QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 09:59 AM) My bad. I was under the misconception that we just got through with an evil 8 year regime/dictatorship that couldn't do anything right. I apologize. And it is a natural division of small government versus larger government.

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 09:58 AM) Possibly. I guess I agree with the overall premise that this trade won't happen. I don't have a clue what the teams can or can't talk about. I read there is a $25,000 fine for leaking waiver wire information. So they could not report pulling back the waivers without admitting he was on the waivers.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 09:55 AM) Bulls***. Were you asleep for the past 5 or so years? Shall we start the long list of things the government can't do, according to the GOP? Judicial system (activist judges) Health Care Regulate financial markets just to name a couple

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 09:49 AM) When we find out Kansas City traded a couple prospects for him? They would have won the waiver claim because of their worse record.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 07:54 AM) But please, let's continue to make sure that we talk about how bad everything is here in our country. USA SUCKS! I believe you would say our government sucks. That seems to be a GOP theme.

I could see this taking to the last second.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 08:49 AM) But but chics dig the long ball.... and by chicks you mean owners, advertisers, tv execs . . .

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 05:45 AM) see above: Ok, I should have qualified my statement. I do think chiros can help with back pain. I don't think that "spinal alignment" can affect asthma, cancer, diabetes, etc. like some chiros claim. There seems to be a chasm between these two groups of chiros. my asthma kept me from playing. I tend to agree with you.

The pursuit of HRs has led baseball down a terrible path. He does have the potential.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 9, 2009 -> 05:42 PM) I've certainly not read the entire thread, but I don't get the interest in Rios. Rather pedestrian player for the money he is going to be paid over the next years to come... Better than what we have. The best discussion around. Mystery. Intrigue.

The waiver claim is awarded to the team in the same league with the worse record, or if no one in the same league claims him, it would go to the team in the other league with the worse record. So in theory, the WS could block any deal the Tigers try and put together on a waived player. However, the downside is the Sox would have to be willing to take on whomever they claim and put them on the roster. Likewise, Cleveland or the Twins could block any deal the Sox or Tigers are trying to put together for a waived player. I did not see that posted, pardon me if that is a repeat or if my memory is faulty.

I wonder what definition eveyone is using on certain words. Atrocious to me would be someone who would not even receive a contract to play A ball, regardless of their offensive skills. Based on my definition, Dye is not atrocious. Based on a different definition, say, not one of the top 3 defenders in baseball, he is atrocious. But these silly debates are worthless unless definitions are established.

Wow, closing in on 500 posts Easily the most talked about GOP candidate

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 10:11 AM) I'd really like to know how they plan on enforcing this. About 13 states now have laws with many more expected to follow. Direct observation will be the most used technique of enforcement.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 03:16 PM) I hijacked this thread a few days ago, it's not about Palin anymore. Exactly, the Palin phenomenon is so much bigger than one person and is universal. You can participate by thread jacking! See how open Palin 2012 is?! It is an amazing paradox, it's not just about Palin, but it's all in her name! It's cosmic man. A beautiful thing.

takin' care of a small load

Could this thread follow her all the way to the White House in 2012?
