QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jan 24, 2006 -> 07:36 PM) Actually, Bulls should've jumped on Carter because he's the exact player Pax is looking for - a guy with low trade value for whatever reason, but can consistantly create for himself and who'll get calls. Vince is still a superstar and he would look good on the Bulls right now. Oh well, I digress. VC never said he wouldn't play. He said (once he was with NJ) that he didn't give 100%. Zo though, flat out said he wouldn't play for Toronto and was able to walk away with tons of cash, plus a new contract on the team he wanted to be on. Carters trade value was low last year because he was never healthy, he was taking plays off, not giving 100 percent, not working within the system. If he would have come to the Bulls last year, I am sure Skiles would have already jettisoned his lazy ass out by now, he isnt a skiles or paxson type player whatsoever. Pax is lookign for hustlers, people who want to win, he has been quoted as saying such many times. Carter didnt fit that mold whatsoever, he is a prima donna whose game is scoring, not defending. Thats the reason Tim Thomas is taking his 14 million dollar vacation, for the exact same reason.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Jan 24, 2006 -> 05:14 PM) Interesting... See, thats what I thought. You listed their bullpen earlier as fine with the removal of Rhodes, but its also the removal of Riske. They lost their 3 main setup guys from last year that made them one of the best bullpens in baseball, and replaced it with 3 guys who are invited to ST with minor league contracts. As a whole, the Indians may be getting better down the line, but from last year to this year they are really downgrading their pitching.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 24, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) Not only a personal attack, but what if a slut should happen to join us here on Sox talk? How do you think that is gonna make her feel Kyle? Jeesus. so many jokes, so little time

Well I hope the rest of it is tasteful, because Ozzie just looks slutty in that plaid skirt. Oops, was that a personal attack?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 24, 2006 -> 01:57 PM) I would put that second to the left hand side exits on 290. LOL! So true

probably just rumor regurgitation on the website.

I see this as something that Disney had to do. Pixar has become their lunch ticket, and when they had that public split a year or so ago, there were lots of different stories coming out saying that Disney was pretty upset because their big movies have come out of Pixar technology in the past 10 years. Kind of sad though. We all must start preparing ourselves for direct to video/DVD Pixar films.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 24, 2006 -> 09:32 AM) You have reading comprehension deficiencies, Rock. I'm done with you too, because you can't understand simple Business 101, (or English 101 as well!). We have comprehension deficiencies? We dont understand Business 101? Thats rich. I so quickly forget that we are all dealing with The Donald here, so please forgive me. I havent seen someone pwned this many times in a thread since Anthrax proclaimed the season over because we didnt acquire Orlando Cabrera.

I was reading one of my favorite sports radio bloggers, and he threw this in there Talk about delusions of grandeur. This kid thought he was the next Barry Sanders, no doubt in my mind. Could he have sabotaged his own life any more than he already did?

What do you call a woman who has lost 95% of her intelligence? Divorced ************************ This farmer has 500 hens but no rooster so he goes to his neighbor and asks him if he could buy a rooster for $100. The neighbor says, "You can have this rooster. His name's Roy. He'll get all your hens pregnant. He's a real stud." So the farmer takes him home and says, "It's your first day so take it slow, okay?" The farmer puts Roy in the hen house and then hears all the hens crying and yelling. Roy nailed every one of those hens and then nailed a duck and a goose at a pond. The next morning the farmer finds Roy lying dead with his legs sticking in the air and buzzards circling overhead. The farmer says, "Roy, did you have to die?" Roy says, "Quiet! They're about to land!" ******************************** A blonde goes into a laundry mat and asks to have her sweater cleaned. The laundromat attendant doesn't hear her correctly and says, "come again?" The blonde blushes slightly and giggles, "oh, no it's just mustard this time." ********************************* Husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop with their nine children. A blind man joins them after a few minutes. When the bus arrives, they find it overloaded and only the wife and the nine kids are able to fit onto the bus. So the husband and the blind man decide to walk. After a while, the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind man as he taps it on the sidewalk, and says to him, "Why don't you put a piece of rubber at the end of your stick? That ticking sound is driving me crazy." The blind man replies, "If you would've put a rubber at the end of YOUR stick, we'd be riding the bus... so shut the hell up." ********************************* The Lone Ranger was ambushed and captured by an enemy Indian war party. The Indian Chief proclaims, "So, you are the great Lone Ranger. In honour of the Harvest Festival, you will be executed in three days. But, before I kill you, I will grant you three requests. What is your first request?" The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse." The Chief nods and Silver is brought before the Lone Ranger, who whispers in Silver's ear and the horse gallops away. Later that evening, Silver returns with a beautiful blonde woman on his back. As the Indian Chief watches, the blonde enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night. The next morning the Indian Chief admits he's impressed. "You have a very fine and loyal horse but I will still kill you in two days. What is your second request?" The Lone Ranger again asks to speak to his horse. Silver is brought to him, and he again whispers in the horse's ear. As before, Silver takes off across the plains and disappears over the horizon. Later that evening, to the Chief's surprise, Silver again returns, this time with a brunette, even more attractive than the blonde. She enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night. The following morning the Indian Chief is again impressed. "You are indeed a man of many talents but I still kill you tomorrow. "What is your last request?" The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse....alone." The Chief is curious but he agrees and Silver is brought to the Lone Ranger's tent. Once they're alone, the Lone Ranger grabs Silver by both ears, looks him square in the eye and says, "Listen very carefully you dumb ass horse. For the last time . . . BRING POSSEEEE!!!!" ********************************* You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus: 1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. 2. An old friend who once saved your life. 3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car. Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again. The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend, and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams." Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

QUOTE(q\/\/3r+y @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 10:34 PM) In 2003 we were discussing the cubs. Was the day after the bartman s*** went down. I was bashing the cubs and the teacher started crying ( literally) and she started yalking s*** about '' well where are the sox now''. Eventually she kicked me out and sent me to the office. I thought it was amusing but apparently no one else did. I ended up getting suspended ( which was bulls***) for two days... for harrasing a teacher. Then she wanted me transferred from her class. Reavis did everything they could to get me out of that pos...which they eventually did. You should have told her with a straight face "There is no crying in baseball"

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 09:37 PM) Rock...you're trying to have it both ways. First you say that the investors own the Sox (a business) to make money. Then you say that they don't make money, that there is a zero sum gain year after year. Which is it? BTW...Southside Irish is absolutely right! more changing of your argument. Give it up man, its over. game. set. pwned. Class is out.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) Where are all these pics of a drunk Orton? I just got that one browsing through collegehumor.com, I go through those pics everyday because they are hilarious. There is a nice collection here too http://www.shavekyleorton.blogspot.com/

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) You are intelligent enough not to believe everything you hear, aren't you? QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 04:42 PM) I stand by what I said about my intelligence. I am an attorney. (My I.Q. is in the high 130s.) I have brokered multi-million dollar deals. Most of all, I am intelligent enough to know that there is NO way Jerry and his co-investors have only split even over the years. That is preposterous. Absolutely.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 05:30 PM) Then by your "logic", since the odds of us repeating are slim, we should be dumping all of our big money players, and go for as much profit as possible?! Why does Abreu put the Sox so much farther ahead of the curve that he is worth the kind of over-investment it would take to bring him to the organization? Not to even mention that acquiring him would necessitate losing one of the starters, and hoping that the rest of them are ok health-wise. Its such an outrageous and ridiculous gamble not only for next year, but years down the line. I would say the Sox are better positioned now to repeat without adding Abreu because of the depth in pitching.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 05:20 PM) And this is not an ignorant statement? Your bias is definitely showing. Ah yes, it was ignorant. Mostly because ignorance in the face of ignorance is the best route to go. But hey, I didnt call you gay, now did I? edit: My bias towards what? Abreu? Your theory that the Sox should spend tons of money now? The Phillies? You? The only thing I have argued is against your theory of the Sox spending tons of money.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 05:14 PM) Rock...you and your girlfriend Kyle make a sweet couple. I wish you the best. :banghead Love how your argument slowly dissolved from The White Sox make tons of money, spend it....to Im a brilliant lawyer, went to school here, got passed the bar here....to Here are a bunch of random business principles, which dont apply...to Rock and Kyyle are gay because they keep proving me wrong, and Im still smart. Its been fun today, thank you for that.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 05:07 PM) Kyle- WWSBMID? I think its definitely in order. It almost deserves its own sig, complete with a heavenly halo and angels in the background. Say it with reverence folks, "What Would Steve-Bartman's-My-Idol Do?"

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) The first intelligent thing you've said in awhile! Which is one more than you on this thread, Im afraid.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 04:52 PM) You guys are not giving MR. Reinsdorf and the other investors enough credit. These are astute, brilliant businessmen; they are not going to run a business entity with the sole purpose of breaking even. That's absolutely ludicrous. Well they sure as s*** dont run it to lose money.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 04:45 PM) Now I know you are full of it. Would you care to back down, or would you like to be proven wrong again.

That just blows my mind that she would have to sue to find out why they did that. If she had flesh eating bacteria all and toxic shock syndrome, dont you think she would have had an idea about it before she went into labor? Holy cow, this scares the hell out of me.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) Rock...I have forgotten more than you'll EVER know. I can guarantee you that. I am not advocating putting the Sox in debt...let's just use up more of the PROFITS to give us the best chance of defending our crown. Oh, oh, oh, nominated for post of the month! wait, no green? you are serious?

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) If you're satisfied with just contending...that's fine for you. I'm not. I want at least 1 more championship. I don't care if we suck in 2010, especially if we repeat, three-peat, etc. Hmm, didnt realize that Abreu was the missing piece on a team that won the world series and already added a 200 inning pitcher, one of the best left handed bats in the game, and a super-utilityman. You are right, Kenny hasnt done enough to win it all. :headshake
