If the abortion becomes complicated and requires a hospital stay, I wonder how quick Doctors will be to ask the parents to pay the bill. Let's be fair, if we want kids to make these decisions without telling their parents, then parents should not be held responsible for their children after that age (15 or whatever age we determine they can make decisions).

At 16 you can have a driver's license, a Doctor still needs parental consent to treat injuries from a car accident. Parents are still responsible for their minor children, they can be fined and jailed if the student does not attend school. They can be jailed if they do not provide medical attention when necessary. If we are keeping parents responsible for their kids, we owe it to parents to inform them of what is happening to their children.

If it is a team in the AL Central, I'd think the chances are from least likely to most likely Royals>Sox>Twins>Indians>Tigers And if there is some misrepresentation in the article, a little misdirection, I could see some team in the east, not NYY or Bos, perhaps looking at the gate possibilities with Manny in their uniform. Edit to add: my best guess is Manny or his agent planted the story, possibly his current team.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 30, 2009 -> 03:10 PM) We had unofficial halloween down here last weekend. Me and a few of my buddies went as a bunch of senile old men. It was awesome. That's me on the right, and yes I shaved my head for it. FlaSoxxJim thinks he was there, but he doesn't remember . . .

While we can come up with improbable scenarios where K-Dubya fleeces other teams, reality is, I would not be terribly crushed if we kept the starting pitching intact, kept the infield intact, replaced one or two corner outfielders, and added a lefty DH of middle of the road talent. Invite a few bullpen arms to camp and hope for a another trash heap miracle find. The issue becomes underachieving, which IMHO starts the coaching discussions . . .

One of the qualities I heard mentioned by several people in the Cardinals organization was Mac's work ethic, hard working, etc.

vacations are really nice

shall I ask how you know this?

oral sex almost took down a President

Doesn't seem credible to me.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 30, 2009 -> 11:01 AM) Which is why you should be skeptical of any poll that doesn't publish their methodology, the questions they asked, the wording they used, and the order in which the questions were asked. You're wrong though, there's lots of orgs willing to fund unbiased polls because if the unbiased poll results come down on their side it's much more meaningful and useful. QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 30, 2009 -> 11:07 AM) And if they don't end up supporting their cause, they simply never publish it, which is just as underhanded. yep

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 30, 2009 -> 11:29 AM) If the market turns slow for Dye I could see the clubs finding a way to bring him back at a reduced rate to play as our primary DH with maybe 20% of the games in the field. that

QUOTE (Heartattack19 @ Oct 30, 2009 -> 10:58 AM) Guys, thanks for your help! Tex, what is ELA? I should hear next week, pretty excited about a new beginning! I am sorry you were turned down for the program.... I am a little nervous about teaching, but think it will be a good fit! English Language Arts, use to be just plain old English class. The new title is meant, I believe, to better describe reading, writing, etc.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 30, 2009 -> 10:48 AM) we just came off an election where Nate Silver used polls to nail, almost to a tee, what the election would look like. This argument is ridiculously stupid. Anyone that took a basic level stats class can learn to understand an effective poll. The assumption here is they are meant to be unbiased, effective polls. The people funding these polls generally have an agenda. There are not too many organizations willing to fund a poll that is just wondering, in an unbiased way, about something.
