Maggs hasn't signed. I doubt Boras is going to stick his neck out too far for Maggs or any player. Boras is too good a negotiator to take part in that elaborate of a con. That would topple his gravy train too much. Maggs and Boras took a huge gamble and lost. I am sorry for Maggs. I wish him all the best, especially if he winds up in the NL. I am sensing a Baines-type career for Maggs after this. Limited OF play. That would seemingly eliminate any NL team from a good fit. But sense when did a good fit really come into play? A big peak at Maggs health will come when he does sign.

Sounds like his bosses wouldn't let him anywhere near their stuff. I figured out what upset him so much. He works around lawyers all day and the sight of a rat being eaten reminded him of work and his boss[/color] I kid because I care™ Did I do that better Mr. Jim?

I wonder if he was playing chicken and threatening to not claim the prize? I wonder if she could have forced him to claim it?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 01:01 PM) I like the way you think Ian. Were still debating whether to send in our season ticket deposit or not. The problem is we really think they are going to have a fun team to watch this upcoming season. Once again the spelling fairy came and messed up your avatar

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) Cool, that means I'll see him pitch at Dogertown down here in ST. Hopefully he can get back to looking like the 2003 vintage again. Easier to cheer for him in Dodger blue

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 09:38 AM) You don't think they'd let someone else control that, do you? My guess it would take a state by state referedum. ASAIK each state can decide who controls elections in their state. In the mean time, at least some law that you cannot be the Chairperson of a Campaign and be overseeing the campaign. Is that too much to ask?

Estaban may be KW finest hours, both coming and going.

One of the things being auctioned is a meal for you and 3 friends with Barry Bonds. http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/NASApp/...ws_sf&fext=.jsp {insert baroid joke here}

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 12:33 PM) Let me see if I follow here, Scott Boras is one of the premier agents among MLB players. Both he and Maggs know that Maggs 'can't even walk', have been lying about his surgery and medical status, plan to somehow rope a team into giving Maggs millions and millions of dollars, without an exam, only to see him limp out onto the filed in ST. Is that about right? Yes, basically Boras is going to f*** his own career to help Maggs. Yeah right.

(no offense meant, I should be one in November if the Bar exam goes well) Can't lawyers be held accountable now for bringing frivilous law suits? That might explain it.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 11:11 AM) On a side note, I also think the great Suburban sprawl will help the party a lot. Younger people like myself that are buying their first house are moving to areas that were typically solid Republican areas. (Batavia-area, Round Lake-area, Plainfield-area, etc) Thus I would expect races in these heavily Republican areas to get closer and closer each year. Interesting you mentioned Round Lake (Lake County). Lake County was the most solidly Republican county in Illinois for most of the last century. They did not re-elect a Democrate to any office between 1900 and 1995. Micky Babcox was coroner for decades despite not being a Doctor. When the laws changed and he was no longer eligible to be coroner, they elected him Sherrif :headshake What a machine.

Dems to Force Election Result Debate I still find it troubling that we have Dems and GOPs in charge of elections. It seems that there needs to be a non-partisan or at least a balanced process in place. Does it really make sense that the head of a party's campaign should be in charge of the election?

See he's trying to unite the country

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) Unbelievable! McVeigh was a child compared to this scum bag. I read all about him. He was bad news. Drugs, beaten people, murder conspiracies, & a major vendetta against the DEA&FBI. Lawyers are out of F'g control! I hope someone in OK protests against this. Call your local officials & complain, complain, complain! Do it so often they get sick to their stomach & change the law there. Would you also limit the amount of money the state spends to convict the accused? Limiting the resources that an innocent poor person has is a great way to get poor people off the streets. Poor, accused of a murder? Just go right to jail. Save us all some money, hell we know you are guilty. Rich, accused of a murder? Hire a legal Dream Team, search for the real killers, and in a few years, attend your college's BCS National Championship Game. Justice, American Style

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 03:08 AM) I don't claim any party affiliations other than US citizen. I believe in the GOP stance that gov't works better on the local level. I also believe that the unions need to regain their power base. I hate the fact that the House-Senate-White House are all controlled by the same party. I believe our judicial system needs to swing back to conservatism, but at this point in time that is dangerous with the GOP contolling all other branches of federal gov't. I vehemently distrust both major political parties and don't think either one has the best interests of the US and her citizens at heart. They have the best interests of the party at heart. We NEED a strong moderate ticket to run in '08. I'd bust my ass to get a McCain-Leiberman ticket elected. /\ what he said /\ Thanks YAS, saved me a bunch of typing.
