Being liked doesn't make you an effective manager...

Smart kids. They could teach Frank and Mark something about talking to the media

Yeah, I need to know when to take a vacation

I wasn't trying to indict EBay or anything, but he did take advantage of of vulerabilities in EBay's system, combined with peoples greed to pull this off.

Hmm how about 2 days ago?

You mean despite Manuel wanting him to concentrate on hitting the ball the other way?

But attendance has a direct correlation on most of the other revenues, such as parking, concessions, souveniers, etc...

Raf you do realize that if the US hadn't intervened during the Brazilian economic crisis, there wouldn't be much left of the Brazilian economy to worry about? You do realize that the American economy is the biggest net buying of Brazilian products in the world right? You do realize how much military aid that Brazil depends on from the US right? Brazils whole economy is based on the US, without it, there would be no prosperity at all in Brazil. To single out one industry as protectionist is short sighted. Are you telling me that the Brazilia government isn't subsidizing any industries that are undercutting American products and putting Americans out of work???

We made a profit in 2002. The basis of the assumption is that other operating costs (ie nonpayroll) didn't go up at a rate that is out of whack with inflation (which is near zero right now) If you increase your bottom line with 20% more people, with all people paying 20% more to be there, then we should be able to stomach a 20-25% increase in payroll.

In reality, the payroll should be at least $70 mil, if this year was $55 mil. Realize that we had a 20% increase in attendance, plus a 20% increase in ticket prices. There is no reason, other than profit taking for the payroll not to exceed what it was this year.

But career numbers justify all slumps and bad seasons...

yet another guy who refuses to play for us.

Reading what he said the Trib today, he knows.

So why doesn't he use consistancy and apply this to the players who really need to be called out????

We could still get 87

And I do know this for a fact...

Is it wrong for me to admit that I almost laughed in the movie when people were jumping off the Titanic and hitting the rudder of the ship. Cmon.....they hit the metal with a DUNG and started spinning. When I saw the movie in the theaters I had to honestly bite my lip to resist laughing Phew.. I'm not the only sick f***. I was cracking up at that scene... Needless to say, that date didn't go over well. Jeez. you guys are ICE cold It must have been a laugh riot when you guys saw Shindlers List.. No laughing, just making out

Yes this is true, about "Let it Be". Supposedly they wanted to go into the studio and make an "old" Beatles album without all of the studio effects BS. But after they broke up the record company went ahead and did it anyway. I can't wait to get this CD.

Happy B-day old lady Enjoy 30 and give the warnings of what to watch out for

Next thing you will tell me you never played Pong...

LMAO, come on man. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? Man I feel old...
