We haven't been 1-1 for about 3 weeks now, me thinks you are a little behind

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 01:33 PM) You're kidding me, I thought they finally topped off the SPR a few years ago? They've seriously still been filling that thing this whole time? Yowza. They released a bunch for Katrina relief right?

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:53 AM) If he doesn't throw a pitch this season do we still have to pay him? I would guess the contract is insured and they would pay the contract, minus the deductible.

Moyer is the kind of junkballer that gives the Sox fits. The fact that he did again last night should be of a surprise to no one.

Girls who wrap sweaters around their waist to hide their butts are akin to guys who stuff socks down their pants to hide their truth.

QUOTE(Damen @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 09:26 AM) What about the Ozzie philosophy of throwing games away by starting all your scrubs at once? Yup, Ozzie goes out and tries to lose game. GMAB. :banghead

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 02:55 PM) I've been out of the job market so long.. Went well. It's in Rosemont which is a bit further, but the bump in salary would be nice... cha-ching. Rosemont? That commute would suck.

this was in today's Trib

Sounds like dehydration? Anyways, congrats on a great time, and on raising that much money. You did us proud old chap. Bang up job

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 12:23 PM) I don't agree that it is an awful idea. Its not that I am naive to the fact that government spending can represent an enormous boost to the economy - its that the long run factors are more important to me than the short run. Our increasing debt, our unwillingness to address waste in any real way, a desire by recent administrations to overspend... its going to be a repeating pattern, unless something changes. In my view, a balanced budget requirement of some sort is the best solution. Here are two other ideas: 1. Want to stop waste? Want government agencies to perform at private industry standards? Then why not do what companies do? Have private consulting firms (Accenture and the like) do a real and complete audit for ALL government agencies, to see where the money goes. Set the budgetary AND performance goals based on the reports. Reward agencies for efficiency, fire manager at agencies still being wasteful. 2. Want to eliminate pork? Time for a Truth in Legislation Act. One bill = one subject. Every bill sent to the floor for a vote gets an OMB/GAO (or private firm again) review of the text. Anything in the bill not directly related to the subject matter of the bill is shaved off, and would have to be passed seperately. Exception would be made, of course, for annual budgets. 3. Line item veto with a 60 vote override.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 11:10 AM) I used to think it had to do with economics. You need very little equipment to shoot hoops and lots of equipment and rink time to play hockey. That doesn't explain why so many African American kids play football and not baseball though. I'm not sure why the numbers have fallen off the way they have in baseball. The numbers of kids playing baseball period have fallen off big time. Much of it is for the reasons you listed already. it takes a lot of people and money to play the sport, where as for basketball you need one ball and two kids. Its not just one race that has quit playing baseball, its all races in the United States.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 11:12 PM) Kansas City won't be chanting "Overrated" at us again. The funny thing is that they did take 2 of 3 from Cleveland

QUOTE(GoSosaGoCubsGo @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 03:19 AM) With the growing membership in Sox fans this year, gear yourself for more bandwagon fans. Soon The Gays will be spotted at the cell, and who knows if the south side culture can co-exist with the boys from boystown. The Cubs would have been a much better team if sosa was playing with them this year. Nice pics from Clubitup.com . They look like typical white sox fans. I knew Jimbos was a gay club. Its gotta be like being a switchboard operator in a cellular phone world... Just not many chances to ply your craft as a Cubs fan trolling a White Sox board, huh?

QUOTE(indyman @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 09:59 AM) I'm not sure 101 wins is out of reach. Has there ever been a better 5 man rotation ..from top to bottom? The key (as always) is to stay heathy. 99 wins last year was a lot of wins. Let's face it. The division is way better than last year, and we really fattened up on the AL Central We should be thrilled if we can duplicate teh 99 wins of last year, but talking about 116 wins being possible is just insane at this point of the season.
