For real Take me back to Chicago Lay my soul to rest Where my life was free and easy Remember me at my best. Take me back to Chicago Where music was all I had I tried to be good as I could And sometimes that made me sad. Take me back to Chicago, to Chicago Why don't you take me back Take me back, take me back To Chicago. I still dream of the Lake of peacefulness The warm summer breeze 'Cause my life was so much simpler then Street corners and Tastee Freeze. Take me back to Chicago 'Cause hustlin's not my style LA was just a bit too hard I wish I could be a child Livin' back in Chicago, in Chicago Why don't you take me back Take me back, take me back To Chicago. Take me back to Chicago Lay my soul to rest Where my life was free and easy Remember me at my best. Take me back to Chicago 'Cause hustlin's not my style LA was just a bit too hard I wish I could be a child. Livin' back in Chicago, in Chicago Why don't you take me back Take me back, take me back To Chicago. Take me back, take me back....

My daddy was a cop On the East Side of Chicago Back in the USA Back in the bad old days. In the heat of a summer night In the land of the Dollar Bill When the town of Chicago died And they talk about it still When a man named Al Capone Tried to make that town his own And he called his gang to war With the forces of the law Chorus: I heard my momma cry I heard to pray the night Chicago died Brother what a night the people saw Brother what a fight the people saw Yes indeed. And the sound of the battle rang Through the streets of the old East Side Till the last of the hoodlum gang Had surrendered up or died. There was shouting in the street And the sound of running feet And I asked someone who said "About one hundred cops were dead." Chorus: And then there was no sound at all But the clock upon the wall Tick tock, tick tock And then the door burst open wide And my daddy stepped inside And he kissed my momma's face And he brushed her tears away. Chorus:

QUOTE(knightni @ May 29, 2005 -> 02:10 AM) Press surveys are crap anyway. Just a bunch of whiners who would risk national security for a breaking story. Who needs a free press, the government will tell us what we need to know, when we need to know it. No danger of risking national security. The Soviets had that one right with TAAS, the national news organization. Their citizens where very well informed. And it was unbiased and accurate. Exactly what the government did, because it came from the government. What could be more accurate?

Start printing the playoff tickets for both teams. Actually this seems like a pretty even trade. Too bad they couldn' throw in Busty Daker

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) Good story. I wish I got hit in the head with a baseball. then what did happen to you??

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 28, 2005 -> 08:45 AM) Or he just campaigned for the guy that was way closer to his personal belief system. Its just like Howard Dean, Joe Lieberman, and the others campaigning for Kerry. Or he was rehearsing for '08

As much as I appreciated the Cub's 2003 Steve Bartman ending and the 2004 final weekend ending, it will be nice to not worry about the Cubs actually winning anything for the next 5 or 6 years. I see a rebuilding in their future.

right side, I hope he's got an automatic transmission as he drives out of DC. In 2000 we were the envy of every organization with our pitching prospects and Jon headed the class. Amazing that these guys aren't doing more.

QUOTE(Sox1422 @ May 25, 2005 -> 11:39 AM) Koch Parque (Olestra) Ritchie I thought that Koch was one standup guy. He lost whatever it was that made him great for a season, never made excuses, never ducked from responsibility. I like the guy and wish him luck.

the more things change, the more they stay the same. Le's set the way back machine to 1969 . . .

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 28, 2005 -> 03:33 AM) Oh hell. If Frank comes up and goes 0-4 in his first game, 70% of the posters will be screaming for him to be sent back down. 10% will blame KW for it. 10% will blame Ozzie. 5% will b**** because we cut Timo. And they say math skills suck in Kentucky

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:27 AM) Until MLB adopts a BCS system for who makes the playoffs, I wouldn't concern myself with where we are in the power rankings. could I add Mariotti to that list??

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 28, 2005 -> 12:41 AM) And Hillary essentially hand picking her seat in New York isn't politics?? Hillary and her husband were being evicted from their home. They had to move somewhere. As for being polled, or not, does everyone of those 100 talk to telephone solicitors? The pollsters will not come out and say "this is Betty from the McCain campaign and we want to ask you a couple questions for a poll regarding whose will win the Presidency in 2008". Instead my most recent one went along the lines of "this is not a solicitation call, we just want to ask you a couple questions regarding Abortion." (Most people don't allow the conversation to move beyond that). The questions were how important is abortion rights in my choice of candidates, would I be willing to support a pro-choice candidate, etc. I am fairly certain a candidate was exploring a state wide bid. My intuition tells me it was Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn for Governor but of course the pollsters are not allowed to reveal who is paying for the poll.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) How come I've never been polled before. Noone in my family or in my neighborhood have ever been polled. The day I get polled is the day I believe one of these polls. Are you a registered voter? I have been polled at least half a dozen times in both Illinois and Texas.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 27, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) You will not. Just like all those f***ing movie actors. They all ran for Canada, not. If Hillary becomes president, I'll support her. I sure as hell won't be as poisoness as the left is toward GWB now. I also think that she's about as non-bulls*** as it gets - she'll defend the country - there's no doubt about that. I won't agree with her policy, but she's an American just like the rest of us (for the most part) on this board. What do you bet that the press would dig up a first gentleman sex scandal before her term was up?? I agree with you Kap. I would add she would be a centralist like the previous Dem President, perhaps even a little right of William Jefferson. However, I still believe that the best chance for a female would be on a GOP ticket. The GOPerheads would vote for her because she isn't a Dem and the Dem's would vote for a female just to prove their liberalism. I'm holding out for McCain. Of everyone on the landscape, McCain would be my pick. If he selected Joe Lieberman as a running mate, I'd be going door to door to get that ticket elected.
