YOU BASTARDS Nothing gets me more homesick than thinking about food. Mr. Beef or almost any stand Portillos Malnatti's pork ribs anywhere south of Madison a Gyro not Greek Taco Jimmy's Hot Dogs by Arlington I'm having tacos nortenos bistek chopped up with onions, cilantro on a corn tortillo with beans. Plenty of sauca verde damn you, I miss Chicago

The financial side of baseball hinges on two different views of the league. One is of numerous independent entitites (teams) in a competition. This would be analogous to Coke, Pepsi, RC, etc. That is the common thought and IMHO ~ wrong. Baseball stages a series of entertainment events around the country and hires performers to go on this road show. While Coke could survive very well without Pepsi, the Yankees can't survive without competitive teams to play. They would wind up looking like the Harlem Globe Trotters. What is the best way to insure competitiveness? One way is like WW whatever wrestling and script the results. Not very satisfying and baseball would loose fans. They could eliminate city names; no home vs. away, just like the circus comes to town. Not a good idea either. So they need to distribute the talent evenly around the league. A draft worked well for a long time but Curt Flood and the players changed that. Now we have teams that might draft well, develop talent better than anyone, and in the end they get screwed by the richer teams. One suggestion is an annual player dispersal draft. You can protect X number of players off of your 25 man roster. Maybe 10 or 15. The rest are drafted in a even draft. First pick in round 1 gets last pick in round 2, then first pick in round 3, etc. Some sort of salary cap and salary minimum. Remember the goal is to have competition. It doesn't help if a cheap owner doesn't spend anything. Single payer system. MLB pays all the players and some mechanism is in place to fairly distribute the players. No bidding wars. Now obviously some/most of these schemes would not work, but interesting to think about.

LOL. Corg, your fun. It's too bad others don't realize you don't actually mean any of this. I can't believe some of these people get upset at you. I picture you sitting at the computer just laughing your ass off at their posts. At least that's what I'm doing at yours. Have a great day.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself

ncorgbl, you critize others spelling yet use a screen name that is spelled wrong. I noticed you asked me about my ass, you mentioned another posters diaper, and perhaps the Tub 0 Goo is actually refers to Colon's backside. May I suggest that during your group session this afternoon you ask the Doctor about anal fixation? The Doctor and the group may have some great insights into your issues. If you are trying to self medicate or work these issues out on your own, search the internet using the word Freud. I'm afraid if you search using anal fixation you'll find some sites that will excite you.

corg lives for that stuff. His best work is very good to great. I'm a Colon supporter and would love to see him stay another 3 or 4 years in Chicago but I still appreciated the effort and humor of corg's parody. When corg is attacking some people it's also some good stuff but only when he puts some effort into it. But when he gets tired or cranky or whatever and resorts to cheap bathroom shots I'm disappointed. Obviously he has some issues that would best be dealt with in therapy. However, therapy is difficult to get if you don't have private insurance or the financial means to pay for it. With government budget cuts even those most deserving and needing the therapy seldom get any. So I guess this is the best thing for him. As humanitarians we should all pitch in and help the nice old man by reading his posts and occasionally giving him targets to attack. So please, for his sake and those around him, let him flame away.

I caught the Moody Blues at Popular Creek about 20 years ago. Awesome concert but they were beginning to show some age. I could imagine how they sound now.

You responded too fast. Slow down, concentrate and come up with something better. You have so much experience and you resort to that

ncorgbl, those damn nurses stealing your meds again? I'm wondering if during those moments when you are lucid, if you read some of your posts and realize how crazy you are off the meds (or does the medication make you crazy?) I have to defend corg, He predicted four months ago that JM would be fired and it happened! He has also predicted that KW will be fired. Years from now, when it happens, you'll remember good o' corg predicted it first. Plus, and also in corg's defense: Which one of you guys talks with Jerry and Eddie on a regular basis? Which one of you guys are an investor in the Sox? Which one of you guys chat with Frank Thomas? That's what I thought. Personally I surprised corg gives us all this insight on a free site. Usually insider tips like this are reserved for pay sites. Maybe we should give corg his own forum. corg, please keep posting here, your my favorite. And remember the home threatened to take away your computer if you continue to flame the youngsters. Relax and just keep trying to educate them. Does your room mate still think he's Nixon?

As far as Jose knowing anything about what's going on with Bartolo he probably heard that from a writer and is repeating, or read ncorgbl's song My guess is they want to get a manager in here first, then look at our top line players and then look at Jose. He's at least priority three. I liked his leadership last year and atittude. We're not going to be fielding gold gloves in every position and I thought he was serviceable at SS. He's willing to take a pay cut to stay, I think that means something and it aint all economic.

Hmmm. I'm not a conspiracy theoriest but what does everyone think about a bank teller who announces he's quitting on Monday and on Wednesday he starts discussing expensive jewelry PA, CW is available to take your confession

I finally have a local hockey team the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees http://www.killerbeehockey.com/ They took a poll and asked what are you looking forward to. I want to see if intelligent sports fans, well at least the people here have the same taste as these fans.

But he was practicing with his hand Very nice taste in rings. Some guys who aren't as smooth would go more gaudy. Having said that, stay away from diamonds with this one. Picking her birthstone or even both your birthstones would be better. Match her eyes, match her cat's eyes, pick her high school team colors but don't go diamond. Save the diamond for that special moment under the moonlight at US CELLULAR FIELD when you propose. Ahh the scoreboard fireworks go off as Frank Thomas' grandkid hits a homerun it will take you that long at this pace.

I'm ok with Frank coming back. I would like to see him bat 5 or 6 in the lineup and depending on what other moves come down, I wouldn't mind seeing him play 30 or 40 games at 1st. I believe, but have no direct evidence to back it up, that if Frank was 1/10th as good as a club house leader as he is on the field, he would have a WS ring or two. I'm basing this on some of the direct whining quotes from him and comments from other players and managers on the way out. He's borderline HoF and shouldn't be. Throughout the mid 90's I would watch people stop dead in the tracks to watch Frank hit. He may have had the best combo of power, average, and "eye" of any hitter I've ever seen in person.

Skip the ring and go for a different piece of nice jewelry. Perhaps a pearl necklace and matching earings. IMHO if you pull a small box from a jewelry store from your pocket it better have a diamond engagement ring. Although, since you have dated less than 1 year you probably could get away wth it. After a year or so definately never, ever pull a small jewelry box without a serious commitment (engagedtogetmarriedwithadateattached) ring. Man that was some kiss

Uses the green? Dude, I'm on green all the time, I use black the few times I'm serious Or maybe smoking a little of the green??? hey you got proof of that!!!! No! Because it's a damn lie and no proof can exist. I'm calling a Mod! Actually, are hops and barley green? Hello, I am your mod, what is your complaint sir? he's picking on me. How does that report thingy work? You report me, and I ignore you. Any questions? One question. I just found out I'm a benchwarmer. Isn't that a demotion thematically from the 25 man roster? Can I be the groundskeper since I use some much green? That would be a perfect name for you. (Notice no green) Texsox and I should definitely be put in the "Groundskeeper" category... that's hilarious 700 posts and he and I are both Groundskeepers He should be my assistant plus I *kiss* on the first date oh no you didn't... I ain't no assistant, b****! If you saw this girl in person or knew her, you'd jump through hoops too. And just for the record, I'd never kiss you.... :finger I understand not wanting to mess that up my too early a move but what the hell did she have to lose?

I thought he was talking about the player on the Senior PGA Tour. I didn't know he was a Sox fan Then I thought he meant Mr. Rodgers but he's dead

Before Heather suggests it let me Lee or possibly Cy-Lo Loiza

I'm waiting for the one guy to click Sox. where's corg?

Very good steff

And you should. Someone tell me again why we let girls in here
