QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) Minneapolis is not one of the league's smallest TV markets. This misconception is ridiculous and is based on the Twins owners pinching pennies. With a new ballpark and plenty of new revenue coming in from it, they have no excuse not to spend money on the team now. I thought (And I could be wrong) that the area was huge for winter viewers, small for summer.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) Is there really that much more room for revenue growth in NY/Bos? Good point and it makes the Twins a better draw on the road.

There are all those pretty oil rigs, and IIRC don't I have to get around to the east coast?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 09:54 PM) At least there is some concentration going on in Texas. Don't make me sail over there . . .

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 09:50 PM) Hey dude, do you remember how you used to prepare the liquid cheese from the big industrial cans? Did you just pour it into a pot and heat it up and serve it? Or did you have to pour milk in it, too? The reason I ask is because I never noticed anyone mix milk in with that stuff. The stuff in the cans you buy in stores around here all require it. Basically the cheese is concentrated.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) And Rick Perry is part of that WEAK GOP field. Exactly. And again, and just the opinion of the writer, it is exactly the sort of situation Perry has capitalized on time and time again. He keeps turning up in the right place at the right time.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) About how much milk in proportion to cheese are you supposed to pour in? I worry about diluting the cheese too much. The ratios are on the can. And I've seen the stuff at my local mega mart and Wal Mart. It's with the 10 gallon 1,000 Island Dressing and the "Float a boat in it" BBQ sauce.

Most of the stores by me sell it I've picked it up at Sams Club. Basically you have to mix it with milk and heat it up.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) So you're saying Perry/Palin '12 for President of the Republic of Texas? I don't know of any other big cities they could win across the country. Heck..they'd come in last place in Austin come to think of it. First off, there are not too many large GOP cities. He'd probably carry many of the Bush states. And the Palin thing was just a toss in. The other factor they mentioned in the article was the weak GOP field.

She has an image of who she wants to be with and she's trying/tried her best to mold you into that. Then she started thinking she didn't have the right materials to work with, and thought about this other guy. At some point, sooner rather than later, find out what she is looking for and see if you can be that guy for the rest of your life. From what I read, I'd tell her that you need some space to work this all out in your heart and in your head. See what her reaction is. If it isn't close to what you gave her, this relationship will continue unbalanced with you giving more than receiving.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 07:39 PM) With all due respect, I thought Republicans were supposed to be wrapping their heads around winning over voters who live in these things called cities. Perry and Palin? Cities? Like Houston #4 San Antonio #7 Dallas #8 Austin #15 Fort Worth #17 El Paso #20 Seems like there are plenty of city people and cities in Texas. And Kap, grab the Texas Monthly on the news stand before the Bum Steer awards issue comes out this week. They build a very convincing case. He's one of my favorite Republicans. You know, after you and 2k5

I finally finished the article. In a nutshell, the rational that he could win . . . Governor of a large GOP state Texas' economy is doing rather well Guess who is Finance Chair for the Republican Governor's Association? Perry, which gives him access to national money. He's a battler and survivor So my GOP buddies, he could be your guy. Perry - Palin '12

It is a good sign for baseball's smaller markets. I also think it is bad for baseball in one way. One of the best talents is in one of the smallest TV markets.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 10:57 AM) Buehrle just out of respect for the fact that he has been THE guy for the Sox for the past decade. Peavy should understand this. QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 11:10 AM) Mark has earned it and I am sure Jake won't mind at all QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 03:56 PM) Buehrle. It is his team until proven otherwise. Exactly. No doubt in my mind. You have to earn that start on the team the year before.

Your are fine and that is a manly vehicle. For every state except Texas, we wouldn't even let our women drive one.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) "OMG what idiots some Texans are" Interestingly, this is exactly what many SoxTalkers say to themselves an average of 16.35 times a day while browsing this site. Since you took the time to research and make it accurate. Now get off my lawn

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) That is insane about having Thome Jerseys done already. You gotta love American marketing and manufacturing What really amazes me is when we piss off some s*** hole country with two airplanes and a leaky boat half way around the world and within 3 hours they are burning dozens of US flags. Where the hell do they get them so fast?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 01:02 PM) lol, is this a joke? I wish it were . . . Seems when the tv and radio reports ran, many people misheard the name. We were just going to call them end of course or EOCs, now we have STAAR

I just heard that Texas is changing the name of some exams we will be giving in our secondary schools. The original name was to be End of Course exams. The name change was made necessary when our Education agency was flooded with calls demands to know why kids would be given intercourse tests before graduating.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 07:41 AM) i'd rather you all just secede I'm all for it, I just hope we get to use the 1846 map . . . And if y'all think the OPEC countries are rough with y'all, wait until you have a bunch of Texans supplying the batteries for your toys

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 08:53 PM) I just watched 5 minutes and couldn't stand it anymore. It's the same spew for 2 years now. He's still campaigning. I find it interesting that you would prefer a candidate/elected leader who, after getting elected, would stop working for what got him elected. I find it refreshing that someone actually is trying to follow through on the plan they "spewed" to get elected. Yep, he's continuing to campaign for the stuff that got him elected, as promised. I wish we had more, not less, leaders doing that. (Even if I do not agree with some of it).
