And I think we all agree that Ozzie is near the end, the only question really is are these his last few games or will it be these last few games and a year. There is no way I see an extension coming Oz's way. We may see Oz managing on an "out year".

Good point regarding Coop not getting scrutinized as closely as Walker. IIRC Peavy's injury was partially blamed by not warming up properly, why isn't that blamed on Cooper? If it was a hitter not taking BP, Walker would be run out of town. So maybe a complete cleaning house is in order. Let the next manager bring in a completely new staff.

And I'm going to predict no matter what the team does in the off season the usual posters will predict a horrible season like they always do.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 04:38 PM) NO one did. Yes they did, just ask them And they are way better at predicting the team's finish. All those so called experts who picked the team to win the division don't know anything about baseball. people here knew Dunn would have this kind of season. They knew Rios would suck and Peavy would be injured and take longer to heal. Kenny should have gotten Pujols in a trade for three can't miss prospects while continuing to build the minor league system.

It really depends on how serious you get about TVs. I think of mine about as much as I think about my toaster. I turn it on, there's a picture, works for me. I know someone that will spend weeks picking one out and gets rid of perfectly functioning TVs because of some new refresh rate or s***. We had an Insignia in our conference room, seemed to work just fine. The picture looked fine to me.

And I am thinking they caught someone committing a crime, not me, and confiscated the property. I was not involved in whatever crime that was committed. I have in multiple locations and places talked about selling the car, I have a witness who watched me sell the car and the new owner drive off. I have a bank deposit to show receiving the cash. I'm thinking I am on pretty solid ground here.

in multiple places on multiple pages is says to ignore this if I am no longer the owner. Ignoring seems like a bad move.

Serious. FP&F Case Number 2011535200167101001 Seized for violation of Title 8 US Code Section 1324(a) I appears that they were bringing in illegals, or an illegal was driving it across the border when it was seized. I won't be claiming the property and it seems this is a not so uncommon happening here. The form I submitted to the State of Texas notifying them of the sale has not been posted yet. I'm told this really is no big deal.

Only the posters here would have predicted the kind of seasons that Dunn, Rios, and Peavy had. What Kenny has done every year, with the players available, is build a team capable of winning the division. I am amazed how many people think they could have predicted the collapse of three key players.

I just received notice from Homeland Security and Border Protection that the vehicle was seized at a border check point. I'm trying to make sense of the notice. I am but worrying also.

As we lift our heads from a disappointing and maddening baseball season and start to look around the 'net, here's what we find interesting . . . I'll kick it off with a link to The Rand Corp: The Think Tank That Controls America. From satellite communications, fail safe nuclear systems, to space stations, it all begins there.

I'm thinking with Ozzie gone, this same roster will win 100-102 games.

They arrive up to an hour early. This is before school in the hallways. If we allow them to stand, they start to run, push, shove other students. The best control for the time between the buses drop them off and the start of the school day is segregate by grade level. The 6th grade gets the large hallway by our gym. The 7th and 8th grades rotate between sitting in the cafeteria and the parallel hallway by our library and office.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) Oh absolutely.that's one reason theresa a racial disparity-minorities are more likely to end up with overworked public defenders. Actually, at least in Texas, there are laws to keep the over worked part from happening. The lead attorney must have had experience as a second in a capital trial. They also are not allowed to be working other cases. Usually the work is contracted to private attorneys at the state's rate of pay. In reality the top private attorneys are never forced into taking the work, it is usually the bottom scrapers. Your point is correct in results, just not exact in who is working these cases. (at least in Texas)

A few times a year we have an additional morning duty, mine this week was supervising the 6th grade waiting area. The main rule is they have to be sitting down. One kid kept standing up as soon as I turned my back. I went over to him and said, hey, I'm going to be reasonable and offer you a deal. There is ten minutes left until the bell rings if I let you stand five minutes, will you sit five minutes? He was suspicious because the day before I allowed one of the other 6th graders to stand, in the 8th grade area, on stage. He said he would only if I let him pick the location, I said fine, but he had to let me pick when he sat and when he stood. He agreed. I said, cool, you can stand now sit now stand now sit now stand now sit now stand now sit now stand now sit now stand now sit now stand now sit now stand now sit now stand As he is doing squats and his buddies are giggling he tells me I'm going to get tired before he will. Ok, we'll see now sit now stand now sit now stand now sit now stand now sit now stand

can't, but you can an album

Sadly Perry has the most experience with immigration issues and how they helped Texas. His immigration plans would actually play better to Dems than Reps. He hasn't really started spending money, plenty of time to get back on track.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) owned I wish I could find the study on-line, there is a nifty correlation between the rate and experience of the defendant's lawyer and the likelihood that the defendant will receive the death penalty.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 07:57 AM) Congrats!!! This is the greatest day of your life. yeah, the next few kids being born will barely crack the top twenty Congrats dad. BTW in a very short time you will be an idiot who doesn't know anything about life.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 03:56 PM) Which is why the death penalty, IMO, is being used far too liberally. It needs to be reserved not only for the most heinous of crimes, but also the cases where evidence is solid as a rock. Texas leads the nation in executing killers, and that has made Texas the safest state in the nation.
