Away from here, take some time and think about everything you did and everything she did. Start a journal and list the stuff that you think was positive in your and her behavior, and the stuff that sucked. List the traits you liked about her and the traits that you could live with, and the traits that would be deal breakers down the road. Most people spend more time thinking about and planning a vacation than in selecting the one person who will have the most impact on your future happiness, what you achieve in life, and a whole lot more.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 8, 2008 -> 07:26 AM) I will take this as sarcasm This isn't a World Series team. Imagine the prospects we could pick up for these guys. They have way more trade value then Konerko and Dye.

The old guys will, Thome, Konerko, AJ, Crede, JD, Buerhle, Javy -- They all need to be traded The guys that had career years. CQ, A-Ram, Danks, Gavin etc. Trade them while their values are highest Some of the guys like Jenks who just kind of stayed the same, are probably ready to decline. Trade them.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 8, 2008 -> 05:58 AM) Jager. . . ugh. My Grand Tiki Adventure has brought me to the Donga Punch, an original 1937 drink by the Father of Tiki, Donn the Beachcomber. Lime juice, white grapefruit juice (rare for tiki drinks), cinamon infused simple syrup, and a generous pour of 5 year Demerara rum (I can't afford the aged Martinique rhum Donn used originally) makes for a really exceptional and different drink. If I find the grapefruit is making the flavor profile a little dry or bitter, I'll sub half of that with pineapple. I'm really liking El Dorado Demerara 5 year as the backbone in several faux tropicals. Makes great whites (coconut milk and nutmeg, Mmmmm) and Tahitian sunsets really come together, and also makes for a really nice mai tai if I don't want to use up my favorite 15 year Demerara. Also working out the kinks in a traditional "one of sour, two of sweet. . . " Jamaican rum punch. Equal measures of light, golden, and dark rums and a secret slug of Jamaican strawberry syrup make a decent punch, but substituting aome allspice-infused Wray and Nephew overproof for the light rum definately brings it up a notch. I am getting in a kayak and crossing the Gulf to go drinking with you. I figure crossing the Gulf in a kayak is safer than the following consumption of alcohol. You got me thinking. My gf does not like coconut, which knocks out many tropical drinks. The Donga Punch outline just might be perfect.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 11:37 AM) Experts: Palin Owes $25K In Backed Taxes On Per Diems So, Palin and her husband want to secede Alaska from the US and reinterpret the IRS tax code. odd. Not that unusual to have a deduction disallowed. In the grand scheme of things, it's a minor error and with the IRS tax code, these issues often time are just a matter of interpretation. More technical than anything else. As I mentioned, I've been down this road.

I'm wondering which non roster players were in the dugout in 2005 that were on the roster here in 2008 and how they fared in 2006 etc. BA is the only one I thought of, and his 2006 kind of sucked.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 10:14 PM) Funny you mock that, as I think trading Floyd would be an amazing move by KW. No I actually agree. The only guys we really want to keep are the guys without any real value. Basically pick up a bunch of prospects and try again in five or six years. Danks and Floyd will be too old for the next run.

You have to trade CQ and A-Ram, there values are sky high right now. Probably Danks as well. It will be tough for any of those three to continue at this pace. We should have cleaned house last off season. The Tigers and Indians are too tough to compete with.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 07:16 PM) So every scout participates everytime in every activity? That's news to me. Ask John Danks what a year of hanging around Mark Buehrle did for him. In a properly run Scout program, I can't think of an example where they are told not to. Perhaps there is one. But I can't think of a time they come to an activity and told to just sit in another room and watch and *maybe* someday you'll have a chance to do this. But I only have 20 years into the program And that is really a side note. How important is it to win, and how important is it to get AAAA players time hanging on the clubhouse couch while the rest of the team takes the field? I believe winning is far more important than player development during the playoffs. That is what September call ups are for. Anything that helps the 25 man roster prepare to play is good, anything that detracts from that is bad. If Broadway and Logan hanging around helps the team win, I'm for it. If Mark said he needs Logan in the clubhouse, than Logan whoulsd be in the clubhouse. But I've never heard that. I agree it is good experience for the developing players, but at what expense? Obviously they can't have every minor league player hanging out, so how many is the correct number? The more the merrier? I don't know. But I really can't get too worked up that someone who may never be on a playoff roster for the Sox didn't watch the game on the clubhouse couch. And I would use Danks as an example also. He watched Mark then put what he observed immediately into play. Day in and day out. A couple games would not have made that same difference. And for some of the guys that are called up in September, that is the time for that experience, not adding to the carnival of the playoffs. Again, not dismissing the value to the minor leaguers, but not seeing any value to the 25 man roster and their goal of winning.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 02:34 PM) Come on, you of all people should understand the value of having the younger group hang around the people who have been there to learn how to behave and think like big leaguers. If not, you are probably wasting your time and effort in the boy scouts. My point is this is time to get a job done, in Boy Scouts we would have the kids actually participating, not sitting on the sidelines or on a couch far away. So if Broadway declined an offer to actually play, then the analogy would hold true. But to think the Sox need Logan and Broadway to cheer them on or support them seems silly to me. A locker room full of hanger-ons seems like a distraction, not a help. Guys that made a contribution during the year like CQ or JC, make sense, AAAA players can stay home.

QUOTE (MAX @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 02:53 PM) I am just saying we shouldn't assume he doesn't care. I think he cares. The fact that he sucks is undeniable. He has provided prove he cares, he cares about the millions he will have as he sits on the beach. That was his quote, no guess on anyone's part. I generally agree about making some of these assumptions, but this seems pretty obvious.

He dates an executive from Fannie for 7 years and says there is no conflict of interest. Is Barnet Frank related to Barney Frank? By extension, every elected official has a conflict of interest when they date sice every business is affected by their actions. They just have to know when to sit out debate.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 04:54 PM) Yeah, I am the one posting it HERE, but it isn't Republicans or conservatives bringing it up out in the MSM. I've heard some people not voting for Obama because he's Muslim and/or black. I've yet to hear someone not voting for McCain because he's white. Sad but true in 2008's America. It's wonderful we've come so far that he has a chance, but it still is not an even, race neutral contest, and probably never will be.
