Do we want guys on the roster that say "I'm enjoying sitting on the bench and collecting my paychecks"? I'm not certain why it would be a bad thing for a player to say he wants to play more.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 8, 2012 -> 04:28 PM) I think everyone can believe what they want. I don't see what's wrong with enjoying our 60-100 years, if lucky, and that being that. Given I don't believe in fairy tales and magic and snakes talking and immaculate conceptions, I'll go with the scientific approach. And of course science has always been correct and never changes.

I have five or six days coming up without really clear plans and was thinking about some of the really great lessons from school. Or useful stuff that doesn't really fit anywhere else. For example I learned in a college journalism class that US currency is exactly 6" in length. With the tolerances that it is manufactured under, it is more accurate at 6" than any cheap ruler you may buy at the store. Of course it isn't really practicle for measuing say 2 5/8ths but for whole numbers, it works very well. Anyone else remember something they learned in school that was like that?

Ironic that I am showing Soylent Green in my class this week. Maybe I will print out that article and have them write a response on Friday while my sub is here.

The nutritional content mirrors almost exactly what a post partum mother needs. Amazing how the design of mammals works in a natural setting.

By saving money upfront and squeezing stuff into the budget. People do that all the time.

Since it is so easy to replace closers, might as well destroy him as a closer rather than as a starter.

I am thisclose to buying a Ford F150 4x4 from a friend in the north suburbs. I have a few options for getting it to Texas. One I am exploring is shipping, anyone have any experience with a shipper? Also it has a light duty snow plow which I plan on selling. Anyone need one? It was $400 new, I'll take less than half that if you will remove it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2012 -> 10:56 AM) because it isnt impossible. Just a change of direction. Correct. Of course not many people would like to think about how nice it will be if it works out.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2012 -> 08:28 AM) Well we both know Kenny never trades anyone, and he always has the same roster. With caulfields predictions of doom and death, and fathom's worrisome assessment of Robin Ventura through 26 games, and Marty needing to trade everyone and anyone, we should really start to think about the Sox quitting the AL and moving to the Independent league. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2012 -> 09:14 AM) why the green? it is true Fixed. Just pointing out that Cowley would fit better here than we like to think. BTW, great post earlier.

I've been busy the past few days and honestly not following the team. Imagine my surprise this morning as I read this thread. I kept looking over my shoulder to the window, half expecting the sun not to rise. I don't like that the team is in a position that they feel this is a necessary step.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 4, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) If the Sun Times employs a person to portray a misogynist, then truly, anyone who links to that paper should be embarrassed. I'm not certain why you quoted my post?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 2, 2012 -> 10:59 PM) Wait you created this post before the game vs Cleveland for the first place? JINX! Everytime I see your avatar I think who is that kissing a dog and why is the dog wearing a green shirt

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2012 -> 12:29 AM) I wanted to use another example. Michael Richards/Kramer from Seinfeld. He was (rightfully) battered and vilified for comments he made while in his "comedian mode." So if he says things like that while either on stage or in the act of personifying Cosmo Kramer (but theoretically not the "real life" Michael Richards), is that not also excusable under the same protection? And what is the difference? It really depends on who wrote the script and the intent. If an actor is hired to portray a racist, etc. and delivers a credible performance as such, it is wrong to call them a racists.

How many more years do we have him locked up . . .?

This is rapidly becomming my favorite thread. I Cowley Controversy and Comments.

Or controversy as he pitches 7 1/3 giving up 1 earned . . .

I would like to see the 2-2 plan. It is a 33% reduction but you only lose one game per year. Actually I'd like to see it dropped all together but you can't put the cat back in the bag.

Not one of ours. The rental company rented the jet skis to two adults and the dad and his friend allowed the kids to operate the pwc without the proper training. These units had 115 hp engines with top speeds around 50mph. The kids were cutting in and around the fishing boat, doing donuts and finally lost control and steered right into the path of the fishing boat. That guy has to live with the accident. Sad all the way around.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 02:46 PM) So my parents decided to become permanent campers like us. Since they are going permanent, they decided to upgrade from their 23-foot expandable to a 29-foot travel trailer. We went with them to look and found one that we fell in love with. So now we are upgrading from a 12-foot pop-up to a 32-foot travel trailer. It's got an entire room with 4 bunks in the back and a TV hookup, so our kids can have their own little space. I just got the call that we've been pre-approved for the loan. Got to go up and finish the paperwork this weekend. Hopefully we'll be all be camping in our new trailers within the next 2 weeks. Anyone interested in a 12-foot pop-up or a 23-foot expandable? Both are going up for sale real soon. Actually I am looking for a pop up but the shipping to Texas may be too much.

People add stuff to their cars and don't believe they are NASCAR wannabees. People add stuff to their bikes without thinking they are Lance Armstrong.
