I am really disappointed in the flame throwers... this broke yesterday and still no one has posted it.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 05:45 PM) Bush's tax cuts didnt do a damn thing. I ask a simple question... if we just experienced the "Clinton" recession (which is total bs) what did G HW Bush experience... the "Reagan" recession? Somebody please let me know when the stock market gets back to where it was back in 2000. Then we can show a 0% gain in 5+ years. Would you care to explain how the Clinton recession is BS?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 04:47 PM) Let's ask a different question...what was the variety of shoes commonly thrown at Mr. Bush's opponent during the 2004 election? And what is one of the biggest b****es about this administration? That they don't compromise and try to do everything their way. Now they compromise and people complain.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) we did??? or you did? Trust me, there were others who saw through this load of crap too.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) Reason #673 to hate on Wal-Mart. http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/12/22/walmart....h.ap/index.html Quote from the article: The company added lower-cost health insurance this year after an internal memo surfaced that showed 46 percent of Wal-Mart employees' children were on Medicaid or uninsured. Guess who pays for that Medicaid? We do as taxpayers. How many of those were full time employees?

Happy Birthday Willie!!!

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) Yep, you beat me to the punch. Why has this not been discussed before? The owners can't stick together long enough to get it done and the MLBPA knows it.

The Iraqi judge in the Saddam case says there is "no evidence" to support these allegations. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4551656.stm

QUOTE(drowninginflame @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 03:57 PM) sounds like someone here is making some real sense the market isn't there anymore. Price's have gone up. Remember you were paying about $1.30 for a gallon of gas then too...

maybe the Hawks need to do like Boston did and send a fax to all of the NHL GMs saying that all players are available and start over again. what they are doing now isn't working.

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) Who is Mr West Looper?? Wilkens

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 12:12 PM) Kevin Walker and Tom Gordon had similiar deals though, no? I believe Walker even started in AAA, was eventually brought up and consistently s*** the bed. Ozzie even decided to use him in a close game vs. the Angels. I think we all remember that night. As did one Esteban Loiaza

Hey Henry, any idea if Mr West Looper himself, Ilk is going to be back for the bash?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) difference is even the scrub players the backups like Timo Perez can make a million dollars..... hell even guys that never make the majors make 100,000's to play each year and hey Borchard has never really actually stayed in the majors and made millions. So its not like only the good players get paid everyone gets paid as long as you have just a little bit of talent. The best fries maker at McDonalds still only makes 6.25 . As for the whole Jon Garland thing.... ive always been a fan of his so it sucks that he is all but gone but if we can fill a hole with him like the last 2 bullpen spots I wont really lose any sleep. I just hope that we get some good players no scrubs. How many people does MCD employ vs MLB?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 12:54 PM) So has anyone other than me noticed that this thread is actually called "The lastest on Garland." Can we expect this to therefore be the last Garland-related thread here? Not.A.Chance

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) Thanks for the WS, Jon. Now, see you in Hell. Joe Crede's new nickname, if this is to be believed, can be Joe Greedy. how about "One joke poster"?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) Can you change the title or get rid of this thread all together? Damn, admins do nothing around here. See you amatuers don't realize if you delete or merge the thread right away, they just post another one. The key is to give them a second to see this, and then merge away. And you want to be my latex salesman :headshake

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 11:48 AM) Be a leader....turn down all of your benefits and pay for everything out of your own pockets. Everyone will follow. Or we could just look at what happened to the airlines, automakers, and steel industry in the US as to what happens when you can't control your costs. I am sure the people of places like Gary would tell you that less benefits or lower pay is better than a bankruptcy filing and no jobs at all.
