Recycled. I can't remember my cell phone number but I can remember a joke I told 20 years ago. I guess I know what's important.

This Minor League Rule V is really just a joke. I wonder who the greatest Rule V player of all time is. I can't believe I'm interested, but I am. Is there a 12 Step program to help me?

Ladies and gentleman the 2004 Chicago White Sox, brought to you by Kenny Williams

At least she brought the severed penis with her to the hospital, didn't Lorena toss it our a car window, prompting the motorist it hit to say: I don't know what that bug was but it was hung like a man!

His attitude was excellent with the Rangers and the White Sox, too bad problems early in his career will dog him forever. I'm glad he's in the NL but hey, don't we play the Expos next season?

Same shape as a Pringles, great taste of a peanut butter cup. I know they were probably out six years ago back in civilization.

1. Certainly she now has a paralysed husband she is legally responsible for. 2. Would be considered in determining damages. Projected lifetime earnings vs. what he could earn in his present condition. 3. Even if separated, she still is responsible. Happiness won't but legal status would play in an award. 4. I'm not certain how the Wild would be less responsible if the guy was an alchoholic except that he would have been better at hiding how drunk he was. But since they kicked him out for his behavior he didn't hide it too well. How pissed would you be if you knew a bar kicked out your (insert loved one here) because he/she was too drunk. Knowing he/she probably lived a considerable distance from the bar. (how many people are at a Hawks game ~and~ live near the stadium. I guess we are looking at legally a victim or emotionaly a victim. I believe she deserves the same protection under the law as the wife of someone he may have killed. Full disclosure. Some of you know my brother died while driving drunk. The bar, after serving him 6 pitchers of beer in two and a half hours, served him close to 10 shots in the next hour before helping him out the door. They only had 22 people in the bar at the time with 2 bartenders and 3 waitresses. Anyone that tells me my mom and dad aren't victims because they were related to him has no clue. These laws are in place to protect us from ourselves. Just like motorcycle helmets, seatbelt laws, etc.

What do you want to do? I dunno, what do you want to do? Let's win every auction on eBay for the next 2 hours. Do you think they want to take KW's spot at the winter meetings

So I guess the Wild's defense should be "Hey! he only hurt himself, it's not like he killed someone else. Wait until that happens before suing."

Honestly, I wasn't replying to you before, but I do have aquestion for you. Is the wife a victim?

Maybe the LA AA affiliate needed a OF. Anyone know anything about the guys we picked up?

I wasn't replying to any one post in particular, I didn't mean to make it look like I was. The wife has a law suit because we have a law on the books. To get rid of the lawsuit, you need to get rid of the law. Or how else would the law be enforced? Would you send the server to jail for a day, a week, a year?

If you are unhappy with the laws write your congessman and demand that bars have the right to sell as much liquor as there customer can drink. Explain that it is a bad law that prohibits bars from getting someone as drunk as the individual wants to get. Then explain to a family who lost someone to a drunk, why it was necessary to repeal a law that helps, in a small way, to keep people from getting drunker and killing themselves and innocent people. Basically we (US society) have decided that if a company is serving an intoxicating substance that is known to impare judgement they must exercise responsibility. The paradox with alchohol is the moment that you need the most judgement is the moment you have the least capability for judgement. The Wild understood fully the laws and their responsibilities when they decided to sell liquor. I don't necessarily fault the person for availing themselves of everything under our laws.

Somewhere in Southern California, someone thought you said Sooner, and got a Trojan

Great, now we let facts get in the way of rightous indignation We should also remember the guy is paralysed. It's not like he's going to be dancing if he wins anything.

which contributes to my point. You take dozens and dozens of prospects and hope 1 or 2 come out. Screw that. I'd give up prospects everytime for a mid season chance to win a division. Trade picks for players. I don't like any deal where we are giving up X and getting less than X in major leaguers and given prospects to make up for it.

Does KW know it's Sidney Ponson **not** Sidney Australia That may explain everything. KW to JR "hey boss I can get a great deal on this city in Australia"

I won't believe it until I read it in Marriotti's column

Steff, What is the law if the guy has a designated driver with him? I would assume it wouldn't matter since anyone can lie. Still if a sports team lost this they will have to reevaluate their practices and the above would still be possible. I would guess that most/all teams have insurance (dram shop?) for this and the insurance carriers might raise their premiums for teams that "seat vend"

Agreed and changed. Sorry, it was before my time. I'm glad we have an old timer around here

Here's the bigger implication people. Let's make an assumption here. He was sitting in his middle-of-the-row seat, and was being served by a beer vendor at his seat. The vendor will not be able to hear him, see him walk, or even get a good look at his eyes. He may be 30 feet away. If the plaintif wins this suit, beer sales might be at a counter only. No more beer vendors. I support the laws that place some responsibility on the bar that is serving a product that is known to reduce reasoning and causes deaths every year. A sober bartender or waitress is in better position to judge a person's sobriety level than the drunk. Dah, we've all been there. It comes with owning a liquor license. Because of the profit on beer sales how this plays out could have a big ripple effect on ticket prices, free agent signings, when liquor sales are halted, etc.

Wife sues Minnesota Wild for husband's crash Saturday, December 13, 2003 Posted: 9:36 PM EST (0236 GMT) ST. PAUL, Minnesota (AP) -- The wife of a hockey fan who crashed his car after drinking too much at a Minnesota Wild game has sued the team, saying her husband shouldn't have been served so much alcohol. Kris Lodahl, 37, was paralyzed in the February 8, 2002 crash. His wife, Rebecca, 39, is suing under a state law that holds bars and other establishments liable for serving someone who is obviously drunk, said her attorney, Harry Sieben Jr. She is seeking at least $50,000 in damages, claiming "loss of guidance, counsel, aide, comfort, assistance, protection and support of her husband," as well as mental anguish and financial loss. The rest of the story . . .

To paraphrase President Bush the senior read my sig . . .

I feel better now. At least the Hawks are at the top of some standings

Congratulations on your wins, remind me which categories
