QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 06:00 PM) Are you in finance or accounting? I know kap's accounting, but I was thinking you were either finance or econ. Right now I work in futures trading. I spent a few years in options. If anyone is interested, these are some of the markets I deal with http://www.cbot.com/ http://www.nymex.com/jsp/index.jsp http://www.cme.com/

QUOTE(Yoda @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) What’s wrong with your job? All you have to do is make 38.3 posts per day. That's part of the problem. I hate being slow at work. Plus the pay sucks, and there is no incentive for preformance. Actually with the bonus structure there is more incentive NOT to work.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) What you can't seem to get through that hard head of yours.. is that Belle's contract was insured SEVEN years ago. As a result of them getting hosed on that deal is has become increasingly harder and more expensive to insure contracts. And what else you're missing is the COST to the Orioles of the policy. It cost $17 million a year to insure Albert.. and at the time HE COULD STILL PLAY 100%. Maggs hasn't proven that he can jump rope... yet you think he's easily insurable.. LMAO.. Did the Sox call Geico? they could save 15% or more on insurance...

0 ... Now I am ready to be a Chicago cabbie

Well after all was said and done, 4 people never did respond to emails about their wristbands, so I did what Steff did and put them on Ebay with anything over the $2 price going to Sox charities. Here is the listing... happy bidding! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MESE:IT

I have been giving a lot of thought to that samething lately. I have basically been looking for a new job for 3 years now, but there is just nothing in the field.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) Why you gotta make a Michael Jackson reference? This thread was going along fine and you gotta make a Jacko reference. For shame. Isn't a Michael Jackson reference appropriate in a thread about creepy cartoon character pitchmen?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 01:30 PM) Good call, I hate that baby. I think it's f***ed up when they have babies talk and s*** and Bob is hitting on some girl which is just weird. But that is perfectly normal at the Neverland Ranch...

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) Sorry, but she was awesome in the Muppets Christmas special from a couple years ago. The scenes between her and Pepe were priceless. I can't help it I am helplessly in love with that damned Prawn! hahahaha Maybe inanimate objects are her genre? ANything I have seen her do with real people made me want to :puke

QUOTE(winodj @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) It's all part of my agenda. Stage one: Love the French Again. Stage two: ? Stage three: Profit! BRILLIANT!

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) The Sox would not have to risk 12M. On a contract that small they could easily take out insurance against it. The insurance probably drives the cost up to 14-15M but if Maggs can't play than the Sox only lose about 1/3rd of that. I'm sure Det has done just that for the first yr. Insurance against a preexsisting condition?

QUOTE(winodj @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 11:55 AM) You will assimilate.... or wait, will I? There are plenty of why's and how's, but in general I agree with you there. Hold me, I am afraid

Actually the victory is made more impressive when you look at some of the people on the DR's team. http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/story?id=299409

QUOTE(SuperSteve @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Yah, so what is going to be the deal this ST? I am sure he will be with the minor league camp, and will probably get some scrub innings in B games for the big club if they need extra bodies.

Wow. That's all.... wow.

I was reading on whitesox.com about the pitching staff and caught this line buried in an article I take it they are talking about Felix Diaz, right? Has anyone else heard anymore on this???? Here is the full article. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...s_cws&fext=.jsp

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) I'm sure you'll be one of the first to chug down a cold one, celebrating the good news there. Why do you think their profits were up in the first place... I am spreading the good word. BTW I did finally find out a local beer down there. how is XXXX? What type of beer is it? I was talking to our Aussie customers and they were talking about it.
