QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) Dye needs to suck it up and either move to LF or 1B, or be a DH somewhere. fixed IMHO

I wonder where on the "to-do" list this was.

Who cares what he wants? He'll play where we allow him to.

Happy Birthday!

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 10:48 PM) You what Tex, you may have a point. if we know all this crap beforehand, then we have nothing to be suprised about later. No need for the opposition to try and dig up dirt, we already know it and can choose to ignore it or not. But I still would not like that ticket. Saves us a lot of time, and perhaps starts yet another reality tv show

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) But tax cuts! Everyone agrees on Tax Cuts! It's the best way to increase the size of the government when all that new revenue rolls in, plus, someone else pays off the deficit. What's not to like?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 19, 2010 -> 04:30 AM) Anyone use it or have a profile? It seems like it could be one hell of a tool for people looking for work/services, so I figured I'd see if anyone on SoxTalk had one... QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jan 19, 2010 -> 07:06 AM) I have one, but I don't really use it. Every job opportunity, internship, etc., I have found via people I know, school or on my own. I think it something that if I take the time to build better and use it more as a tool than just a standing resume, it could be of good use. It's definitely not a bad idea to create one because it can't hurt. I reunited with a couple old friends that were not on Facebook, but professionaly, just haven't found any value.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) He can screw anything he wants so long as his policies make sense and he's got some good ideas (which I think he does). He's clearly the best name on that list. But that's not saying much. Palin - Newt I like it. Besides, who wants moral and ethical leadership? We never really get it anyway.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 16, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) kap, the point was that just because they created an effective and stable structure for government, doesn't mean that they were infallible and allknowing. There were a lot of stupid, short-sighted compromises made to create the constitution, including one to treat slaves as 3/5s of a person. Did they say that the gov't should be responsible for health care? No, but they also had no f***ing idea what modern gov'ts could be capable of. 3/5 ths was an improvement from being property along with the cows and plows. Don't forget the women as well. They knew there would be a need for changes, which is why there was a method for amendments. Let's all cheer Jackson the first President of the People! Major GOTV from the common man. Inspired people to vote in record numbers. Meanwhile, we'll forget the whole Trail of Tears misunderstanding.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 07:41 PM) Companies have the absolute right to react to things that threaten their profitability. They also have the right to do what they want with the time they are paying people to be there. If they want to waste it on preaching to their employees, again that is their right. It is just as much of a right to those who are trying to put them through the wringer to get them to unionize. I agree with what you probably meant. Companies do not have the right to violate any laws in defense of their profitability. We could also discuss the moral and ethical responsibilities but I'm guessing I would probably have a longer list than you.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 12:20 PM) OR California. yeah, sure, after all you DO own this place . . .

Interesting business idea. I would not go, but I would buy some gift certificates for a few people here

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 12:04 PM) Yeah but they were all dark skinned Muslims so who cares. It is all part of our "Manifest Destiny", not only sea to shining sea, but the rest of the "non Christian" world.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jan 17, 2010 -> 07:57 AM) Depressing thinking about outdoor games right now when I dont have that option other than skiing and sledding. Unless you live in the great state of Texas fixed for y'all

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jan 16, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) In high school, our night league (intramural basketball) team's name was the Van Buren Boys. Did you finish 8th?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 17, 2010 -> 08:10 AM) If we're all lucky, Governor Perry will be successful in his secession plans. I hope we use the 1846 map when we do . . .

Golf, tennis, basketball, baseball . . . Surfing, sailing, fishing, camping . . . Washers, corn hole, horseshoes, . . .

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) The Van Buren Boys Cool, we are just finishing up Andrew Jackson, the first Democrat President and think this will be a great intro to our 8th

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 16, 2010 -> 12:50 PM) Where is the "Tex is bored and looking to stir things up" box? Third set of questions.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 16, 2010 -> 12:50 PM) You mean you violate the rights of people who don't want to be forced to pledge? Dang right we do. We kick 'em out of school if they're Godless commies and do not recite the Pledge of Allegiance. I walk around around and make certain to hear them say every word. I also start the week replaying the school talk by Obama and daily ask the kids what does Obama want you to do today?

Everyday, in schools all across Texas, we recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the Texas Pledge, followed by a moment of silence. The pledge of allegiance to the Texas state flag is "Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible." Y'all do that in your states? Damn gummit, feeling proud to be a Texan today.

It's Mark's team. Peavy has a chance to earn that honor for 2011.

I really hope he means it and it isn't Mid Winter PR bull s***. LOL I am so f***ing jaded.
