As messy as our elections are they are the #1 reason we have been so successful. Hell, we could be Brazil

My wife has worked in hospital ERs for years and tells me it just isn't true. Number #1 behind basic decency and it's the right thing to do is the fear of lawsuites. Do you think a hospital or Doctor wants to have their ass exposed to a possible law suit over a death?

Don't be offering him a beer until we know he's old enough . . . Nice to post over here. I thought we closed for the season. Back to SL&P

Too many question marks without reason tro believe they will be ! 4th and 5 th starter?? E-Lo?? Stays elite or back to normal? 2nd Base ?? CF?? Lead off ?? Closer?? Then you have these exciting questions Konerko?? All-Star or Gone? Frank? Declining or holding his own? I agree Lee, Crede, and others will continue to improve. I just think we have too many question marks.

Welcome to the party Striker This will be your best day. Everyone here likes you. keep posting, that will change

You have to love the, once every four years, that people actually pay attention to what people in Iowa think

Not true. Savin' is always better than not. Most of the time they do not even know if you are a donor while you are coding.

6'7" 185 he may need to put on a few pounds of muscle before playing in the NBA. He's a Junior, maybe he'll bulk up for his Senior year, unless he declares pro. Pippen played for Central Arkansas and what was the tiny school that Parish played for?

So how did WCU recruit the best guard in the NCAA? He's not a local kid wanting to play close to home.

I want Joe Cocker signing Seems I've got to have a change of scene 'Cause ev'ry night I have the strangest dreams; Imprisoned by the way it could have been, Left here on my own or so it seems. I've got to leave before I start to scream, But someone locked the door and took the key. You feelin' alright I'm not feelin' too good myself. Well, you feelin' alright I'm not feelin' too good myself. Well boy, you sure took me for one big ride, And even now I sit and wonder why, That when I think of you I start myself to cry, I just can't waste my time, I must keep dry. Gotta stop believing in all your lies, 'Cause there's too much to do before I die. You feelin' alright ...... Don't get too lost in all I say, Yeah by the time, you know, I really felt that way. But that was then; Now, you know, it's today, I just can't get off so I'm here to stay. 'Til someone comes along and takes my place, With a diff'rent name, oh, a diff'rent face You feeling alright ...... And Nancy Faust nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, good bye

The only thing going down is my lunch. And every time I look at our pitchers, it's in danger of coming up. I am now officially at my pre season form. We are going to be battling for 4th with the Tigers. ANYTHING else is cause for joy. If we get swept opening weekend, I can live with it because it is expected. I will not count all the pre season pundits who picked the Sox last year. I will not get excited.

We are a 2nd place team that went backwards (so far). I think the Royals have moved forward and the Twins are about even. We are staying ahead of Cleveland and the Tigers. Here's the tune KW is singing: Been tradin' for my rent and signing' for my supper I'm above the below and below the upper I'm stuck in the middle where money gets tight But I guess I'm doin' alright

I am.

It is interesting, on the surface, being able to choose who gets your gift seems correct. On the other hand, I may not like my organs going to Purples or Greens and would prefer them to go to Blues. Some one else may feel the opposite. Perhaps the best way for my organ to help Blues is if it goes to a Green or Purple because an Purple might donate to a Blue. Did that make sense? I was trying to avoid labels that would side track the concept. I am donating my organs regardless who gets them. I had not considered a convicted child molester getting them. I do not have any objections based on race, religion, or sexual preference.

yes they are. Same as last year. Notice the help that KW tried last season was at 2nd, CF, and pitcher. We still haven't upgraded from Bart, Alomar, or any of our menageree in CF. It is going to be a long s***ty season in Chicago. I hate happy Cub fans, I hate be an unhappy Sox fan, and both are going to happen unless something breaks loose or a major breakout season for a pitcher or two. And who is our closer? Who do you really have confidence in?

Baseball has been played up the middle for over 100 years. I'd rather spend the $$$$$ on a catcher, pitchers, middle infield, and a CF.

Safety rule #1 know what you are shooting. That dad is in for a rough stretch as is the rest of the family. I would be very pissed at my wife if she killed one of my children, I'm not certain I could forgive her.

If he cared about winning he wouldn't let money enter into the decision? WTF? Thankfully players do not think that way. Imagine a league that players begged Steinbrenner to let them play for the Yankees? If players would take less to play for a winner, what chance does some teams have? Imagine if very free agent decided the Cubs were thisclose and decided to go play there for the min.

I do if Frank is gone. They will build their marketing around Maggs. The team needs that one guy who is the face of the team. He must be long term, a top 3 or 4 player, good morals, nice to the fans, etc. Mark would also be a choice but he only plays every 5 days.

OMG, it must be the off season, this thread just cracked the Soxtalk top 40 longest thread. Brazil? Who would have thought?

Hell what good is something unless you can tinker with it. Hell the cover on my computer hasn't been on for 6 months

We send more in humanitarian aid around the world than any other country. I for one think it is sick that we have children going to bed hungary when we are sending humanitarian aid to otehr countries. I also think it is wrong that we will send aid to people in Brazil as long as they stay in Brazil. Sneak in here and we will let you starve. Bad policy IMHO. Brazil to US: Send Money Here is an interesting story. I do not think we will be invading anytime soon. Unless we are spreading the pesticides which are illegal in the US on your crops to help win the war on drugs. Hunger is a problem the world over and no one knows is more than the US farmer who is asked to feed the world on pennies a day. Do you realize how many tons of grain we give away daily around the world? I did not mean to imply you wanted us to help with the coup. I meant to imply that we do it all the time, and with terrible results. Sorry, we thought it would help and it gave our military someone to shoot at. And finally if so many of your people are hungary, why would you discourage tourism? It brings money into the country. Even if 50% goes to hookers and drug dealers, they have to buy food, cars, and clothing. That money helps pay legitimate salaries to the hotel, store, and other workers.

It is a tough call. I forgot which sports celeb received a transplant even though he was sick with something else (Micky Mantle?) and did Crosby get a new liver? I find it outragous that prisoners receive better health benefits than many working Americans. Would I sign a exclusion on my organ donor card that a prisoner could not receive the organ? Possibly. How about no felons, child molesters, murderers? I could go for that.

Hush, I was thinking the same thing. This time we learned from our mistakes. Ref: Could he be that stupid?

She knew how to pull the strings. Twins left on the stairwell by the evil landlord who locked them out. Sleeping in the car in a hospital parking lot. No showers. Leaving the kids at the library.
