If it were up to me, you would have to be in your Age 25 season or earlier to qualify. I tend to agree. It does come down to where they have been playing. Japan certainly qualifies as above US AAA ball.

I'd like to point out that the violent anti-gay groups are not really religious.

My mother in law wears out a microwave bacon maker about once a year. She buys, for her and my father in law, three pounds of bacon a week. Yeah, I love breakfast at nanas.

Bummer. 71?! That's less than two decades away for me.

Not specific to any one person who has been banned but think about your mod team. We represent the totality of the social and political spectrum. When it reaches the point where 100% of the mods are fed up, we start talking about it. Weeks or months later something finally happens. There are no rash judgements. Anyone who has crossed paths with the person removes themselves from the discussions. By the time someone is suspended or banned they have had more appeals than a death row inmate. And then, we allow some back. I believe there can be minimum standards here and elsewhere on the internet. There should be a variety of places to express your opinions, each with standards that they feel are best for their site. This is a baseball site that also discusses anything that pops into our heads. Not allowing politcial stuff to overwhelm the core business makes sense for soxtalk.

I hope businesses will put up signs stating who they will not serve So I can decide to not shop there.

There were a lot of strings attached to the "free" money for expanded medicaid, the most problematic was trying to adjust later to not having the money. Basically you can't roll back the program in three years, so now you are faced with raising state taxes to cover the loss of federal funds. Many states, not just Kansas decided to not go down that path.

I'll bet all these guys are Democrats as well, I don't know because Huffington doesn't mention party.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 01:45 PM) Notice how it never refers to him as a Democrat? That's why Fox is the best place to get unbiased news. Or any of the dozens of radio shows like Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly. etc.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) Either a lot of people never thought about it, or don't want to think about it at all. Or my selection of a TV Hawaiian mansion just threw everyone off. I assumed you were coming out. Tom Selleck in those tight shorts and red ferrari must have done something for ya

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 5, 2014 -> 01:50 PM) With cell phone portability, probably a good chunk of older people. I do.

It isn't a pretty contract and it is obvious evidence of signing pitchers to long term deals is risky.

From taking the Roku 3 out of the box to having Hulu, Amazon Prime, Pandora and Netflix fully functional -- under 10 minutes. Amazing easy set up.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 01:01 PM) Is your meet against teams far enough away that their weather is different? If not, then you are getting the same amount of preparation. No. But I have players who have never been on a golf course in their lives. I need some time to have them ready.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 12:59 PM) You're on the wrong board to complain about such things. Most of the people who post here have 8 feet of ice in their front yards. In three months when I'm sweltering in 100+ temps people sill post the balmy 70s and 80s. It all evens out. Relative cold is still cold.

Oops. I should have looked.

I have a team to get ready. Our first meet is in two weeks.

I hardly watch any TV and my wife watches just a little more. NCIS, Elementary, perhaps one or two more some weeks. I decided to order a Roku 3 and see how close that will get me to cutting the cable.

I've had to cancel almost have of my golf practices. We have another 42 and drizzly day today.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 10, 2014 -> 02:13 PM) Not a penny was paid for those 634 posts. GP

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 10, 2014 -> 11:25 AM) I don't think that's anywhere near true anymore. Nobody cares about A-Rod. Really? 634 posts seems like an indicator. Like I said, even if it was to boo.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 8, 2014 -> 12:15 PM) Comiskey isn't one of them? The old park would have been. But overall the Cell feels too crowded, to concrete. Perhaps if I still lived back there in 2005.

Or step one in negotiating a return for this season. He sells tickets, even just for people to show up to boo him.

The ten places to scatter my ashes, in no particular order 1. Grizzly Lake, Yellowstone National Park 2. Laguna Meadow, Big Bend National Park 3. Pebble Beach, Acadia National Park 4. Phelps Lake, Grand Teton National Park 5. In the water off Laguna Station on an outgoing tide, South Padre Island, TX. 6. Little St. Germain Lake, Vilas County, Wisconsin 7. Near the library at UT-RGV, Edinburg, TX (It should be that long from now) 8. Renwood Golf Course, Round Lake, Il (if it is still a course of course) 9. Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago (near the monkeys, I want to hear people laugh) 10. Bring me someplace new.
