QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) I was typing so fast I forgot an important word - boiling it all down, his dad just got out of the hospital a week ago and now he and his wife have split up. OMG, I'm so sorry. And if I was you, I would (beside being much better looking) be really pissed that didn't wait until after the wedding.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 10:04 PM) I need to tell my husband to be how to tell me something that is potentially earth shattering for him. It's not when you are flying out the door to go to work lol. Apparently the reason his truck has been here isn't because they need to keep him from driving, he and the second mrs are no longer. No idea what happened when, but there are now 16 people who said they are going to our wedding in 29 days that are no longer invited. I really liked her and her family. Well, I wonder what the heck else will happened before Brain and I say our "I do's." I can usually follow the ramblings of anyone, but huh?? QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) Be careful with online logo design places. They may give you something that looks great, but be a b**** to print. I own a printshop and have to deal with a wide range of things brought in to me from the extreme beginner designing a full color lettehead in Powerpoint, to the 'professiona' online design houses. I am doing one now from an online place. They designed the lady a 2-color, 2 sided business card, using 2 non-standard colors, bleeds on all 4 sides, flood printing on the back and used 6pt type on the front. Gonna cost her over $200 for 1000 cards! And then letterhead and envelopes, oh man. For the one Tex mentioned, just beware of thier starter package. It says 'unlimited colors', so alot of people go for the gusto and add lots of color. But remember, color costs more to print. Business cards can be had cheaply, but letterhead and envelopes in color are pricy. If you have an idea of what you want, I can get you a one or two color logo designed for about $100. And I take into consideration the fact that you need to PAY to print things with it. If you are not that sure what you want, show me what you like, and what you don't like, and we could go from there. Oh, and good luck with the company! Correct all the way and thank you for elaborating.

It sucks. What us really bad is I'll be looking at it for at least a week or so.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 04:56 PM) Let me get this straight, Ozzie is supposed to start players who probably have mean hangovers and risk an injury to one of them? Ever try to play a sport with a hangover? I hope this line up uses this as motivation and crushes the Tribe tonight. Drinking is for starters, all the rest of you put down the drinks When teams no longer play to win, the integrity of the league suffers. Y'all can have your opinions, but when teams don't play to win, the game becomes a scripted joke, like wrestling. Hey, I like the Indians better than the Red Sox, so I'm going to take the bottom 9 guys and start them. Jordan + "flu symptoms" = 60+ two or three times. I'm all for resting starters, just not all on the same night. I'm not saying go balls out, but have some balls. If it doesn't matter how we play, why not just forfeit? f*** Boston and NY, they control their own destiny.

QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) Congrats on the woman finding a stable job! On a completely different topic -- I am in the process of starting my own company and am in desperate need of a logo for the website/letterhead/business cards. A friend told me that I could go to www.sitepoint.com and set up a contest for around $60 bucks and get a pretty decent logo -- evidently he had better luck than I did. Seriously -- all I got was stuff that looked like a 10 year old had used some clip art with sans-sariff text -- they were horrible. Anyway, my main question to you guys is if anyone knows if there are any other site like this and, if so, how much something decent would run me. Thanks! BD There are quite a few sites that will make "logo kits" for under $100. LogoLoft is one such company. Check out a few, see how many revisions, choices you will be allowed. You may also go to the "How does this work" forum here, we have some excellent graphics guys here who could probably get you something good for a fair price. When it is time to order cards, etc, I've been using Vista Print and love the work and the prices are nice. After you are a customer, their specials cannot be beat.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) Does anybody know a Red Sox message board? We should break the news to them about the lineup. talksox.com It's an integrity of the game issue. One that the NBA dealt with when they put in the lottery. It was a joke down the stretch prior to the lottery when teams rested starters for the final week or two while jockying for better draft position. Once teams stop playing to win, the integrity of the game comes into play. Maybe Ozzie is losing so he can set up a different opponent in the first round? Once you call into question if a team is trying to lose or trying to win, the sport has a problem far worse than steroids. How about Sunday if a loss would place the AL in a three way tie. If Oz rested all his starters, would that be ethical? It would be better to play Crede who has been off, Carl who is finally swinging, Gooch who just had a day off, possible Uribe, and Pods for whatever reason Oz has. Give the other guys a rest. Reverse it for Saturday, and see if Sunday's game matters.

No, every team has to respect the game and always play to win. If teams were allowed to take the night off, baseball would be like wrestling (the WWF variety). We'll see how Ozzie does the rest of the series. Maybe it's day off tonight and they'll play all weekend. I would reject the counter argument of everyone on a MLB roster is a ML player and capable of winning the game. Every fan knows these guys are not as good as the guys they are replacing.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 08:19 AM) The question is, how much of that would have been true if the Hurricanes had been reversed... Yes sir, think of all the needless pain and angst that could have been avoided if New Orleans had the shining Lone Star example to emulate. Seriously, that is 99% of the difference. People saw what *could* happen and hauled ass. There would have been problems if there was no recent example of the devastation.

I'd love to see Boston and Cleveland go 2-1 this weekend. A three-way tie would be so sweet, and fun to watch. Burn those arms.

Just call Ozzie and tell him about your friend and I'm certain he'll do all he can to win a game. Keep guys healthy, rested, give the September call ups plenty of ABs, and get ready for Tuesday. These guys are smart enough to know the next three games are nothing but Spring Training Part 2. Tell the Tribe fans we mailed in the last three and would have kicked their ass if it mattered. There is no reason to worry about these games. These aren't little leaguers.

Yo, JR. You do frickin' lose, along with every Sox fan. I appreciate the sentiment, and I like LaRussa also, but screw them, Win of Die Trying.

I took cuddling, you can do whatever you want with the coffee table, but no forehead hickeys!! BTW, I like wino better, but Rex Kickass does have a certain flair.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) mlb.com has pages that say both this is actually some what important to me because if it's on the fourth I won't have to miss any school and if it is the fifth I can't go until game two on the sixth, and that would cost me an extra 25 dollars(because I would have to pay to miss a drum lesson) kind of confusing I know either way help is appreciated What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians? drummer

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 09:33 AM) That damn evilmisquoter strikes again. True story, we had some voter irregularities down here and I was involved in a discussion regarding ghost voters, intimidation, paid workers paying voters, political favors, etc. They asked me if I could believe it? Before I could answer a voice piped up, he's from Chicago, ask him what else we should have done

Kid, give me the run down on how much time you spend listening to music, where you are finding the cool stuff, etc.

QUOTE(56789 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 07:16 PM) Odd how every single soldier who dies doesnt support the war or Bush. maybe three f***ing shots to the forehead by friendly fire changes a mind.

Wow Soxy, you've always been good at adding to threads, nice idea for a new thread. Did you see this some where else? Towards me? As we were in that awkward, I don't really know too much about you, and now we have to make small talk and catch our breath . . . She said "I usually fall for good looking guys that make me laugh. You really make me laugh." Huh

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) I did not change my name. My name changed on me. I also did not land on Plymouth Rock. Plymouth Rock landed on me. I've heard of Rock Hudson, who is Plymouth Rock?

Start 6 or 7 of the starters, and start pulling them by the 7th. Pitching will be interesting. Whose arms do we burn out?

Now if we win tomorrow and the Red Sox, Yankees, and Cubs lose, we're still in the playoffs, right??

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 03:03 PM) Just ordered my shirt from MLB.com. Bought myself the black "Roster" shirt. Man that thing looks gorgeous...got the names on the back. Hell yeah. Same one I'm ordering, Jas, is there going to be a Soxtalk Championship T-Shirt available also??

Sweeeeeet so far So much nicer watching the game on TV instead of on my computer.

Weekday games are tough for some. Perfect for me.
