Everytime we compare attendance and other revenue, JR is among the better owners as far as salaries. I have complete confidence he will spend more with the increase.

Corporate entertaining, the once a year family outing, the bandwagon, this place is happening fans, etc. are how to get the next 250,000 increase. BTW, the Yankees drew 4,000,000 Amazing.

tell him he is being rested for the 1st round of the playoff then tell him he is being rested for the League Championship the tell him he's being rested for the World Series ~~or~~ keep playing him and you know he's going to have a streak to balance the suck.

QUOTE(DaGame2584 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 06:22 PM) I was just saying wouldn't be nice to clinch in front of him? He is an indirect way of us clinching it anyways. By not signing him, we were more flexable in the payroll. Anyways I'm sure this has been discussed a thousand times about what happened. So tex, enjoy the win and have a beer! He's just another ex-Sox player. I appreciated what he did while in a Sox uniform. Red Sox fans thought Fisk was a prick for leaving Boston. I think he's the greatest catcher to put on a White Sox uniform. So I could really care who is there and who isn't.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 06:19 PM) Who gave them the power? THE PEOPLE. If the Democrats ever got their heads out of their collective asses and saying that they are everything the Republicans are not (which is bull s***), then they'd get the power back. I got news for you. The Republicans, IMO, SUCK right now. The Democrats suck worse because they run around looking for these witch-hunts like this crap instead of coming up with something that resonates with the common American person. If they ever do that, they'd have all the power and get to say when they get to investigate themselves. People who are ultra liberal or ultra conservative spend way too much time arguing over the exact kind of BS that this thread stated. Is it a problem? Yep. Get a message, though, and take back the power the right way instead of dreaming up all this s*** of how to "derail the Republicans" But as long as the GOP has 51% of the voters convinced they can increase sending and cut taxes, people will vote with their pocket book.

QUOTE(DaGame2584 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 05:57 PM) Yea I know the Sox only offered him 60-70 mil(Don't remember), man they were really ripping him off. Poor Poor Magglio And he's a prick for wanting to go somewhere else? grow.the.f***.up.newbie Are the players that come TO the Sox as free agents pricks as well? Or are they only pricks when you want to act like a jilted lover?

QUOTE(winodj @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 05:46 PM) Because Republicans have control over the legislative, executive and by that control - the judiciary as well. So Democrats have to work extra hard at being as corrupt as leaders of our organization? And we all know liberals are lazy and just expect handouts. They never said anything about working for them. Self-explanatory I thought.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) I would respond to that by saying that there's no reason to assume that the Democrats in Congress are honest, but the Republicans in Congress have ALL the power. They write bills in secret and push them through in the middle of the night with the Dems receiving 1000+ page documents 1 hour before the vote. They completely change things in conference committees and never give the Dems a shot to view the things afterwards. They hold votes open forever in order to bully people into voting with them. They rewrite rules so that they decide what to investigate. They promise investigations and then quietly shut them down when the press isn't watching (i.e. WMD's). The Democrats may well be as corrupt as the Republicans. But right now, the Democrats have absolutely no power in Congress. They can't even start an investigation. So the only ones who even have the chance to be corrupt are the Republicans. As long as we have honest journalists like Rush, Hannity, Savage, Ingram, Reagan, O'Reilly, Colson, Dobson, and all the others on 24/7 watching the Republicans, we'll be ok.

The site I jumped on had them at 65 loses. Thanks for spotting that.

QUOTE(DaGame2584 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 05:19 PM) I hope we can finish this thing of in Detroit right in front of that prick :puke Magglio. I guess you will never change companies or want to earn more money than what your present company will pay you? Ohh mommy, Johnny broke up with me, he's such a prick. boo hoo. Maggs played his ass off in a Sox uniform.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 05:49 PM) Tex, I said this in the other thread you posted that scenario in as well. You're math is a bit off cause the bosox and yankees each have 7 games left not 6. Oops, I had them with 65 loses, thank you.

QUOTE(winodj @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 05:42 PM) 2 wins clinches a tie for a playoff spot. 3 wins clinches at least the Wild Card. Best possible Yankee / Bo Sox records after sweeping their next series would be 94 wins going into the weekend. Best 1-2 finish 95 and 96 wins. 96 wins assures staying ahead of at least one of them. 2 to clinch. AL E winner 96-66 AL runner up 95-67 Any wins added to the winner subtracts from the runner up. And the runner up is who we need to stay ahead of. Still looks like two to clinch to me. SHow me how the Yankees AND the Red Sox could end up with 96 or more wins??

2 wins clinches a playoff spot, we can't clinch the division without a Cleveland loss. The best we could do if Cleveland wins all 3, is clinch a tie.

Here goes a try at the current numbers (Sunday Evening) Yank/Bo Sox 91-65 with 6 games remaining White Sox 94 wins If both the BoSox and Yankees win all three games to start this week, they would be sitting at 94 wins going into the final weekend. Possible outcomes 3-0 Wildcard winner would need 95 wins (Sox need 1) 2-1 One team finishes with 96 the other 95 (Sox need 2) As Freddy Prinz would say "Loooking Goood!"

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 05:16 PM) It is unreal how easy (and quick) baking is when you get a Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I made butter cookies and lemon bars today and was ready to bake more. Aren't they awesome! I love baking bread so much more after getting mine. I only wish I had gotten the bigger one where the bowl is raised to the mixer. Mine is almost 20 years old and still working perfect. Wait until you whip potatoes

I don't think either party has a monopoly on problems. Just because the list doesn't balance equally, doesn't mean these guys are angels any more than the guys who should be on the list and aren't. To paraphrase Kap's logic, there aren't enough Dems on the list, so these guys must be honest. And a liberal thinker would say the same thing if it was all Dems. They all work in the same industry, with the same temptations, the same problems. When as the public we stop the us and them, Dem and GOP cheer leading that the parties have encouraged, we will begin to get back honest government. Until then GOPerheads will denounce any attacks on Republicans as biased and untrue, and Dems will do the same for "their" guys. Of course we will get what we deserve.

I noticed you didn't say anything about having a passion for the first job?! I think you need to find door #3

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) I'll wait until the Parks director determins how many people were there. We saw the supposed stats about attendance at the million man march, and all the other supposedly huge marches that in actuality had way less than the organizers claimed. It is an inexact science at best. I remember a long ago journalism class and the prevailing wisdom of the day was to find someone like the police chief to make a estimate (guesstimate?) I'm not certain if numbers are meaningful anymore. Getting 100,000 together in 2005 is a lot easier than in 1969. Reagrdless of the numbers, they are growing. I pray that we reach an end that does not cause the thousands who died to die in vain. The sooner the better, but sooner isn't always better.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) And protesting never changed anything and never will...........whats your point? Are you familiar with the works of Jesus, Martin Luther, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez? Not every problem requires a military answer. Non violence also has a roll in shaping our world. I know it isn't as deeply satisfying as actually killing people to get your way, but is has worked.
