Nice try. They wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole and you know it, because it's not to their agenda. You know better then that. MAINSTREAM press... they are the ones that had to make it the #1 news story of the day. You make it sounds like Hanity and Limbaugh are the #1 source of news. If they are, it should tell you something about what's really going on. But, I bow out here, because this is not about that. RIP, #1 through #1,000, every single one of you.

You know why, Tex? I was in my car at lunch. And what was the first f***ing thing I heard? John Kerry denouncing President Bush on the war and "now the death toll stands at 1,000 dead" all connected together. And he's the one who said he would go to war under the same pretenses... ABCNews was all over the 1,000 death count - news story #1... tied in with Kerry's "I would do better" crap. You always hear the little blurb about who died that day... unfortunately, it's toward the end. Today, because it was the 1,000th, it was news story #1. Why is that? Why is #1,000 any more important then #596? That's why it really pisses me off - and why I can't stand these political bastards - both sides of it.

I'm not diminishing the 1,000 souls that have left us, may God be with them all... But, the media has been waiting for this magical # for two months now, and it makes me sick. The blood is on all the politicians' hands here, not just GWB.

B-I-N-G-OOOOO...

:crickets chirping: Lame... :crickets chirping: Organist... :crickets chirping: ... :crickets chriping: You've got to be kidding. :crickets chirping: I had a point before I started this post... I wonder what it was?

LMAO Good one Tex

And throwing a few missles at Iraq was to cover up a blow job, what else is new? You give too much credit to GWB for having the power to "F*** up everything". Should I remind you that Congress could have voted "NO" on the use of force in Iraq? That's just one example.

ok... drumroll... if the sox win the division, we have the following Jason will be HeadsIsGod Alex will be JasonGageIsGod and southsider's post count will be reset to 100 EDIT: GO SOX!

For that reason alone I hope they do it.

I'll get hung for this, but here goes. We have a "core team" that needs the boot. It hasn't gotten it done for the last 3 and a half years (if not for the hot start in 2000... FOUR years). I think if you bring in some real "players" you will see things turn around. By "players", I mean getting some guys that will be smart out there. We need guys at the top of the order who will get on to set the plate for the meat of the lineup (terribly lacking especially this year). We need some guys who can at least hit .250 at the bottom of the order. Two -teens don't cut it. Pitching. I think we're close with the signings of Garcia and bringing on Jose C. Garland - if he could just get his head on straight. I get the feeling if he is indeed traded he will bust out. I hate to say it but watch... Texas - with Orel Hershiser would be a great place for Garland. But - I don't think Soriano is going anywhere. That's just me. Texas has a decent shortstop in the farm, IIRC. That would be my guess. Anyway, back to the Sox. These guys need pieces to complement the puzzle and get rid of the "core" that has led us to three years of mediocrity. Uribe and Harris, IMO, are not those guys. We shall see, let's hope they prove me wrong.

I think I'm going tomorrow - it'll be the last chance I have to catch the Sox. Besides, it's Dollar Decker night.

This sounds harsh, but maybe this is why this team is flirting with third place. Three years in a row (and even back to 2000 second half) this team is underachieving. Maybe it's time for "new" leaders.

Grilli impressed me yesterday. He battled, even when he didn't have his best stuff early. The Ranger commentators were saying that a lot. THAT to me shows these guys are coming along.

Don't forget that if Kerry is elected, not much will change, except he will add government jobs to make it look like there are more jobs available.

Da Steff Watch... daaaa daaaa daaaa dummmmmmmmmmmm...

I just can't see how or why everyone loves this guy so much. "Clubhouse guy who tries hard" with a .218 batting average? WOW. A guy who swings for the fences every time up there instead of going the other way and taking the base hit? By the way, I'm not talking about last year. I'm talking about this year and his time is up, IMO.

I was watching the game yesterday and saw .218. Damn. The dude can't even hit his weight. How sad is that?

oh good grief. :headshake

But he had NO lead in ANY poll 3 weeks ago...

Sorry Rex. I was poking fun at Queen Prawn... SBC sucks, ya know? I'll change my name back to Kapkomet here in a while. I raised the question about it being to soon. You've seen him pitch, you would know a lot more about this then I. But with the track record of bringing guys up too soon with this team, to only have their confidence rocked (between the ears - scars last for a long ass time with this club for some reason) - is this the right time? I hope you're right. Here's to success!!

Well, IMO this is a little too soon. I would like it if they didn't waste the option (or start the ticker...) - but they need to know if he can close to eval for next year, so here goes nothing, eh?

The site (of course I have a vested interest in saying so) is the best athlete site on the net, bar none, and was designed as such. Interaction with fans, highlights of his games, charity, there are not too many sites as good as this for an athlete on the net. I think in the future you will see other sites modeled after it. Ideally this year we want to interject more Panther info on it.

Hey! What the hell? You're making fun of me!

You don't say... tickets will be easy to get in September? I guess we know what that means...
