I think they should take Wilfork, but hearing Angelo talk about ATrain, think they draft Jones if he is available.

Jimenez and Rowand? How about the terrible starts of Buehrle, Koch, Konerko, Thomas etc...

a google search using images works well.

You can't give a guy playing full time for the time in his career that little time. He needs at least 200 ABs before you can cast the guy off.

If there is one thing that I have learned in my 30 years on the planet is those who don't know, label.

Barnett is done. They have to fire him.

BTW I was just looking on the official site, at their pictures. I can't remember what idiot columnist said Jerry wasn't there, but...

Hell I could be a completely irrational asshole with no basis in facts or any consistancy.

And that's why God gave us CD's. Sports radio in Chicago is a joke.

Exactly. There is a reason I haven't paid for a ST in years. And won't. And I have seen Around the Horn all of once.

Meanwhile contributing to his ratings... Turn it off, if you want him off of the air. Period.

Why waste your time listening to this clown. You could be doing much more exciting things like scraping gum from under tables at McDonalds, or watching paint dry.

I learned a lot of respect for Mr Buffett during the internet-tulip craze. He was one of a very VERY VERY few people who outwardly spurned the irrationalness of it all, and stayed the course of his investing style. And of course guess who was at the top of rate of returns for 2002-2003? Berkshire Hathaway anyone?

Wilfork.

The legendary irrational exuberance speech, really came out of no where. Greenspan was giving a speech at the American Enterprize institute when he uttered those words and sent the Dow into a 500 point heart attack, which at that time was about 10% of the market value of the Dow Jones. He connected the equity levels to a situation like Japans where everything was a house of mirrors, inside of a house of cards. This is the full speech if you are interested Irrational Exuberence Yes the NASDAQ peaked at 5000+, but for a recovery you have to look at where it bottomed out. It bottomed out at about 1140, in the middle of 2002. Currently we are at about 2100 again, after getting as high as about 2200 or so. In other words the techs have doubled after bottoming out. That is way past the definition of a bull market. And yes I personally feel that it is overvalued. These are still companies with rediculous PE ratioes. Military spending directly related to post terrorism is directly responisible for about 40% to half of the deficit right now. But realize the military spending has been a huge benefit to this economy right now. Think about the jobs that the military complex creates. All of those million dollar missles, and billion dollar planes have to come from somewhere. I would tend to argue that with out the increase in military spending this economy would still be flat to in recession.

BTW I went back and looked it up and the irrational exuberance speech was made on December 5, 1996. WAAAAY before the stupidity of the tulip bulb tech rally.

Greenspan was predicting the fall of the economy in 1999. Equity prices were too far out of line and he kept stating and stating it. Remember "irrational exuberance"? That was back in the mid 90's. The Bull market isn't on the horizion, it has been here for months. Look at the markets. They are way up. The Nasdaq is back to borderline stupid levels again. The Manufacuring index announced today was up again. They also revised up the January numbers. Industry is producing. The next step is hiring. And it always takes a lag for that to happen. And as for terrorism, that is the X-factor. You can't predict that. And you can't factor that into your economic forcasts.
