Donate your time ~ play for the second most popular baseball team in Chicago. Brilliant just f***ing brilliant.

The reason we hate him so aften is he's right so often. Dead nuts correct on this. I'm wondering if we continue to get f***ed by our own free agents will JR and Co. suck it up and grab some better (re $$$$) talent or bag the season? I'm hoping after getting backed into a corner and seeing the season going down the tubes in December they make some bigger moves than what Colon would have cost.

Why do we need to worry about 2007? When have we ever had a 3 or 4 year run? I wouldn't mind losing 100 games in 2007 if it meant a WS appearance in 2004. We've been worrying about 3 or 4 years out for as long as I've been a fan. Just put a damn winner out now and screw 3 or 4 years from now. Let me know when I sound like a broken record. I remember sounding like ya'll 20 years ago, build this, build that and after 20 years how many WS appearances do we have? How many championship banners are hanging from the Cell? Does anybody really care if Reinsdork and CO. make money in 2004 not to mention 2006 if we have a WS parade down Michigan Avenue?

BeGood you are moving up in my book. I like anyone who needs a spell cehcker as badly as I do.

But they ain't getting the job done. Anybody could make offers. getting it done is making offers that sign players.

I've decided to split my allegiance to the White Sox and am in the process of selecting another club. I'm leaning towards the Astros, but am open to suggestions. I've even thought of being one of those spineless wonders and cheering the ScRubs (except against the Sox). Tough call but the Sox are getting me too pissed again.

Coming down the stretch he was the only Sox starter that looked like he had some balls and could win a big game. At least we had the 12 mil per year, too bad we couldn't add a year. I'm resigning myself to hoping we have a Dontrel Willis type ready to bust out. Anyone want to takes bets on how fast ncorgbl will be here to chat about the "tub o Goo"?

You could give this orgaqnization the top 10 picks every year and we'll piss them away and let other teams take them.

Come on you can't expect us to complete with big cities like Kansas City :fyou I promised my self I wouldn't use the :fyou until next season but From me to you JR Colon :fyou Alomar :fyou Sully :fyou Everette :fyou Uribe and just to be the first one, 1 year in advance for Mark :fyou :fyou Look up Maddux to Braves for a f***ing history lesson in Chicago teams pissing away a great pitcher. This is why we can't trust these f***s to rebuild. They'll just piss away our players. Oh, and may I be the first to wish everyone a Merry Christmas

s*** PA, you and I have started threads dumber than this. But we knew to pad out post totals by responding Now you gove me a and I reply and we have 2 more posts.

I was lucky enought to meet him on two occassions and chat with him for a few minutes. Even on issues we disagreed, I was very impressed on how well thought out his opinion was. I remember when a small controversy errupted aorund him and even the republicans where saying there was no way Simon made a mistake or did anything unethical. That speaks volumes to his integrity. I also liked his tradition on election days. He would go plant a tree so that no matter what happened that day, something good would come out of it.

So then you don't think a team has to win their conference to play in the championship game.

I'm not being specific to this season which is why I started a different thread. I believe that just like the basketball playoffs, that the two best teams in the nation can come from the same conference. You are eliminating that possibility. This year there are two Big Ten teams and two Big 12 teams in the top 6. Using Michigan and Ohio as examples; if they had finised 1-2 in the polls would you have argued that one should be tossed out of the championship game and replaced by the 3rd rated team? That only one from the conference, the champion should play? If we make it a rule that to play in the championship game you have to win your last game of the season we will have programs scheduling stiffs to end the season.

I would rather they play for this year and fold up the team the following year. After 40+ years I've seen to much of not even making the playoffs and then rebuilding. Rebuilding what? That implies we had built something to begin with. This last year should have been the start of 2 or 3 years of contending. Instead, we are trying to rebuild a team that can win 88 games? We've been rebuilding since 1917. There is no building in baseball. You try and sign the best free agents, hope to add a rookie phenom, a couple players have career years, and pray your manager doesn't f*** it up. At the end of season repeat process. Developing players is too hit or miss. Dammit why did you get me started?

BeGood is the only one here that could use his real name and we would think it was a screen name

He's a Sox fan, he has to know the Dan Ryan. THANKS but ill only let your ride on it if you respect me respect you!? ok, as long as I don't have to like you ~and~ I don't kiss on the lips.

My favorite quote "We have to work a little harder in the future to retain players with the resources we have," he said. Work a little harder?! You dumb s***s. How much f***ing work is it to spend a few more dollars? That's the work. Quit using euphanisms work = money

I'd love Maddux if time travel was possible. Sorry, he's going to have a losing record next year and be out of the league by 2006.

I rarely use AIM but this week I received two IM from list members who somehow found out my ID. I removed that info from this site months ago. Both claimed to be administrators; but my guess it was someone playing a prank.

I like your expressway

Would you leave Oklahoma in the playoffs? Texas? Ohio? Or would you just invite the conference winners? Wouldn't there be more controversy with Kansas in the playoffs this year and not Texas and Oklahoma, both ranked by everbody in the top 8? Do you think a playoff would be better that didn't take the top 4 or 8 teams in the nation, regardless if they won their conference championship or not?

OMG, I'm being sucked into the BeGood vortex, I'm responding to two of his threads in one week. Must try and get out of the spell can't look any more

Shouldn't this be in the Sport's Bar or is this Sex, Lies, or Politics[/color]

right but who do you think released it? My theory is someone has a copy, probably within Em's group, and the peon gets pissed and calls company B and says hey how would you like a copy of Em rapping about liking the president dead? They snatch it up and release it. I don't see Em wanting this released. Notice it only gets those people who don't care for Em upset. His hardcore, loyal not matter what, followers will continue to support him. In fact it may increase his street cred.

How can you automatically say that one conference can never have the two best teams in the nation? By limiting the championship game to conference champs only we are saying before they play a single down that no two teams from the same conference can be 1-2 in the nation. Does that make sense logically? It also then makes the assumption that, for example, the winner of the MAC is a stronger team, more worthy of national title hopes, than say Ohio, Texas, or Oklahoma. You just eliminated mid conferences from your equation. Why does the NCAA invite more than 1 team from some conferences into the basketball tourny? Could it be they recognize that the second place team in a conference may be the best team in the nation? How many times have we seen the winner of a b-ball conference tourny is seeded lower than another team in their conference?
