Zero chance I could leave it alone. I reached into itsd cold, cold heart and gently revived it.

QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Oct 30, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) I think we're now doing 10% of the company (~150 personnel) every Monday and 100% once every month. I'm not sure though, because I don't really keep track. Damn, they spend a lot on drug testing.

Check out the ad that pops up when looking at this thread lol

I'm curious, how often are you drug tested?

X will end this thread, but not today.

On this day I don't mind chasing rabbits. What is your definition of winning a trade? Actually scoring who wins or loses a trade is too subjective to really be debated by discussing actual players and trades. If team A is 50% away from a WS and team B is 5% away and they make a trade where team A improves 35% and team B improves 5% and wins a world series, who won the trade? Who benefits more? If I improve 20% and you improve 15%, did you really lose the trade? You made your team better. You would have lost if you didn't make the trade. I don't think you can judge how your team does in a trade by judging what you gave away. Did you make your team better with the trade? If you did, then you won the trade. No matter what the piece you gave away does.

One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's "off with her head!" Remember what the dormouse said: "Feed your head Feed your head Feed your head"

I understand there is a bootleg of a concert where they played the entire Beatles White Album. I know someone who is rather eager to hear it, but has not been able to locate it. Anyone have an idea where I could find it?

QUOTE (jwmann2 @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) It's pretty simple. You surround the organization with people that are passionate about the franchise. Mark Mcgwire is the hitting coach for the Cardinals. They are playing baseball tonight..... Frank Thomas was almost as good of a hitter as Mcgwire. The only area that Mac excelled over Frank was steroid aided long balls.

Someone name a hitter whose style would work for every player? I'm not certain what Cooper may have shown in his 1-5 5+ ERA MLB career that would have proven he would be a good pitching coach. A good coach has to be more than do what I did . . . He has to understand the basics, the fundamentals, be a great communicator (where I think Frank may have a challenge), have a good eye for details, be able to encourage, be a good teacher.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 29, 2011 -> 01:38 AM) Are people finally going to admit the NL inferior league stuff is crap? Two years in a row now. The NL isn't weaker than the AL. If it is, then why does the NL keep winning the f***ing WS? Different styles of play

I must have missed it but why would TLR leave the town that loves him for the team that fired him?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 08:06 AM) Do you feel the same way about the workplace urine tests that people with jobs that support such benefits are often required to take? I am against them without some reason, in law enforcement we would say probable cause. The situation I can remember was a company I was working for was acquired by another. The new company had a program of random tests. In the first wave of tests was out CFO. The man was 68 years old, only working to help ease the transition or he would have retired six months earlier. In thirty-five years working for the company he had taken three sick days, all when he had a hernia repaired. Almost never late, took his vacation, was an all around great employee. Why would you insult him by checking him? He went into the bathroom, peed in the cup, went back to his desk and wrote a letter of resignation. Best part, he never cleaned out his office, by the next day the new company was paying him 2X his old salary as a consultant. That was the most expensive drug test that company ever gave. I think there has to be some job performance issue that triggers the search of your body. Absences, lateness, mistakes, something.

Washington may be the father of our country but Franklin fathered a whole lot more and on two continents

Sucks that one team has to lose. I really hope for a well played game where one team goes out and wins it, no scapegoats, no errors, no fluky crap or bad calls.
