The Rally Crede requests Journey. And if the band knows what is good for them, they play it.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 03:46 AM) I've been screaming it feels like all year to bring back Frank to a Juan-Gone type deal...where he is only guaranteed the league minimum next year, but with incentives that he reaches, he can get in upwards of around $5-8 mill. That is pretty much what I see happening. He will get about a million base, and then insentives which could make up the difference between his what he could have made this year and the million dollars.

It doesn't surprise me at all to see Evan Bayh's name on there. He has his eyes on the oval office, and being apart of a bill like this is a great thing to be able to campaign on. It is also items like this that make me wonder if a line item veto wouldn't be so bad of a thing...

I think it comes down to do kids have a right to be ignorant. Remember ignorant is a purposeful lack of knowledge. Do parents have the right to have their kids not learn something. How different would the arguement be if the district was teaching intelligent design instead of gay tolerance? Essentially it boils down to can an educational system require you to learn something that you in your heart *know* isn't true, and don't want your kids to learn? Another example, how about in a predominantly Muslim town like Dearborne Michigan. Say they decide by popular vote that they want their kids to take a class on the history of Islam. Why wouldn't Jewish, Christian etc parents have the right for their kids not to be taught something they don't believe.

QUOTE(Felix @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) I fixed the Rally Crede up a bit, the white part bothered me And the Rally Crede said "thou shalt have no other idols above me, or I shall strike you down, and return you to earth in the most horrible form possible. Thou shalt be known as 'Cub fan'." And then the Rally Crede made it so. And from the earth sprung the two most hideous horrible creatures the Rally Crede could imagine. Then the Rally Crede said "I shall call you 'Steve Bartman' and I shall call you 'Ron Santo'."

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) What about game 2? Oh I hope its thunderstix!!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) I think that gift should go to season ticket holders only. Some guy who can afford $10,000 to buy tix from a broker doesn't need any more 'freebies'. Couldn't the same be said for someone who drops $10,000 for season tickets?

Congrats dude. I wish I could say the samething.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 02:31 PM) Is *THAT* how that happened? It sounds like it will be called the immaculate castration

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) And out of all that the GOP focused on the blow job. Sounds like penis envy. There was GOP focus on all of the issues, they wanted to get him for anything they could, much like the Dems are trying to get the Bush people for anything they can. The media only focused on the BJs and the sexual harassment, so that was the only case that got off of the ground. Stained dresses are way more interesting than Johnny Chung. If the media had put as many headlines up about connections between campaign donations and pardons, maybe those investigations would have gone somewhere. Its the samething in this administration. No one really gave much into these allegations until the media headlines kept coming, and then it was time to do some series investigating. Also remember many of these same Dems who felt lying to Congress wasn't important now feel that lying about these leaks is pretty damned important all of the sudden, and we haven't had anyone even under oath yet.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) You equate an extramarital blowjob with the s*** Cheney's office is "allegedly" involved with that led to knowingly ovberstating the case for war and the tresonous outing of a CIA operative? Alrighjty then. god love ya'. :rolly No, but thanks for proving my point. More accurately I consider insider trading, whoring out the white house, selling of pardons, murder allegations, influence peddling to forgein nationals for campaign funding (treason really depending on who you believe the money came from), repeated sexual harassment, etc, IMO are more than "just a blow job". I don't get how many of the same people who bounce with glee and awe from Bush scandal to scandal think that we need to go back to the Clinton years where the same exact kinds of corruption were taking place, if not worse. Heck IMO the only difference between Bush and Clinton was 9-11 opened a few more doors for the guys propping up Bush to get into trouble, that Clinton never had the chance at.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) Yes. B-a-s-e-b-a-l-l is correct. Duh that is T-H-A-T :headshake

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:55 PM) wow, 16 posts until that came up, you guys are slacking. and this is a bummer, i was looking forward to going again this year after the awesome time we had last year. It could be worse... You could have had penis's on your head. :headshake

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:55 PM) Bush and his followers are nothing but lying cheats, rapers, stealing thugs, who know how to solve all the world's problems but choose not to, kick puppy dogs right in the teeth, drink the blood that comes out of those teeth, and then goes on tv at night to talk about how good the blood tastes. Is that about right? And remarkably it is many who also use the "just a blow job" mantra like it is going out of style.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) I really don't think anyone knows the true #. My uncle - career AF - agrees the numbers are up.. 107% up.. his # definitely wasn't that high. I don't think he was saying they were 107% up, I think Nuke was saying it was 107% of the goal, which means they hit their goal plus 7% over that number IIUC.

Rally Crede's mom was an astronaut.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) LIES, you know you don't have to be 21. Well its either that or "security" might just show up looking for you...

AHHHHHHHHHH JINX!!!!

Also if you are 21 years old or older (much older in some cases) you can always spend the evenings at the Hyatt bar. That is one of the highlights of the weekend as many players, coaches, and fans hang out up there.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) anyone have an idea what a 3 day pass will go for now? I still want to go but have no tix. There will be plenty of daily passes around. Remember when someone books a room they give them 4 passes for each day, which means most people will have two extras to each day, as more rooms are booked by two people. Your best bet is to ask around here as it gets to be January.

I remember a few years ago we wore the 1917 jersey as an alternative Sunday home games jersey. That just got me to thinking, is there any chance that the Sox will unviel a new jersey just for this WS?

Wow, that is incredible. This ought to be an incredible year to go, I am really sad that I am going to have to miss at least most of it.

I wonder what the over/under of these ending up on Ebay?
