QUOTE (kapkomet @ Mar 5, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) That's true. They are doing Europe tickets out of Chicago for $400 ROUND TRIP right now. It's insane. went to italy for my honeymoon. was the best trip ever. take the train between cities, great food, amazing sites/culture. i think it comes down to... a) are you a beach guy, sit and relax B) are you an explorer, go-getter

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 5, 2009 -> 01:27 AM) Ok, for starters, ".eco" is not a "World Wide Web"... it's a top-level domain. That aside, interesting idea why not? schools have .edu

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 03:06 PM) I remember being in Vegas in Jan of 2005, and putting $20 on the Sox to win the WS. Odds that year at that time were 30:1. Then after the season ended, I couldn't find the damn ticket. Found it 2 years later when moving some furniture, after it had expired for reimbursement. that sucks. $600.

a question about spring training tickets. i'm planning on going to 2 games in late March. One at Oakland and one at Cleveland. Oakland uses mlb.com for tickets and Cleveland uses ticketmaster. Both charging nearly $10 in fees/delivery charges for 2 tickets. I hate to be a cheap as* but I'd like to avoid $20 in fees for $50 worth of tickets. Any suggestions/ideas? I guess I could buy at the stadium the day of the game, but I'm guessing that I'd get crappy tickets then.

also on CSN

no doubt about it. And quite frankly, they aren't doing themselves any good with it right now. In general, the public will give Obama sometime to make things work. More than the 2 weeks the Republicans gave them. So they are attacking a publicly popular individual during a honeymoon phase. That's why approval numbers for Congressional republicans have dropped since Jan.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 06:46 PM) Obama's approval ratings would be farther down as he'd be looking like a dishonest, out of touch, imbecile. And since Democrats hate Wall Street and Wall Street always gets its best returns under Republicans, that's exactly what they'd want. I mean, take a look at the stock market during the Bush years. From Jan 2001 to Jan 2009 it absolutely soared. You mean going from 9.878.78 to 7,182.08 over an 8 year period is a bad thing? I thought people loved a 28% drop in nearly a decade.

online streaming

god not this topic again. here comes 5 pages of rants pro/anti WBC.

does anyone know if wscr will carry the audio feed on line or not?

i think that any movement comes down to overall success. Its not a stretch to think that attendance and support go hand-in-hand with play on the field. Think Indians in the 90's. How many sellout games did they have in a row??? Now, if I had to pick one AL Central team that is destined to move, it would be Kansas City. They haven't had a quality team in nearly 15 years.

Nine Fla. Republicans want stim cash They voted no, but they want the dough. We're getting into broken record territory here on Republicans clamoring for stimulus money. Nine GOP House members from Florida, all stimulus no's, joined nine of their Democratic colleagues, all yesses, in asking the feds to grant a waiver giving them access to, you guessed it, hundreds of millions in state stabilization stimulus cash. “This critical funding is vital to protecting our schools from budget cuts and teacher layoffs. Because Florida has been hit especially hard by a rise in foreclosures, unemployment, and recent natural disasters, we are experiencing a crippling budget crisis. Now more than ever, we must invest in our state’s future,” said the letter. The Republican co-signers: Adam Putnam, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Tom Rooney, Mario Diaz-Balart, Ginny Brown-Waite, Cliff Stearns, John Mica and Bill Posey. The Dems: Suzanne Kosmos, Ron Klein, Alcee Hastings, Robert Wexler, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Kathy Castor, Kendrick Meek, Alan Grayson and Corrine Brown.

but will the games still start at 7:11

im so over this whole story. The seat is up for re-election in 21 months.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 16, 2009 -> 04:20 PM) I actually like Gov. Sanford and think Begala is a shameless Kool-Aid drinker, but he really does have a point. Find me a Republican governor who opposes the stimulus but won't take any of the federal money. At least Charlie Crist is keeping it real. edit: also, Begala's original piece that Sanford's op-ed was in response to was kinda sad. Begala never has any original thoughts whatsoever, they're all pure regurgitated Democrat talking points. and that's where I get a bit frustrated by the "partisan" comments about this bill. There are plenty of Republican lawmakers who agree with this plan or at least a good portion of the plan. They just don't happen to reside in DC and are local Govenors/Mayors, etc.
