  1. So the thought is someone scammed Amazon or stole a box off someone's porch? How does the Amazon to eBay scam work?
  2. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 08:53 AM) Alexei has an outside chance at player of the month if he ends on a hot streak. It'll be tough to be out Trout and Pujols though. Gotta read *all* of the thread
  3. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) Though I will say this now, neither should be eligible for ROY. ^^x2^^ Poo-holes hit his 500 this month / end of discussion
  4. QUOTE (gatnom @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 05:09 PM) So, do any of you financially savvy people have some investing advice for a guy who is just starting his first real job out of college? Paying back my student loans is my primary priority at the moment, but I'd like to start putting some money aside for retirement etc. sooner rather than later. Any thoughts? Save up a $1000 and put it in savings then avoid thec redit card trap. "Borrow" from yourself and always, always, avoid paying interest.
  5. The poem I am carrying today We're watching "Dead Poets Society" as well. LOL, they see a lot of me in Keating (Robin Williams). I hope they don't see that by the end of the movie
  6. I wonder why they don't limit him to 18-20 starts and 100 pitches or less each game until the team is ready to compete? Maybe 100 innings.
  7. QUOTE (Vance Law @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 08:42 PM) In a case where someone doesn't qualify for the minimum PAs, but is close, they do a calculation assuming the player got no more hits and reached the minimum PA total. If this were the end of the season and Flowers was 3 PAs short, they would assume he went 0 for 3 and then calculate the average. If he still had the highest average, he'd win the batting title. I have to ask, how did you know this?
  8. Asked to comment on Chris Sale missing a start, Nolan Ryan had this for Sox Manager Robin Ventura "I told you to limit his pitch count!" BTW, this guy threw a lot of pitches, used a little Advil, and had a very long careeer . . .
  9. I also bumped that thread to have people update. Use that google search term and you will only get hits from soxtalk. You may recognize the thread.
  10. restaurants site:www.soxtalk.com Plug that into Google and it will give you a long list of threads having to do with restaurants. The formula is "search term" site:www.soxtalk.com By adding to the search term you may be able to reduce the list.
  11. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) I think it makes YoY comparisons tougher. I doubt that they are misreporting crimes at a steady rate. Usually a criminal gets more brazen in their activities, which is why they get caught. I would be willing to bet that cheating your crime stats isn't much different. It starts out with maybe a homeless guy that probably is a homicide, but no one cares, so we will just call it an "accidental death", because why waste the resources, right? Then after no one notices, maybe a little bit bigger re-categorization happens. Until eventually it becomes a routine thing. You changed my mind. I agree with your assessment.

  13. Thinking of roof top shots, I remember a couple of Kittles' more than anyone's
  14. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 09:39 AM) His early days he had as much power the opposite way as anyone I have ever seen. He didn't get pull happy until later in his career. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 09:42 AM) He absolutely did. That's what made him special His opposite field home runs were as fun to watch as roof top shots.
  15. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 16, 2014 -> 12:42 PM) If they did it as a team, they should get their money back. The 70's sucked for White Sox baseball. Besides Dent being MVP, there wasn't m,uch to cheer about. I'm surprised Silva would brag about that.
  16. I was beaten to it, I was going to post: Oz "Hello Kenny, how are you doing?" Kenny "Hold on a second" *silence* Unidentified voice "Box office, how can I help you?"
  17. . . . include the 1970s era Chicago White Sox. Does anyone remember this? Anyone know how it might have helped baseball players and teams? http://www.silvalifesystem.com/lp/silva-me...e.com&otag=[sLS-TB]#sthash.khkJM9QM.dpbs
  18. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
  19. Ncorgbl told Frank to keep his mouth shut and let his bat speak for him. They were tight.
  20. Dallas is an 8 hour drive away and I'm blacked out. Really? Houston takes about 6 hours. I am blacked out there as well. 150 miles to watch a game in most city parks would be a 8 hour committment. that seems about the longest that makes sense to me.
  21. If you believe that this has been going on forever than a fair comparison of crime rates is possible. In other words, as long as you are under reporting at a similar rate, you can determine if rates are increasing or decreasing.
