QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 04:26 PM) Stay classy. I will. I'm tired of our president, who is supposed to uphold our constitution, and our interests, cowtowing to everyone else in the world.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 08:09 AM) Couldn't agree more with this post. People like him deserve everything that they get. I'll make one more point here. I think it's fascinating that this s*** three times in a row now has gotten released when our president goes on a foreign trip and has a speech coinciding about how sorry we are for all of the world's wrongs. What bulls***. The asshole can't go anywhere without telling everyone everywhere about how bad our country is. If it's that bad, just stay over in Europe or Mexico.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 02:32 PM) Where did you get that from? All MLB teams have the same corp rate, its not unlike any other large corporation. Right, they do... and in addition, it's usually determined by the home teams where those rates apply. It actually depends - sometimes teams stay places where the MLB rates are not.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 01:00 PM) last night was like a track meet for us. We beat a team by slaughter rule in the 3rd inning, I have never been on a team that has done that before. I felt really bad for the other team, we put up 20 in the first inning(all with no outs), then we just pulled up and stopped taking extra bases. Its hard to determine when to pull back, the first game we played them we won 29-20, but we had a pretty hideous inning where we gave them about 10 outs Anyhow, my shoulder and quads feel like jello right now Last week, we beat a team like that. It was 20-0 after two and they called it. Our run rule is 25 after 1, 20 after 2, 15 after 3, 10 4 and after. We played 20 feet past the infield for outfield, if that tells you anything.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 11:04 PM) Dude, it's the playoffs, why should I calm down? It just caused the page to mess up. No biggie. That's why I edited it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 11:21 AM) Come on, they are a pro team, they have all the connections they need. They literally have a staff of several people whose only job is to set up travel reservations. Most "home" teams get contracts that are reduced rates and pass them on to "road" teams. Of course, it's up to the teams whether or not they use the reduced rate hotels.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 10:40 AM) There is NOTHING within walking distance though. If you drive around a bit, there is some cool stuff. They are trying to change that. As I was saying, the Boss Hawg Bowl (the new Cowboys stadium) is one mile down the street. They are in the process of making all of that an "entertainment district". The master plan is actually very cool if they can pull it off. Of course, with the economy, everything's slowed way down.

Funny. Really funny.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 10:57 AM) Point taken, no more losterbole from me. You know, I'm so glad that Kaperbole ™ just becomes the way we roll around here. The comment really isn't about you, per se. I know what you meant.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 10:56 AM) Part demographics, part where the campaigning is done, part tradition, part cultural differences. Parts is parts is parts is parts.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 10:55 AM) I figure the sarcasm/facetiousness here was heavy enough. I know, but ... I'll stop there.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 10:53 AM) He is Jesus. Please don't go there. There's a difference between calling him "the Messiah" and calling him "Jesus".

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 10:52 AM) Most states in the US are this way, even the blue states, I've found. If you look at a map of blue vs. red counties, most of the country looks overwhelmingly red, but the vast majority of the Dems live in urban/populated areas. Now, why is that?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 10:25 AM) I think I've mentioned this before. My wife sells Europen rail for a living. So, she knows the European rail system better than most Europeans, i think. She can get you a route from Madrid to Salzburg in under 20 seconds. She knows it that well. Recently, we had family travel to Europe on vacation and they said "when we get to Germany, we'll just rent a car". My wife just thought "you have no idea how Europe works, do you?". Didnt say it, but thought it. Why would most people in the US understand how Europe works? Just sayin'. There's no reason to thumb your nose at it.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 10:28 AM) It's a pretty nice park IMO. I wouldn't go after 04/30 though unless you're naked. I understand. The Sox are here 5/1 through 5/3. I really want to catch some games this year.

What, no votes for the Ballpark in Arlington, the nearly world famous launching pad and sign stealing? The life outside of it sucks, though, although it will rapidly get better because of the new Boss Hawg Bowl opening up a mile away. Actually in all seriousness if they can get everything in like they want to, this will be a very nice place to catch a game in the next 5 years.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 09:41 AM) damn I am getting old. I played two softball games last night and I feel like I boxed 12 rounds this morning. I hear you. The next day after every game I have it's ... damn I hate getting old. Although I've not played too badly this season so far.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 09:15 AM) You learn something new every day... LINK Wow. I didn't know this either. They need to be a lot more clear on this.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 10:05 PM) i know you said it would be for your anniversary in july, but if you can somehow go in late august or september during fall....its absolutely gorgeous up there And it's really crowded. I wonder if you could get on up to Nova Scotia - less people and just as nice.

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 08:48 PM) Rednecks. That's the connection. Boatloads of rednecks in Florida. Hey, I resemble that remark.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 08:39 PM) I think your guys' defense of this is absolutely sickening, and that's all I have to say about that. Right, because we're better then that. Let's be "nice" to him, and let thousands die. Is that ok in your book? Now, I'm being a propagandist, right? Spreading hate, lies, because we don't know what would have happened, right? We have 3,000 people dead. I don't want any more AMERICANS dead from this. He's alive, somewhere, IIRC, and probably not living too badly compared to what he was. He endured 10 minutes of waterboarding. Yes, it sucks. But when our country is on the line, you bet your ass I side with them for doing it. THREE f***ing people had this done to them. THREE. Again, yes, it sucks. But it had/has to be done - we're not the ones who started this (oh wait, yes we are, we're supposed to be SORRY (thanks, Mr. Obama) for everything we do, I forgot.). If one of our countrymen, say, Timothy McVeigh, were caught, in a matter of minutes something were to happen and we had to find out what it was, I'd say we have to do it. AGAIN, it sucks. But if it saves multiple lives, you do it. Utopia is all fine and dandy when it's robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, but it's not when people's lives are on the line?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) You have to prove that he's guilty but I seriously would love to beat the s*** out of him. They had more s*** on this guy then just about anyone they captured, from what I understand. That's what gave them the authorization to do what they did to in him the first place.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) f*** Abu Zubaydah though. No, no... he has American rights... I'll say it, and I mean it. f***tards like this have NO rights. You lose your right to "humanity" when you vow to kill thousands of innocent people. Period. You save lives by pouring water over his face or putting a cockroach in with him, I don't give a s***, and neither do most Americans given the choice. He lost his rights and liberty when he decided to mastermind a bunch of asshole zealots to kill a bunch of innocent people. *whiney* oh we're better then that... please.

Well, yes, it's a small sample, but BA is wetting himself.
