  1. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2014 -> 08:07 AM) You say that to the person who biked into his office in January any time it was more than -4°C and wonder why I don't bother replying. You and ED Begley Jr are about the only ones. I'll wait until I see Algore and others of his ilk act like it is important and do it without being forced to by law.
  2. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2014 -> 04:09 PM) Seriously, anyone who thinks this hasn't sat down and added up the GDP value of "new york city" and "florida". Way to just cruise on by the first part.
  3. When the people screaming about global warming the loudest adjust their personal lives as if it were important on their own, without waiting for government to FORCE them, and everyone else, to do so, then I will give them a listen. Do we really need global warming, i mean, climate change, conferences at exotic destinations all around the globe where people travel to in CO2 spewing jets just to castigate the sheeple because they like to drive Chargers instead of Priuses? Teleconference, sell your private jet, take commercial air if you must. Stop the limos, downsize your house, without being forced to by governent actions, then I will listen. besides, it may end up being cheaper to just use our technology and resources to learn to adapt to the change instead of thinking that we can somehow change it 'back'.
  4. QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) Sure looked like a heck of a lot more than 24k tonight. I was there, and it was.
  5. Gordo will think he is still playing the Cubs and kick some butt today.
  6. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 8, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) Who is "they"? Because if you are listing Sox prices, they aren't correct. Maybe you're factoring in TM fees? Even so that's still high. Your 3rd to outfield wall seats are $46, not $72. The ones closer to the wall are $20, not $52. Bleachers are $29. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/ticketing/...layout=gameflow "They" would be the white sox ticket site, where right next to the buy tickets button it says 'tickets starting at $7'. Not sure what day you are looking at but Sec 140-145 are $72.45, Sec 146-153 are $51.45 and all the outfield is between $34 and $35. Go ahead and take the processing fees out if you want, but it IS part of the price. UNless you want to walk up and haggle with them to not get put into those far outfield corner seats that suck. As for upper deck, the first few rows between the bases are fine, but then you lack access to the lower deck (thanks to a drunk Cubs fan). I am still going, just don't like paying.
  7. They can say 'tickets start at $7' all they want, but if I am going to the game, I want to SEE and enjoy the game, not get nosebleeds and a workout hiking up to my seat. I haven't had to buy tickets for a few years, so imagine my shock when we went to buy tickets for this Saturday against the Diamondbacks. They want $72 for lower bowl between 3rd and outfield wall. Go a little closer to the wall and it drops to $52. Bleachers $35. Still going, but to my cheap-ass it is pretty steep.
  8. They are just trying to get this out now way before Hillary runs so that it can be called 'old news' and a rebirth of the 'vast right wing conspiracy' if it is ever mentioned then.
  9. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 03:20 PM) Having lived in Missouri the past three years, I'd advise you to reconsider. I'm curious as to why? Having only visited I am sure I haven't experienced the whole deal. I hear good things from the relatives I have that DO live there (2 in St. Louis, one in Bourbon, 2 just west of Springfield and a bunch by Branson).
  10. QUOTE (SnB @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 04:20 PM) Missouri? Wife has family in Missouri, south of Springfield. We are there a few times a year, except for the crappy internet and cell phone service, I have enjoyed it.
