QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 17, 2007 -> 03:13 PM) But, that's more than enough money to make him a bit player in the general if he chose to run as an independent He would be a perfect fit for Unity08.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Dec 17, 2007 -> 03:09 PM) Oh, I wouldn't say that. It shows growing momentum for a platform like Ron Paul's. Something that can hopefully be built off. Except his momentum has been totally buried by Romney and Huckabee.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Dec 17, 2007 -> 02:44 PM) The $6 million one-day total means the campaign has raised over $18 million this quarter, far exceeding its goal of $12 million. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/ very nice Too bad it doesn't mean a thing.

I BOUGHT SHINER BOCK IN CHICAGO

I'd love to see the Cubs send off some of those young players to get another reliever, but I also would hate to see some of those guys in a twins uni for years to come. Marmol seems like the type that would make us eat it 19 times a year for the next 4-5 years.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 02:58 PM) interesting quip by Canseco (maybe already posted): That makes sense when you take it in the context of the early "false report".

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 02:55 PM) Isn't BBC pretty much the definition of mainstream media? In any case, the pre-war output was terrible. Saddam had let a lot of the infrastructure fall apart. I am sure he was referring to US media, I doubt many people in the US get their news from the BBC.

Any early predictions on who the Sox will be hoping to get, or will draft?

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 06:13 AM) There are still mid season replacements that will get shown as well as new Law and Order and Lost in 2008 Even lost was only half of the season taped before the strike started...

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 01:33 PM) Sooo, you say he's hot when in drag??? THAT IS NOT COOL!

QUOTE(scenario @ Dec 13, 2007 -> 05:21 PM) I think Kenny shot himself in the foot on outfielder opportunities by being so public about wanting Hunter and then not getting it done. All of a sudden we were in a jam and everybody else (including Fukudome and Rowand) had to be looking at it like they're the consolation prize not the guy we really wanted. Meanwhile, the Cubs targeted Fukudome as their first choice and ponied up to get him. Ditto for the Giants and Rowand. Another thing I don't understand is that we were willing to offer 32-year old Hunter 5 years but only willing to offer 30-year old Rowand 4 years. But Kenny said he couldn't offer Aaron 5-years because "we didn't have the resources"??? What am I missing here? I don't believe Kenny Williams ever said a public word about Torii Hunter until after he signed with Anaheim. He discussed it with players on his team, and players he had targeted to bring to the Sox, that is it.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 12:10 PM) There is no nuclear bomb. She can't set it off without destroying herself. Everytime a trial balloon gets lifted, someone from the Clinton campaign resigns. I think the dynamic of the campaign is currently such that any negative campaigning reflects poorly on the attacker, not the attacked - especially when it comes to Obama. As time as passed, I have come to this school of thought. It seems that everytime something comes out it is connected back to the Clinton camp somehow. Even if they do have something big, it would be easy for Obama to sell it as another Hillary Smear Job.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 12:25 PM) My girl on the other hand....may fall out of equilibrium on the crazy/hot scale. She's ridiculously hot, but she's also ridiculously crazy and stupid. Speaking of which, how is your mom?

QUOTE(mreye @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 09:10 AM) Most birthday notices come down from the "stickies" the next day. Why are you so damned special to still have it up here two days later? Don't hate.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 13, 2007 -> 01:54 PM) You're wasting your time. The quoted poster was trying to start crap. It might be a waste of time, but I think something like that is worth noting, because it doesn't seem to be commonly known in the US.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 13, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) I hate to be the one to say this, but while this raises my hopes that these guys are fully clean, the Mitchell Report certainly does not prove that 100%. It does prove they have not been involved with the balco, Grimsley, or Radomski networks, or anything that has come out so far. Thanks for saying this... Mostly it means we didn't have a rat in the clubhouse. Don't kid yourself into thinking this means that none of our players juiced, because it simply isn't true.

In our present situation I have no problem throwing open CF to Anderson, Sweeney, or Owens... Who ever can win the job is fine with me. Use the extra money to put into improving somewhere else.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Dec 13, 2007 -> 03:14 PM) I think it's interesting that nearly everyone who has posted thus far has implied a very negative reaction or stance towards the players who have used steroids. I've commented several times in this thread that the owners, upper-level execs, and managers were fully aware of exactly what was going on in most instances. And yet I've not commented positively or negatively regarding the players. And I won't, because I think this subject is enormously complex. Why are the players the one's taking such a huge hit here? Why not the rest of the baseball industry? Why so harsh to judge the players, and no one else? Because the players were the ones who actually DID the cheating, of course they are going to get the worst of this. That is pretty obvious if you ask me.

Well I will say this much, for those who expected this to be watered down, they sure were proved wrong. Now the really interesting part becomes will Seling grow a pair and punish people for their sins or not?

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Dec 13, 2007 -> 09:11 AM) Did he wish everyone a Merry christmas? What are Muslism's take on ole JC? Muslims hold a place of revernce for Jesus Christ as one of the greatest prophets, but not as the son of God obviously. It is supposed to be part of their teachings to have respect for people "of the book", meaning both Christians and Jews.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 12, 2007 -> 04:37 PM) Only if Dorothy the Dinosaur and Captain Feathersaw show up as well. Do you know they had to replace the Yellow Wiggle as well, because of some heart / liver condition (or something like that). Of course being a Wiggle is such a physically demanding job. Its Capitian Feathersword, duh. Some Aussie you are... :headshake

Thanks everybody for the well wishes! It was another great birthday, and hear is to another great year, with a healthy new baby on the way soon!
