pretty two faced.

Next insult is getting suspended. You guys know the rules around here...

The same Barack Obama who admitted to expirementing with Cocaine and Marijuana is turning down Lohan because of her wild ways? Wow.

The sad thing is that after seeing what they have done so far, I am rooting for them to all go home. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=was...id=aVPBaUbYV_qQ

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 10:01 AM) They do. She has an official Alaska state e-mal address. But the worry of some people is that Palin was using her personal account to go around the legal requirement that all government e-mail be kept and on publci record. This is the best way I have heard it described: "Accounts suggest Anonymous was acting in response to reports that Palin took a page from Karl Rove and illegally used her personal e-mail account(s) to keep state business out of the public record." I just read yesterday that Bill Clinton sent two emails from his official address while in office, and one was a test. No one uses their official email from the sound of it.

Their bullpen would have to step up first...
