QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 11:07 AM) When there's nothing to complain about, people find a reason to complain. It's irriating and contrived. I love the fact that they are on tv which if they were not would never give rise to the hoopla that is irritating me. The Versteeg, Kane and Towes line is incredible. Sharp and Havlat are as good a second line wing combo in hockey. The defense is pretty solid and deep. The dualing goaltenders look really good. Joel and Bowman already appear to be making Detroit nervous. All reasons to be happy now stop kissing my ass as a fan it is insulting.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 02:12 PM) Cubs blogs are going nuts with a rumor that Peavy is being dealt for Theriot, Pie, and Marshall (and then Cubs would sign Furcal). Please, please don't be true! If they want Furcal they can sign him......not yet BTW.....and move either he or Theriot to second.

Anyone else getting tired of the kissing of the fans asses in the post game speech to the crowd after announcing the three stars of the game. Somehow the marketing of this team is getting to me a little. I am not sure if it is because I just think we are being treated like everyone is or what. The red carpet night and tributes to ex-players and all of the stuff. Even the skating around after the game and intermission coverage from the concourse with the doopy people in the background. The team itself is looking really good no need for the rest of that crap.

Isn't the AFL where KW decided to go after Floyd? I think he puts a-lot of faith in the AFL and is why Poreda is in the pen.

The full Fox Sports story has the A's increasing their payroll to $80M and going after Furcal for short and leadoff.

Call it all the Kool-Aid you want but Hendry has fleeced enough people in the past. Although the Marlins got him pretty good on the Juan Pierre deal.

Aaron Rodgers may throw for over 800 yards in his two games against the Bears.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 11:49 AM) She obviously works out... so does her husband, but she still looks like she could beat his ass. Ever looked at her arms? I didn't like the dress at all but she is built like a bad ass I think she really could whip is ass. She looked taller and much more built than him.

Levine has them or Atlanta getting Peavy. That payroll is going to be $200M in no time and as you see with the other teams that are trying to win with huge payrolls it doesn't necessarily work. Really sad that St.Louis and Houston have nothing to offer.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 08:44 AM) Gotta love Bob Novak. People like that should not be allowed to give a point of view as they are so jaded it is sickening.

Would the Mets sign Sabathia and try and move Johan and if so would Dye, Swisher and Vazquez fit their needs?

What happens if they go over the salary cap? Is it a luxury tax thing that they pay into or are they unable to suit players up????? Sundin would put this team right near the top with the way Barker is playing right now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 04:00 PM) For a fascinating trend...here's an NYT map breakdown by county of which areas of the country Senator McCain outperformed President Bush's 2004 numbers. Make your own assumptions about what drove this effect. Dueling banjos should play when that comes up.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 10:16 AM) Jesse Jr said last night he would not leave his current position. Jesse may get a cabinet job overseeing HUD.

Very classy speech by McCain.

He better throw out the first pitch at the cell. Olympics look good NO MORE PALIN!!!!

Grant Park looks awesome CNN projected Obama as winner!!!!!!!

NBC local news calls Obama in Indiana as he destroyed McCain in Lake County.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) For Obama? Yep Carol Marin's rant on Sequoia was great.

Save a ton of dough I got a 65" DLP for a built in wall unit and can't really tell the difference with the 48" LCD I have. Most poeple can not tell the difference between the two and it was about $1,000 less.

They are building a compound over there. It is going to be an event to end all events if he wins.

QUOTE (Steff @ Oct 30, 2008 -> 02:59 PM) Maybe a little. I had no idea one could see Russia from Alaska. Watch the Deadlist Catch, Mike Roe will tell you this often while looking at the radar map of where the boats are.

QUOTE (Steff @ Oct 30, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) I'm aware of that however you have to be licensed to own the business. I believe you have to be licensed to be bonded and insured as well as being part of the union. I think he could own the business but would not get any type of work as he can not be insured and that is not who you want working on your home/business.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Oct 30, 2008 -> 02:50 PM) Educational opportunity for the kids. Seems like Obama would want to do the same thing, unless Obama is against kids coming to his rallys. There is no educational opportunity in listening to Palin speak unless you want to hear about how bad the next 4 years will be if Obama wins and how unAmerican you are if you are not agreeing with her policies. Not to mention she will tell the Solar Power folks to give it up as oil is where it is at You betcha there is educational value there.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 30, 2008 -> 01:50 PM) Palin at Solar Power Plant: Drill, Baby Drill D'OH! Again, she can not go away soon enough. If she is relevant any time after next Tuesday this country is seriously f***ed.
