  2. balta with the breaking news.
  3. how about jason mckie jersey. Guy is fun to watch when he gets catches out in the flat and has some time to get his momentum going. He puts a hurtin on em.
  4. no my thought is that thome is getting older so ozzie may be going into this season only wanting to play him like 140 games, and meanwhile we don't really have a capable backup at 1st with gload gone, (green) and timo perez(green), maybe move kong to DH for a few and erstad at 1st. I think it'd be nice to have a pretty decent backup at 1b in case kong ever has an injury.
  5. no but i did stumble over this http://www.45rpmzine.com

    honestly, i don't see what is the big deal over whether we trade for minor league talent and they come up and are successful over drafting them and coming up and being successful, it's the same outcome and it's scouting either way.
  7. QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 03:55 AM) I think our bench could use a right handed bat with Power to give Thome days off against Tough Lefties this is my thought. Maybe he is to play a greater role at first base then what we are thinking of at CF
  8. this DJ drama s*** is really interesting. THe record companies hypocrisy has come full circle.
  9. you'll see manning for a couple years dude.
  10. AP had a great tackle on special teams today. ACTUALLY YESTERDAY NOW!! AHHHH
  11. rex was getting pressured a lot in the first half, when he got time, he had that great drive with the berrian catch.
  12. LOL i wish i could've seen that Flash. AHH i'm in heaven, i hoped after the white sox i would feel it again, i'm glad it was with the bears so soon. Just so much fun.
  13. i hope i win biggest hipster.
  14. i don't have time for full words.
  15. QUOTE(Allsox @ Jan 20, 2007 -> 05:59 PM) Best Moment: '03, when Frank hit that GW HR against the Twins on the day when we traded for Roberto Alomar + Carl Everett. Thought they were going to run past everyone after Frank smacked that HR. oh man, nice call. And Paulie who couldn't hit for a lick, ties the game up with a homer in extras after the twins went up one.
  16. i can't wait for that shirt. Someone'll do it.
  17. whenever o reilly goes to a comedy show like the daily show, realtime with bill maher, or this one, i find them unentertaining because he knows that if he takes himself seriously he knows he'll look stupid. So he just ends up playing along with the host. It makes for boring television. The only part i lol'd at was when colbert called jon steward a sexual predator and said something like, and i know you know how you have to stay away from them, just cause it made me think of his sex harassment proceeding.
  18. The point of the article was that even if you have all the transactions of the company, they are so loaded with company language and jargon that it reaches millions of pages, so we can't keep looking at it like a puzzle, but rather a mystery, so if we see something odd in a companies reports, we follow because even with all the information, it's getting to hard to decode. It was basically a suggestion on how to avoid.

    article made me feel pretty good.
  20. what the new yorker said, was that enron didn't hide anything, obviously i'm only a sophomore in college so feel free to correct me if any of this looks wrong to any of you, but that all of revenue for enron was coming on deals that they'd get paid for when the contract starts, 2016 and the like. And also was their heavy reliance on SPE's. Which i'm basically paraphrasing as i'm reading : for a high money loan and to bypass high interest, they set up a partnership called the SPE, the bank lends money to the partnership, and it gives it to the business. It does not show up on balance sheets and many companies do this. Enron got in trouble by not getting SPE loans with deals it was sure to recoup on, it was using them on less reliable deals, which is where it got in trouble. now here was the point of the article, all of this info was reported and available, unfortunately all of this was hundreds of thousands of pages, literally, and would take an expert to figure it out over weeks. As the writer goes on to say, the judge accused enron of not releasing the info in a way we could understand, yet there were summaries of summaries of summaries and it was still 200 pages that was just as complicated to understand. Now, i should clarify at this point, that he is not saying enron didn't do anything wrong, what Malcolm Gladwell, who wrote the article, is saying is that business deals are getting so complicated that we need to change the way we look at companies to prevent such a failure. As he pointed out, if we were to look at their tax returns we saw that they weren't paying any income tax, because they weren't making any money. it was really fascinating, i encourage you all to try and find it.
  21. baxter was the star of anchorman
  22. interesting reaction. I thought it looked awful. his movies seem to be nose diving in terms of quality, or at least just wearing me down.
  23. anyone read that huge story on enron in the new yorker? it was pretty interesting.
  24. as a punishment for year round warm weather. this is awful.
  25. wilco's kicking television is probably my favorite live album because i got to hear nels cline really shine. as for best of, considering blur's pension for inconsistency on albums, i found their best of pretty good.
