QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) Who has talked up Rex's talents? He can throw far but usually to the other team. If they name Rex starting QB, the coaching staff better prepare for a whirl wind. It's not like Orton is any good. Not that I'm rooting against him or anything, but if he peaks at anything more than an average QB I will be shocked. This dumbass fanbase clamored for Griese in the preseason of '06 because he was a second team god, and as soon as he finally started and they saw why he wasn't the starting QB, they turned on him immediately.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 09:12 PM) No idea where to put this, but it has to go somewhere. Paris Hilton responds to John McCain. See more Paris Hilton videos at Funny or Die The frightening thing is...she has a better energy policy than McCain or Bush. LOL... actually she does. "Crisis solved b****es" (Oh, btw I hate Paris Hilton)

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 07:49 PM) BUT BUT BUT HE's GOING NEGATIVE!!!! Uh huh. That's pretty much why he didn't want to do it. I remember when it first started happening, it was a big deal and they were all talking about how it'd undermine his message and everything.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) griffey get a nice ovation? Yeah he had a nice standing O when he came up. Love it. He looks awesome in a Sox uniform.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 07:39 PM) bad disgusting or good disgusting? Good, definitely good. I just assumed adjectives like "filty" and "disgusting" meant "good" when referring to pitches

Gavin's curveball is absolutely DISGUSTING.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 07:58 PM) Ignore the GOP stupidity and just keep going on. That doesn't work. He tried not fighting back vs. Hillary and eventually he had to throw his hat into the ring.

Besides the end result obviously, that was a pretty good at-bat from JD.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 06:59 PM) The tag line on top, becuase I was getting ready to leave work, so I'll go watch it now. Edit: I stand by my statement. It's a response trying to deflect a direct jab from his opponent. Really, what else do you want him to say/do? He wants to win the election.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 06:25 PM) If you had to be your life savings on an opposing batter smashing a hit against one of these Sox pitchers who would you pick to give up the immediate meatball? This is assuming the lefty pitcher faces a righty and the righty pitcher faces a lefty. a.) Boone Logan. b.) Wasserman. c.) Clayton. d.) Jose. I think it's a tough choice, but I'd go with Boone giving up the immediate hit. Right now, Boone, assuming he throws a strike.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 06:02 PM) Not true at all. The "West Loop" stretches all the way to Ashland. The "South Loop" stretches deep almost to the Stevenson. The El trains only go to Wells on the west side which means the Sears tower wouldnt be in the Loop according to your calculations. The West Loop and South Loop are the West Loop and the South Loop, those are different areas. The most specific, literal definition is the area the L tracks go around. And no, the Sears Tower is technically not in the Loop either. If you define the "loop" as the general downtown area, then yeah, that's a much wider area.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 05:37 PM) Yep, he's reaching out to all Americans. Did you watch the video or did you just read the tag line at the top?

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) I hate how polls are covered in the newspaper like this is a football game. If it was, Obama would be in the prevent defense, and McCain would have abandoned his run game trying to score as fast as possible.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 04:32 PM) We've had 7+ years of people digging for stuff on Bush & Co., and all I am saying is that if this was really out there then, it would have been found out before now. The Rather bit was referenceing the rabit reporters angling to get Bush. There has been such a frenzy in the past that it has led to some supposedly good journalists to run with knowingly false information. Knowing that someone of Rather's previous stature can f***up so badly, how can people NOT be skeptical of stuff that 'comes out', especially the closer to an election it gets. I can see your point. I don't think the time delay is necessarily abnormal though.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 04:31 PM) The sun is so large it wouldn't even notice. The containers would burn up, everything would react with something, and it would mix in and dilute if you had the trajectory right. Just make sure it doesn't bounce off of some layer. All this would basically happen long before the object actually reached the sun right? Like it would get locked into the gravitational pull when it got really close, and it would be so hot it would turn into plasma or whatever. I would have to imagine there have been other objects that hit the sun before though.

lol @ you guys

Seriously though ridiculous logistics aside, what does happen when something collides with the sun? Basically nothing right?

lol. so predictable. Didn't he get suspended for the time when he ordered Tracey to hit somebody and he missed?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) The pop one is good. Everybody that goes to Mizzou (not from Chicago) always says soda and I am just like: what? People from Detroit and Milwaukee, and I guess Indiana say pop too. I say it here on the East Coast and I get laughed at.

How about this one: WOW, LOOK AT THOSE LOW RATES!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 02:06 PM) Ask someone where the "loop" is. Its funny how many areas try to add themselves to that area. Yeah the loop is actually a very small area, very specifically defined by the area the L trains go around. If you're outside that, you're not in the loop... not even the area east of Wabash to the lakefront which is still in the heart of downtown.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 02:32 PM) I'd imagine it would have to be quite a bit if we are going to build a multi-billion dollar rocket to ship it out. What I mean is I don't know how much nuclear waste is produced by a couple of nuclear plants, in terms of volume/size.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 02:30 PM) The Klingons care! Yeah we'd probably feel like assholes if we found out a couple million years from now one of our nuclear trash cans randomly collided with some alien planet that we happened to be in contact with and we killed a bunch of them. Intergalactic warfare FTL.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) I thought of this when I was 9, and it took 16 years to hear it from another person! lol It seems so simple, but what if that rocket blows up? Nuclear waste all over the place. Good idea.... no way to safely implement it. You're probably right... and I don't know how much nuclear waste we're talking either.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 02:23 PM) Also, I am fairly certain that its no cheap thing to put a rocket into the sun. That's a huge project, I'd have to guess, and the costs could be enormous. I don't know all that much about rockets, but I do know that objects don't ever stop moving once they get into space. Plus once it's on a collison course for the Sun, its gravitational pull is orders of magnitude larger as you get closer so it takes less energy. Hell, we could just toss it out into space away from the Earth to float out in space indefinitely, who cares where it ends up.
