bring in Koch, he needs the work and since no one is hitting tonight...

is it 14-8 us in the bottom of the 8th? is that good or bad?

I'm going to make a comment that I rarely make. You are especially ignorant of most of the things that you post about. Congratulate yourself on a slam dunk. You knowledge of facts is so slim that if you told me the US flag that 13 stripes I'd count them. If you ever faced facts you'd shoot them and think you had done something good. And before the usual suspects jump on me for being mean, f*** it. You throw insult after insult and that is ok and someone responds and you scream more insults. And you toss those insults after compliments have been posted about you. You are not only uninformed on virtually every issue of the day, you have no class either. Slam dunk: you used to have in your signature the age of the Army. You were even wrong on that. I had to PM with with the actual number. That could happen to anyone but it is so totally typical of your never letting a fact stand in the way of your saying something. I normally celebrate the greatness of differing opinions but you attack anyone with a different opinion than yours. That is arrogant and as self righteous as it gets. I commented earlier on how wonderful it is that people can have different opinions and you attack. Typical. And tiresome.

you are being silly, aren't you? As far as LaRussa, will probably be my all time favorite Sox manager. And everyone who reminded me of that horrible experience with Hawk as GM, I wish you hadn't. When Hawk fired LaRussa, finally, it was probably time for Tony to go though. Things had just reached that point. Damn shame. What has always astounded me is that LaRussa has only won 1 world series. With some of the teams he had, he should have won more.

Mr Eye, I am not responding other than to say those are some low comments and also some othe stuff that just ain't so according to everybody, and lots of people have very different memories of those things than the things you cited. There is nothing else that I can say that is helpful now and I prefer to have you as a friend so I'll catch you later and talk some baseball. Nuke, you are as insulting a poster as we have, tossing all the things you say. You know what? I won't return the insults. I think you are totally absoultely wrong and we haven't begun on the run away response to terrorism when the barracks were blown up in Lebanon and killed 250+ of our best enlisted folk. You think I am am totally wrong and you will have some rejoinder for that included me being full of s***, a leftist, whatever. You know what? No one f***ing cares. I was being charitable to Reagan when I called his administration lousy. Go ahead, explode, and swear at me some more. It won't make a damn bit of difference. Different people will always see things different ways and that is all ok. What you believe is fine. So is what I believe. The world is more interesting when people have different perspectives. You are a good guy. Take care.

30 days is the norm for this

by the way, that was not wrong. Selective morality.

mr eye, i wasn't jabbed first? come on. I regret having responded to kap. I didn't want hese conversations about Reagan before the funeral and I sure as hell have been aropuind along enough to know what I know and be confident in that and others feel the same about their own things so what is the point here and now. Fight your fights, people, because there is way too much emotionalism and way too much whatever else to make any conversation worth having because it is just going to be personalizied and that is not my intent and I don't need it or want it.

I don't remember that. I probably thought that if anything had shut down, it was in memory of Kurt Colbain. I am not sure that I see the connection between a Day of Mourning and a paid day off for all governmental employees. I am asking now because I do not remember - when Challenger went down, when the space shuttle blew up in 2003, did we have National Days of Mournings and if so was it with or without governmental paid holidays in addition to the ones in their contracts? If the unions had negotiated that, more power to them, but I just don't remember entire government shut downs for Nixon, Colbain, or the space shuttles - or even for September 11th. For the last, stuff was shut down by necessity and if a National Day of Mourning was declared I don't recall in those halcyon days but I don't recall a connection between that and a paid government shut down holdiay. But I am asking here, because, when I am saying I don't remember, I am not arguing with anyone and saying they are wrong, I simply do not remember. Since you quote me, you mean me? Then that is not what I said at all. I worked vigorously against that man's election in 1968, 1976, 1980, and 1984. I would prefer to say I strenuously opposed or detested his polices, and I will grant you the semantic "hated" his policies, but please remember that I draw a very clear line between political oppostion and personal hatred. I never hated Reagan. I explained elsewhere I have a long history with him and had his autographed picture from him long before all you neo-cons were born. Hate the person? No way. And I have never and I will never say he was a great president. He was a lousy president. Tripled the national debt, exploded the annual deficits that he so hypocritcally campaigned against, spoke of limited nuclear war in Europe, his voodoo economics in total, his aid to Osama Bin Laden and Sadaam Hussein, the Iranian passenger jet shot down under his watch, Iran Contra (a clear violation of the laws and the Constitution), and his legacy that government is the enemy and we can't afford to pay for it - and this is for starters - and I have never said he was a great man either, just that I felt badly that he spent the last 10 years of his life in a disease that robbed that robust person of all identity and robbed Nancy (aka, the woman with whom Reagan had adultery and for whom Reagan left and divorced his first wife, all ye who bash Clinton on personal morality) Reagan of the husband she loved very dearly. You have mistaken respect for the man by not saying anything in the above paragraph until now. I would have preferred to hold that paragraph until after the funeral. But you threw out the word "hypocrasy" and quoted me. There is a difference between "hypocrasy" on the one side and "respect" and "time and place" on the other. Democrats know the latter. And if you believe that Bush and Riove are looking to milk this for the the spin they can get for their relection campaign, then, I suggest, you are missing a lot of reality. Just suggesting. Please stop trying to make things either/or and personal. Tip O'Neill detested Reagan. They were great drinking buddies. The person that I ran against in our last county election - she and I were and remain good friends. In real life, in the real world, political opposition is not personal, at least not necessarily. I am very close to some of the people with whom I differ most because what does that gave to do with anything?

I can't vouch for the site but it is an interesting little story that if even parts of are true are really frightening Bush going erratic

I actually figured you would have changed it a while ago it was a good name but the player really let you down - hell, let us all down -

that is an old charge made against the Twins, not exactly news or new in any capacity however, it is certainly a very true charge

I very seriously doubt JR is involved in making a decision like that this situation is KWs and Ozzie's to deal with but this won't make JR too favorably disposed for big contracts for pitchers again when we need to sign someone

this is a cheap political stunt by the White House we have had presidents die before and other than those who died in office never did the government shut down at all - Bush/Rove want Bush to be seen presiding over Reagan's funeral for the cheap glory and a few votes and GW isn't qualified to carry Reagan's Bedtime for Bonzo script. In my lifetime Hoover, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon have all died and easily Ike was more beloved - yet the government did not shut down does anyone here rationally expect that the same will happen on the deaths on Ford, Carter, Bush 1 or Clinton? Reagan as a former president deserves all approrpriate honors but a government day off? Isn't that the opposite of everything Reagan was supposedly about?

that's ok we all know that Badger fans know little or nothing about big time college football

since no one posted it, this is the official Sox press release WHITE SOX SELECT THIRD BASEMEN JOSH FIELDS WITH 18th PICK IN TODAY’S FIRST-YEAR PLAYER DRAFT CHICAGO – The Chicago White Sox selected third basemen Josh Fields of Oklahoma State University with the club’s first-round pick (18th overall) in today’s Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Fields, 21, batted .362 (88-243) with 10 home runs and 47 RBI in 62 games during his junior season. The right-handed batter collected 21 doubles and scored 54 runs while leading his team to a 38-24 record and a berth in the NCAA Regionals. He also posted a .465 on-base percentage and .580 slugging percentage for the Cowboys. The native of Stillwater, Okla. was named Preseason First-Team All-American by Baseball America prior to the 2004 season and was rated by the same publication as the draft’s second-best collegiate athlete and third-best power hitter in the university ranks.

America (the group) sucked. Horse with no name my ass. But if you want to put "Indiana wants me" on the B side of "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" you've got yourself one double sided piece of s***!

I go more for the G W Bush look when cheerleading myself.

today you are my hero! Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings. It might have appeared to go unnoticed, but I've got it all here in my heart. I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it. I would be nothing without you. Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be. I could fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings.
