I assume they have a tutor there as well.

F150. Make money on the weekend helping friends with inferior modes of transportation.

Thanks for the link. I love how the organization seems to be working on helping him to live comfortably in the US.

I love how we can find humor in the sad RF situation. On the plus side this will probably be his best chance at a MLB career. Good luck to him.

Sticking to managers I've been alive to see. Hmm, given enough time every manager stinks it up for a stretch and looks good for a stretch. For example Ozzie's final couple months may have been the worst stretch of "managing" I've seen by someone in a Sox uniform. He also had a great stretch in '05. I always think of Tony as the best. But that is partly because I was too young to really understand what Tanner was doing.

I agree. Juggling the work load and setting new priorities based on new items coming in I would consider a basic job skill. Unfortunately the jobs with the sort of rote routine that would work have been replaced by machines.

I was thinking about all the posters who announced the birth of their first child here. We're getting old.

Except when customers are expecting a service during specific hours or you are part of a team and the entire team needs to be productive at the same time. But yes, my daughter has a position that is work from anywhere there is an internet connection. But still there are times when she needs to be in the office at a specific time.

I was and still am the first one to work. As a manager I appreciated employees who were professional and arrived on time. I also was very accommodating for doctor's appointments, school meetings, and all those things that require people to leave for part of a day. But if you can't figure out how to be at work on time most days I assume you don't care much about the job. I remember one employee who was late literally half the time. His excuse was his commute was anywhere from 30 minutes to 45 minutes. He always left 30 minutes before his start and it wasn't his fault if he was late. I asked why he didn't just leave 45 minutes before work. His answer was he didn't want to be early. Do you think he was ever promoted?

There is the D league already.

What are you suggesting?

Fun fact. The murder rate is higher in Chicago than the DR. 24.1 per 100,000 Chicago 14.9 per 100,000 DR

Do y'all mean he should be a sell out and turn his back on his people and his roots? It's what I would do. I'd send money, not myself. I'd also avoid Chicago with all that violence. Miami doesn't seem much better.

The battle is for the casual fan. What we will pejoratively call bandwagon jumpers when the team is winning. The family that goes to one game a year and will decide that is the year to see a Sox game. Who will tune in to see what the excitement is. As hardcore Sox fans, we could help the team by making them feel welcome and hopefully convert them.

I read somewhere that about a million people claim to have been there. Another testimony to the power of the event. I missed out. Even though I was a big Steve Dahl fan I didn't want to fight the crowds. Of course now I wish I went.

Incomparable. ? that's perfect!

Stipends to players ( one size fits all) are a step in the right direction.

What else from the 70s are Sox fans still talking about? It was one of the greatest spectacles in sports promotions. As a franchise don't hide it, don't be embarrassed, grab it and promote it. I like the promo. I'm assuming this is the closest t shirt night to the actual anniversary.

He's the Sox version of Doug Collins.

I am also torn. It feels like we are punishing a company for delivering a product that a billion people use while trying to help crappier companies.

So frustrated with my game now. One of the pros I see all the time because he happens to be the father of two of my players notice I was rolling my wrist and kind of flipping at the ball. I fixed that and gained back about 20 yards and 33% more height on my irons. My hybrids and fairway metals are nice and crisp with a draw. I can't hit a $#^& drive to save my a$$. I mean yesterday I hit three into the woods and four more less than 100 yard rollers. I have no idea what I'm doing with the club. No feel. It's really ugly.

Summer vacation for us teachers is almost here. Looks like Chicago for a week -- Sailing the east coast aboard my brother and sister in laws boat for a couple weeks -- picking up our camper in Texas and heading to Colorado for a few weeks -- getting back for the start of my school year in late July. I just noticed I'll be in town for the Future Sox game. Hoping to make it.

Why pay a higher sales tax just because a car is worth more? I guess the theory is allow the poorest a break so they can drive and tax the people who can better afford it.

Hmm, I will be in town.
