Tell us about Sanchez? Is he good? Where'd we get him, etc? I'm ready for a new 2B era to begin in Chicago if Becks has another blah season.
Right now Carlos Sanchez is just a good average hitter and a good defender, let's not hype him up but let him develop instead IMHO.
I agree with everything Rock and Jake said, and saint please don't take my words the wrong way I'm simply trying to bring out the best from you, do not settle, strive to be the best kind of speech.

With a name like justBLAZE I'm not sure if this is sarcasm?
I didnt mean literally ALL their money on it but to go with the context of what I said they certainly wouldn't loan me more than like 20 bucks. I'm already smoking these guys herbs for free and I'm gonna ask for money???
They spend about $140 of the $500-550 they make a week.
They're not bad guys, we talked sports, played video games, and smoked a lil ganj. Nothin wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with that, I'm just kind of giving you s***.
Maybe I will get flamed for this because I realize there are plenty of successful people here who like to smoke but I honestly I was gonna say (and I realize you said you quit) quit smoking that s*** everyday, people that have their life focused on smoking weed usually don't go anywhere in live. I mean yea that s*** was cool in highschool but come on man time to grow up and focus on other things. Just my two cents.

It may be an excuse but its a valid excuse. I've got no family to borrow from, all the family members I know are somewhat poor. All my friends spend their money on weed and house/apartment bills...A fundraiser might be feasible for a sick child, but no ones gonna give me money to start a restaurant.
I don't know about you guys but nothing in my life has ever been given to me. I had a job at 16, and since then the only thing thats been given to me was a roof over my head and when I'm not working, food on my plate.
The only way I'm getting a restaurant is if I work my "mediocre" security guard (I know people who would kill for a 11 dollar an hour job) and save up an do it myself.
It's not as easy as you wanna make it sound, esp for a guy like me.
Sounds like a bunch of winners.

He will turn 38 next July. PEDs & greenies are illegal. Keep that in mind people.
I want nothign to do with ARod, Buster Olney just said he spoke to a couple of GMs and they said if he was a free agent, he is worth 1 year $5M. He will be traded this offseason that's for sure.

Is Sox Fest something worth attending? Not really familiar with all that goes on, but it might make a nice X-Mas gift for the Mrs.
Went to my first one last year and loved it personally. But it did get expensive between hotel, passes, food, drinks and parking it was PRICEY.
