QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 09:33 PM) Another terrible turning point is Danks having a 1-2 count on a gift strike that was awarded after a HBP, so what does he do but WALK HIM. To leadoff the inning! That's just inexcusable. As I said in the game day thread, put the White Sox in that point and you know we're not reaching base. Well in Danks' defense there's not usually a 10 minute break between pitches. Bullpen just didn't bail him out.

Griffey Jr. going to be in the lineup tonight?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 12:45 PM) It sounds like this is actually the guy the rumor is about. I don't know if someone screwed up a name early, but Hanrahan's name came up again. It makes much more sense from the perspective of what we have to offer to other teams. And I have no idea why the Nats would give up young starting pitching.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 09:22 PM) They are certainly biased in their political contributions. http://www.ibdeditorial.com/IBDArticles.as...301702713742569 So Fox News employees only donate to the Democrats?

Is it just me or is this whole pulling out of the VP race thing really just, "McCain said he won't be picking me, so I'll look like I'm the one making the decision."

I've become pretty convinced that more than any ideology, narrative and ratings is what drives media outlets.

Now if I was a mindless Republican goon and the situation were reversed with Fox News I might say... "Haha whiny Democrats, I love watching the loonie left, socialist moonbats, frothing at the mouth over this" Besides maybe the New York Times is just making up for publishing Judith Miller and Michael Gordon's pro-War propaganda which came straight from the Bush administration?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 06:19 AM) Obama will have plenty of time during the Olympics. I don't think his getting attention will be a problem. Yah, I don't buy that Olympics things either. p.s. Mark Halperin was on Charlie Rose the other night and thought the frontrunners for Obama are Tim Kaine, Kathleen Sebelius, and Evan Bayh. Romney for McCain.

Uhhh, lol http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/photo;_ylt=Arh...107&prov=ap

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 10:29 PM) Thats something you dont see everyday. A guy scoring on a sac fly from 2nd base. Someone did that earlier this year and it was like the first time since 2003 in the entire ML.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 10:16 PM) Why? The guy's offensive ceiling is Konerko's floor. Ummm, not really.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 09:59 PM) according to yahoo! we have already lost 5-4. lol. Yahoo is f'ed.

So does this Jack Reed guy have a legitimate shot?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 08:28 PM) What the heck? Gameday called it a HR and then reversed it. Damnit I've been thinking it was tied for the last 15 minutes.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 10:45 PM) no he didn't at all. but Obama decided he'd rather "save face" than to have his surrogate's back. spineless. "The Senator says his comments Monday about his opponent were not a reference to Wesley Clark’s comment about McCain. “I think my staff will confirm that was in a draft of that speech that I had written two months ago.” Also says Clark doesn’t owe McCain an apology. " http://thepage.time.com/2008/07/01/mccain-...lark-statement/ I didn't find Clark's comments particularly harsh but I hate to hear the criticism of his military service, and I don't see him being the VP pick. If I had to guess I'd say he'll pick Richardson and think if he's the one who Obama believes would be the best President of the bunch then he should pick him. Otherwise I hope that is the largest factor in his decision.

The article's not really about predicting that the U.S. is going to go to war with Iran. In fact this article seems to argue that it's unclear what the U.S. will be doing. It even says that Robert Gates told Democrats that bombing Iran is the wrong move. The article is more focused on the covert ops in Iran. And it seems pretty convincing that they ARE occuring. Why else would Jack Sheehan say the secrecy of their details was a main reason why William Fallon resigned as Centcom commander?

Maybe he talked about it on more than one occassion but before the game started I could have sworn Morgan said "one" of the best bullpens.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 04:34 PM) btw for any out of market people who haven't figured it out yet, the Yankees and Mets are delayed so the Sox are on. Oooh, thanks for the tip.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 05:13 PM) What ^ he said. He's been walking everyone lately. He's bounced back. Hasn't walked any in his last two outings.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 04:39 PM) Is Theriot injured? Bruised hand.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 04:20 PM) Nope, he just nibbles so much and his stuff is overrated. I don't think so. He's got great stuff, just has to get his head right.

QUOTE (FranktheTank35 @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 04:17 PM) Man, what has happened to our old ace? Javy looks horrible. He seems to have lost almost everything that made him dominating the first two months. Rough patch, he'll be back.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 09:57 PM) Technically, no, Molson and Coors merged to form Molson Coors in 2005, but Molson was not bought up by Coors. The Molson family still has 50% ownership of the company's controlling trust. That's all about to be turned on its ear as well though, with the approval early this month of a joint venture with SABMIller to form MillerCoors to handle all American production and sales and to compete with A-B. Honestly, you need a scorecard to keep track of all the megabrew megamergers. Oh okay. I remember it being sort of controversial up here because Molson's big seller was Molson Canadian. And they used to have these famous Canadian nationalist commercials and I believe their slogan is still "I am Canadian". And here they were merging with Coors, a Republican company at that. "I Am Canadian"

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 09:57 AM) We should get a free case of Molson with every barrel of oil from Canada. These cases of Molson will than be sent out to the people of America. Much like the rebate checks. Molson is actually owned by Coors now.

Maybe things won't turn out so bad. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8...1811795,00.html
