LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!! :fthecubs

Yeah, you could twist that one around a bit. Minds in the gutter today aint it?

Is that supposed to be in green? Why should the media slant & spin the news for the benefit of the left? What happened to that time honored media tradition of objectivity? That's alright though, people vote with their remote control's when it comes to TV news coverage & that's why Fox news has soaring ratings while the networks are all floundering.

Hopefully it wouldn't get that far. LOL!

I voted yes but only because there was no block for "indifferent" which is what I am on this subject.

Nah, Clinton's mug belongs on a 3 dollar bill.

My big beef with Oz was sticking with Botch for as long as he did. He learned from his mistake though & now Botch is down in the basement washing jock straps where he belongs. If a pitcher goes out there and has 1 bad outing you can chalk it up to having a bad day. He has 2 bad outings in a row he has a problem 3 Bad outings in a row and something needs to be done with the guy. After 3 bad outings in a row its all on the manager.

Dude, that page was a RIOT!!! I damn near choked on my dinner when I read the part about Botch being a rolaids salesman. LOL!!!

Even if it was him its no big deal really.

LOL!

Agreed. Who gives a s***.

I found an E-Mail in my box with a link to a streaming online video of the commercial for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Here goes. Broadband: http://lists.mlb.com/u/477122/14218603 Dialup: http://lists.mlb.com/u/477123/14218603 Enjoy

Both sides usually get their chance to rule once folks get tired of the other being in power. I dont agree with a lot of your ideology but it's really nice to have a spirited debate with someone and still be buds at the end.

A comment that you rarely make? You cant type one sentence that isint full of s*** can you? You make comments like that about people all the time its just that only one or two of us ever call you out on it. You say my facts are slim but offer nothing to back up yourself. The only slim thing around here, hang on, let me use a better word, NARROW thing around here is your mind. If all you can do is point out a damn typo that I didnt catch in a sig I wrote months ago then I'm feeling pretty good about myself. I presented facts about the Reagan administration that you STILL haven't refuted and you wont be able to either and you sit there and call me ignorant. Fine. Labeling people as ignorant when they dare to disagree with CWSOX the pious one seems to be your modus operandi anyway. Go right on ahead and call me ignorant then cause nothing that comes out of your mouth is worth more than a hair in the crack of my asshole. People on this board see you for exactly what you are. You say I have no class? HAH!! You are a holier than thou, condescending asshole. You have a massive superiority complex and dont have a leg to stand on to support it. People must really push you around in your daily life because you're the only one here who tries to post like you're god.

It's really cool the boys could put on a good show in front of a nice home crowd. That's what it's all about.

PROPS?!??!?! From Gammons the moron?!!?!?! WOW!! Lightning has struck!!!

DJ can be such the jackass sometimes. Oh well, he's a pretty cool sidekick for Hawk.

Games like this one are every bit as much fun to watch as the 1-0 2-1 games with MB or Loaiza on the mound. Nothing like a little action for the home crowd huh?

Billy Botch is not a pitcher in decline. You've got it all wrong! He's already hit rock bottom. BOTCH :dips***

There's nothing wrong with Botch's location. He throws it straight as an arrow and it goes over the plate about belt high almost every time.

The bull market that you claim started in 1994 is actually a continuation of the long bull market that began with the stock market bottom made during the recession of 1982. SS2K4 can back me up on that one. As for disinflation you cant normally have that without raising interest rates. Rates were very high to begin with but due to Reagans economic policies they were able to be cut interest rates and see inflation come down to manageable levels at the same time. Additionally, we can thank Reagan for appointing Alan Greenspan to chair the Federal Reserve and I think Greenspan deserves a good deal of credit for ensuring that the inflation problem doesn't rear its head again.

Reagans popularity speaks for itself. As great a guy as he might have been he wouldn't have the stature he had if his policies so utterly failed as you assert they did. You made an assertion that his presidency was a failure and I slam dunked it for you. Your arguments, which are shaky at best, are the same nonsense that the far left has been saying for years. You said he was morally unsound and Mreye slam dunked that for you. I think it's really messed up how in one sentence you talk about what a great guy he was and then without breaking stride start talking about what a bad president he was and making up stuff about him ( the whole infidelity thing ). Fortunately people who think like you are in the minority and getting smaller. Most folks see what was accomplished on his watch and appreciate him for it & that's why he was so popular and forever will be. And you know something else, swearing at you wont make anymore difference because you are still going to trash the man's record no matter how many millions he put to work or how many millions dont have to live under the thumb of communists anymore because of him. Reagans actions speak a lot louder than any of your words ever will.

Nothing you said in your post is anything I didn't already know. Reagan tried to cut spending enough to offset the cost of his military buildup and was denied by Congress ( Dont forget that federal tax reciepts increased substantially while he in office ) who, in fact continued to increase spending. I never said that debt destroyed the USSR, the military buildup did. Debt was an unfortunate byproduct of it and you can thank a free spending Congress for that.

Lousy president. BULLs***!! Since you are so wise why dont you tell me what the inflation rate was in 1980 and then 1989? Why dont you tell me what the unemployment rate or interest rates looked like in 1980 and then 1989? It was pretty tough to get a tank of gas in 1979-1980 wasn't it? How many millions of jobs were created on Reagans Watch? .................Yeah, that's what I thought. Reagan's "voodoo" ( I never accused George Bush Sr. of being terribly smart ) economic policies in addition to touching off a hitherto unprecedent economic expansion also started what would become the greatest bull market in history. President Reagan dealt the mortal wound to the Soviet bear ( still smarting over that one aren't you??? ) and it is no longer a threat to us and for that we are all in his eternal debt. Exploded the National Debt?? Let me deconstruct that one for you. ....... During the 1980's the debt wasn't the only thing that exploded, so were tax reciepts taken in by the Federal Government. That's how supply side economics works. Tax cuts stimulate the economy, people go back to work, people start investing again and the amount of tax money collected increased. To say his tax cuts caused the debt to go up like that is pure bulls***. Military Spending? That's certainly part of it but that same defense buildup was what pushed the Soviet Union over the cliff and down into that famous ash heap of history. Dont even try to tell me otherwise either because Gorby himself along with countless other top Soviet officials said as much. Worth the cost? Absolutely! Now a couple of questions. Who writes spending bills in our government? ( Jeopardy Theme ) If you said the House of Representatives then you are right. Question 2. Who controlled the House of Representatives during the 1980's and every year before that since 1954? ( Jeopardy Theme ) That's right. The Democrats. The Democrats gave Reagan his military buildup but not only refused to cut spending like Reagan wanted but let it increase big time in the process. To the uninformed your petty arguments seem reasonable. To anyone who knows better you are just another mouthpiece for tired old leftist cliches.
