And if you can't jump to the past with your 20-20 hindsite vision and fix things, you also suck.

No surprise at all. The 2004 payroll was about $13 million over the 2003 payroll. Hmmm coincidence?

There are already NFL rumors with Ferenez all over them...

The league sounds really cool, but it is going to be way to involved for me. I was thinking it would be more like fantasy baseball, but the sheer amount of detail that is being bantered about would be too much for me. I don't want to drag everyone else down. Have fun guys, it sounds awesome.

And I would still argue that biblically, homosexuality is no different than any other sin. Priests by their very nature are sinners. If we expected them to have no sins, there would be no elders. The focus on homosexuality dispite the other sins the church condones borders on herocy. The church now condones divorce despite the very obvious biblical verses against it. I honestly believe the schisms over the subject are taking away from God's ultimate message of love.

Hey guys, I am going to have to drop my team. The more I look at this, the more I am not going to be able to give it the time it needs. So the Cubs are available. Just go ahead and delete me. Sorry guys, but this is better than me doing a half assed job.

They tried that in the preseason, and still no one cares

See to me this is all circular logic that refuses to accept any blame. Gee if Ron Artest's mom didn't have any sex, Artest would have never gone into the stands. Everyone should be responsible for their own actions in this. Artest made the decesion to go into the stands, no one else made it for him. Heck players have had beers spilled on them for generations now, it doesn't mean that gives the player a free ticket to kick his ass. And on the otherside fo the coin, just because you buy a ticket to a game, it doesn't mean you are in some kind of a rules free zone. As I said before, the NBA players have gotten their justice doled out. Now I hope to see the police and the Pistons do the right thing to the fans, and both have their tickets revoked, and to see them charged with every applicable law there is.

That's cute

This is another great opportunity to plug "Consipracy" Sunday nights at 9pm CST on the History Channel. This weeks episode was the the death of Princess Di. This is a must see show for anyone who is into this kind of stuff.

Easy. The team can refuse to ever sell him a ticket again.

If you really want to join, you can take the Cubs. I am playing, but if people REALLY want to play, I would give up my team.

I agree with that 100%. Revoke his season tickets, and charge him with every criminal offense possible. He is at least as responsible as Artest is. And hopefully the tickets belong to his company, and he loses his job just like Artest basically has(well for a year anyway). Honestly I am pissed off that the Pistons haven't made a bigger deal about these people losing their tickets and being procecuted. Fans like that are part of the problem in today's sports scene. Artest and the rest of them got their punishments, now it is time for the idiot fans to get theirs as well.

Now hopefully he gets his season tickets revoked, and they sue the s*** out of him for this. http://www.clickondetroit.com/sports/3938054/detail.html

Bull's complete stat package

Wow, now that's bulls***. Guess that means it has to be a write in campaign.

It makes me feel better about the Sox getting a deal done when the other rumors start. KW usual finds a way to get the guys he wants, and he likes to keep it on the down low.

Getting ready for Soxfest

James Daniel "Bull" Bullard LHP 6'7" 235 lbs Jim was drafted by the White Sox in the 9th round of the major league draft, out of UC Santa Barbara. He was signed by the Sox and sent to their short season A league team in Bristol. At Bristol Jim made only 4 starts (completing 1) covering 20 IP (striking out 31 batters)and a 3.00 era, before getting a promotion to the Kannapolis Intimadators. At Kannapolis Jim made 8 more starts, holding his era at 3.00 in 45 IP of work. Between the two teams Jim's WHIP was only a hair over 1.00, a really impressive number for his first year in professional baseball. 2002 saw Jim move up the ladder to high A ball at Winston Salem. Jim was 9-8 with an impressive 3.32 era striking out 89 in 143 IP. Bull also had some hardware to be proud of in 2002 being picked for the Carolina League All Star team, being honored as the Warthogs pitcher of the year, and even getting 2 innings of work in the Hall of Fame game at Cooperstown against the Colorado Rockies. His impressive season at WS got Jim a late season call up to the Birmingham Barons. In a short stint at AA, Jim was 0-3 with a 4.50 era in 20 IP 2003 had Bull return to Birmingham for the whole year, but saw Bull moved mostly to the pen, where the White Sox thought his future might be with the big club. Becoming the true definition of a grinder, Jim did everything from starting, spot starting, long relief, and even some closing. Bull made 53 appearences on the season which was good for #5 in the southern league. His final season numbers were solid again, ending up with an 8-4 record in 90 1/3 IP which also included 3 saves. It was good enough for ondeckbaseball.com to rate him as the Sox #22 pitcher in their minor league system. 2004 was another solid year for Bull, in which he continued his streak of never having a full season era over 4.00. Jim finished 8-4 with a 3.47 era which was good enough for 7th overall in the Southern League. Once again Bull's versatility was on display for all as he filled any role that his team asked of him, as he racked up 37 appearences, including 15 starts. 2005 Outlook. Jim has flown under the radar for many fans, not putting up huge numbers at any stop, and not having a huge fastball or the similar to make the fans at large drool. But what he has done is succeed and put up good numbers at every stop he has made in the minors. Jim has filled any role at any time, and has done well at doing it. For guys like this, all they really need is a chance. I would guess that Jim will be leading a staff at Birmingham again this year, with an outside chance at filling in his jack-of-all-trades job at AAA Charlotte, if he can open some eyes at spring training. Jim features a fastball of 86-91, a change that works 75-77, a slider, and a cutter that he just began to use at the end of 2004. That cutter could also be a weapon that could get him some notice, as a few Sox pitchers have learned it and exploded on the scene, such as Mark Buehrle and Esteban Loiaza. And most importantly, there will always be a market for left handed pitching who can get guys out. Personally I feel Jim Bullard would make an interesting sleeper pick for 2005-2006 out of the Sox system.

So what did you all think of the new system vs the old?

It isn't legal. Baseball teams cannot be used to fund hockey teams, and vice versa. All of the major sports have rules and by-laws against it.

You'd be getting the s*** sued out of you by now [/slamdunk]

The rules of each of the respective league's prohibits it.
