It looks like the blonde kid just ripped one and the other two are getting a good whiff of it.

I think you're only supposed to post the first and maybe second summary paragraphs, unedited, and with a link. The rule there when I left was no posting of anything. Not even part of a sentence. Just a link.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 12:22 PM) Obviously they need to fire Greg Walker. Change a couple of names around in that article and you could be talking about the White Sox.

6 straight games without a blown save. That's positive right?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 04:44 PM) That doesn't make it any less bulls***. I think that's a Wes Craven thing. Look at the Nightmare on Elm St. movies.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) I wonder how the thoughts of others can be come the intellectual property of a forum database. No clue but that's the reason I'm no longer there. There are number of things they have their own version of in their minds compared to actual reality. One of them includes the reason this place exists. It's no use pointing it out to them either.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 07:26 AM) this is from a WSI interview, Mark L. from over there is an okay guy, hope it's cool to copy and paste some of it?? I doubt they'll complain about it but this is a direct quote from Daver:

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) 1st item is checking to see if you can create/write and read/understand requirements and documents and make them work for software development. Similar question sometimes asked is, "explain to a cave man how to build a car". I understand the theory behind that but who the hell knows how to build a car? The one I've usually heard is "Describe how to make a PB&J sandwich." I'm not quite sure how that's the same question as a turtle's biggest accomplishment though...

What ever happened to Steff? The last I heard she had a kid and then disappeared.

Just yesterday I sat down and figured this out: We are paying around $65 for the cheapest cable we can get. We can only get it on 3 TVs because we have to have these stupid little converter boxes on every TV. The first 3 are free. We'd have to pay $5 a month to get more. We get about 63 channels. Of those 63, we only watch about 20 regularly. There may be another 5 or 10 that we watch occasionally. The rest of the channels I couldn't care less about. That's roughly $2-$3 per channel. We've been thinking about switching to satellite but we're not sure we'd save much money or what channels we'd have to give up.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 14, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) One of my brother's friends did this for a while, was part of a couple online communities/groups that found the best deals. Yeah, you might end up with 20 tubes of toothpaste at a time, but you'd basically be getting free groceries and you wouldn't have to buy toothpaste for quite a while. It was a lot of work though, 20 hours a week finding coupons and shopping. I actually did a little extreme couponing the last two nights. We had a bunch of coupons for kool-aid packets and a store near us had them on sale 10/$1. The first night I bought 36 of them. I had 2 coupons that were buy 10 get 5 free and 2 coupons that were buy 2 get 1 free. The cashier input the coupons manually so I saved $1.20 off of $3.60 (before tax obviously). The second night I did the exact same thing except it was a different cashier and she scanned the coupons instead. Somehow I ended up paying 63 cents with tax. Between the two nights I ended up getting 72 packets for about 4 cents a piece.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 11:18 AM) I can't convince you that Mr. Perfect is dead, when he is Really? I've read the Mr. Perfect jokes on here before but is this really the case?

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:41 AM) http://bullpen-blog.com/?p=698 What a whiner. I just saw the video and it was a clean, hard slide and he was well within reach of the bag. The second baseman just didn't get out of the way in time.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:37 AM) Amazing, yet expected. True. It's not like he works in a large city for a major newspaper that would've swept these occurences under the rug with as little fanfare as possible reported these things.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 08:57 AM) Well, no they aren't. Did you watch an episode? These fat morons are calling in their hillbilly friends to count as extra transactions. The ones I've seen they put everything into one transaction. That's how they get totals of $600+. Then they start taking the coupons off.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 06:10 PM) It's not just that. Most of the stores have rules against using a ton of coupons per purchase or making dozens of separate purchases. They're actively waiving their own coupon rules for the publicity from the show. They have to be. The stores around me have come up with the rule that they will only double two of the same coupon. So if you have 10 of the same one, only 2 will be doubled.

Wasn't there a person shot just a couple of years ago right near Wrigley Field? What about the Dodgers catcher that had his hat stolen? What about the fan that charged Bob Howry at Wrigley in 2007? Or the fan that attacked Randy Myers in 1995? Amazing how all these incidents are forgotten.

"Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid."

Anyone else watch "Extreme Couponers" on TLC? Two things I've noticed about the people on the show. One, they have extreme OCD over coupons and keeping a constant supply of groceries in their house. Two, they don't have jobs. Mostly because they spend so much time on their coupons and shopping. I can't imagine spending that many hours each day cutting coupons and then going to the store 3 and 4 times a week for hours at a time. My wife and I use coupons but the most I think we saved on one shopping trip was around $60. We still usually end up spending $200+ for 2 weeks of groceries. These people are buying $600+ worth of groceries and paying like $10. They must have better grocery stores and better coupons.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 01:10 PM) Eh. No idea then. Maybe he is out of options. He is. Link

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 12:46 PM) Not if they need the 40 man roster spot for Grey. Milledge is being removed from the 40 man if he is DFA. Ah. Good point.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 10:46 AM) I'm guessing it is a comination of Milledge having an option, most likely to not be claimed, doesn't play CF, isn't the best speedster, and we really need another pitcher. If he still has an option left they should be able to just send him down to the minors with DFA'ing him right?
