QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 06:48 AM) I'll take you up on your offer. I just decided I can use a new sig. I'd like it to include Bmac and Cotts due to their Soxtalk connection. I'd also like the Sox logo incorporated into it along with the 'word' YASNY. What do you think? I hate to see your sig go. That's always been one of my favorites.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 05:04 PM) If I was a boss I would definitely want to interview the person face to face to get a better idea of the person. If I was looking for a job, I would imagine an over the phone interview would be much easier. You could do it in your PJs. The phone is just the next step. It keeps going and going with a lot of companies. Monster/career builders/hot jobs = 1,000s of applicants Committee/recruiter/HR whittles it down to dozens Phone interviews whittle it down to ten or so Rounds of committee interviews to two or three Someone pulls a name out their ass

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 09:23 AM) As a rule, the MSM doesn't want to hold anyone accountable for anything, to be honest. That would require WORK, something that the "press" doesn't know how to do anymore. There seems to be an economic incentive to just repeat the party lines and watch their viewership, and incomes, rise. We are demanding stories that we like, all they have to do it take a press release and print / show / read it. Because that seems fair and balanced. When we start doing that, we achieve fair and balanced by running a GOP ad next to a Dem ad. Then we are screwed but everyone is happy.

It's all about space to play and dollars in the big leagues. B-ball is king in most city neighborhoods where open space is limited. Football still attracts HS athletes because of the social cache of being on "the team". Baseball has been overlooked for a long time. How many black Hawks are there?

QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 07:50 AM) I don't drink. LOL Now I want to change my whole paper now since I read it all over again and againg. So I am trying to decide what I should actually put in my paper. Do you have any suggestions? I would never back up on a paper like this, just plow on and complete it as best you can. All those papers are really meaningless in the grand theater of life. Posts here, are actually more important

QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 07:06 AM) Hey I already met Steff and she said I am hysterical because I shouldn't take everything so personal on soxtalk. I met Knightley, Soxpranos, and a guy who used to be a member of soxtalk called Anthrax. You have to quit hanging out in bars How's our paper coming along?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 08:27 PM) When I see bulls***, I call bulls***. :headshake And now that has expanded to when you can't see the truth

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 06:25 AM) So what is the URL for your blog chronicling the lies of the evening news? The irony is while the left is fixated on Fox News, you never hear them questioning the "MSM" do you? Do you see liberal blogs that talk about the truth in the evening news? Nope guess what, they accept what they want to hear as fact, and don't question it either. The difference is that once again, the focus isn't there, its only the latest thing that Fox News, or Rush Limbaugh said. I'm not fixated on Fox, in fact I watch their morning show now. What I am fixated on is the campaign to eliminate a free press and turn it into propaganda machines for either party. When we have news outlets that are just mouthing one or the other party lines, we lose an important mechanism that keeps out country great. What I see is conservatives demanding news that caters to them, and makes the GOP look good. That is such a devestating technique, Dems will follow, and then we are screwed. No independent press, just a conservative and a liberal press, both at the extremes. Currently every mistake by the GOP that is reported is blamed on a liberal media bias. The GOP can do no wrong. Next, every Dem mistake will be blamed on a conservative media bias. Then we won't be putting up with bad government, we'll be demanding it. :headshake

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 08:52 AM) Wake up? Bulls***! I picked up on the fact that the media had a liberal bias when I was in junior high school. The way things are now, we are FINALLY getting both sides of the issues and the stories. In general, the media is more balanced than it's ever been. The problem with that is the liberals yearn for the good old days of pure liberal bulls*** being rammed down our collective throats. Well once again you just can't discuss this without resorting to bulls*** and stuff. Keep demanding your biased, slanted news and keep believing that's best for America. :headshake Thank God republican politicians figured out the media was biased, funny that the public never did. Greatest.capaign.strategy.ever. no criticism ever. keep living in your conservatives are perfect and liberal is bulls*** world.

I don't judge a posters words by the color of their skin . . .

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 06:21 AM) The problem with this article is that the author is taking all the expressions literally. When a coach tells you to keep you eye on the ball while hitting, what he is actually wanting you to do is keep your eye on it as long as possible. When he says 'get under the ball' in the outfield, he wants you get to the general area in time to make necessary adjustments. The expressions get the point across a lot better than the alternative suggested by this guy and therefore are more effective from a coaching standpoint. This is just media bias against baseball coaches
