QUOTE(mreye @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 10:14 AM) You gotta come down to see me too. My buddy made a new corhole set. One with the current Sox logo and the other with the 1917 logo. Very cool. You guys park in the SE corner of E, right? All of the way down the fenceline from the Bullpen Sports Bar, up against 37th street. I can't remember which lot # it is.

QUOTE(mreye @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 10:09 AM) I'll come on down. I may be parked down by the "enemy", though. Wrigley? Just make sure you stop by and down a few

QUOTE(mreye @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) I've been watching the same thing. My 3 buddies and I are drinking a beer for every degree it is. I hope it's 60! That's 15 each! You're meeting us for the tailgate right? We have a Drs appointment at 10, but we are leaving right after that.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) Sleep in the car. It will be soooo romantic.. Or homeless

QUOTE(Sox1422 @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 09:29 AM) What do you consider cheap? Have you tried priceline? $50 for the Hyatt Regency and that was the first try. You might be able to get it cheaper. I have been bidding $50 every few days for a couple of weeks now, and haven't been able to get one.

Decimals, details...

QUOTE(Sox1422 @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 08:48 AM) Where is the post game party going to be? If we can find a cheap room, we will stay, if not we are heading back that night.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 08:47 AM) It's so weird to read you being so serious.. I was thinking the samething

Its fixed. I was trying to get rid of things that could be running that people didn't use. I had no idea so many people used that feature.

QUOTE(Beastly @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 08:38 AM) I'll be at opening day. Shoot me a PM if I'm invited to the tailgaiting party, or if you want to meet up with me. I'll buy a beer or two... Just show up. No invite necessary.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 08:36 AM) LMAO.. Jim just asked if you guys were driving with us.. then followed it up with a "probably not if they want to see the first 3 innings.. " I'll mail those, OD, and the others out on Saturday. Don't worry about the openners. We can just get those from you in Mil or at the tailgate.

I don't know what I was typing... I did mean first base. Man I gotta lay off the booze at 8 am.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 08:30 AM) I don't think that's the main argument that should be used though. Though i was only 6, i still know what happened and it effected a program i love dearly. Whether or not you experienced it is irrelevant, to a degree...if you know what i mean. It would probly mean more to someone who was in college during those years or was a bigger illini fan than i was that year when i was 6, but i still think it's fair to say take a hatred to Pearl if you wish Just don't make it the game story tonight If it is the game story tonight, Illinois is in trouble. They are the ones who have something to lose. If they are preoccupied with this, they are vulnerable. Weber better have them focused better than the media is.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 08:20 AM) IMo, it's beyond placing blame. If someone were to start looking into it.. what would it prove? Do the parents deserve to be implicated in a crime that caused her condition...? IMO, there's no need for that. What's done is done.. can't be fixed. A shame.. Many people are exploring the husbands life, and using his actions to justify what should or shouldn't be done to Terri. I wonder why this isn't a two way street? Why aren't the parents actions beign explored, since the husband's seem to be so important?

After reading the write up in the Trib, there is no doubt if Smith and Rodgers are already off of the board, the Bears are taking a RB.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 08:00 AM) Hell yes! You know where you're sitting yet? I know you're Suite Boy, but do you know WHICH suite, or what part of the park? My family's in the cheapies out in RF and the Kid I like to call Gleason is a few rows behind us with his family. I'll bend the elbow a little bit but I gotta drive home after the game, so I won't be doing TOO much imbibery. PM me if you don't want to mention it here... I honestly can't remember the suite number, I do remember it was on the 200 level, right behind second base. We are going to get a late start getting up there, because the wife has to work until 2:30, but we will be up there for the game at least. I'll get you the info as soon as I know for sure.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 24, 2005 -> 04:24 AM) I got mine crossed for you guys too. Opening Day is a lot of fun if the weather cooperates, and of course even better if the Sox win! We'll see you all in Milwaukee Friday nite though.

I've been up to the SkyDome and stayed at the hotel there, but it was out of season for basketball/hockey and we never got over to ACC. We did go up in the CN Tower which was really cool. I love the city of Toronto. It is so clean and the people are so nice.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 09:34 PM) Based on what I know, Yes & No. It's really a mercy factor based on a person's goodness. Terri is personified as an angelic person right now with emblemished goodness. That drives the mercy factor thru the roof. That would apply to both euthanasia & r-t-d. The greater the assumption of goodness in the person the greater the mercy factor. With abortion there is no person. There is an unborn. There is no unique personhood when it comes to the mercy factor. So the mercy factor is split. There are those Christians who can't see goodness in something as general as unborn children. There are those Christians who see even greater goodness in unborn children. That's why even though there is a split those who see the goodness are far more zealous than those who don't. The death-penalty without question has the lowest mercy factor. Few Christians can see the goodness in these persons. The Vatican basically shows unconditional goodness for all persons & unborn regardless of circumstances. That's a hard thing for the average Christian. There are those who have to search for goodness here. I'm against the d-p because I find the goodness in the innocent. The process at which someone faces the d-p is not infailable. It's wrought with error. I read reports about d-p inmates being cleared all the time. The goodness of the wrongfully accused is what drives me against the d-p. Jesus taught us pretty Clearly to show love and mercy to all. Whether they are unborn, dying, brain dead, or child murders doesn't matter. "love thine enemy as thyself."

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) Not to shift the debate here, but something I thought of: If Bush is so pro-life then why did he execute so many people in Texas without even reading the sentencing reports? And why did he sign the 1999 law that says that people on Medicaid -- the hospitals get to choose to remove feeding tubes etc. and not doctors/family members if they can't afford to keep the help going? Let's not forget the hotly contested WMD claims in Iraq where many people didn't believe but he went with his leap of faith anyway...But suddenly he wants to "err on the side of caution"? And a bit more cynical -- why don't all the conservative Christians want to see Terri Schiavo in Heaven? I would tend to agree that this case falls in line with Christian beliefs more than any death penalty case. I talked to Wino a little about this, but I believe that 4 types of cases are all basically the same idea. Death Penalty Abortion Right to Die Euthinesia They are all instances where one human has to make a judgement for the worth of the life of another human, based on mitigating circumstances. My view of Christianity is that all of these should be something that a Christian would be against, as Christ makes it very clear that we do not posess the authority to judge another human beings life.
