that's why ncorgbl got fired as an owner

The other comment that was made, and I wanted to find out how true it is, he said, and the Cub guy kindof confirmed that it wasn't until the 50s that the Sox-Cub rivalry thing really took off, until then it was common to be a baseball fan and follow both teams. They really didn't know what started the heated rivalry. Can anyone confirm?

I am getting tons of crap scam offers and such, but so far nothing that looks legit.

I read The Jungle and had a few questions about life in the yards, but he quickly changed the subject back to baseball. My guess is he is Lithuanian or Polish. A couple of things he mentioned Thomas is the best "modern ball" hitter he saw. Relief pitchers destroyed the game DH wasn't that big a deal (go figure) Managers are primadonnas the game is too expensive, America's sport shouldn't cost more than dinner and a movie. Night games are no good. Nightime is family time. Baseball is better on the radio then TV Who cares what drugs a Doctor gives a player. "Hell I couldn't pass a baseball physical, I know these aren't helping me.

Does anyone have any experiences to share with on-line job sites like Monster? I am looking to make a change, and am starting to look at various resources. So far they do not seem to promising. One issue I am facing is I want to switch careers, so I think I will need something more than a searchable resume database.

I wouldn't worry as much about turning 30 as living in PR Kidding Josh, just Kidding. Happy Birthday

Wednesday morning, out of 6 people in the waiting room 3 were Sox fans and one was a Cub fan from North Dakota. I actually didn't want to leave the waiting room. Hanging with old guys. Talking Chicago baseball history.

I did meet the coolest guy last week that filled my White Sox craving. I walked into the waiting room and he was sitting there wearing a Sox cap. I was wearing mine as well so we had a little laugh. He's in his early 90s, use to sell programs for $0.05 at the ballpark and claimed to know most of the players in the 20s and 30s. He has great memories of his Dad telling him stories of the Sox WS win and always thought he too would see a White Sox World Series victory. I wrote down the instructions to come here and post. He uses the internet a little bit when his great-grandchildren come to visit. If my Sox knowledge is correct, he was mixing up some eras, and was decades off with a couple stories, but most of the stories were very cool. I'm not familar with old southside geography, was it possible to walk to games from the old stockyards?

When something works that well for a candidate, you wonder if they planned it. or With friends like this, who needs enemies.

It seemed like it was just Southsider talking to himself. He was so bored he went out and bought a cat.

Now that I am pain free, and pain killer free, and can freely move my fingers, I thought I would stop by in person. My family tells me nothing was happening last week. I thought they forgot to hit refresh when they would read me the thread titles. I did find it interesting that last week, zonked out on drugs, using only half my brain, I became a Republican. Hmmmm, maybe there's a lesson there.

Cats are cool, but what is even cooler are rabbits. Mine is litter box trained and nothing is funner than watching a bunny hope around the homestead. Yer shore did get yerself a purrrtty kitty. Arr yer sure you ain't a way south - sider?

Could we just give him a donut shop and make fun of him for a few years

Jim asked me to post this, I hope I found the right place (he said nfl loser) and he said someone would know what it means. If it's in the wrong place, and someone can help, would you please? 49

Like anyone cares about Tex, but . . . I know I am a bit rabid right now but once I realized what the fem nazis and environmental wackos have had me believing all these years, I feel like I need to undo everything I've been saying. My gun toting, religious, pro-life, anti-Stern, balanced budget loving, butt belongs with the good old boys in the GOP. Let someone else pay the taxes, I've paid enough and want a damn cut, especially the estate taxes, they really suck. A tax on my earnings, a tax on my capitol gains, then a tax at the end for my family? Screw the Dems. I am sorry if that offends some of you that want Tex to be the liberal idiot, but I cannot do that anymore. If Kerry is elected we wil have another terrorist attack. I know Cheney was forced to take back that statement by the press, but he's correct. Look at what Clinton did to us. We couldn't defend ourselves from 14 guys with box cutters and the economy was tanking as he left. We'd still be holding our breaths over Iraq if Kerry was in office, waiting for another UN resolution that would be ignored. As it was we gave him time to move everything to another country, maybe Korea. That is why we need to strike now in Korea before it's too late. Anyhow, posting will be impossible for me on my own, starting in a little while, so y'all can come back. If anyone wants to take over the NFL Loser pool, please do. I'll take the 49ers next week, or just pull me out.

Are you mocking me? If not, they released some swift boat stuff from 40 years ago. Remember White Water? Those documents were not found for years and years. Have you ever seen a government or business archive of paper documents? Do you think they are magically indexed on computers? These are bits of paper stored in boxes, stacked on top of boxes, in some dusty warehouse. Years to find something? I can believe it. What I cannot believe is the military would pull any strings to get Bush into the Air National Guard. Hell someone had to get that slot, why not Bush? He had the same chance as everyone else.

Bush and Reinsdorf and everyone else who has built a stadium in the past 20 years have used public money? Why criticize the President for doing the same thing? He'd be an idiot to not use public money. Would you seriously vote for a guy who didn't compete for every edge? We are pumping billions into the middle east to help them, let them pick up some of the tab, I'm sick of my tax dollars going to middle east billionaires. Did Kuwait every pay us back for saving their asses? No. Will Iraq? No. So screw them. I will never travel 3,000 miles to the Artic Nature Preserve or whatever they call it. Let's punch a bunch of wells and flood the US with cheap oil and say screw the oil producing countries. So some elk have their views messed with. It's the Dems who want to save some wilderness who no one ever goes to. The Exxon Valdez spewed oil all over a bay, it didn't effect me one bit, so why should I care about some elk in Alaska? It's stuff like that that is just plane stupid. But when I say it, I'm mocking? Y'all have been telling me this sdtuff for years, now at this point in my life, I start to agree, it causes problems. No we want our moderate democrat Tex. I am sorry that my switching parties has caused some people to be uncomfortable around here. The Dems have left me, I didn't leave them. Their policies suck for the middle class majority and led to 9/11. Clinton left us defensless against 14 guys with box cutters.

Exactly how most of the other millionaires in baseball have done it. Who wouldn't want a nice taxpayer funded stadium? I'd think less of him if he built it with private money. This shows he understands the importance of public works programs funded by the government and the ability to get others to give you stuff. Isn't that what we want in a President? If he could get some Middle Eastern Country to fund these wars on terrorism instead of us? YeeHaw !

What bothers me is we are talking about an almost certain decline in offense at 1st base for maybe improvements at SS of somewhere else. More two steps back to move forward. If anything Kong this year is making Thomas expendable. How about keeping the younger, more versitil player?

Compassionate Conservatism Catch-It BTW there is a link at President George W. Bush's web site to contact talk radio and news organizations. It works great for getting the message out. We also need volunteers in key swing states. This election is too important to sit still.

Doesn't she get pissed?

I miss Long Grove. Maybe I'll try and get up there .

It could also be mentioned to get other teams thinking about RG. Boosting his trade value.

President George W. Bush isn't sending over children, he is sending over adults who volunteered for this duty. Why not support our Troops and allow them to do their jobs? The other side uses children as terrorists and suicide bombers. We are taking out kids for our and society's safety. Unfortunately that comes with the war on terror. America Love it or Leave it.
