QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) These are Doctors, and Lawyers, and businesspeople who love to travel to San Antonio and South Padre Island for long weekends. They own property over here. Despite your view, they don't want to live here, they have lives in Mexico. You are confusing two groups. Do we follow the same laws then for Italians, English, Aussies, Poles, Chinese? Add up the lawbreakers and punish the innocent? Actually our immigration policy has always been on a country by country basis. People perpetually abuse our visa program, and the government has to identify the groups that have the biggest chance of violating their stay. It isn't a big leap of faith to think that the group that has the most illegal aliens in the US, would also abuse the visa policy the quickest. Its just like having two kids. One is in trouble all of the time, and one is your typical nerd who hasn't been in trouble a day in his life. Are you going to not let the good kid go out, because the bad kid did something wrong? Most likely you would give the bad kid less opportunities to break the rules, and would give the good kid leeway.

OK so much more important than Burke vs Davis vs Widger. What does Katy think? I'll bet she is devestated right now.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) say on these over and under wins how much would u win on say: 100 bucks? they pay 1.5? They probably all pay -110.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 12:12 PM) Nuke for one. You supported shorter visa restrictions on Mexicans Damn right I did. And if Canada had a problem with illegal immigrants using every means possible to cross the border, I'd want the same restrictions on them. Why would we give a problem border more chances and a longer opportunity to slip away into the country? It gives them longer to find safehouses, longer to find work, longer to find places to hide. If we didn't have millions of illegals here already, and many thousands more trying every single day, there wouldn't be the need for the different programs. Its just like privlege (and yes visiting a forgien country is one) if people abuse it, it gets taken away, or lessened. We obviously don't have the funds to check up on every visa we issue, so the restrictions instead have to be greater.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 12:07 PM) That Mexicans should enjoy the same visitation policies that Canadians have. That Mexican Americans should not be harassed by vigilantes along the border. These guys can not tell the difference between a citizen, a resident alien, and an illegal. So they harass all of them. There are way more legals here than illegals. Who supported the vigilantees?

QUOTE(poorme @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) Thanks. 83 wins would seem to be "easy" money. maybe they know something we don't? Its all supply and demand. If the general public were buying up the Sox at 83 wins, it wouldn't stay there, it would go up. If no one were buying the Sox at 83, they would fall. Outside of setting the initial lines, the casinos are only responding to buying pressure when they move their lines around.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) Wasn't a set up. I thought reminding everyone of the positive contributions that Mexican-Americans have made to this country would have balanced all the negatives that these vigilantes like to mention. From a City of Los Angeles Proclamation Alfredo "Freddy" Gonzalez is a local hero around these parts. I see the many Mexican-Americans that enter the service here. Most people do not realize that you do not have to be a US Citizen to join our military. I believe it is a shame that these men and women can bravely serve our country, with honor, and they are not automatically granted citizenship. Mexicans do a lot for our country, I think we all knew and have stated that. Every person who has responded to you has noted that legal immigration is an important part of this country, and probably would acknowledge the vital role that migration has played in the US history. I don't think I have seen anyone on here trying to perpetuate some kind of the "lazy Mexican" stereotype, so I am not quite sure what you are trying to say that people who disagree with you are saying????

When do the old lady shoving, and kicking people in the nuts day happen?

82.5 looks about right judging by what I am finding on line.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) I think anything else would be a welcome change. Wait .... No damn politics! I think Michael Jackson is an upstanding citizen, how about you YAS?

QUOTE(T R U @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) How much will you guys chip in if I legally change my name to Soxtalk.com I got a quarter, anyone else?

QUOTE(mreye @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 10:26 AM) To find me: I'll have a big covered luggage carrier on top of my maroon Blazer. I'm trying to think of a way to put a Sox helmet on top too. Which lot did you say you were going to be in?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) Wow. RIP to Terri and hopefully everybody can move on in some regards in their lives. Hopefully the media circus will let the people rest and get on with what they need to. Don't worry the media circus is booking their tickets to the Jakko trial as we speak.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) I know I hated it when Evansville was on the same time as Indy half the year and an hour behind the other half. It was confusing as hell. Especially near the border areas. I had the same proplem in college. Half the year we were on the same time as home, half the year we were an hour ahead. It didn't make any sense.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 07:44 PM) I've always liked the name Mookie Blaylock. Those were some fun OU teams... Rickey Grace, Mookie Blalock, Stacey King etc.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) I heard Contreras on Friday and Garland on Saturday. KILL THE MESSENGER!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 09:22 AM) Let me see if I understand you. Illegal immigration is a good reason to limit Mexicans legally visiting the US because they are more likely to overstay a 6-month Visa than a 3-month Visa. Mexicans should be punished because of the wrongs of their countrymen, but not given any credit to the good of their countrymen. Did I get that right? Ah the big set up, now I get it.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 09:26 AM) Ahh yes my bad, I don't won't you to get into a whole Juggs argument with me now. Thanks more than you will ever know

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) I've heard other teams didn't want to claim Davis not only because of his injury, but because they don't think he can handle being a backup instead of a starter. And Sandy's got nothing left, he was brutal defensively behind the plate, perhaps Widger is an upgrade on Burke on that regard? Although, in 2002, Widger threw out 6 of 18 runners and had a CERA of 4.39, while Burke last season threw out 8 of 19 runners and had a CERA of 4.78. Once again, I wouldn't read too much into Burkes CS% as he was MB's catcher.

RIP Terri.

If you have the money for a Dell I would do it, if you have to finance I wouldn't. Dell is the worst company I have ever dealt with, bar none. Their customer service is all out sourced to India, and no one makes any sense. They are a nightmare to deal with.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 08:39 AM) By your argument alone where's the logic in messing with success then? We know what Burke can do pitching Mark. Widger's an unknown. Liked the last 3 girls at the dance analogy. So true! I think Burke lost favor w Oz when Hunter bowled him over. We don't mess with success. MB has been at the top of the league in SB% against and pick offs every year, long before Burke came along. The reason for the success is back.

So basically all of his value is in the two shares of teams he owns.

Jesus, how can you be the #1 team in the country all year long and have the #117th class, even with all of the graduations and NBA jumps that are going to happen after this season?
