QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) So, you're saying he's close to a Diamondback and an Angel? That should serve him well with the Tigers. I wasn't serious.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 11:46 AM) Over the years of being on the Red Sox & Yankees, who on the Tigers roster did you become such good friends with? I know him and Edwin Jackson are close. He also said yesterday that he is close with Fernando Rodney.

The jist of the stroy was more geared to those lower income families. Obviously someone making $100K that is out of work is not jonesing for the food stamps and federally fund health and day care but those in the lower income to lower middle income side was the focus.

I am addicted to Curling although I am still sure of the skip. Both matches were incredible yesterday.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 05:45 PM) My bet is he's talking about Vittori's, on Taylor just east of Racine. It was another favorite for me to and every bit as good as Al's. Sadly I think it has closed recently. That is it. Carm's is good too but I liked their hot dogs better.

You throw a woman on that show and you have the races, sexes and what not all coverd. Kind of like Watlow (sp?) the dentist on Seinfeld they will have every PC group covered. The Polish catcher is just icing on the cake.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) I'd like to see the breakdown on that. Off the time of my head it was something like this Compensation $400/week each for 12 months $41,600 Food Stamps $225 /mo each $5,400 Federally fund day care not sure Federally fund health care not sure The point was that in certain cases it is more profitable to stay unemployed and the duration is as helpful as it seemed.

QUOTE (quickman @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 11:22 AM) Funny half the time people on this board ask Rock to check with his source, now people are crapping on it because its not what they want to hear. I toohave personal friends with people in the media, and JimH who you all hate, has some great resources in the media, that said, it has seems that unless you are JR, KW, Johnny damon or Scott Boras everyone is shut down for the moment. Lets not trash Rock. If you don't want to believe his source, then don't. This board has the Ranger on it who is part of the media, close to many team resources, and chances are if KW told him something off the record, he wouldn't go and run with it to some internet board. This board used to be filled with folks who had really solid inside information but would be berated to the point that they stopped doing it as Rock should because people seem to feel they need to prove them wrong for some odd reason. The Keith Foulke deal was on the internet by sources from this site on another forum days before it went through. The same person had KW stepping down in early 2003 I believe and when that did not happen the person was bascially lynched.....not becasue they were wrong.....but because this site really wanted KW gone and it did not happen.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 09:39 AM) Honestly, just about anyone with 2 legs and a glove can play 1B 20 times a season. Not with the throws Ramirez makes over there and we are not sure about Beckham and Teahan either.

Interesting thing I heard on the radio yesterday morning. Two individuals with three kids could get about $50,000 a year tax free from the governement if unemployed and receieving all the benefits they could which includes compensation, food, and health.

Damon, Pierre, AJ, Kotsay, Vizquel and Teahan give some RHP fits......I am thinking the Blackburn/Porcello/Baker guys obviously not the Verlander and Grienke's.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 10:35 PM) Yeah, but, come on. That's like shooting someone and saying well I didn't make the bullets You ara ssuming Jacob wanted Nadia dead. This is possible if it helped get Sayid to the island. I think Jacob knew Nadia was going to be killed there and he saved Sayid. Kind of like Juliet's bus "accident" with her ex-husband.

Vonn uses men's skiis which make her go faster.

All of the snow board things look the same to me.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) Well, Smokey has killed a lot more people than Jacob. Not sure how Jacob killed Nadia. Ben knew who killed Nadia and we are still not sure if it was widmore (man in black) or Linus (Jacob) behind it. The assumption I thought was the man in black was behind it. The good guys like to tell us they are the good guys. As the man in black told us Jacob will do anything to protect the island which we are not sure why.

Bulls do not have to move Tyrus they can just non-tender him. If he plays well they could move him for something in the offseason orlet him walk. Deng and Heinrich are actually playing well enough to have value.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 03:39 PM) The problem facing Boras if he did sign with the Sox is he would probably lose a pigeon in the Tigers. They have saved him many times. He could be using the Tigers against the Sox though. There hasn't really been anything from either team. All of this is from Boras is it not?

I am liking the Vonn story. I do not view X games sports as real so it is good to see the U.S. do well in alpine eventes with Bode and Vonn as well as my favorite the Nordic Combined.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 01:15 PM) What's with the extremes? I never said "no one". I disputed your statement that a position player is always more popular then a pitcher and that Damon would be a more popular member of the Sox than Buehrle or Peavy. People will buy tickets now to see Damon they will not to see Peavy you know why don't you? I think that is DA's point.

With Damon there is no good reason to ever DH Vizquel.

Another thing I think that is driving this is the lack of left handed starters in the division. Pierre Damon Pierre gets a bigger lead as the catcher can not see to first and then the SS covers the bag and opens the left side for Damon to shoot the ball through the SS gap

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 11:16 AM) a serial number someplace I can't remember, etc. Door on Swan hatch....I beleive the muttering dude was the person that emblazened them who would now be dead from the blast, did not give them to Hurley thus Hurley just happened to get them right as far as we know and create his own luck.

The numbers of the crosssed out folks seem random. The Oceanic numbers obviously are the magic numbers. I am glad Kate is not on the wall. Could the Kwon be their kid? The kid I think is Jacob as he knows the rules. I like the off island stuff as it shows how the characters have changed. I am sure it will all play a big role in the end. The Linus, Rose and Hurley things were great as they show that some people are really willing to look out for Locke and are cutting him some slack.
