QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) I wouldn't have done this with players that we actually could be trading. Are there ones we wouldn't?

QUOTE(shipps @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 12:10 PM) Someone smart please tell me if this is a good trade please. I need to see what their contacts look like, that's all that matters.

The job of the police should be to catch people committing crimes, not seeing how many people they can convince to commit crimes. I'm not going to differentiate if they are trying to get someone to buy a joint or commit murder. Catch criminals, don't create them.

I know where this is going.

I know he'll steal from the company, so I'm going to leave $50 by his desk. And if that doesn't work, I'll leave $1,000. And if that doesn't work, I'll leave $50,000, but dammit, I'm going to prove he's a criminal.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 11:44 AM) That's exactly it - the right tools for the job. I started doing serious Macromedia Director authoring and Adobe Premier editing around 1992, and for those apps you needed to have enough real estate to have a half-dozen tool windows and pallets open as well as your main project window. With a single monitor you'd spend half your day opening/closing and shuffling windows and you wouldn't get anything done. And for the dozens and dozens of users like yourself, a dream was realized!

You walk into a neighborhood and there are drug dealers, hookers, bookies, and child pornographers, does crime go up or down? Now what if they all are cops? When cops commit crimes we should be very wary. No matter who they are trying to arrest. There are enough people committing crimes to arrest without creating a few more.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 11:39 AM) Any chance the PTBNL is Cain or Lincecum, if people perform? No chance, guaranteed. I'd bet anything.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 11:15 AM) When did child exploitation or websites and forums that work on that become legal? Decoys have been used in police work for all sorts of crimes, why not electronic. No one entices a person to look at child pornography. You make an active choice to look at it. So why not arrest them for being on the illegal websites?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 11:15 AM) Creaper?? You would have paid $10K for a single VGA monitor that gave you anything close to the real estate of two of the standard 640x480s of the day. My point was I didn't need two monitors. Still do not. My 17' laptop display is just fine. I've played with a second monitor and so far, just didn't need the clutter on my desktop. So I guess for those that needed that much real estate, Mac was the way to go.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 10:52 AM) Your computer work needs apparently never required the use of extended mode multiple-monitors, because that's certainly not something Windows caught up to Apple on in a couple months. Multiple monitors were first supported as a standard feature on the Mac II way back in 1987. It became a standard feature on Windows as of Windows 98. The Mac II was released on March 2 1987, and Win98 was released on June 25th 1998, so by my calculations that is 135 months' lag time, Bro. Nope, I was busy using the bigger and cheaper PC monitors at the time.

Only this classic from Kong

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 09:46 PM) I loved the Konerko commercial. It made me want to take a "run Hillary run" sign to the ballpark.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 10:38 AM) Fields hit 23 home runs last season in less than 400 ab's. The talent is obvious and I think most people at this point just believe Josh is the better baseball player. Right now, Crede has just as much to prove, if not more than Fields does. They both have the same to prove, can they play like a healthy Crede for a full season at the MLB level. Can Crede do it again, can Fields do it once. I believe they both can.

QUOTE(Phil McKrevice @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 09:17 PM) Any chance the clock on the server could be fixed? It's about 20 minutes fast, and I keep freaking out when I read times on people's posts becuase I think I'm late for something. Efforting. Now if I could get stock prices twenty minutes earlier . . .

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 10:27 AM) If we had real cheap potential, we would be discussing how great Miguel Cabreras first game would be for us. Remember young good cheap prospects under control for a long time are the new currency of the MLB. Long term contracts are evil around here plus we then trade prospects at exactly the right time to win now.

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 10:20 AM) Bravo! I'm puzzled too by all the Crede hatred/Fields worship. The Uribe hatred: well deserved. Oh, hatred is the wrong word, but I've had it with Uribe's weak stick. With the addition of Cabrera (and Alexi) I thought Juan was as good as gone. There is no need for him. Cheap potential is God around here.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) I actually don't use a computer for an internet connection, I actually just sit down with a sharpened Ethernet cable and stick it into my vein. When I'm done, I take it out and swab it with alcohol. QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 08:29 PM) Y'know, you should swab it with alcohol BEFORE you stick it into your vein...lest you get a virus. Alright, I'll boo myself...BOOOOOO!!!

Based on history, we will see every imaginable lineup before April is history.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 10:10 AM) I might consider OSX if I could run it on decent hardware that didn't cost me twice as much as a comparable PC. Until that day, I won't be buying any overpriced Mac products. Twice the price may be a stretch, but they do cost more and I honestly do not see any advantage in quaility between my son's Mac and my Dell. Now I have never used a bottom tier Wintel laptop, but I'm guessing I would see a difference in quality, but then there would also be a difference with my Dell.
