QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) It's sad too because he was a great utility backup. He'd rather be a starter on a last place team than be a backup on a contender... Pride, I wouldn't want a guy on my team that didn't consider himself a starter.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) Siriusly though, I'm expecting an increase in spelling mistakes in the south.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 09:13 AM) Is Maggilo Ordonez worth $105 million though Tex? If Maggs didn't hire Bora$$ as his agent, who knows what type of deal he would have gotten. Is he worth 105? No. But I have a hard time with all these salaries when someone like A-Rod makes more in a day than Nuke or a teacher in a year, our society is really screwed up. With his past injury, I believe Borass was his best bet. Remember much of this contract hinges on his continued good health. Without the injury and based on the ridiculous economics in baseball, I think he would have settled into the $90 to $100 range without any trouble at all.

I guess XM won the coin flip

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) I'm pissed. Now I'm pissed I missed the obvious joke and have no mod powers to edit the title.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) KW giving up BMac and ANderson.. and then telling us that neither were in the 3 year plan to lose.. It just needed a touch of green. Anyone concerned about *why* guch cannot play SS? Bad shoulder?? Or just tryiing to help him adjust?

OMG At first I thought it said Crede and thought WTF

QUOTE(mreye @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) You ran XCountry AND played basketball. I guess we have more in common thatn I thought. The wrestlers loved nothing better than to trap a lone b-ball player in the weight room, drop him, and in about 2.3 seconds have him spread eagle on his back singing songs. Today, someone would be arrested, then, I just learned to hate weight rooms. Rest of my geek HS resume President -- Chess Club played board 1 we won county three years in a row. Treasurer -- Varsity Club Captain -- Track (880) and CC Golf Editor in Chief HS and College newspapers

It isn't the strikeouts that I remember, it's the errors. Man didn't he have a three error game early last season? Two in one inning?

QUOTE(winodj @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) Only if you replaced them with "Delta Dawn" by Helen Reddy. Could it be a faded Rose from love gone by? I did memorize all the words to I am Woman, the wrestlers made the basketball players sing it often enough

I guess I'm still a breeder . . .

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) I think that's a good choice. The transition will be difficult, so let him concentrate on one position. I hope Sox are able to swing a deal for a veteran back-up or maybe a suprise vetran will be cut by another team... History says Valentin should be back by June

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) I honestly dont really find that girl attractive...much. What happened to the girl next door? Has she been lost forever? With all the girls I've had in my life....enough for an accurate sample population.....Im alot more attracted to them when they are more comfortable with themselves than when they spend all that time infront of a mirror. Sweet. you're hoping your girlfriend reads this, aren't you.

QUOTE(winodj @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 11:08 AM) And I thought it was for my original vinyl copy of Baby I'm A Want You by Bread. I loved that album, and their greatest hits. One summer I wore that out and the Greatest Hits of the Lovin' Spoonful. Am I gay?

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

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 08:49 AM) Or bleaching their hair beyond human recognition. Or fake baking to get a pretty tan that will, eventually, leave leather looking skin. The plan is to dump her before any of that happens and go for a younger model

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