Why do these threads get so personal and heated? Because the stakes are so low. I guess we're lining up and choosing sides again. I enjoy CW's posts most of the time, as I do many people here. No way with the wide variety of topics we touch on that someone is going to like 100% of anything. But again, it's the golden rule and he who has the gold, or in this case, willing to spend the gold, should rule. There is no democracy, no public votes to cast someone off the island, no mob rule.

KnuckleSox, carefull you may inspire a 13th method for him, the knuckle sock

It would be a snap if the board allowed multiple selections in a poll. Like vote for 4 of these 10. It seems like it will be very difficult to have a secret ballot type of thing. Not to get ahead of the conversation, but if CW isn't in red, something has changed and I would guess he'd be gone. Firing a volunteer is never easy or painless and the volunteer almost always leaves. Being that this is all volunteer staff, it can't be budget cutbacks, downsizing, merging, etc. but a personality clash or some back room, personal crap. If the people paying the bills want to make a change it's obviously theirs to make. They are throwing a cool party everyday and can invite anyone they wish and ask whomever to be the bouncer. Of course when they toss someone out of the party, and others want to party with that person, they leave with him. Life goes on. s*** happens. People die.

70, the bartendress was beginning to look really good.

Better hide your CD collection. But when they play it at the old ballpark everyone seems to enjoy it so much.

Sounds like he's a candidate for the ncorgbl hall of shame, opening it's doors in spring 2005.

What a sec, is this part of turn back the clock day at Soxtalk?? IIRC we've had this same conversation before

Not everything in a democracy is a democracy With the stakes so high, the decisions can be tough

I was working on a project that Heads inspired and looked at the number of admins we have. I was surprised there was so many, then noticed CW missing. I asked a couple mods what was up. I guess I'm the guilty party. I'm clueless in south Texas to the inner politics of the boards admin-land. Too lofty of a place

Hmmm, maybe this is all connected via Homeland Security, the CIA, and the Tidy Bowl Man. I smell a conspiracy

There should be no statute of limitations on murder. His crimes, if guilty, would far outweight that and deserves the harshest punishment available.

We both must have caught it at about the same time. I heard there was a post by Jas that we missed. I pray CW is ok, I'd really miss his posts.

I wonder if he has backups for sale

Supposedly he already did. Bruce read a quote from him yesterday from a phone call with him in which he said he is having surgery again (the same surgery Sandy has had twice) and it is NOT career ending. So in other words what KW was the truth. Maggs is having surgery because it isn't getting better... We discussed this on Friday.. don't you pay attention?? Which Friday? My heads spinning

That's the Rio Grande Valley pard Thanks knightni, I was hoping you had a back up.

YMCA is a Gay Anthem??

(Lifts up his mask.)That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage! (After President Skroob arrives.) President Skroob: Did it work? Where's the Princess? Col. Sandurz: We have the combination sir! President Skroob: Excellent! Now we can take every last breath of fresh air from Planet Druida! What's the combination? Col. Sandurz: One, Two, Three, Four, Five. President Skroob: One, Two, Three, Four, Five. That's amazing, that's the same combination I have on my luggage! (Helmet and Sandurz excange a glance.) Prepare Spaceball One for immediate departure! And change the combination on my luggage!

Don't they pay by weight not volume

You are correct, it was Vietnam and one of the most memorable photographs of the war. I believe the 4 images that burn the sharpest in my mind from Vietnam are 1. Street execution 2. Fleeing, naked children 3. Monk suicide 4. Kent Stake, woman holding protestor

The first version I read on CNN mentioned he got inside and the military couldn't stop him. I guess the conservative media is taking over and hiding the man's protest.

I wonder when they restore which version of this thread will survive?

Sometimes your kids do things you cannot stop, like enlisting in the service. You are assuming he supported his son's enlistment, he may not have.

whats the hot lunch? It's at Steff's work

Don't get caught behind the boxes Tex!!! The kids are at school. One advantage of "free lancing" from home.

more at link A couple messages KW is sending To other teams: This guy is possibly damaged goods, do not get interested To Maggs: We're dropping your worth in the marketplace, sign for less before it's too late. To Sox fans: Please be on the club's side when we dump him I believe this is as much contract negotiations as an honest appraisal of Maggs injury. The club has an interest in making Maggs appear to have a career ender in his walk year. 94% is that Maggs is gonna leave. Who's gonna pay the price when he's injured? Correct and baring a miracle there will be no post season play on the southside why should the club say "Maggs is healing fine and will be ready for next season"? Instead the club will make statements placing his injury in a very dim light to spook other teams. His next contract will probably have language involving DL, games played, etc. to protect the club which signs him. It's gotta be like that. Nobody will pay him that much, IF they have a 100% belief that he's ready. Sox won't sign him and we know. We have been set on this course and we know it. The Sox are lucky though cause him getting injured has caused his price range down. It will be interesting to read if Ordonez responds to the article or stays mum. Both strategies have some advantage. I am assuming every free agent will be gone, no options will be excercised, and we will only have guys who are under contract next season. I will once again spend the off season not getting my hopes up. Convincing myself again we are a 6th place team in a 5 team division.
