Interesting quotes in here deal with the fact that they have agreed on a term of years (with the JR phobia of longer term pitching deals) and the fact that they want to get this done "sooner versus later".

Don't worry. I don't have to have it on paper to know that I see it in my line of work everyday. Sometimes a little real life experience is worth more than a lifetime of book data. How many seventh generation welfare moms do you run into? The average welfare mother receives less than 100 dollars a month extra per child, hardly a reason to pop out babies. I'm sure there are people cheating the system, it happens everywhere. I should know, having worked in the real world too. It just seems the people who try to cheat the system more often are more well to do than a welfare mom. Like the mayor of the town where I worked retail, coming in and expecting free stuff. After all, don't you know who she is? Or the cop confiscating drugs and instead of prosecuting the dealer, traffics it himself? Or my State Rep who is also the "HR Director" of a mental health institute and draws a salary for the place he never actually works at? Corruption runs at all levels. And I see it everywhere. Sorry if I'm willing to overlook the mother bilking a couple thousand for the people I see bilking much more on a daily basis. Oh yeah, I'm not in college anymore either. Win are you from NW Indiana?

Meh, it wasn't even an interview. They quoted Frank as linking the drop in HR's to the start of steroid testing, and then Bobby Valentine trashed Frank for saying it. I guess we can count out Valentine as the Sox manager next year

Supposedly in the next segment... stay tuned.

Only the top 2 get money. So whoever wins 2 of the next 3 gets paid.

Man that is a quick turn around...Good luck.

I was just looking to see what was out there. I am not a big enough football fan to spend $100 for 2 of the worst seats in the house...

Jose had a meaningless Grand slam to make it 11-1. But it is nice to see these guys are at least going to make a shot at 2nd place.

Real good seats available too. Club level seats were on there... too bad they are $195 EACH!!!

Jon will be a fine #3 or #4 starter. He might even develop into one of those Jaime Moyer/ Greg Maddux type painters if he really has some drive.

The other interesting part of that story was Farmio eluding the fact that Pete Rose would not vote shares for anyone who wasn't with the team all year, so that it did not dilude his share. Funny how that kind of karma comes back around to bite you in the ass. And yes, good for Carl Everett. The guy has really grown on me in these few months and it is too bad that it sounds like he is not coming back here.

I agree that the French people as a whole are not saying this, but the fact that this book is such a big seller does serve as a sort of indictment of the French people. I, personally, think the French are worse than useless. But I guess being the butt of many a joke is enough to give a nation an inferiority complex. Either that or a history of surrendoring to everything in sight!

Actually off of the top of my head the top 1/5th tax bracket pays about 80% of taxes, and the bottom 1/5th pays none, IIRC.

Hmm a Franchise record for HR's? What does that get us? OH yeah NOTHING!!!

Or maybe Jerry finally realized that the guy hitting .323 should be hitting IN FRONT of the guy who hit 40 HR's?

Besides its a f***ing Urinal, flush it so the water runs out, and then play ball.

Losing 5 straight games against the Twins is something we could have controlled

SHANNON STEWART???? HE wont even get a vote. It looks like Delgado is a lock, after the 4 home runs. But the thing is with the stupid "most valuable player on a winning team" era of voting he should get more consideration, than about anyone else.

Because of travel reasons, I don't think they could make this an afternoon game. I believe it would HAVE to be a night game. And given the choice of games, I think I would watch the Bears until Farve gets them down by about 3 TD's and then go to bed...

LMAO one of my loser co-worker cub fan is at that game. I hope he is getting soaked.

Hmm...Very Interesting However I'm just not sure that JR would want a second go-around with Tony LaRussa although he would be a better option than Buddy Bell or alot of the other misfits around the league... The only reason that Tony left the first time was because of the worst GM in Sox history, Hawk Harrelson...

The western world to convert to Islam and quit supporting Israel.

I personally really like the idea of using this both for an off season sports board, and we could still have the contests over here. I would suggest even moving the NFL and NCAA contests over to this board, as they would be more appropriate here.
