What a sick SOB.

Its hard to say, because each of them is so incredibly talented, that it really comes down to personal taste. I think it is Paul McCartney, but it would impossible to argue with anyone who said either John or George.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) I know about double jeopardy, but is there ANY chance that if there's some sort of slip of the tongue, if he could be re-tried? If not, he might as well just come out and say it, move to some foreign country, like Maine, and drop out of existence. Perjury is the big thing they could get him with.

And one more that of course never hit the MSM... http://www.investors.com/editorial/editori...247191278714751

Well Nancy's job of cleaning up Congress, sure looks to be getting harder by the minute

QUOTE(ptatc @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 01:29 PM) The Ichiro bid really backfired for Seattle. There is a big difference between being the first positional player to comeover, and being in a long line of pitchers who have come over.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 01:20 PM) As long as the insane dwarf who runs their country gets underage girls, and nuclear weapons all is well in the NK. I wonder if the cure is somehow linked to plutonium or centrifuges. If so they are on the verge of a breakthrough. The only reason they tested that "bomb" was because China had cut their oil supply going into NK because they had been disobeying the Pulitboro in Bejing. They were desparate to get an infusion of cash, so they figured that this would get them another bribe to stop testing again.

No big surprise there... They have had something like a million people die in the latest famine over there. Things which are deemed as "basic" goods and services in NK, are rarely accessible for the general public, including things like food and medicine. Its sad, but nothing is going to change while Il runs that country.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 12:34 PM) How about Crede and Cotts, they are looking for relievers. I think if we gave them two established major leaguers, the price of their prospect goes up as well. Instead of a lower level pitcher, you take a look at one of their SP prospects on the cusp of the majors... maybe somebody like Chris Bootcheck.

I'm thinking a deal that goes something like Figgins/McPhearson/lowminorSP-Crede/Broadway could be of interest to both teams.

Ah, let the Joe Crede speculation BEGIN! http://www.topix.net/content/trb/031364364...087022465750673

Well so far we have deals by Blago and Barak on the Rezko list, next up, Luis Gutierrez http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/i...1&cset=true

Mine is not as a much of a question as a comment... I would like to go on record as saying "F you PA" Thank you.

I wonder if he is the one with the evidence to indict Dick Cheney...

I would have to run on the platform of "At least I understand Econ 101".

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 01:23 AM) I'd be surprised if Crede was in the Sox plans for 2008. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he is here in 2007.

Wow, its intersting to see Tampa spending some money... I wonder how long that will last?

HEEEEEEEE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK From Drudge Glad to see we learned from our mistakes. Maybe the Libertarians need another voter afterall...

Dugans is a great place to hangout in Greektown. Too bad I have another Christmas party that night, or I would try to make it out there.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 06:12 PM) Just heard an brief interview with KW from Bruce Levine on ESPN1000.... Kenny was asked whether there would be a long-term deal for Joe Crede in the off-season. He said that the issues regarding Crede's back have been overblown by people (including myself, though, he in no way mentioned me ) but that he didn't expect a deal to be reached "and that has everything to do with his representation." He said the Sox and Boras have different views on the value of players and he doesn't expect that to change anytime soon. Translation... Don't be surprised to see Joe Crede go to somewhere else in a blockbuster type deal. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 08:19 AM) Translation... Don't be surprised to see Joe Crede go to somewhere else in a blockbuster type deal. I got to thinking about it a little more... teams that could be interested might be Anaheim, Giants, Philly, Houston, Cincy, and San Diego... Just guesses. Another wild card I could still see happening is the Arod-Crede/SP deal.

So what about a team like ND who doesn't have a confrence? Why should they get off easy when it comes to winning their confrence like other teams have to do?

A couple of things... I agree. Boston has completely lost the right to b**** about anything monetary related when it comes to baseball. They are now officially the New England Yankees. Also Red/White, if you ever want to know why people get crappy with you so quickly, go back and read this thread like you were the other side of the fence. Put all of your obvious biases aside, if you can, and think how you would have reacted. Then next time you feel picked on, think back to here. You reap what you sow.

What happened two years ago? The Red Sox won the World Series, and all of the sudden George went nuts. Now the Yankees are working after another year of not winning the ring, plus the Red Sox are threatening to take the spotlight away from them, including a pitcher they really wanted, while having basically nothing for a pitching staff right now. Stein has a big history of stepping in and forcing moves to get made, especially when his temper gets the best of them. You can bet if he thinks Theo and the New England Yankees are getting the best of him, he will call Cashman into his office and demand action. It has been proven out time and time again.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) There are no fingerprints of the Boss on the first two moves of the Yankees off-season, nor in the quest for Matsuzaka. It sure seems like Cash is the one running the show, which means no Hughes. And you really think he will just stay out of it? I don't buy it for a second.
