QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) I would just like to point out that you guys (mods. & admins) are pretty selective on who you decide to call out on the "rules". Please elaborate. Generally, I'm pretty hands-off in here especially with the regulars, except when people get to sniping one another and being snarky or spilling arguments into inappropriate threads. Please don't tell me that the mods and admins only enforce the rules on a particular set of political orientations though because there is no credibility to that statement whatsoever.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 04:18 PM) Its March 1. He's a veteran player. Rookie ball is a bit of an overreaction at this point. Quentin doesn't have a hit this spring. Should he join him? Exactly. Thank you.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 04:15 PM) Utility players must caught the ball if they are in the Majors. These are not rockets guys. These connections are very catchable. I bet you that Betemit played in the Winter League. I have to check though. I'm saying this is the first week of spring training games. The idea is to work on these things and get ready for the season.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 04:05 PM) Send Betemit to Rookie ball please. It's March 1, if this was June 1 and he was an everyday player doing this all the time I'd feel different. Betemit is a utility player.

Dotel had a handful of super megafail outings last summer which I think distorts peoples' opinion of him. I did laugh out loud at the quoting of some random messageboard chatter though.

I really try not to acknowledge Rush Limbaugh's existence.

Thanks for stealing my thread, asshole

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 07:38 PM) i believe he is a midget secret service agent. lol, Obama's chatting with him now. must be giving him instructions.

God Gordon is just having a brutal game tonight, why is Rose not in?

That kid sitting on Obama's right probably has no clue he's sitting next to the president.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 12:49 PM) One of these days MLB will get hip to the net and offer ALL games free... video and audio... live online. I like the MLB.tv option, blackout rules notwithstanding. It's light-years ahead of the NFL.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 03:19 PM) He should go to the minors. He's 20. He's not a polished 3rd baseman, and he hasn't played enough of the other possible positions. Hopefully he has a nice season in Birmingham, and if he does well, comes up in September with Beckham and Flowers. Flowers is a ways away.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) No one is going to trade for Dye, as his contract is about twice of what he'd be paid if he was a FA. Viciedo is going to start the season in ST, if for no other reason than to improve his defense. I think you meant to say start the season in AAA

Hasn't Marbury basically f***ed up the chemistry of every team he's ever been on?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 11:59 AM) (Places some powder on his hands, claps a few times) I used to love when they would be doing some pregame chats and whenever Jordan would do that you could hear him stifling laughter. The camera wasn't on him but you knew what it was about.

Michael Steele, putting the "G" back in "GOP"

I get really pissed off when I read this kind of thing. How stupid and undisciplined can you be?

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 12:02 PM) come on lost. You need a ceremony. It'd be pretty bad ass if I could just take KSM out back, plug him in the back of the head a couple times, then toss him in a ditch, then like 6 months later people start talking about him and someone says "oh yeah someone shot him in the head, that's over" Just the kind of attention he deserves. Of course I know this is the real world unfortunately.

Guys, stop gaying up my thread.

What a sad day for Bulls fans.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 09:11 PM) Other banks have so you can make remote deposits. Not just USAA. I'd never heard of it. I know Chase didn't have it. Or Wachovia, I don't think.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 09:05 PM) Personally ING or Citi have been my best experiences. ING because of the rates and overall quality Customer Service. Yeah USAA has all that. Plus I can deposit checks from my house which is just uberconvenient. The only drawback is that there is no branch for me to physically deposit cash into, but considering I basically never deposit cash, I don't care. I think only military and dependents can use USAA though.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 08:54 PM) All banks suck because theres rules they have to follow. You also must remember, banks are a business too. They're not here just to be a safe for your money, they're here to use your money, and provide a service to you at the same time. You're not going to find a really great bank other than small private neighborhood banks, if that. TCF, Citi, Chase, etc. are not going to give you customers what you are looking for. I think people expect too much. USAA = best bank ever

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 08:10 PM) The problem is you have to figure out what to do with the ones who've had their testicles repeatedly sliced with a scalpel. Truthfully I wish we could just take some of these guys out back and shoot them unceremoniously. I know that's not practical though.
