QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 11:41 AM) If you're that much bettter than the other team, it's a no win situation. If you take a knee, it's like taking pity on the other team and it comes across as arrogant. If you continue to score, it's seen as running up the score. The bigger issue for the better team, especially at this point in the season, is balancing playing your starters, keeping them sharp, and potentially running up the score or resting your starters at the risk of hurting your team's chances in the next round.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 11:55 AM) The question is going to be is Rowand worth 12 million to the Sox? Or is Hunter worth 15 million to the Sox? Those are all questions Kenny will answer for us, shortly. Is the question ever which guy will make us a better team?

Thank you. Great analysis

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 07:19 AM) When was the last time the Sox were outwardly looking to spend huge dollars on a FA? Its been a while. It will be more interesting what the under the radar moves are... Bingo! I have total faith that Hunter will be running around center field at the Cell next season. I just think it is a very low chance it will be in a White Sox uniform.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 10:02 AM) Especially when you consider Guillianis abortion stance, and the fact that Romney has flipped flopped on this issue. And looking at the polls is what made me question how important it has become in the GOP.

I hold my breath, waiting for Nantucket Responsibility? I will simply duck it

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 08:53 AM) And it only highlights the endorsement further for Thompson anyway. Makes the story linger. Is Pro-Life that important of an endorsement anymore?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 12:34 AM) Dan Patrick was discussing running up the score the other day after the Patriots scored like 50+ points. What's more embarassing, a team scoring 50+ points on you, or a team taking a knee? I think the team taking the knee. I could not imagine having a kid all alone, heading towards the end zone and then stops and takes a knee. I am guessing, based on this team's successes through the years, this is not the first time this team has faced blowing teams out by huge margins and he must be doing something right, the other coaches do not seem to complain.

Last night as I shuffled off to bed thoughts of this thread played all in my head a topic we have not started before B4! Bingo cried Jim from the Florida old men's store

Have you seen any changes in mental health care in your years of service? Are we doing enough? What is the general attitude regarding the Army's efforts in this area?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 07:48 AM) So do they actually have some proof or is this just slander? They would say it was idle speculation, but slander works.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Nov 14, 2007 -> 03:37 PM) So you guys can vouch for the site's legitimacy? I'm sort of worried about getting ripped off. I've bought a few things from them and all transactions have been perfect. The shipping may kill you on cheap items, so watch for that. I picked up a certain brand of hiking socks I like at about 75% off, but with shipping, it would not have made sense to only buy one or two pairs.

McCain not happy with the biased liberal media hack job

You are correct, I was being too optimistic. I think the delta between the worst days in a major US city, and the best days in many Iraq cities, are pretty close. But averaging over a week or month and I am wrong.

Sadly, I think a lot of people that will point to the character flaws would be attacked as religious whack jobs. I have done my best to separate her actions from her husbands. I truly believe she would not take a backseat to him, and would be her own person as president. But looking at the kinds of problems with her campaign, and the questionable ethics, I have to say no thanks to her.

Here is one crazy little circle we have going, and why this is going to be ugly for a long time. We're losing this war, let's get the hell out and let the chips fall where they may. We're winning this war, hurray let's get out. Mission Accomplished. We're losing this war, we need to stay the course and get the job done. We're winning this war with the surge, we need to stay the course and get the job done. If someone is of the opinion we should leave, it doesn't matter if we are winning or lose, and same for staying. Plus, we have no way to knowing what an acceptable level of violence is for Iraq. It's like we're starting with the street crime in Washington D.C. and trying to turn it into Andy Griffin's Mayberry. It ain't going to happen. That is an impossible reduction of violence. If we reported gang crime in NY, LA, Houston, or Chicago like the Iraq War, many days it will look pretty similar.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 14, 2007 -> 08:36 AM) Yet another reason why Rudy does not need to win the nomination. Its like electing another Clinton with all of the personal problems and scandals bubbling under the surface, to go along with the shifting morals and platforms. Please no. I honestly would not vote in a Rudy v. Hillary contest. I'm taking character pretty seriously this go around, which is why I'm sitting on McCain right now.

Nice way to rasie money. I hope Macey's, Apple, and the other advertisers are solidly behind this.

Seriously, I wonder how many illegals would have actually went and got one. There would be a risk for either course of action. Personally, I never liked the idea. Stuff like this diverts attention away from real solutions. We need a guest worker program, tied to job creation, and then stuff like drivers licenses are not even an issue.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 01:09 PM) I like their coach's attitude toward it. Both coaches had excellent attitudes, and it was 11 on 11. I was a little uncertain about taking a knee at the 5 when you could have scored a touchdown. That seemed a little cheesy. But the usual things a coach will do to not run up the score, lineups and play callings were already done.

Thank God that natural born Americans have never been convicted of spying for foreign governments. This will be an interesting trick

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 02:24 PM) I know this much. If it wasn't for meat, my father's family would have starved in the 30's (Dad was born in '33) ... He, as a lad, learned the importance of not taking his shot until he knew that shotgun shell would put meat on the table. Rabbit, squirrel, quail ... whatever ... he had to make sure of his shot. And yes, at 5 or 6 years old he was putting meat on the table. I'll bet you and your dad had a lot of great conversations.
