QUOTE(El Piervizdyeguchansodnik @ Mar 2, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) Might as well just sell the team to them. Pathetic. If companies started buying sports teams, tou can come up with some pretty interesting combonations... The Miller Genuine Draft Dodgers The Dodge Chargers The Labatt Blues The Ford Broncos The Gillette Knicks The Visa Bills The Chevy Astros The Clorox White Sox?

He must not realize that in the middle of winter, 15 degrees is considered warm around here...

QUOTE(juddling @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 12:18 PM) Gee....where is Tony G. when yo uneed him?????? oh yeah.....that's right he's stuck in KC Damn!! juddling It's sad too because he was a great utility backup. He'd rather be a starter on a last place team than be a backup on a contender...

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) It just needed a touch of green. Anyone concerned about *why* guch cannot play SS? Bad shoulder?? Or just tryiing to help him adjust? He hasn't even played SS in Japan since his shoulder injury. The throw from 2nd is much shorter...

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 09:08 AM) The frisbee is nice, but this year, I expect hitters to sit back and wait for it, he's gonna throw you one or two per at bat. I know it's a big adjustment for hitter, but I fear hitters are gonna start tattooing it for like 500 ft. homers. I wonder what that would do for Shingo's confidence. That's what people kept thinking about Foulke too...

Just "fan" works but yes, you got all 3. With thieves I consort, With the vilest, in short, I'm quite at ease in depravity; Yet all divines use me, And savants can't lose me, For I am the center of gravity. Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it, Five in the middle is seen; First of all figures, the first of all letters, Take up their stations between. Join all together, and then you will bring Before you the name of an eminent king. If you were pushed down a flight of stairs, what would you fall against?

When I am filled, I can point the way; When I am empty, Nothing moves me. I have two skins, One without and one within. What am I? I have hands that wave at you, Though I never say goodbye. It's cool for you to be with me, Especially when I say, "HI." What am I? Until I am measured, I am not known. Yet how you miss me, When I have flown! What am I?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 12:43 PM) apparently not, I guess. Another thing, she was unaware it was being taped. So, suddenly now that she knows it was, she wants to find the guys. As if it was OK when she didn't realize they were being taped. I'm sure guilt and shame had a lot to do with her keeping it bottled up for 20 years. Who knows what those guys threated to do if she ever told anyone. Now that she has undeniable proof that it happend, I'm sure she would like to see justice served.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) how did he recognize her from 20 years ago? I've seen pictures of my wife when she was 12. She's pictures of me at that age as well. I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult...

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 12:12 PM) Really.. I could have swore I heard that since this was created that something like 34 newborns have been left with no questions asked.. That may be state-wide. I was talking about Rockford only.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 08:49 AM) Actually it's hospitals, police stations, and fire houses. http://www.safeplacefornewborns.org/statefiles/il.html Illinois: You can leave your baby, up to 3 days old, with a staff member at any hospital, fire-station or police station in Illinois - no questions asked. IIRC, the very first person to actually take advantage of this in Rockford was just last year. Not very many people do even though it's been all over the news and newspapers...

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) I just think that no one.. regardless of race, gender, family status, or worth is anymore at risk than anyone else. I guess it depends on what you define as a "bad home". Maybe it's the kid who's parents don't pay enough attention to them. Maybe it's the kid who's parents already abuse him/her. IMHO, it's those types of kids that would be an easier target compared to one that has parents who are very involved and have a very open relationship with their kids. Would the teacher have started some kind of relationship if she knew the kid would go home and tell his parents what was going on? On the other hand, I would agree that anyone (no matter race, gender, etc.) is at anymore risk than anyone else from some Joe Blow child molester who just happens to like the way they walk down the street.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) amazing that a quarter can be 1,000 times the amount it's supposed to be.. The same thing happens when a particular person signs his/her name on a ball/card/napkin etc...

Is it illegal for a teacher to have a sexual relationship with a student or are these teachers getting arrested because the students are under 18? If the students were over 18 would it even make the news???

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) They were deducting 401K funds WITHOUT your permission..?? Umm.. you better make a fuss about it. It's against the law and you should report them. It was called profit-sharing. I don't know if it's the same thing or not...

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) Wooh, good. Brian's last company f***ed him on his. He filled out all the paperwork and his current company sent it in, but they still cut him the check (something like 1/3 of it went to taxes and penalties). Same thing happened to me. I had a second job and they were taking money out when I didn't even want them to. I got a check when I quit and had to pay penalties because of early withdrawl. It was only $30 so I'm not going to make a big fuss over it though...

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) not for the devil rays! It's not like its the Cubs or something... If I had a chance to play professional baseball and it happened to be the D-rays who drafted me I sure as hell wouldn't say no... Even Jerry Hairiston, who grew up a Sox fan, is playing for the Cubs.
