  1. It sounds like the Twins are going to lose some players due to salary concerns. They might not be able to afford guys like Guzman, Guardado, and Hawkins.
  2. LOGIC HAS NO PLACE ON THESE BOARDS!
  3. He was a big time winner everywhere else he went. When he came to Manchester he took at team that was 0-10 and finished the season 4-24 and had them undefeated in the national championship game within 3 years. At SW Missouri St he took them to the big dance for the first time in their history IIRC. He has brought a lot of talent to Iowa, but injuries have just killed them, along with the Pierre Pearce scandal.

  5. Look at the ratings and you have your answer.
  6. Is there a link to this story? Just Monday KW said a slight increase...
  7. Rumor is that they are going to teach Neal the cutter. Has anyone else heard this?
  8. I agree with you. I agree with your agreement I absolutely disagree. What were we talking about?
  9. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/powerranking That playoff prediction for the Bulls doesn't seem so far fetched now... Could .500 be a more realistic goal.
  10. The New Deal was the worst thing that's ever happen to this country. It created the wonderful welfare state that we live in today. Things that were never promised under the New Deal are now "expected" to be paid for, i.e. prescription drugs, college tuition, etc. It created the "Lazy American." I'll give you that it maybe was good on it's face , but it's snowballed into a huge mistake. Mr. Republican, and YAFer? , I must totally disagree with your assessment of the New Deal, totally and categoricaly I am wondering if you are poor and a true beliver or some from money who disagrees with the New deal. I ask not to fight and have conflict, but to get a fuller picture. I am white collar but working class, from working class, in two professsons (clergy and law) with a masters degree and much expeirnece in social work. Just to share my demographic picture as I ask for your. Was raised by generations of republicans. You proclaim yourself a Republican - I am a democrat, Again, not to conflict - we all speak out of our experience and I have shared mine, am wondering as to yours to further know and repect one another. I am also in a white collar job, but really blue collar. No college. Worked construction (non-union), manager at a Home Center, drove a tractor-trailer for 3 years (also non-union). I was raised by a non voting, Democratic, Inland steel mill crane operator, union member Grandfather. NO, definitely not from money. That one makes me laugh. I commend your social work. Before someone here makes me out to be a heartless bastard, let me explain some things: I agree there are people that need welfare. I agree there are people that need social workers like you. I believe there are many people that abuse this system. I also believe that there are people that convince "victims" to go on welfare or to get govt. help when they are perfectly capable of helping themselves, and then become dependent upon that same help, which causes them to have less self worth. Many are being taught how to get money from the govt., which is fine, but we need to continue that education and teach them hoe to help themselves. How many stories have you heard. In fact, how many people on these boards have a story about how their Great Grandfather came to the U.S. with nothing and worked his ass off, and now has his own business? All on his own. No Government. No welfare. No tax subsidies. It CAN be done. Does this mean I disagree with ALL govt. assistance? No, but there needs to be tighter lid on some of the assistance we give - to our own and to other countries. Cw, I know you don't mean to conflict. You never do. You handle yourself well on these boards at all times. I consider you a friend. (Though we can't seem to ever meat up.) We get heated at times, but that's bound to happen when we believe in what we believe so strongly. I love a good debate. Wat I don't like is name calling and accusations, which happens all too often sometimes. You moron
  11. They won't let Carlos walk away for nothing. There are too many other players that can be let go first.
  12. Not to mention the fact that the White Sox gave Tony his first job in managing, or did you forget that?
  13. The 50-50's are what is served in Canada. The only time I saw it in the US it had a green label and was called Canadian Ale IIRC. They are much better than the Blue's.
  14. As long as he is suspended he isn't getting paid. And he won't get paid until he gets reinstated.
  15. Who are peoples fav teams? I follow Kentucky and Iowa because of Steve Alford. In college hoops I really don't have any big allegience, and I more root for guys I saw play in HS as sometime or follow specific coaches.
  16. Hmm I am feeling some sort of redundancy here...
