Obama Energy Goals Announced
Cut foreign dependence by 30% before 2025 and achieve having 80% of our energy from non oil sources by 2035. Not quite as stirring as Kennedy wanting a man on the moon. I happened to see McConnel on Channel One News and I find myself becoming more of a GOPerhead in this. I am starting to think that we should use our oil resources, that we are making it too difficult for companies to drill on US land or sea. And this isn't so much from an economic pov, but shouldn't we have the same environmental pain as the countries we buy from? Is it right we hide the environmental impact of our consumption by buying from other coutries?

Pre-Internet Habits
I had a friend record Sox games on VHS and send the to me in our company's overnight delivery. I used a real modulator / demodulator to dial into The Well, Exec PC, and some others. That was before GEnie, Compuserve, AOL, Earthlink. Wrote letters to friends

Peavy had rotator cuff tendinitis
I was reading the tweets and getting excited. Then I found out it was "friendly fire".

From the old guys . . .
Y'all have the day you want. The goal of my original post was to urge you to enjoy the games. Sorry that was so f***ing offensive. Some of you will learn nothing in the next thirty years of life worth sharing, but most of you will and I hope you at least attempt to share that. Life can be a learning experience, if you let it. A lot of people put words in my mouth, and decided they knew what I was "really" saying. I can tell you that most were very wrong. The mods and the admins are aware of the conversations that led to the post and the sincere manner in which it as intended. So for some I say, I hope this is a great day for you. For others, I hope you have the type of day you want. I will never wish a great day for people who would prefer to have a s***ty one.

I'm wondering if some of you go off on a clerk that tells you to have a nice day?

I wrote a heartfelt post urging people to have a great time following the Sox this summer and you s*** all over it. So fine, don't have a great time. Find fault in everything. Not taking a jab at you, just trying to meet your needs. Now, I will be putting you on ignore.

Like I said Milkman, I am so sorry that I urged you to have a great time at the park this summer. That was condesending. I hope you have a s***ty time at each and every game. Find a problem with everything you look at. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 07:38 PM) The hate comes out because you constantly make smug comments like this.

I am still having problems with Firefox 4.0 I can only start at thebeginning and, for example the onl way to go back and add the space between the and beginning is to delete from here.- Payroll Too Big

I'd love to hear who you think is unbeatable with no question marks, regardless of payroll.- From the old guys . . .
No doubt I would have looked at the post differently at 20. Part of that was all the angst and frustration I had as a Sox fan. If history goes in cycles instead of a series of great teams after following the team for 40 years, some of you will look back, and I hope I am wrong, and realize this is the best stretch of Whote Sox baseball. I hope some of your memories are not clouded in excessive negativity. But hoping for happy memories for people seems to bring out the hate in some people. So for those, keep under the dark cloud.- Job Hunt Thread
Yep. Or during your first week.- Payroll Too Big
There is a range of possible results from these guys. To win a WS, even after rebuilding, guys have to play at the top range of possibilities. You can't put a team together that can play bad or average *and* win a WS.- Job Hunt Thread
BTW, isn't it about time for you to get another job offer?- Payroll Too Big
World Series are won on the field with players having excellent seasons, staying healthy, and avoiding bad luck. This team has the talent to compete. Rebuilding is a romantic notion that somehow at some future date you will have a better team. If it was that simple everyone would do it. Rebuilding today is buying a couple free agents, trading your Reeds for MLB ready players, and having a few guys catch lightening.- Why do we open in Cleveland?
Baseball has to live the lie that April and October are baseball months.- Arguments for Dunn's spot in lineup
Any of these scenarios are great if it is because people are getting on base. If it becomes Ozzie shuffling lineups like during the Jerry Manuel years, than ::SS, you may need more room on that island. That could be a lethal order.- Arguments for Dunn's spot in lineup
And I'm hoping someone else earns it.- From the old guys . . .
