What about Mario? He's got serious podcast experience.

And, I don't want to be a jinx, but the Count has been lights out.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) We have also staged bloodless coups, but that is a story for a different day. Of course, then there's the bloody, oh so bloody, coups.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) The August Beige book is predicting that 400,000 or more people could be added to the unemployment rolls after Katrina, and subtract as much as one full point from economic growth figures http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/weather/090705...na_economy.html Would increased fuel costs and a newer reluctance for people to drive places have anything to do with that?

Seriously, though, the staff here likes to have fun too. Anybody remember the thread where Jason and I went back and forth editing what each other was saying and going into the admin panel and f***ing with each other's profiles and stuff? How many other places can that happen?

We've banned Jason before.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) linkage odly enough, found on my yahoo... That is strange. It's like if we posted a link to a news story that says quoting SS2k gives you herpes....

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) I'm donating my time today to volunteer at an American Cross blood drive, donate $50, then give some blood. Hopefully I can now be forgiven of being a huge cynical asshole. Yup. Now you'll just be an asshole.

I'll give WSI credit. They don't have a filter that automatically changes the text "Soxtalk" into "that other place" within any post. But of course, the point of that site has nothing to do with us. :rolly: .... LV... As a staff we generally like to be accountable and easy to access. If we don't email you or PM you back, chances are that we forgot, try again. The admins and mods don't try and act like they are better than anyone else here. Of course, watch out for Steff. She's got fangs.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 10:34 PM) Since people are talking attendance, did the Soxtalk & (I forget the other sox board name) outing ever happen? If so, was there tension like "West Side Story" and "Beat It?" Ooh, I can just imagine the dance off. Tomorrow. Official thread is at the top of PHT.

Zyrtec and Flonase seem to get the job done for me.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 08:32 AM) Wow does Iowa suck so bad that even people with nothing don't want to go there? Shove it.

Iowa doing it's part. Awesome.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 08:19 AM) Two words. Quantitative Analysis. You mean you business types don't like qualitative analysis? You bastards.

Maybe 1 of them?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 12:34 AM) I hate to add fuel to the fire here, but... The closest general stat there probably is when considering a catcher's calling ability is his CERA...and even that can be a horrible stat to use. Jamie Burke's CERA was in the mid 3's last year, while Ben Davis's was in the mid 4's-5's. That doesn't mean Burke is that much better of a game-caller, it means Burke was catching Mark Buehrle, while Davis was catching everyone else. The White Sox pitching staff is probably more talented than the Red Sox pitching staff, and is probably better up and down...but you're going to have a hard time convincing me that a starting catcher with a 5.05 CERA and a career 4.14 CERA(having caught the likes of Pedro for however many years, along with Lowe in his great year, and probably others who are not coming to mind right now) is a better game caller than a starting catcher with a 3.73 CERA and a career 4.17 CERA, constantly catching young pitchers and slightly above average pitchers. At the very worst, I'd say they are about the same, but I personally feel AJP is the better game caller...I've felt that all along, but I just thought he was an assclown when he was with Minnesota. Anyways, congrats AJ on the baby. It seems like the CERA would be of better use if taken against the pitchers ERA. Say AJ's CERA with MB is 2.57 (hypothetically) and since MB's ERA is 3, you could say that AJ's CERA total is .43, or a .43 effect on the ERA. Hypothetically, of course.

That was quite a jump from the last I heard.

So much power...

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 08:05 PM) Clean kills. Good for you. The deer will try not to let you suffer when they turn the tables. The thing is, they don't know that I live comfortably in the city. A LONG ways away. QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 08:09 PM) Nice. Still haven't killed a buck but I got my 1st doe last year with the 7 MM. Dropped dead on it's tracks with a double lung shot. Hmmm, none of us hunt with anything other than muzzleloaders and 12s and 20s.

That 12 is the exact one I just got, except with a B square scope, I think. I haven't actually seen it yet, it's a present from my dad and uncle. The 20 was two for two, including a doe my first year and an 8 pt buck my second year. Seemed to do the job. And then some. I shot the first in the bottom of the heart and I got the second in the heart and liver. Both went less than 50 yards and I watched them fall.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) Haha. We are very organized and we plan on putting out an issue every 4 weeks, that is our goal. I just finished my HW too. I read a chapter in our book about basic journalism jargon and how to apply your article to the audience, and learned about newsbriefs, etc. very cool class. BTW: Clusterf***......YES! We usually put one out every 3 weeks but we squeezed one in every two at times last year. How long is yours? Ours was a typical twelve page format: 1: Front, main news story, teaser, what's inside 2: news stories, ads, editors notes 3: news stories, ads 4: sports, ads 5: sports, ads 6: feature idea, such as study habits, homework loads, included surveys 7: other side of feature 8: opinion.....poll and 8 students questioned on a topic, plus opinion column 9: opinion, more opinion columns 10: entertainment 11: special, such as an election feature 12: candid photos with a theme We would have to have the paper sent electronically by Tuesday of week 3 for publication on Friday on week 3, as the local newspaper printed it. Our staff was, for all basic purposes, 12-16 kids, including editors. Our adviser also said last year, my senior year, was the least work she's ever had, so my co editor and I took real pride in that.
