1st place sox, Poo-holes to the DL, and Papelbon speaks (again)

[Down38st8]

Billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said the Gulf Arab kingdom needed to reduce its reliance on crude oil and diversify its revenues.

His warning comes as rising shale energy supplies in the United States cut global demand for Saudi oil.

In an open letter to his country's oil minister Ali al Naimi and other government heads, published on Sunday via his Twitter account, Prince Alwaleed said demand for oil from Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) member states was "in continuous decline"

With this influx of domestic oil...why isn't oil/gas coming down in price? I know what the answer would be if a republican is president...

Are the Sox trying to get the Twins' closer? Wouldn't mind that one bit.

If I picked Rock up at the airport and took him to some locals bars I know in PB, he'd quit his job and buy a beach cruiser, a pair of Reef flipflops and a Padres cap within 24 hrs. Rock would be in fucking HEAVEN in PB. He'd die there.

But of course, he'll stick with the Boston-centric bullshit on here.

I am in the process of maybe moving out there in the next couple years when the girl gets done with school

So if he gets Suspended for all of 2014

That wont count towards their efforts in getting under 180 Mil payroll? Yes?

Not sure if it's counted against the luxury cap...but the net savings for the yanks might make it a moot point...

Don't you know it! "The President is in bed with big oil."

Ask that same question now and you're told what an idiot you are. "Everyone knows the President has no control over gas prices."

Same reason it wasn't under Bush. Based on crude oil speculators that control the price. Talk about something that should be regulated.

Hammer why didn't my picture upgrade?

Don't know of any specific rumor today, but there has been a rumored level of interest....I like him because he's signed for 2 more years relatively cheap...and he's left handed

I wouldn't trust myself to live somewhere like PB. This would be me in no time:

Come out for a weekend. But leave the return date open since you'll be changing it anyway.

He's had 5+ years...and except when he was initially elected (all his take back america from wall street return it to main street bullshit), he's done nothing...

Why?

because like the repubs before him, he's bought and paid for by WALL STREET...not big oil, if there is even a distinction anymore.

Something I've always wondered about with those insurance policies and PED's...can the inurance company go after Arod for taking banned/illegal substances if they can prove use/abuse of them may have led to the injury?

Probably not, but I'd bet there's some new language in these insurance policies on the more recent mega-deals.

Hammer why didn't my picture upgrade?

did you "update avatar" or change your account pic?

Hammer why didn't my picture upgrade?

Did you upload a new avatar and you're wondering why it didn't update? If so, I don't know. Try again.

I'll stick with my plan of moving to either Texas or Arizona...

They figure the tax on the average annual value of each contract on the books-so it will reduce the AAV significantly, but it won't go away entirely.

Unless he gets the Shoeless Joe treatment. Then it's all off forever, I think. I don't know if they'll use the reduced AAV from 2008-2013.

Probably. I remember in the summer of 2008 gas was $4.00 + a gallon. In November of 2008 it was less than $1.50. That's not the effect of supply or demand.
