I do not understand taking out Thornton here, either. s***, SB. This sucks.

Yea, I just turned it on myself after it got tied... now let's hope we can hold 'em.

That ball was jacked. NICE!

Um this is not sounding very good here. Floyd needs to settle the hell down.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 02:39 PM) Honestly...there's a reason for that. The public still hates this bill, although it's not nearly at the level at which they hate the President, it still polls very, very poorly. There's an election in 1 month. The reality is...anyone who votes for this bill runs the chance of having their opponent go after them harshly on it, or even runs the risk of a primary challenge starting up a year from now. This is the kind of vote that could easily cost people seats, and there's no way that some of them are going to do it. Exactly - and this isn't exactly a "Dem" or "GOP" issue.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) The party that voted 2/3 for the bill as opposed to his party that voted 1/3 for it? But that 1/3 of the Dem party are running for cover. Come on, there's blame all over the place for this one.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) I hear now that McCain is blaming Obama for not rallying his party. They both can't win on this one, seriously. The public doesn't want it, both parties are running hard for political cover. It's going to do no good for either guy to finger point at this point.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) There are more than a few very intelligent people who think that the bailout could do more damage than the no-bailout plan. As the first one was written, I'd agree. Can't comment on the second one because I don't know the details. It's pretty ugly, though and they have to do something now.

RSO! McCain is a doofus. (On this one, he is.)

The Maury play by plays are making for some of the best pregame threadage in soxtalk history.

Where is RSO? He should be able to fix this mess.

Detroit is going to play their ass off. They would like nothing better then to smoke our ass. Anyone who thinks they are going to "give up" is nuts. We have to win this the right way.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 08:49 AM) To me, it's stooping down to their level (of militant Islam, not Muslims themselves), and making a moral equivalency, which I really hate. If a Muslim did this in a church it would be completely unacceptable... but not being Muslim doesn't excuse somebody from doing the same thing. Absolutely. Wrong is wrong. Period.

This doesn't sound like a prank to me.

YELL YELL YELL. If it works, good for YELLING.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 01:47 PM) Its true. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=new...id=a5UhcbI4jecU Again, these people have no f'in clue.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 10:52 AM) McCain is suspending his campaign suspension to debate. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13970.html It's funny, actually.

These people have no f'in clue. Seriously. That's why I don't want the government running anything.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 09:31 AM) Naw I don't think she's evil... all the suspicions I had about her being out of her league at the national level are gradually being confirmed one by one, and combined with the fact that everybody (meaning hardcore Republicans) is slobbing over her and trying to defend her and act like she's more than she really is, I don't like her. Oh and her general arrogance and mocking tone towards anybody that doesn't agree with her. It's not that she's "inexperienced," I don't even care about that. It's just that she's like a hotshot A ball pitcher called up to the majors before they're ready. Unless she does a complete about face, which I doubt, I just have a bad feeling about her. With Obama, you look at him, the dude graduated with a law degree from Harvard with honors (read: he is an elitist), and it shows. With Palin, she is clearly smart and educated, but she has a bachelor's degree from like 5 schools combined... it also shows. I agree with everything you say here to a T. I don't like her either. I'm just more laughing at the "outrage" by ATB.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 09:25 AM) f***, dude, it's even George Bush's position. Also Colin Powell, Madeline Albright, etc. etc... I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Condoleeza Rice came out and said that too. /slobber, drool B B B B But is f***ing EEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLL SARAH PALIN!!!!!! BWWWWWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! /twists head slightly to the left

I just love it when USC loses. Bunch of arrogant bastards think all they have to do is show up and win.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 08:30 AM) So you'd be OK with McCain's camp trying to have everyone shutdown that spread all of the Palin lies? B B B B But they're not lies, they're "fact checking!"

If we get up, who closes?

Well, at least my October will be free of baseball now. What a f***ing way to lose this s***. Peace out until next spring on the game threads. Damn.

I hope Jenks can get Gomez on an infield fly or a K. I really don't want a run to score here... if you have a 2 run cushion going in to 9 it's a whole different world.
