QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 08:49 AM) It was a report from FEMA, and they did say 1 million from NO to the Cape area. I'm not familiar with NO and it's surrounding areas so I have no idea of what the "cape" area is ...? But they did say 1 million. They also said that there's a 40% chance the Superdome won't survive. Must be the metro area then, even so it was reported that 80% of NO evacuated, so maybe the number was 1 million people left? Anyways, about the Superdome, they said a section of roof opened up and is damaged http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/08/29/hurr...rina/index.html

Even funnier, Suge might have shot himself. http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/341507p-291580c.html

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 08:38 AM) I heard on WGN that waves will reach 30 ft. and that the New Orleans sewer sytem and flood control will be destroyed with the city under 10-20 feet of sewage and toxic stuff from landfills and such. 90 % of the homes will be destroyed with the expected casualties at 1 million. There are only 500,000 people that live in New Orleans?!?!? I think you might have gotten some bad info.

The eye of the hurricane is now completely ashore

QUOTE(mreye @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 08:18 AM) You said you weren't going! I'm in 105 row 12 or 17 or 19 or something. Trust me, I wasn't planning on it.

I believe that I heard yesterday that the Astros have been shutout 16 times and 8 of them are when Clemens has started.

GO BULLS!!!!

I'd like to see an appreciation day, but not this year. The focus needs to be on the team down the stretch, and not the potential distraction of Frank Thomas maybe not coming back next year.

Uh guys, Adkins won't be on the roster at midnight August 31st either. Brandon McCarthy is getting called up on the 30th and will replace Jon Adkins.

QUOTE(winodj @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 07:35 AM) I'm willing to bet that won't happen. I don't think it will either, but it should. I do wish the media would actually pick up the ball and run with this one though.

One more thing to throw on the fire... This would be an occasion that Bush should make a statement saying he will release crude from the Strategic Reserve to replace disruption of production. This is an actual emergency, and fits what the intention of what the Reserve was made for.

QUOTE(winodj @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) Yeah, we should. But - the first week she was there, it was her and a tarp. As crazy as she may be, people were touched by her story. But see that is where is becomes interesting. When you start to have money involved, you have to question where it becomes an influence and how much of an influence it is. No one had any problems connecting the dots with the Swift Boat Vets and seeing who was financing that mess, and then using it to define their message as partisian. I don't think this is much different.

Surprisingly crude has faded during the overnight session back under $70 bbp. It will be interesting to see what happens when they start tradeing in the pits at 9 am CDT.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) My aunt and uncle live just outside of Biloxi. They both work at a hospital, so they can't leave. I usually don't get too worked up about hurricanes but after Ivan last year and Dennis (even though it wasn't that bad) this year, I have a bit of a different outlook. They are already talking about tornados flaring up in Alabama and Mississippi now. What is the outlook for you in Bham?

QUOTE(rangercal @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) They traded Dubois for Gerut, Gerut for Lawton, Lawton for Berg? In 2 months? What is the Logic? To all of the people who fancy themselves as GMs on here, this is the perfect example of why you don't make knee jerk reaction trades. Hendry is all over the map with no plan at all, and this is what it got him.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) Do you think BMAC will get that start in Boston on 9/5? Supposedly it will be El Duque.

Happy Birthday Boys

Last trade is $70.86 up almost $5 bbp

Section 105 Row 10 seats 5-6

On our honeymoon when we were in Toronto we went up to the top of the CN Tower. My wife is deathly afraid of heights and barely moved away from the elevator. Me I have no brains so the section where it is glass bottomed and 1300 feet in the air, I was jumping up and down on it. I'd definately do this.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 06:00 PM) I'm thinking Harry Caray's on Kinze street. All proceeds will go to the chartiable organization of my choice. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr RAAAAAAAAAAAAANCH!

OPenning trade in the NYMEX overnight session of Oct Crude was over $70.00 a barrell. Gasoline will be $3 a gallon for Labor Day weekend, mark my words. If you have a half empty tank, fill up TONIGHT!

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) If Orton is named the Bears starter for Week 1, I'll set up a web cam and eat my hat. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) It's official. Bears | Orton Named Starting QB Sun, 28 Aug 2005 11:19:25 -0700 The Chicago Bears have named rookie QB Kyle Orton as their new starting quarterback for the start of the 2005 season.

20 foot storm surges are being predicted in front of this storm. The entire city of New Orleans is being evacuated, and will probably be under at least 10 feet of water.

We had better see Baj. After the year he has had, he deserves a chance
