TUC this all can be solved if you fork over $15 million dollars to the White Sox. Until you're willing to do bankroll the DFA Dunn fan club, no one will take you seriously. Your posts are beyond brutal at this point.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 14, 2014 -> 04:21 PM) I dont want Dunn or Garcia hitting behind Abreu. Who would you suggest then?

TUC is definitely on some jacked up chronic.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 04:15 PM) Spring. Training. +1 Sale isn't very good either. HE GAVE UP f***ING 6 RUNS TO THE PADRES IN SPRING TRAINING.

Doesn't Steve Smith have an ego? Would he really want to be surrounded by elite receivers as Marshall and Jefferies and play third whistle essentially?

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 12:03 AM) I'm thinking about going back to school and making a career change. Has anybody else gone through that? I'm very good at what I do, but I don't necessarily love it. It scares me to become a poor college student again after making good money, but at the same time, I think I'll always wonder "what if" if I don't do it. Am I crazy? Most of my friends I've talked to about it have told me it's a dumb idea. A few have been supportive. I'm about to turn 26 and I'm feeling the pressure. I pretty much need to make some life-altering decisions in the next 6-9 months. If I don't do it by then, I think I'm stuck where I'm at. Which isn't bad. But I feel I could do more. I'm thinking about going to med school, btw. I'm short about 3 semesters of credit, so I'd have to do that first before applying. The fact of the matter is that I've wanted to be a Doctor for as long as I can remember, and I've always regretted giving up on that. As a 20 year old kid, I felt way overburdened and didn't want to put in the time/effort. I wanted to be social and have fun. With all the extracurriculars I was part of, plus having a job, I felt I couldn't continue the pre-med path. For a while I was happy, but my last semester of college I started regretting it. And it's been that way since. Now the feeling has grown pretty strong the last 2-3 months and I think I want to go for it. But damn, it's a big life change. 26 is still young. Hell I'm going back to school to get my Ph.D next year and I'm 29. Just make sure you're doing what you want to do. You only live once.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 08:55 AM) So Rick Hahn is going to go to the media and say "We have no shot this year, just like we had no shot in 2008 and 2010 and 2012." You're absolutely crazy if you think they aren't going to try and compete. The Sox have been an increasingly inconsistent team over the last 8 years. The Tigers look like the favorites, but they lost some pretty substantial pieces in the offseason, have gotten a year older, and have a rookie starting at 3B for them. They are eminently beatable. I would only put the chances of the Sox winning the division at about 5%, but there's a lot of talent in both the bullpen and the rotation and the offense has upside that it didn't have last year. I'm always curious how people come up with their percentages.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) It works in Chicago... Chicagoans are brainwashed, not intimidated.

This story gets wackier by the minute. Is it possible the plane was just hijacked or are people assuming the worse at this point?

So Ukraine...

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 03:38 PM) I see your point, but it's still a shade of grey. She was just recently on the Daily Show about her Iraq War documentary (because what hasn't been said about that the last ten years?) and she was getting pretty animated about it. She's got an agenda for that. I remember she had a long interview with Jon Stewart on her own show and they debated cable news generally and she was convinced that MSNBC was the "truth" but Fox News was the devil and Stewart kept telling her, no, they're the same. MSNBC copied Fox News. And she wasn't buying it. She found a niche with the hardcore left. Just like O'Reilly or Hannity have found theirs. Heh wow. I am sure she has some clause saying she can't say anything negative or something about her employer. Atleast Stewart had the right idea. Do you have a link?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 03:39 PM) More like I won't subject you and your family and future family to prison camps if you vote for me. Yeah either way, there was some intimidation. I don't understand the faux elections in this dictatorship countries. Do they really believe people in outside countries are gullible to believe these people have a choice?

It's Spring Training. I rather those guys suck now and turn up the mojo in the regular season.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 01:26 PM) Kim Jung Un re-elected with 100% of the vote, and a 100% voter turnout. http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-in.../249302441.html I will actually feed you if you vote for me.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 03:05 PM) Right, it's not like journalism schools lean liberal or anything. Yeah I won't deny that. I don't really know if Jake has political allegiances or not but he seems to be a solid poster from what I've seen.

Blood is not thicker than water it seems.

Jake is studying some form of journalism in school on a graduate level if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't be so dismissive of him like that but to each his own.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 7, 2014 -> 04:19 PM) I believe in helping as long as they help as well to show the commitment. We started the college Illinois plan when each kid was in kindergarten. If they go to an illinois public school their tuition, books and mandatory fees will be paid for. They will need to cover room, board and expenses. We do part and they do part. If they don't go to school we get the money back with interest. Do you recommend using this program?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 7, 2014 -> 01:08 PM) I'd like to add that seeing these posts, Reddy fired off a succession of rapid fire and passionately worded posts, that he could have worded in a cleaner fashion but because of his direct involvement in something near and dear to him. I'm not an admin or anything, but I don't think he should be banned, he should have his moment to state his case and clean up his posts/clear the air... Technically, this wasn't in the Buster, and based on that technicality, I think Reddy should be released from prison immediately! ATTICA, ATTICA. I think a suspension will do him some good to cool off. I have a feeling he knew what was going to happen when he made those posts.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 6, 2014 -> 04:43 PM) How do you over/under something like that? They either get him or they don't. It's not like you can set the O/U at 1/4 of him and then you win if they end up with 1/2 of him. You are so technical sometimes. If you knew what I was trying to say, why bring up this s***?

This thread went to hell.

Over/under the Bears getting Bennett?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 6, 2014 -> 02:52 PM) My favorite example of this is George Lucas. He has adopted kids and his comment is routinely "I earned my money, how did you earn yours." He started a a clean up kid for Carol Shelby then worked his way up to racing for him. I started bean walking and detasseling when I was 11. My rule with my kids is that if you are in a full time sport there is an allowance based on grades. When you are not in season, it's time to earn your own spending money. I agree with the stay away from fast food concept. My job throughout college was working at Balmoral race track. I worked at McDonalds for two years. After that, I had some restaurant gigs that were not fast food, but in general, fast food is a good place to learn some basic work skills.

He's a dirtbag.
