QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) Like everything else, prices vary. Out in L.A. since there are so many surgeons doing it, it's less. I know women who have flown out there, because even after you throw in the air fare, it's still cheaper. There are also very reputable places doing it in Mexico and other countries. I can't say I blame women for getting them. There are a couple surgeons about 20 minutes southwest of me that charge $1500 USD. I've been told the work is first rate and the facilities modern. Si habla espanol!

KW: I'm sorry. I got busy and didn't call. I know I said I would call, I know I was wrong to not call, but I was busy for you. See? I got you a nice fast lead off guy like you wanted. I went all the way to Japan to get you a second baseman who could steal a base, and the pitchers! Did you see the pitchers?? I picked up the phone a couple times but JR was always around and you know how jealous he gets. Come on, how about tonight we go out and get really crazy drunk and have a good time? I hired your son in law. Pleeeeeeaaaase?!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 10:15 AM) It wasn't just that post... You just don't seem like your usual jovial self. Really? I thought my captions in both the SL&P and Palehose threads were funny. This was the only thread that saddened me. I see America splitting apart when each side is dismissed with a smirk and a insult. It's becoming us or them and then we fall. Sadly, all the unity in wake of 9/11, has been replaced by insults and personal agendas. Yesterday, the walking path near my home was lined with hundreds of US flags and dozens of people out for a stroll, a run, a roll, or a ride. As first generation immigrants mixed with Winter Texans, it truly symbolized the strength of America. Not as a melting pot, but as a fruit salad. Don't melt into some homogeneous sameness, but save your individuality, your beliefs, your hopes and dreams and let us combine and make America better. Let's not dismiss each other with insulting labels.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 09:40 AM) You having a bad morning Tex? As usual, anyone left of a Nazi skin head is a leftist wacko by Nuke's standards. His intolerance of anyone not a conservative is just sickening. I'm not defending the protesters, I think it was pretty stupid and illegal tresspassing, but when was the last time Nuke made a post without an insulting adjective to describe moderates or liberals?? Every chance he gets, he insults moderates and liberals. Too many people are too young and don't remember just how dirty America was up until the 70s and 80s and the environmental movement. Sewer discharge into rivers, pollution spewing from factory smoke stacks, DDT killing fish and birds, and other problems that liberals saw solutions to and conservatives said were too costly to fix.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) Nothing makes me laugh more than hearing about a bunch of whacko lefty protestors getting a good kicking ( to use a british phrase ) like that. Nice to see how tolerant you are of people who are trying to clean up the world after conservatives piss and s*** all over it. Don't worry, conservative s*** doesn't stink like whacko lefty protestors. When your job is to destroy people, I guess destroying our environment isn't a problem. :headshake

Anyone who reports to camp weighing less than last season was on steroids.

It takes a big asshole to take 105 million instead of 60 million. I guess he didn't know much about the market and how 60 million and living part of the year in Chicago is better than 105 million and living part of the year in Detroit. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

QUOTE(winodj @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 08:05 AM) If people make gay jokes, whatever. But I think there's an obvious line between an attempt at humor and just being insulting/derogatory. And that goes for nearly everything. Oh and Tex, she'll still be trying to convert me anyway so don't get your hopes up. Humor is a difficult area to work in. It is a built in coping mechanism. If we can laugh at something we lose our fear, our sadness, our aggravation. Watching the Comedy Channel for any length of time is enough to convince me that everything is funny to someone and everything can be insulting to someone. She might be trying to convert you, but it's only to get her hands on your Barbara Streisand signed copy of Guilty with Barry Gibb

QUOTE(winodj @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) I tried SO hard to be straight (How hard did you try?) I tried so hard that I still can't find my sense of style! PS. Selfdeprecation is always funny. I saw your new car. You stopped trying. I know one thing, by not prejudging someone for various obvious and not so obvious reasons, I have met some wonderful and interesting people. Maybe I'm just not smart enough, but everyone takes their own walk with their faith. Some have faith in various Gods, others have faith in the randomness of genetics and the miracle of new life forms spontaneously happening. I'm going to let God sort that out someday. Until then, I'm going to continue to try and respect other humans, give them the benefit of the doubt, and choose to like or dislike people based on criteria other than their race, creed, or sexual orientation. Besides, I would love to be the last straight guy in America, then, well maybe then, that little b**** Julie from 7th grade will pay attention to me.

Oz, I'm telling you, the look works for Belichick . . .

Humans are capable of the most vile acts imaginable. :headshake

QUOTE(lvjeremylv @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 01:55 PM) Wasn't it his tricep? It was one of those. Freakish injury as I recall, very suspicious. Sammy sneezes and blows out his back, haven't steroids been whispered to have played a role in such a freak injury?? Bottom line. Canseco is out to sell books. I've heard several contradictions in what he wrote then what he said. I believe his allegations are somewhere between 10% and 100% correct. Since I don't believe he is 100% accurate, and have no real way to determine which statements are false (Clemens? Alvarez?) I choose not to believe any of them.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 01:27 PM) When winodj posted the pic of his car last week...some were bashing it and some weren't. I was simply gonna post. "That car is gay" To be honest, I thought the same thing and I'm trying to remember if I PM'd WDJ or not with it. Which brings up another issue. There are things I'm comfortable joking with in PMs and in person that I would never want to post on a message board. Do I not post them, if for example, I think WDJ might be offended? No because WDJ has been fairly clear on many occassions that much of this doesn't offend him. I don't post it because it just isn't that important and someone else, new to the boards may be offended. Plus I recognize that few people are as open and honest as WDJ. With the number of men we have posting here, I will eat my cap if WDJ is the only gay person posting here on a regular basis. Hey look over there, pitchers and catchers reported last week, position players are in now!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) Tex -- why in the hell would I-Rod drop weight after having the season he did in Detroit? And, if Carl was on 'roids, he sure as hell wasted his money, because he was a real fatass lasts season. Roids usually enhances ones performance, and I doubt that Carl was enhanced at all last season... I don't know, he's been fighting with his wife and doesn't eat when he's stressed, he's getting older and isn't comfortable with the extra weight, he's working out less and enjoying the sunset of his career. We can convict anyone of we try hard enough. Frank tore a bicep muscle. Who tears bicep muscles except guys on juice? Frank has been somewhat moody throught his career! (I don't for a moment believe Frank has ever used steroids, just pointing out how easy it is to convict someone) All I'm saying is rushing to judgement isn't something I want to do. Feel free to choose in your mind whose juiced and who isn't. I've decided that speculation isn't something I want to do.

Here's what really sucks in all this. Let's say, for example, Frank comes into camp 15 pounds lighter because the extra bulk was slowing down the healing process with his ankle. Tongues wag all over MLB. I am not going to believe anyone was juiced just based on weight loss. I'm willing to give everyone one of these guys, except Bonds, Giambi, Sheffield (all admitted) and Sosa because, well, he's Sosa. :sosasucks the benefit of the doubt. Innocent until proven guilty.
