  1. Arguments, only if it's highly regulated and very highly taxed. Edit: No pun intended
  2. I thought we wanted more walks! :lol:
  3. Because of ridiculously powerful teacher's unions, my high school had to beg the community for a tax hike (in a referendum) when several mediocre teachers at my school were making well over $100,000/year. This included 2 gym teachers, with salaries of $130,000 andm $150,000. PE Teachers! I know it's not like this outside of the north shore, but whenever teachers ask for raises, I just get angry thinking about my school. :)
  4. :lol: :lol: Maybe a Mace Windu shot would've looked more like Derrek...
  5. How are baseball players less replaceable? Every year players retire, and every year new ones come in to take their place. By saying they are not replaceable, there would be zero talent on the fields right now as it all should have dissipated decades ago. Are you kidding here? How many active major-leaguers are there? How many people in this country are there? Maybe one in a million people will actually become a big league ballplayer. I don't know how many people could do your job, but I'll bet it's a lot more than that. The difference is due to scarcity. Exactly. Yes. I'm actually thinking of writing an article on this for my school's national business review. Baseball players might actually be underpaid from an economic standpoint. Considering the amount of revenue they bring in for their "company" (MLB), they take home a smaller share than professionals in other fields, such as sales or banking. They're not of more value than most members of society: doctors, lawyers, teachers, politicians, millitary, etc. However, in terms of the money they bring in and the share they get of that, I don't think it's as skewed as you think.
  6. I remember during one telecast, his jr highschool-age son was in the broadcast booth with Chip and Stoney. He was a really funny kid. What a tragedy... :cry:
  7. I didn't see it. Wishful thinking or honest opinion? A little bit of both. Lee really wanted to stay in the game. It took several minutes before they made the decision to pull him. If it was real bad, he would have been out of the game right away and headed for X-rays. Eyre, on the other hand, had some serious discomfort going on. I'm guessing groin strain, but it could be his back. Thanks. I'm going to have to look for a replay. It's obviously really hard to make a judgement just by listening to the radio.
  8. Pat: Ron you sure were quiet in the top of the inning! Ron: Well yeah, haha, I wasn't here. I had a little accident... yeah Ron, I crapped my pants too
  9. What's Ron supposed to say in that situation? Yeah, I was listening and Ron's worrysome voice was the only thing that really indicated how serious it was.
  10. AHHHH I dont have a tv! Does it look as bad as pat and ron are saying? ok, i'll take that as a yes
  11. Wow, I don't remember seeing that whole highlight. It really reminded me how much I thought the Cubs were going to have a great year in '01. Total implosion... Oh yeah, and I loved Michael Tucker.
  12. http://imageshack.us/ Thanks!
  13. How can I upload photos from my pc to a post? I have some from the bleachers.
  14. Wow. This is really funny. :lol:
  15. I think that once you notice her Jay Leno chin, it's all over.
  16. If he's good enough this season, they should name a street after him or something
  17. The memory of the series and win would be enough.
  18. Not to defend the guy, but I think he was referring to Single-A, as in the lowest rank of the minor leagues, where stadiums probably run out of hot water from time to time. That's a lot different than saying "Class-A."
