Come on, without a laptop and internet connection, how is POTUS2k9 Going to post on Soxtalk? I was going to learn him some politics in the 'buster

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 11:17 AM) Run the country? Exactly. What CEO under 70 years-old do you think is untethered? It's like the POTUS has to Hey Mister an email?

Personally, I understand the security aspects, and the fear of anything and everything becoming public, but it seems like there should be a middle ground here that would allow the President of the US to use some tools. No computer on his desk? That's crazy. No computer, no cell phone, no crackberry? What's left to do? Hey Monica, whatcha doing . . .

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 11:11 AM) I'm not interested in the partisanship aspect. I think the interesting aspect of his choices so far is that he's building a team that knows how to work with Congress and pass legislation, whether or not they were the most effective partisan warriors. That sounds like an oxymoron.

I'm guessing Balta already posted this, but I seemed to have missed it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27740220/ We should have known More, much more than this, at the link.

That is really cool. I'm wondering when the home version will be available. ^^^^^^^^ Green

It certainly is nice to see that Palin has had a lasting impact on political discourse in America.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle5172770.ece I have an interest in live aboard sailing and have been following reports of pirates in the Gulf of Aden. They have been attacking private yachts for quite a while now. There have been efforts to create a corridor for private non commercial vessels to pass. Many people retire to boats, much like RVs. They cruise the world or just stick to the Caribbean and such.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 08:49 AM) It looks like this was based off just this past season. That is kind of what I thought. But then JD's last three seasons were mentioned, and which GMs would take Danks. So things get a little muddied.

Palin 2012 There is a little bit of irony that people talk about how biased the media is, and how great bloggers are. I wonder how many people voted based on b.s. and falsehoods about a candidate?

It would be helpful to understand how you defined "top"? Over their career? Last season? Last couple three seasons? Their best play for a week or two? How you predict they will play next season? In what order baseball GMs would want them on their team?

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 01:09 AM) Would you save the snakes or let them burn? How would you save them if you decide save them? Where would you put them? Who would have thought that baboons would be at a snake farm. As it turns out they have two buildings and the snakes were fine. With the very cold weather we were experiencing in the area, down in the 40s, they decided to put a portable space heater near the enclosure. That seemed to be the ignition source. I'm not certain, if the snake building was on fire, I'd be the first one through the door.

I spent mine in Mexico.

My son and I were up in San Antonio this weekend and Friday night as we were driving to San Marcos we see a fire raging about a half mile ahead of us. I said I wondered what was on fire. He replied, isn't the snake farm around here? I hate mother-f***ing snake farm fire

QUOTE (YASNY @ Nov 14, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) Why is it when we are talking about potential trade value of our players they are always worthless, until we actually do trade one of them and we never get enough for them? Shhhh you're making sense. No seriously, we need to trade guys with value and keep the guys that suck, so the team will not suck

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 14, 2008 -> 09:16 AM) I would think guys that didn't care if they played or not would be a bigger problem.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Nov 14, 2008 -> 01:33 PM) I think Tex is a nice poster and all but I would never give him 20 million a year let alone for 10 years. Id offer more around the 14-16 million range especially if Im going to give him that 10 year security blanket. Thanks. I know y'all like my posts and all

FlaSoxxJim, you know when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea: have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener!
