F'in Joe "DA BOMB" Borchard is enough to tip the scales on any trade, what are you talking about? This is one guy I wish they would have traded two years ago when he had ANY value.

Since you started a thread about the NHL, let me give you an update about what I know. 35% says a deal will get done by September. 65% says a deal doesn't get done until January 2006. Add to the mix that Bettman and his f***head cronies have been told in no uncertain terms that sponsorhips, BIG sponsorships are off the table if they do not start the season on time. That adds pressure to the owners, in reality.

I gotta admit - this is our biggest series of the year to date. We haven't faced a 1-2-3 like that in a while from the pitching perspective. PATIENCE at the plate is the key this weekend.

I'd use this line this weekend in a game thread but I won't be here... so... anyone feel the sudden urge to take a large piss? (no offense, ladies)

The offense is starting to heat up, baby.

WHOOOOOOOOOOAaaaaaa...

Neither are the rest of us, can you tell?

Greasy - which golf course you working at?

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ May 18, 2005 -> 06:40 PM) Coming up tomorrow - Chomsky in a blender! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somehow, we knew you'd respond to that.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) And of course someone would try to mythbust this to see if it was even possible. The linkage, FWIW http://silentrunning.tv/archives/005868.php Now we really have done it. So that will piss the muslims off FOR REAL this time.

That actually was a good article, even with the potshot about attendance.

Have a GOOD and SPIFFERIFIC day!

I think you hint at the real reason we are in Iraq. Launching points - and a hard-core ally in the Middle East (aka puppet government). Yea, it's elected, and yea, they'll disagree with the USA, but they won't bite our hand off. With Saudi Arabia ties that weren't exactly perfect, we needed a foothold in the middle east. Now we have one. We have 150,000 troops right next to Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia, just in case they get stupid - which amazingly enough our ties are "back on track" according to Prince Abdullah after his last visit. I wonder why? It's an important strategic decision... and I think that was more what it was about then anything else. Plus, an economy that sucks always can use a war to prop it up.

Hermie is just fine, thank you very much.

That damn old hat is like Linus' blanket. Just think, 5 more months and you'll have sox hats with drool that's not your own all over them.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ May 18, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) Well, Mr. Franken, the governments in Rwanda and Somalia have never had chemical/biological weapons or a nuclear program. They've never threatened to "build bombs the size of Hiroshima." They've never used VX on their own people. BTW, did we get any oil out of Korea or Vietnam? :rolly LMAO. Mr. Franken... Saddam didn't have any of those at the time of invasion either. So it doesn't matter. You just used justification of his "regime" to invade a country, so why don't we invade everyone with the same issues?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 18, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) Jabroni has a bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems from DePaul University and numerous certifications, including CompTIA A+, Network+, and MCSA. Does that make me smart as well? Basically, you just did the same thing to me that I did to Borchard. I'm cool with it though. I made a bad joke about Borchard. I guess it was kind of distasteful. Sorry. Oh, that's what is wrong with you. You're a computer programming geek.

QUOTE(winodj @ May 17, 2005 -> 09:57 PM) You know what concerns me? We're blaming Newsweek for the Pakistani government opening fire on Afghani protesters. Last year, the Bush administration was releasing oppo research on journalists, not Kerry or his surrogates. Now they're all but charging Isikoff with murder because he made the error of assuming something in a government report because of his sources. Polls are being issued asking if Newsweek should be shut down. What does it say about this country that we're talking about shutting down media instead of protecting its freedom? I understand your premise, and no, they shouldn't be shut down, but on the other hand, where's the accountability to get it right?

QUOTE(T R U @ May 17, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) Ide give them BMac, Sweeney, and Anderson for Sweeney You're friggin' crazy too.

No, actually I was thinking about our quality starts. There were quite a few before the last week or so.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 17, 2005 -> 08:45 PM) If we wait till the break.. our pen might be shot. You think? There for a while they weren't getting in a whole lot of work. The last week, they've gotten busy. I hope Johnny and Mark can keep it up (eating up innings).
