  1. You are correct, the best way to make a small fortune in baseball is to start with a large fortune. But for every Mark Cuban there is a Jerry. Why buy a MLB franchise? To make money, break even, or as a hobby that will cost you some $$? Perhaps out a sense of history and keeping a team in it's traditional city. Perhaps to join an elite club? If it is out of some history or wanting to be a part of MLB, then moving the team to the A.L. East would seem perfectly natural. Short of the dig at 4E, that's a HoF post
  2. Isn't it great having an owner that puts the business interests of Major League Baseball over the selfish interests of his own team?
  3. "shouldn't they take new photos of those guys?"
  4. I heard another interview with the guy. He claims it must be that Dem supporters have no morals, etc. Doesn't find it odd it's happened several times to him. :headshake
  5. Raped and Killed him 92 year young great grandma
  6. :headshake Strip Searched Special Ed Kids
  7. I know. Although that was a pretty swift transformation. What ever happened to the Botox allegations? That kind of got blown off the radar when the Swift Boat story broke. He wouldn't be the first candidate to alter his regular grooming to look younger. Althought one of my favorite quotes is Reagan's
  8. I don't see it happening. If I see any changes it would be some sort of alternating Division A and B based on finish or a small market vs. big market, adjusted for cities which have two teams, or a small payroll vs. large payroll. Or finally putting in a hard salary cap.
  9. what color do you want him to be? The guy spends a couple hours outside in the sun, gets tan, and Drudge has a story.
  10. Bush wants to give every American one as a thank you and to stimulate the economy Nice job remaking the bills. I still think Reagan needs to be on one. When will we add a general circulation $200?
  11. Kerry turning orange before our eyes. From Matt Drudge
  12. Too bad real life doesn't work that way Traffic just moved around her :-(

    Actually he should really do it Monday.
  14. There was a TV show about a similar occurance only it was international. Pretty cool. Of course around here we'd eitehr complain it was posted in the wrong forum, accuse the person of spamming, or make fun.

    It was a small upgrade from southsider2k3. He changes is screen name annually to mark his eternal optimism of the Sox winning the central division of the AL of MLB.
  16. My last commute was Wheeling (Wheeling Road and Dundee) to Schaumburg (Algonquin and 53) . The crawl down Dundee was so annoying. The lights would have to change three times before I would get through. And Algonquin and 53 was a mess trying to get on 53 right before the northbound merge. Mix in a little snow or ice and gridlock.

    I remember when Southsider2k3.5 passed the 7000 mark. I believe it was in the Congrats SS2k3 on 5,000 posts thread
  18. Wait a minute. Did you not just say you'd like to take the train?! You would be passing up a private chauffer / husband for the common folk on the train!? Are you running for office or something?
  19. I do not see the Cubs leaving Wriglyville in anyone here's lifetime. IMHO the loyal intelligent fan base is about evenly split between the teams. The battle is for the casual fan who attends two or three games a year. The Cubs have made themselves a hot ticket and the Sox will again. If either team was to leave the city, it would have been the Sox. Who knows what Arlington Heights would have been like?

    Computer problem

    The usual source of magnets near a monitor are speakers. Move any speakers away from the monitor.
  21. When I was driving between Skokie and Wildwood (way north) everyday there were many mornings I didn't remember anything on 94 or the Edens. I would just zone out and the car would almost drive itself. Scary.
  22. When I as working in Mexico, I saw it every day. From a friend who entertains clients there in Boy's Town he claims the prostitutes sell viagra at $10 to $15 per pill. BTW, the fastest growing population with AIDS are over 60 who frequent prostitutes. They call it the "Viagra Effect".
  23. Kerry supports underage drinking by his fans volunteer event
  24. Just don't talk too loud. Woman arrested for talking too loud on cell phone.
