Jose Contreras was horse s*** this time last year too... just sayin'.

Let me throw this in the mix. NK doesn't take a s*** without China's blessing. Think about it. NK is a China puppet state. Period. /carry on

That's great.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jul 6, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) Here are some ideas that the Democrats have that most people agree with. Women deserve control over their body. Health care should be affordable. We should have a balanced budget. The US should be energy independent by 2020. The Voting Rights Act should be renewed. There should be a comprehensive immigration reform package which should address both immediate concerns regarding border security and also stemming the flow of attempts to cross illegally. But I'm sure you're going to say they aren't really ideas. Because you always do, Kap. Every time they come up with an idea - you say they don't mean it, or its not good enough. At least there are debates about what to do in the Democratic Party. The only substantive public discussion about how to change our Iraq policy in a way that's beneficial to the US is in the Democratic Party for example. You know why I like the Democratic Party? It's the only place where you can be pro-choice OR pro-life and be welcomed in by the party leadership. It's the only place where you can be for OR against the Iraq war policy and be welcomed in by the party leadership. It's the only place where you can disagree with the party line and be allowed in, and work to change hearts and minds within the party. By the way, Howard Dean, and a handful of other senators have said that they will only support Lieberman in the general election if he wins in the primary. Which is as it should be, if he bolts the party, he shouldn't expect the party's support. I can write a list of ideas, too. Big whoop. Now you're going to say that your party can't get anything going because they have those bastard, women hating, money grubbing, oil powerful, who-gives-a-s***-about-healthcare, ,immagrant loving, rich ass Republicans standing in the way. Because, you always do, Rex. Seriously. I hear what you're saying, but a lot of these ideas are in the Republican Party, too. It's HOW YOU IMPLEMENT the plan, not just the idea. Give me a centrist Democrat that can get something done, and I'll punch their ticket, happily, I might add. Right now, the party (BOTH parties) are hijacked by extremism, and we get nowhere.

I have not seen one single news report that is showing the actual vote counts, only %'s. Now why is that?

Holy s***, that's CLOSE!

You know why Dems get painted as assmunches? Because most of you all don't ever seem to have a thought of your own, except 'whatever Bush doesn't want, we do'. Come up with an original idea and stick to it, that MOST AMERICANS WILL AGREE WITH, and you'll get the House, Senate, and White House back. I know the 'right wing media' has really made the 'cut and run' crap stick. If a Democrat came up with a plan that said we're staying in Iraq util the job's 'finished' and that's sooner rather then later, he/she would probably get some attention. If they were moderate on taxes (read, I'm going to raise taxes for the 28% bracket and above doesn't work), they would get listened to. Ohhhhhh, but we must have an alternative, and the Dems have to go to an extreme to be different then the Republicans. Somewhere, somehow, someone needs to take a middle ground. If they did, and it wasn't Hillary just doing what polls tell her to do (for example), that candidate would win 65% of the vote right now.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 04:50 PM) After that June.... that is when I was finally convinced they are for real. They beat the crap out of the same NL (read, CRAP) teams we did in June. Let's see July.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 03:38 PM) That's true to a certain extent. For example, if Lieberman doesn't get on the ticket, a Republican will take his seat in CT. However, something tells me that Nancy Pelosi and Ted Kennedy aren't going anywhere. But, overall, I agree that they won't win nearly as many seats if they put far-left candidates on the ballots. I'm still dumbfounded as to why the Dems are moving in this direction. The Republicans in a vulnerable position right now, but the strategy of putting nuts like Dean and Pelosi in high-ranking and high-visibility positions is not going to help them take advantage of that. I agree. If they moved to the center, they would clean house this fall. But, it's not happening. Look, most people in the country fall in the middle, and neither party can move toward it. Representation of the people, my ass.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 03:33 PM) Its clearly a battle to see who is the tallest midget down there. I don't think either of them is worth the paper the vote tally is printed on. You don't want the socialist candidate, trust me. He will become GREAT PALS with Hugo Chavez and Fidel... just what we need.

This isn't a surprise, if you're paying attention. FOIL!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to two of the best guys around... say... it's America's birthday, too!!!

I'd go to battle when it counts with any of these guys, anytime, anywhere. Period. This is my team... and I'm pulling for them to get through their "troubles". After watching these guys almost blow it last year and man the hell up like no one's business, to s*** all over them before the all-star break at 25 games over .500 is asinine. When the real war begins, my money's on them.

Evil and WC... don't answer the question I had for Rex... dammit... you have given him the answers.

Who gives a rats ass?

"Honestly, we don't put too much stock in opinion outside of our clubhouse. I'm not saying that to sound arrogant, but if we would have listened to what people outside the clubhouse were saying, we wouldn't have had our second baseman, our right fielder, the left fielder, the center fielder, shortstop, half the pitching staff and the catcher. So, sorry, we believe in what we believe in, and that's the way we'll sink or swim.'' I should just post this everywhere.

MY NEW SIG! "Honestly, we don't put too much stock in opinion outside of our clubhouse.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) I agree. And we will now start playing some of the better teams. For some reason we seem to step it up against the elite teams and play down to the lower tiered teams. Good post, and I agree 100%.

And what are the wishes of the Democratic Party? Spell it out for us.

Gee, just like an American election.

Please do keep us up to date, if you can. I won't have time tonight so it will be good to go here early in the AM to get the scoop.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) That doesn't mean Cliff didn't suck. He's horrible with those bone chips. I don't care if every other player gave up 10 runs for us, the other guys have proven something good this year, Cliff has proven that he sucks this year. yea, no doubt, but the game was lost way before Cliffy ever set foot onto the field.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) maybe we do the impossible and catch up without those 4 earned runs by pollitte. f*** that. This was not Cliffy's loss. Come on, let's get real. The whole staff sucked balls today, especially our "ace".

Yea, now we're going to hear from Cubs fans about how good they really are because they can put a 7 spot in the first inning against us. STFU, assholes. You're last. Enough said.
