Adam LaRoche allowed to cheat?
\ QUOTE(shipps @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 09:45 AM) I just finished watching ESPN Outside the lines,and they did a story about Adam LaRoche.He has been given permission by MLB to take a banned stimulant because he has A.D.D.He was hitting like crap for the first couple months of the season,but when allowed to take the stimulant in June he has hit in the .330 range with 17 hrs.I think this could open the doors for alot players to find even more loopholes to take performance enhancing drugs and give the opportunity to come up with new excuses. Popular on the PGA tour are betablockers for high blood pressure. Amazing how many golfers have high blood pressure.

Big Hurt's revenge
QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 09:32 AM) And you're from Chicago? All things Detroit = SUCKS. I know. But I think it's better when this division gets some respect around the country and that comes with winning. The AL East never produces a team to cheer for? Yankees? Red Sox? The West coast about the same, plus how many seasons have died, in part, to the west coast swings? And to be totally blasphemas, I'll be cheering for Maggs, if they make it.

Posting Rules Still Apply
Just a reminder that the won/loss record of the team does not change posting rules and etiquette around here. No personal attacks, no death wishes, etc. will be tolerated.

Big Hurt's revenge
Go Frank. I usually cheer for the AL Central team, then the AL team. This year it will be a toss between Detroit and Oakland. I am hapy to see Detroit having a great season. They have a nice franchise, great history.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:28 AM) iPods can sense if they are being forced to interface with any of that cheap iron wintel hardware, and then they give up and die. If you were using a Mac the iPod would be happy and wouldn't commit iSuicide. That is know in scholarly circles as the "Misery Love Company Theory". And if it works for you, it is evidence that two wrongs do make a right, although, in city driving, three lefts will make a right.

What Are Your Top 10 Classic Rock Songs?
QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 11:01 PM) I'd agree to Day In The Life before I agree to anything by Marvin Gaye. Marvin Gaye is not Classic Rock. Marvin Gaye = just about perfection. You just like the name

As many as half a million dead so far in Sudan
QUOTE(longshot7 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 01:03 PM) It looks like I'm in the minority, but so what? Unless the US is being directly threatened in this conflict, we should not be involved. Same goes for Iraq. We are not the World's Policeman. How about the human race going to help other humans who are being slaughtered? When humans sit idly by and watch other defenseless humans being slaughtered, that is the beginning of the end. One thing that elevates humans past animals is empathy. Most humans have the ability to separate right from wrong. This is not a civil war, this is most analogous to cattle being slaughtered.

He hit the "I don't care, I'm throwing it out anyway, I want to take it apart and see what is inside" stage and just pried apart the case. All of a sudden it would boot again.

Norm MacDonald riffs on the Croc Hunter
QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 04:37 AM) I've always thought Norm is one of the most underated comics. Yes, I think you are correct. He always seems to make me laugh.

Put It On Shuffle
QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 09:47 AM) Ah, it was bound to happen. iPod won't power on or anything. The screen is on, but nobody is home. I played a video, the video ended, and the screen stayed on, but blank. Nothing works. Plugging into the computer doesn't do a dang thing, nothing. $400 isn't a bad price for a paperweight, is it? My son's iPod started working again after he took it apart. He didn't do anything, but all of a sudden it started working again. That trick has worked three or four times with him. Personally, I think iPods suck for quality.

NY Times gives lessons on how to shake the Feds!
The Soviet Union never had this problem. The government would just tell everyone the stories and then TAAS would report the news. No free press was needed, the government voluntarily disclosed that stuff. Too bad we couldn't be more like that. Newspapers wouldn't need confidential sources when the government starts telling us what the news really is. Once the government eliminates judges and newspapers that hinder their abilities to rule absolutely, we'll be so much happier. It worked so well in other countries. Sounds to me like they are trying to protect their sources. Sounds to me that if a whistleblower wants to come forward the newspaper will go to the wall to protect them.

What Are Your Top 10 Classic Rock Songs?
I could make another top 10 list, and be happy with it, just from some of the ones on everyone elses' list. I would say my top 3 would be Feelin' Alright - Cocker Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC Anyone of several Who tunes. Hello It's Me is an incredible pop song and worthy of top honors. I'd probably also have to pull something off Tapestry and perhaps At Seventeen or Clouds and try them all on . . . #1 Guilty Pleasure -- Brandy

I have a confession to make
In Mexico, it is common to put mayo on a hotdog. That, my friends, is really disgusting. The imagery of ketchup is one thing, but mayo dripping off a hot dog is . . .

Voters painting state blue
QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 12:14 PM) Cook County is one of 6 counties that make up the Chicago area. The metro is between 8 and 9 million, depending on what source you look at. That is 66%-75%. But the suburbs are Republican strongholds. Lake County, for example didn't relect a Dem during the 20th Century. Will, Kane, etc? All GOP land.

I've written everyone in Washington. It is embarrasing we only value human lives where we have something to gain.
