  1. Nuke, it's about tactics. Could you imagine missles on State Street? You seem to think that would be ok if we took out a terrorist. Guilty until dead. We can't arrest these people so we gunned them down at Northbrook Mall. Just shoot wherever and if anyone happens to be driving by, well too bad. Why do you think most of the world condemns these attacks.
  2. Whoa, check with an attorney. Did your agreement allow her to move your son? Usually there are restrictions. I obviously do not know the details, but I wouldn't let my son move that far away without some very good reasons. And an ex geting married doesn't cut it.
  3. They woudl be dropping a nuke on themselves. That's what I would call extreme.
  4. Just tell him to save time and pay you now.
  5. Ain't it pretty They need Jerry Manual, I hear he is available and knows his way around the city
  6. The more I think about it the more I think TV played a big role. I also think the DH may have hurt initially. The Brewers being in the AL might have hurt a little (Yankee fans going to Milwaukee) Wrigley being more "family friendly" The stadium neighborhoods It probably takes a generation to turn things around.
  7. Nuke_Cleveland logs in from Korea, he should be able to help you.
  8. That is a bit of an over simplification of the Cubs - Sox fan base. Most of the head of households today were raised when the Cubs were on WGN and the Sox were on channel 44, a UHF channel with poor reception. While the Channel 9 crystal clear signal was strong and covered from the Loop, damn near to Rockford, Sox fans were stuck watching the games between the snow on the UHF band. You youngins ask your parents about the days before cable. Then we had the Sportsvision era. No, the Cubs raised a generation of baseball fans. The Superstation rode the first cable wave while the Sox ost market share. CW, am I close?
  9. perhaps we could make a trade. Let me think of some local color or flavor I could send your way.
  10. This league has teams from Hawaii to PA link to league
  11. Can you believe there is a minor league?
  12. Instead of me downloading the image from the web site I found it at, I just linked to it. So anytime someone went to view anything I posted a command would go the that website to send the image to you. That places a demand on their server and potentially slowing it down, etc. The absolutely correct thing to do is A. Ask permission to use the image from the web master B. Save it to your computer C. Upload it to here or a picture server that accepts this usage.
  13. You could be making a lot of cd's buddy
  14. Baines was still playing when they retired his. Just not for us.
  15. It is almost impossible for a sports team to field a championship caliber team every year. Drafts, injuries, and luck all conspire against it. Teams have to build a fan base that will go to the games for the sake of being at the game. I watched this season as the Rio Grande Killer Bee hockey team started up on the Mexico border and almost took every local resident and taught them hockey. They are constantly in the schools giving stuff away, player promos, etc. They lost in the first round of the playoffs but sold out almost every game. Imagine, I sat in front of a guy who didn't know a Zamboni from a Zabruder. He was typical. They came for the fights but stayed for some decent at times hockey. Kids are going to games to watch the player they met yesterday play.
  16. Memphis looked like they never played in a ployoff game before Go Spurs!
  17. Mark = Budweiser, what else for a Mo. man? E-Lo = Sol, my favorite south of the border pale ale and means Sun. What could be better for our brightest star from last season? Garland = California Cool, need something trendy, something different, Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale Schoeneweis = A wheat beer feels right for this east coaster. Something light and well crafted perhaps staying local in Wisconsin the Hefe Weiss from Sprecher. Wright = A black and tan, something with heavy alcohol contact and mixed up. For Koch, straight shots of grain alcohol

    Uribe

    Great points Brando Lucky for Oz he has these choices. Looking down the road, I like the up the middle defense of Olivo, Harris, Uribe, and A-Row. Add an improving Crede and Lee and we are building a nice core for the next few seasons.
  19. I am certain it is in Israel's best interest to thumb their noses at the rest of the world.
  20. Damn, that's going to hurt them for a couple weeks
  21. I understand their pain. That was us this time last season. Cub fans are so much nicer when the team is struggling

    Uribe

    I am very happy we have these three. Keep platooning them as Ozzie has been doing. Jose is a veteran and someone I want coming down the stretch. I do like Harris' speed and Uribe has certainly earned his ABs
  23. Yeah, all he did was walk around all day today
