SF and LA, although now SF would have to sweep to win the division.

OF course you do Bengals Colts Raiders Patriots Eagles Redskins Packers Falcons Saints Jets Titans Broncos Rams Ravens

I'd rather deal PK for a few reasons. His road ops and splits plain old suck and secondly I think Gload is a more then capable first baseman. I don't like the idea of the potential in house replacements if they deal Lee. Sure, you can say tehy will sign Beltran but until that happens then I would rather deal Konerko. All that said I'd dump Thomas because I am more then happy with Konerko/Lee and neither of them are the health liability that Thomas is.

Ya, but in general the public doesn't make decisions based upon stuff like that, imo. I think in general the democratic party (this is me genearlizes) has a platform that can rally more people then the republican party. However, that doesn't mean they are right...hell I'm a republican cause It goes much more along my lines of belief.

I've long said I'd rather see Frank go, too bad it ain't going to happen.

Gonna put this post here too since I didn't see this thread when I first jumped on the site. No doubt about it John Kerry. IT kills me to say that but Bush was lousy. It wasn't that Kerry was good, but Kerry came off as sounding like he knew what he talked about. He did a good job giving the swing voters the idea that he had these great new ideas and BUsh did nothing to kind of force him out of his shell and talk about his plan. Bush also did a horrible job not rebutting when Kerry continued to say that Bush had no plan. Bush has a plan and he should of went here is my plan and I believe it is working. Bush did mention his plan for transitioning, but he didn't specifiy his actual plan during this debate, he has done so many times though (what is actual plan is) while Kerry kind of just talks about his plan (although he always says how he needs foreign people). I just thought Bush had an opportunity to win this election tonigth and he didn't do it. I really hope everyone else saw this another way, but I was not very thrilled watching this knowing the person I feel is bet suited for president is not coming out well during a key debate that could of given him another 4 years easily. I think both parties had a couple good sound bytes and the reason Kerry won this debate is simple...he didn't lose the election on this night and in fact I think he's made it closer. However, I think the townhall debate suits president Bush very well and that he can really redeem himself from this first debate. He stuck to his guns, but he didn't seem to have a lot of new suggestions after a certain point. Hell, he didn't need to, but he had other things he could of added. He's not needed to come up with new ideas in a sense, but to point out the facts of why he was right and why he should be the president.

Good analysis. One thing as a Bush supporter that I'm hoping for is for people to take notice of how Kerry continued to point out about Saddaam and what not and how the war wasn't right and then near the end he completely contradicted himself. I don't want to give any quotes cause I Don't have the exact quote in front of me but I was just like, what the hell. Another thing that really stood out that I heard none of the pundits talk about was Kerry of all people talking about the lack of bullet proof vests and what not for the troops. This is coming from the guy that made his big political stance on the 87 billion dollar initiatve that he voted against, after saying how anyone that wouldn't vote for this was a fool (once again, dont' hvae the exact quote so if someone does post it ). Where the hell was BUsh capitalizings on this. I think Bush tried to kind of just go with the flow and not lose instead of go out on the offensive. He was winning this thing early on and then fell apart, mainly because he just flat out ran out of lines when he clearly had a lot more stuff he could of said and this all comes down to preperation. Not trying to make light of the fact and I have no idea what a president goes through, but I wonder how much time each candidate typically spends prepping for this and whether Bush's time was drastically shortened by whats going on in Florida.

I was really surprised to see that, but at the same time, i think the site is pretty much dead split repub/democrat so I can't see where the bias got in, especially when two of the conservatives on the site (me and you) obviously voted John Kerry in this poll. I know my dad felt the same way after talking with him on the phone just after the debate.

Guys, this is far from over with. The Rockies have played teams tough as of late and no game is cake. Cubs are still way in this.

Reds Win, CUbs lose. Cubs are now 1 game behind the Astros 16 K's by Mark Prior in the game too.

Ball Four Base Hit, so runners on 1st and 2nd.

Great defensive play to get Nomah on that bunt. But the Cubs MVP is at the plate right now...Aramis Ramirez.

Inning over, but Reds get the 2-1 lead. Pinch hitter and then the top of the order for the Cubs.

Cincy is up -1 with a runner on 2nd and 2 outs in the 12th.

Call me f***ed up, but I just got this odd image in my head. Its the difference of when a guy uses something like this and a girl using something like this. Anyway, girl gets this thing, uses the pillow, keeps the guy up all night cuddling and you know the guy is thinking christ I need some sleep. Opposite scenario, guy buys a blowup doll...does his thing and bam out the door it goes. More proof that the female mind and the male mind are different. And the end of my f'd up image.

One of the best scenes ever. I visualize it all the time. Of course one of my favorite parts is when they have teh company picknick and they try to catch the greased deaf guy. "Never Gonna Catch Me"...eerrrrr I will fall to the floor everytime I see that scene.

I Just never want to see that post saying....apu's tapes hit the net

Hell I figured I"d just take a vacation the next time you guys wanted to do an upgrade. That way when all hell breaks lose, everyone will scream for me to come back and I can rescue the situation...instead of blowing it up That sucks though Kap, you'll be missed. Maybe I'll call you one day just to piss you off and tell you Alex decided to do the upgrade and we got a call from the server company that it just flat out exploded And since they are reading this, I'd like to say that from my experience with dealing your company Kap....I think your hands down the best employee ever to grace the office and that you deserve a one million dollar raise

The only times I was ever questioned about being out past curfew they simply told you to go home.

To be honest, ya. I would of lived with the deal. Sox need pitching and lots of it.

Where do I sign up...I want free margaritas.

I'm trying to come up with an adequate service time, but my original idea was a 3 year time period where you have full control over them. You can add them to your roster at anytime so they can be guys you have ontop of the normal roster. The only thing I was wondering is, if a guy is in the minors for a whole season, should that count as a year or should their be like a minimum of innings/games pitched and at bats that make you eligible.

Nah, minus this year he is roughly a .300 hitter or near it (off the top of my head) and he plays awesome defense. I've seen him make so many great plays out in RF it blows my mind. I guess I see the fact that he doesn't draw all that many walks, but he is nothing like Jose, imo. This year he is banged up and because of it his average has suffered, but he hasn't shown that he is going to be a .240 some odd hitter with power. This guy has a .285 career batting average. However, I'd be blind if I ignored the fact that he needs to draw more walks.
