But, to that, I say, what is it that's been propping up the government through the 2000's (let's not talk about mortgages, ) -- foreign borrowing. We spend as fast as we get it and more. Take that away, abruptly, and we're royally screwed. Now that too many consumers cannot qualify for credit cards and such, the government will borrow the money for us and give us the loans directly in the form of economic incentive checks. But this is even better. Other people will pay back this debt!

Just wondering, if the voters in a state wished to "outsource" their representation to someone from out of state, shouldn't those voters have that right?

Let the Griffey era begin. Which will last about two months.

http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/depth...ex.jsp?c_id=cws Who actually puts these together? I never really paid attention until now.

Hmm, no option for don't read them and don't like the movie.

Neither one are exactly HoF material.

Basically it is a question only until September 1. There could DL shuffles all the way until that date. Seems like there are a couple candidates.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 08:30 AM) That is some scary s***. What do you do in that situation? I think it would be so chaotic that it would be hard to grasp what was going on. Oh I think you would grasp it quickly enough, what to do is the question. Wrestling with a mad man with a chef's knife doesn't seem prudent, but doing nothing is also wrong.

Ah, D'Oh! This ain't Scooby Do where headless men walk around.

QUOTE (JohnStamos @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 09:36 AM) Well considering the trade deadline is hours away I feel pretty confident in saying that Paul Konerko will be on the White Sox for the rest of the season. Finding someone who wants him, getting him to waive his 10-5, and finalizing a deal before 3 is not something that I would call possible right now. I agree, but it would not be unheard of that Konerko has "pre-approved" deals to a few teams.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:33 AM) Is green the sarcasm font? Yes.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:32 AM) Throw this into the random FWIW category, the Sox do now have an open spot on the 40 man roster. And a little cash

QUOTE (quickman @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:29 AM) nice... just what I expected. Well we could have post #400 wondering where he will play

QUOTE (quickman @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:25 AM) this is a joke right? Who the hell cares? Your worried about a number? I do not think anyone is worried, but it is fun idle speculation. People Magazing has built an empire over just such minor stuff. And, for the record, Swish would give up his number to a HoFer and a nice gift $$$$

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:03 AM) There has to be someone else coming to us.... Arroyo? CASH. According to the article, the Reds are picking up Griffy's contract.

Reds keep paying Griffy according to CBS sportsline. Interesting. So we basically sold them a couple players.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 08:19 AM) Probably, but, I think part of the appeal of weed for younger folks is that its illegal. I think there is a better distribution systen in place to get weed into a 18 year old hands then a beer.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 06:50 AM) Are you canadian? They defected in Canada. By the way, there is a USA law called Cuban Adjustment Law. If you oppose this law, then you should call your US Congress representative. Actually I favor equality in the law. Perhaps expand it to cover Mexico. You do not post in Filibuster, but I live on the Mexico border and favor making it easier for people to come here. I was tweaking a few noses of those who complain when a yardman or waiter "defects" but can't wait for a SP with a 95 MPH fastball to defect.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 09:00 AM) What the hell is taking so long for everything to come out? Jesus Christ it's annoying. Doesn't the score have people that can atleast contact White Sox management and find out a thing or two about the prospects or what the hell is going on with the logjam of slow in our lineup. The last thing the team wants to do is announce one of their players may be traded. Makes the player feel unloved. So it will be quiet unless someone leaks something or the deal is done. Isn;t the deadline today for unrestricted trades?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 07:54 AM) It could be a Foxsports radio station, because it was one of their guys who broke the story. Also at least in my eyes, it makes the most sense. And a Chicago station would pick that up in a heartbeat.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 07:53 AM) Are you still looking for 160 mil over 8 years in the offseason? That's what Boras says he'll get me
