QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:23 AM) Nice win.....but Aldaron says the thread should be locked. the lock is wrong b****!

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) I was the MVP. And I expect to hit third again. Or leadoff. That was a pitching preformance to remember, that was for sure

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) ok, now I just may have to show up so I can get back to back MVP awards... You all know my triple was the game breaker... I don't think the "P" means what you think it means

QUOTE (The Critic @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:03 PM) So, is this game a rematch again? I saw a thread on WSI recruiting players for the July 19th rematch with Soxtalk. If so, you've given them bulletin board material with that whole "wimped out" comment and all.... Yeah, I just found out a couple of days ago they were talking about it... I guess they needed some time to recruit.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:59 AM) I'm kind of losing you here, could you elaborate? they used to manipulate supply to keep prices in the $25 range. They were perfectly happy at that point. If prices had never gotten to $50, $75, $100, $135, it is impossible to think that they would have altered their pricing habits above that point.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:29 AM) If you increase production of Saudi oil by 1 m bpd or you increase domestic production by 1 m bpd, then in theory the results on the price should be the same. But that makes lots of assumptions, like assuming there won't be a corresponding increase in demand or that the monopoly in the system won't cut production to keep the price high. Which sounds really good in hindsight, but ignores the history of price targets that OPEC used to have. Hell their targets were in the range of where we are trading, minus $100. It makes much more sense that if prices had never gotten up that high in the first place, they would have stayed perfectly happy with crude oil in the range of the price targets, or a little higher.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ May 23, 2008 -> 08:21 AM) "Three easy payments of $XX.95". I know the demographic those infomercials are aiming for may be mathematically challenged, but just tell people what the stupid price of your stupid miracle product is. And while you're at it, stop with the veiled threats of unrevealed consequences if we don't "ORDER BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT!!!" But you do want a large penis right?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:33 AM) Can you back that up with data? I'll give you the Politico summary of his April donations, which seem to argue against that statement: I'm sure he has his fair share of max donors, but for the average donation he's receiving to come in so low, at $91, then there must be an overwhelming amount of money coming in from the small contributions. The numbers and percentages of small donors don't matter. The question is large donors. That is all a nice little statistical trick to miss the whole story. He has had 25,000 donations of $2300 (the max). For comparison sake, Hillary has about 22,600 of $2300. McCain has 15,000ish. To get those kind of numbers is where the bundlers come into play. Those are the guys who you owe favors.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:24 AM) The reason I put in only a couple hundred thousand barrels per day is that even if we'd started drilling when President Bush took office, we probably still would not be at the 1 million BPD level for several more years. The 1 million BPD level is hit somewhere in the area of 7-10 years after drilling commences in the area, according to standard production estimates. If we started drilling there today, it'd be 2015-2020 before we reached those levels. Via the EIA: the whole premise of the article is this... Its very fair to look at full production numbers.

He is also getting large amounts from bigger donors more than anyone else in history from the looks of it.

QUOTE (juddling @ May 23, 2008 -> 09:53 AM) Man, does the Friday before Memorial Day weekend go slow or what???? Yes. Especially when everything closes early except for one thing, and you have to stick around to watch that oen thing.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 23, 2008 -> 07:01 AM) A couple years back there was a core group of SS, Steff, PA, Kap, Jim, YAS, and couple others and we basically posted our way through a work day. Gee, how things have changed. I'm certain we had a couple 100 post days. But it was more like texting then posting, if that makes sense. Between game threads and posting, there were plenty of 100 post days.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:20 AM) The Boston Red Sox have kicked butt ever since sabermetrician Bill James joined the staff in a paid position. Well that and a $150 million payroll helps...

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 23, 2008 -> 06:58 AM) So now he's being criticized for accepting donations. What next? Easy killer. Tex was making the point that he has accepted a lot of big donations, and people don't give those out of the kindness of their hearts. Trust me, this point has been made over and over again when it was the GOP leading the way for donations, so rightfully you should hear it now with Obama.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 23, 2008 -> 06:52 AM) Seeing that Obama's donations are primarily of the $100 variety I'm not seeing what the issue is. There are PLENTY of the other kind.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 22, 2008 -> 09:15 PM) Whoa! Who the hell is this Fathom guy and how did he pass me?? And Balta will pass me this summer while I'm lounging on the beach. I remember when 30,000 posts meant something Its still means something

Also the Sox are 12-5 since the blow up dolls made a visit in Toronto...
