Yep, keep studying hard, this is what you have to look foward to . . .

Progresso, just across the border about :30 minutes from my house. Regular shopping trip, no big deal. Not much different than going to Milwaukee. Might drop into a dentist for the $7 cleaning.

Don Julio tequilla is awesome. At $200 per bottle I don't have an opportunity to indulge very often. Imagine sipping smooth tequilla. For you ss, I think I can find a $3 bottle of mezcal with teh worm . . .

Putting 2+2 together Steff said in the HoF Thread [/ducking for Mexico] actually I am heading to Mexico, anyone need anything? Fake Oakleys, Rolex, Viagra . . .

Is it considered profit or retained earnings? I thought the so called profit was primarily operating dollars. I don't think not for profits (charities are different) have a mechanism to distribute "profits" as such. Perhaps in the form of year end bonuses??

Baseball teams as not for profit? OK you and I will be captains, I got 4E, your pick

IMHO a case could be made that any team that receives sizable tax breaks in the form of public stadiums, tax abatements, etc. should be run as a not for profit.

But we all had fun yesterday discussing it. I hear they are going to change their name to Chicago Wizards of Oz

I believe other won for King, so Minny could just date himself

:headshake

Hmm, I am guessing one acceptance speech will be in four parts to increase post count and the other will begin, . . . is not here to accept . . .

So far all the talk is about guaranteed income and franchise value for Baltimore.

Spam I am. There have been many excellent people who gave their time and talents to this site. We should be recognizing accomplishments not tearing down.

There's a new triple threat in town . . .

I have no information beyond her post totals and user name have been deleted.

What kind of a hummer are we talking about?

Amen. And that is why we would survive a move from the AL Least to the AL East. Alternate line Amen. And that is why we would survive a move from the AL Easy to the AL East. I wasn't certain which one was better.

We started this discussion with something that was reported on WSI. Can we get any stupider or immature than that? Everyone knows the hooker and porn budget is absolute and cannot be reduced

There's a lady I have to deal with at a supplier. I find her mildly offensive, but I do not complain because I really do not care. If I cared, I would complain. The Royals suck this year, are any of us complaining about their organization? Does that mean we somehow love the Royals?

But you said a the team could make a ton of money with a $30 million payroll. The team did not have to be competitive to make money. I agree with you.

Ahhh the "White Sox, Love It of Leave It" argument. If you are a fan, don't criticize. I wonder sometimes myself why I care so much about a team 1,500 miles away. With no team within 400 miles, I am a free agent of sorts. Pulling for Houston makes sense. The Yankees do have all that tradition . . .

I am lol at that thread. I am now so thouroughly confused I have no idea what anyone is really meaning.

Imagine how much fun we'll have if this becomes real southsider claims no one will go to games if the team is not competitive, he also claims (probably true) they will not be competitive in the AL East. So how many here will stop supporting the team? How many here will not go to any games? Southsider, you said no one will go if the team isn't competitive then criticize 4E for stating the same thing. I am so confused.

But MLB is the greatest show on earth. No matter who is playing.
