Anything short of a reporter shooting Kennedy would haver resulted in some conservatives claiming media bias. :headshake

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 7, 2006 -> 10:17 AM) Glad to here that. I think I rely too much on looking for green when I read this board, instead of using my knowledge of the poster. Thats why I was a bit taken aback. Actually because I do know YAS's tendencies, I thought he was either being truthful or baiting me or both I didn't know he even knew how to spell facetious

I don't like the choices I guess I should research Feingold since my previous choice Tom, The Hammer" Delay isn't running.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 7, 2006 -> 09:43 AM) Just curious but why is this topic still alive? I was steaming mad about Oz doing what he did but that was 2 days ago. Let it go! Because you just posted

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 7, 2006 -> 08:59 AM) That's like saying a pitcher has a great fastball, slider and curveball but only a decent change up. Yes it is. And notice you went great, great, great, decent. Decent not very good, excellent, or anything else. I agree with the decent. I wouldn't have gone much higher. I also believe that managers get too much blame and too much credit.

Sometimes the ball gets in the way of a great swing. Sometimes is doesn't. Sometimes the ball gets in the way of a bad swing. Sometimes it doesn't.

real me don't wear helmets Well some do . . .

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 6, 2006 -> 06:18 PM) Me and a few family members went mushroom hunting today. Probably got 55 morels. are you using GPS to mark those spots? Long story but I just heard of a guy who traded his GPS waypoints for some top morel spots for some Scouting memorabilia. The guy was moving, he had a reputation as a real fun-guy expert and someone made an offer. Some olive oil and butter heating up in a pan, adding some garlic and a little onion, perhaps some scallions, toss in some mushrooms, yummmmmy

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 7, 2006 -> 08:35 AM) That doesn't sound half bad to me. I meant for Kentucky

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 7, 2006 -> 08:26 AM) When you are talking about his handling of the pen over the cousre of a full season, the yes he is. If you are talking about "today's game" then he doesn't do what the fans thinks he should do, as misguided as the fans opinion may be. It's his weakest area as a manager. Oops, I should say discretion in public remarks is #1, on-field, managing the bullpen is his weakest area.

But Ozzie has always been great at handling the bullpen

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 7, 2006 -> 07:46 AM) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ God, I need to get home and have some pizza. I was thinking the same thing. It may be time for 1-800-Lou To Go

Just looking over the 2006 salaries, and this is in a humorous vein, and realizing . . . Show up the the park, don't bother bringing a glove, limber up a bit, take four or five trips to the plate, every other day hit one over the wall and trot, not run, around the bases, biggest decision, do I take a shower after the game or not? Financial results for Mr. Thome? 14 mil #1 on the team. Work once a week or so. Play 7 or 8 innings. Don't buy a bat. Have management hire another 6 or 7 guys to finish most projects you start. Financial results? 7 to 12 million and 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7th positions on the White Sox salary list. So 6 of the top 7 salary positions are one way players, 5 of the seven only play once a week or so. Now on the other hand, play everyday, lead off, steal bases, cover the field, and anything else they ask of you, Mr. Podsednick, work hard, and you can earn $2 million, good for 15th position on the team. I'm not criticizing, just having some fun.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ May 5, 2006 -> 11:15 AM) Truth be told that 38,000 of those posts are just "copy & paste" links from Yahoo! news. Congrats! Here's an interesting fact... If Mike had a penny for every post, he'd have over 40,000 pennies!

As a tourist, the best thing to do is hit either of the two vote leaders. They are the standard bearers of the art, and you will have had a Chicago style deep dish pizza. My preference is Lou's sausage, eaten with a knife and fork. Everyone will find a pie they like better, but if you can have just one, go with one of those two. LMAO, I knew this had to be pizza by the title.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 5, 2006 -> 05:43 PM) Apparently Law and Order is just a TV show anymore. Throw open our borders, give away our resources, and who cares anymore. The more the merrier. I guess having control over your country and the people in it is overrated anyways. Chaos and anarchy for everyone. Close the borders! Close the borders! Military Rule! Curfews! 100% Drug Tests! Work or Starve! No Social Programs! Citizenship checkpoints in every city! this is fun

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 2, 2006 -> 09:53 PM) Some of the designs Ive seen for a border wall you'd need a lot more than a ladder. Don't forget to mine the harbors in California and Texas in case they try and sneak in via boats, like the Cubans.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 2, 2006 -> 09:53 PM) Some of the designs Ive seen for a border wall you'd need a lot more than a ladder. What if we built a moat, a river, Let's call it the Rio Grande River and see how that does.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ May 2, 2006 -> 10:11 PM) But they WERE different. The Greeks didn't demand drivers tests and governmebt services in Greek. Itialian immigrants urged, in some cases demanded, thier kids be Americans, learn English and to take advantage of why they were there. You didn;t have a Chinese version of Telemundo. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your cultural heritage, but if you want to be part of the American dream, and be an American citizen, how about fitting in a little bit? If a business wishes to gain market share by speaking Spanish, Italian, Polish, or whatever, isn't that free enterprises and competition? With all the Mexican tourists down here, a store would die in a week if they didn't speak Spanish. Most of the government accomodations have come as a result of our government offering better and better service to anyone in this country. It attracts tourism for one, knowing you can have a nice vacation in America and get through our regulations. So if our government can be *more* efficient by offering a form in another language, instead of having a clerk explain something for the 20th time, or having everyone walking in have a person to assist them, isn't that better? Why can't we offer the finest in customer service from the greatest country on the planet?

Congrats on 40,000 posts.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ May 2, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) Tex, I believe this to be true, ONLY if the immigrants coming to our country truely want to be a prt of this country. There are too many hyphens around nowadays and not enough 'American'. Immigrants in the past were happy and thankful to be here, and usually did thier best to become an American, not to be a Mexican living in America. Greek Town, China Town, Little Italy I'm not so certain immigrants in the past were much different.
