Now let us hope that we do not have to trade one of them to fill in holes elsewhere.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 08:57 AM) I could really see the Sox trying to bring Big Jim back. I know what Kenny said, but what other left handed run producers out there that fit our budget? A few reasons why Already comfy as a DH Looks good in a Sox uniform Over all good leader in clubhouse Might get his ring At a nice price Really could use to keep some power

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 07:23 AM) How does Thome not get comp? That seems crazy, unless it is tied to him being in the NL without a glove, short service with that club, etc.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 11:56 PM) No compensation for Colon????? Thats BS....we should at least get a Big Mac or two if he signs with another club. We'll save big money on the post game buffet

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 08:20 AM) That's it!?!?! What a monument. :thumbsdown: We are such a wealthy nation that we can argue this all the way to the Supreme Court, yet we can't offer medical care for the working poor?

The solution Congress approved, and the Courts rejected, sounded fine. Swap out the acreage for another tract. And I'd have no problem, in fact I would like it, if other symbols were added. I'd just like to see them in the same size and scope and with some tie in that shows the religious, and non religious, traditions of all that served and died in our defense and offense. It seems crazy today, but this slippery slope ends at Arlington Cemetery when crosses are banned.

nicely placed sir.

Well, the catch all anything thread has been going for even longer, we just occasionally kill it and restart.

BTW, this is what is being argued over

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 07:57 AM) Its a million dollars. To you and I that is a lot. In the baseball scheme of things, it is two minor leaguer's salary. It is like buying a lottery ticket for the powerball in terms of how much it cost us. At the end of the day, if he is "Fat Freddy" you cut him, and you don't care. Exactly

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 03:00 PM) I didn't even see where the had worked a collection box into the monument. I Kid Because I Care® And there we have proof that it is not religious! I Kid Because I Care® * *used by permission

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) Imagine the media firestorm had this been Glen Beck. Glen Beck would never do such a thing!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) Joe Mauer. There is no other choice.

Knowing the references in this thread frightens me.

Everyone enjoying the challenge of an alphabetical catch all thread?

Reread the article. He did not ask the *government* for permission, the government was not the land owner than. It was more he did not ask for any special government designation for the memorial on private land.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 10:52 AM) Fitting end to the season? Yep, grounding into a double play was a fitting end. And ending the disappointing season was one of the most disappointing acquisitions. Instead of the spark to ignite a pennant run, he pissed in the punch. I think he came in with too much expectations. I suspect next season to be much kinder to him. Here's to a better 2010

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 12:51 PM) and hangovers get worse with age, even if you learn to tolerate them a bit better That was a turning point in my life, I now fear the hangover. No way I want to be barfing and sweating.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/05/sup...ref=mpstoryview Story Highlights A war memorial erected in the shape of a cross was covered by plywood The cross is located on government property Justices will decide whether the display violates the First Amendment It's "sort of odd that it just happens to be in that shape," said an ACLU attorney Originally erected decades ago on private land, the land was donated to the government, now the monument is in danger. Congress, back when it was under REP control, worked out a smart solution of swapping 5 acres of and just outside the park for one acre, the acre this sits on. I'll gladly with the GOP lawmakers on this issue.

Nothing compares to the Island in October, more than makes up for August.

January will bring cooling down to the 50s.

How can it be 100 degrees in October??

Winning organizations find a way to win. It is somehow hard wired into every player.

I hope he uses this off season to prepare for a turnaround.
