QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:50 AM) Which sounds really good in hindsight, but ignores the history of price targets that OPEC used to have. Hell their targets were in the range of where we are trading, minus $100. It makes much more sense that if prices had never gotten up that high in the first place, they would have stayed perfectly happy with crude oil in the range of the price targets, or a little higher. I'm kind of losing you here, could you elaborate?

All sports fans the past half dozen seasons have been very quick to accuse other team's players, while turning a blind eye to their own team. So I would agree many fans would be yapping if he was playing for the Twins. And I would disagree.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 23, 2008 -> 08:06 AM) Maybe I just didn't pay much attention in the past but since when do candidates announce VPs before becoming the nominee? They do not, "leaning towards" I believe was the term I used. That usually is leaked. Plus, I think there would be some pressure to be upfront early. But far and away, the best reason I see is not wanting to piss off the Clintons. Perhaps they are owed some measure of respect. I see the allure, but I have serious reservations about Obama picking Clinton as a VP candidate.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 23, 2008 -> 09:07 AM) That is the lamest musical lineup I have ever seen. Trace Adkins is about the only current headliner on that list. But they probably do not have that big of a budget. Plus, it doesn't seem like they are trying to attract the older, retired crowd. Turn Me Lose, Can't Touch This

QUOTE (shipps @ May 23, 2008 -> 08:20 AM) This shows how serious Tampa treats their baseball team. It is sad that they need to add a music act to fill the stadium for a Saturday night game.

The concerts are tied into the game as a special promotion n Saturday Nights. See the game, stay for Kool and The Gang, Commodores, Trace Adkins, MC Hammer, Loverboy and more Believe it or don't, the Bulls use to run these same types of promotions in the 1980s when a few thousand would be a crowd. http://tampabay.rays.mlb.com/tb/ticketing/...er_concerts.jsp

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 23, 2008 -> 08:38 AM) I guess I'm not sure what the wait is for. Is it so the 2 remaining minuscule states (population-wise) could be heard? Or Puerto Rico who's doesn't even vote in November? Most of the uncommitted superdelegates are from states that already voted. I would think they would make some sort of decision based on their local electorate. There are a couple reasons I could see waiting. They may want more info on who each candidate is considering for VP. What makes more sense to me is they could be waiting to see if Clinton bows out gracefully, which eliminates turning their back on the Clintons. Remember these are party insiders and owe some of the Dems success to President Clinton and might not want to be seen as hitching their cart to a new horse. You don't get to be a super delegate by winning a sweepstakes.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ May 22, 2008 -> 10:44 PM) Likewise. For my list, I took into account what they did when they played in Chicago and for long. The one and only exception, Dick Allen who of course was only here a few years. But, he revitalized a dying franchise. Wow, I thought about him as well, and for the same reasons, but in the end I do not think he was on my list. I was also thinkng about including "The Southside Hitmen" as a single entry, just like at the track.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 23, 2008 -> 07:09 AM) I'm expecting Obama to wear a T-Shirt today that reads the following: "I won the majority of pledged delegates earlier this week and all I got was these 2 stinkin' superdelegates." Nice to see the spineless Dems continue to sit on their hands. If they were bound to just follow the popular vote, they wouldn't need super delegates.

I drink 6 cups a day, actually three mugs full. Two before breakfast, one after. I use to do the after lunch cup, but as I've gotten older, it started affecting my sleep habits and countered the affects of the heroin.
