QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 12:40 PM) Went to the Dells. Where did you stay?

Texan for McCain, oh yeah, he was President also.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 12:08 PM) When those mistakes are never acknowledged by anyone there's a big f***in problem. And what is the problem? What should be the final outcome of the Jenna 6?

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 11:48 AM) I don't know if it's the same owners, but I was thinking of the Pat's on Sheffield just south of Belmont by the Vic Theatre. Mmmmm. Nope, different owner. They both have been around for a long time.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 11:46 AM) Well there's always this old thread as well. Pat didn't write this one..is that any better?? What point are you trying to make? Yes, occasionally there are mistakes and what on the surface is blamed for racism, turns out not to be. Rejoice and be glad. But to believe there is no racism in America is wrong.

If there was, I think Clinton would have used it to bail out of the Lewinsky affair. It was my dooooouble . . .

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 17, 2008 -> 03:53 PM) me neither. But I know it pissed off the Sox Boras always seems to have the top top shelf free agents we probably would never sign. Easier to paint him the villian. Not that he's all wrong, but the Sox management has a great cover.

One thing I think we all can agree on, last November would have been the best time to make a change if one was coming. Once the hitters report, I believe you keep the staff until the season is over. A mid season change in hitting coach just isn't worth it.

I've been looking at the t-mobile Dash, anyone have one, comments? Other PDA phones? I'm looking to snyc with Outlook, and do not seem to need a crackberry, but would consider it if I saw some feature that I could not live without. Basically I'm in my home office most of the time, it is only when I'm in meetings I need to add appointments, look up contacts, etc. I'd also like a to do list that is easy to use. I just don't think I would be sending emails and surfing the web.

half hour hard on my bike. Even though we are having some great weather, somehow putting it on the wind trainer, plugging in the iPod and riding seems easier.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 10:40 AM) because no buyer has ever sent a bad check or money order to a seller. The seller waits until it clears. Then if it is a bad Money Order or check the buyer gets a non payment ding.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 10:51 AM) Yeah...don't focus on the story or anything... He does have an agenda, like it or not, that is part of the story.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 10:41 AM) Past season. If you want to give Greg Walker all of the blame for the Sox poor hitting last year, you're going to have to give him all of the credit for their great hitting in 2006. fair enough, here's some bags to help with your packing and in the envelope you'll see the credit for all the good you did.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 10:22 AM) I understand he's not the President, but you'd think the VP could get his name spelled right after 7+ years in office! Oops, John Chaney

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 16, 2008 -> 06:34 PM) Personally I'd rather move Fields and Contreras elsewhere for a starter (not necessarily in the same deal) but if you packaged Fields with some prospects you could get a very good starter in return, and than move Contreras off the books which would enable you to resign Crede to a 3 year 21M deal with incentives that could push it into the 30-33M range. I don't know if that is not enouhg money for Crede, but I think it would benefit the Sox (but that is because I would do almost anything to get another starter here and Jose elsewhere). While the team can not "go around the player's agent" I believe the agent is bound to present all offers to his client. If Joe wants to test the waters, he should. It is not like the team would hang on to him if they had a better option.

QUOTE(striker62704 @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 10:05 AM) I'm sure this has been posted before, but I wanted to bring it up again. http://www.baseball-reference.com/w/walkegr01.shtml Doesn't make any sense. His highest batting average was .294. His highest obp was .346. He shouldn't be instructing. If performance was the key, Tiger Woods would be the greeatest golf coach in the world and not need an instructor. Just like Tony LaRussa credits time on the bench with becomong a great manager, so too can guys who do not have the natural gifts and have to work at it. The main reason Walker should not be coaching is the results with the hitters over the past couple seasons and the lack of success throughout the system.

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 11:40 PM) What's next, The Bobby Knight Hunting Show? "Listen up you little s***s, today, lesson one: We're going to learn how to shoot at the neighbors and blame it on our hunting partner." Episode One's guest star Dick Chaney . . .

There will never be a good "best of all time" claim in a team sport, nor in most individual sports. Given time to prepare, the 72 Dolphons would be competitive with any team of the past ten years. They still block and tackle the same. Toss in some new rules, new interpretations of old rules, etc and they would need some time to adjust, but all great teams adjust or they would not have that level of success. Plus these guys are like 60 years old now, it would take a year of liftign weights to even come close.

Awesome

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2008 -> 09:16 AM) I don't know what the instant negatitve sentiment is for some, but to see a young guy bust his ass over the off season and make a committment to baseball excites me. Hell think how much different this franchise would have looked if Brian Anderson had done this two years ago. Nick Massett coming into camp ready to go gives us another electric arm as an option in the pen, or maybe even starting. Great points. If that spirit catches on, this could be a very good season.

There are always multiple sides to every story. It is a terrible disservice to actual victims of injustice when anyone pretends to be a victim. Two wrongs do not make a right. We must guard against painting too broad a stroke with that brush.

After hundreds of projections, I don't have to even look to know the comments. If they project a great season, they are geniuses, if they project terrible, they are idiots. You gotta play the games Anything can happen, and usually does. Being right more than 50% of the time is flat out great and makes you a nice living in Vegas.

Enjoy every stage, they grow up so fast.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 17, 2008 -> 11:26 PM) i usually just say something like... "so there's this white sox message board that i go to and ..." except usually i'm cut off with a resounding chorus of "wow, you're a loser" When they call me a loser, I whip out my post count And confirm it

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 12:53 AM) I finally found a reason to vote for Hillary. Sorry Barack. I do like seeing the kids involved. And great use of "change" in the song. Also, looking over some of the coverage and campaign spots, I noticed I like her a lot more when "he's" not around. So for at least this voter, the campign would do better to provide some distance from "him". And Obama isn't do any favors by having Ted Kennedy campaign for him. Not certain that's going to help him in my eyes. But I will try to get over to the Obama rally Wednesday.
