QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) Are the word-linked ads on the front page new? No, they've been around of hours, which is like a year in human years, which is seven dog years, which is 1/3 of Vick's sentence.

Steroids, HGH, and the HOF
QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 13, 2007 -> 11:45 AM) Hopefully, 30% or so of the HOF voters will be angry enough that this will be exactly what they do with anyone accused. Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey Jr. May wind up as the only 2 big bats going into the HOF from this entire era. And I for one wouldn't complain at all. Just think what their numbers might have been had they not been facing juiced up pitching while they were clean. that you are correct on Thomas and Griiffey

To all my Democratic friends: Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. To all my Republican friends: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Michael Vick Accepts Plea Deal Per ESPN
QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 12, 2007 -> 12:25 PM) I don't know what a "verticle" is, but it sounds gross. I'm just giving you crap. There is a sliding scale. I agree, but I picture some guy in 1957 hearing that someone lost $140 mil and will spend two years in jail and he'd probably think it was crazy. So what will we think is crazy in 50 years, besides Mike's 10,000,000 post

Which AL Central lineup to you fear more?
The lineup I fear the most is Chicago's, by a wide margin. I do not worry about what the other teams have going in.

Fukudome to the Cubs
When every single CF signs and is "over paid" guess what? That's the market. That isn't overpaid, that is the current price. Anderson and count the money! Rest easy we're in fourth place but haven't signed any bad contracts

4.75 of 5 completed. Part of my Lit final was outside of class. About an hour of class left for this semester, then four weeks of break. I'm also taking two weeks vacation, so they next couple of weeks should be sweet.

Michael Vick Accepts Plea Deal Per ESPN
QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 11, 2007 -> 08:56 AM) That's the key. He didn't just kill dogs, though to do so for no good reason would be bad enough. This was the systematic abuse and torture of the animals. My original comment was, as a society, we have changed in the past 50 years. Is this where it ends, with dogs and cats, or does it get expanded? If two dogs are naturally fighting in your neighborhood, will we someday be held responsible if we do not try and stop it? Again someone worrying about the a-bomb getting dropped from Russia With Love, would find it unbelievable that a guy would lose $140 million dollars and spend two months in prison over dogs.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Dec 11, 2007 -> 02:09 AM) you now have the right to do any or all of the following 1. b**** as much as possible (I'd expect way more than this) 2. Freak out on your teacher for being a meanie/inconsiderate asshole (whichever suits the situation better) 3. Get as drunk as possible (and then come posting on here) 4. pretty much anything else I am waiting for him to post grades and see if he reconsidered one of my papers.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Dec 10, 2007 -> 03:56 PM) Comparing dog fighting to mouse traps? Fifty years ago dogs did not have much standing. We have extended legal protection to animals, I wonder how far it will go. You can shoot some animals for sport some of the year but not others. We can shoot some birds for sport some of the year, but not others and still other birds may never be shot. You may catch some fish during some of the year, but not others. So mammals, birds, fish, are being protected with jail a possible outcome. Why not rodents? I'm with most of y'all around here that it is a despicable act, but thinking about the carnage we inflict on animals, why are dogs singles out for extra protection? Dairy cows are bulldozed into the ground when their milk output declines to where it costs too much to feed them. We do not process sick or injured animals for market, so many are killed and never used. It just seems all too random and inconsistent.

It's sad when you're at a baseball game and realize that you'll never have the money, status or talent that the guys on the field take for granted. And it gets even worse when the grounds crew gives way to the players.
