QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 10:13 AM) Olbermann to go off on Hillary tonight with a "special comment". First time he's done this to a Democrat. Oh this is going to be GOOD!! Will Hillary whine and complain and temporarily boycott MSNBC again because someone picked on them?

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/11/mis...mary/index.html this is the latest count, according to CNN. Interesting that Obama ended up getting more of the delegates in TX with the caucus being finalized. His number is starting to get high enough where even if Clinton dominates in PA she will basically only be tied with him. Is PA a proportion state or winner take all? What do all of you think would happen if it's neck and neck, or Obama has a slight lead heading into the convention and the superdelegates give it to Clinton? Do you see protests or worse? Based on a mix of MSNBC and CNN delegate counts, Obama has roughly 1400 to Hillary 1243.5. So, that is a difference of 156.5 with 9 delegates in CO yet to be assigned and that was an Obama blowout. If Hillary wins 65% of the remaining PLEDGED delegates, she pulls to within .5 delegates. That's not 65% of the vote, it's 65% of the DELEGATES. THat's darn near impossible. If she "only" wins Penn by 10% of the delegates (83-68, aka net 15), she needs to win 73-75% of the remaining delegates to win. It just wont happen. She needs to back out now and let the party heal for a strong run in November.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 08:20 AM) Interesting article about Richardson, who comes this/close to endorsing Obama. Includes a sort of amusing story about an early debate. After reading the article, I'm reminded of one of the reasons why I liked Richardson - he's just a straight-forward guy. Its also a nice tidbit about Obama though. I am all for a Obama/Richardson Ticket. I think Richardson would make a nice follow up to Obama when his 8 years is over. People have said that if Obama is elected he might lose the Latino vote to either McCain or they simply wont vote. Richardson pulls them onto the ticket.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 10:54 PM) And it disgusts me. Hillary needs to go the eff away, at any cost. It's time for her to go. I respect her drive to make the last states count, but it's pointless now. It's almost, if not completely, mathematically impossible for her to win the pledged delegates after tonight.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 08:13 PM) Anyone that has been reading for more than a month should know that neither Kap or I are racist. It is a damn shame when someone can point to something like this, comment in it, and then be called a racist. I think it is HIGHLY unfortunate that the deep south is still so racist. It's staggering the Black/White divide in the south. I am glad to see Obama win these mostly white states, but it kinda hurts to see him win these southern states with such a divide. Just goes to show that after nearly 143 years, there is still such rampid if not secret racism.

So Brian Anderson's hitting...
QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 04:08 PM) I still think their best team is Swisher leading off and playing left and Anderson in center. Neither Quintin or Owens has produced enough in their professional careers to make me believe otherwise. Darin Erstad really f***ed this team up. I have always said I dont think Anderson has been given a fair shake. Not trying to draw TOO big of a comparison here, but remember what happened to Aaron Rowand? Seems like for 3 years in a row they seemed to find "another" person to fill his spot. Then he got the job and took off. I think Anderson just needs some time. They havent given it to him. He started to produce towards the end of 06 then all of a sudden he was the plague in 07.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) I think it is Jason Goff he is pretty good. Did he have his own show or was he on ESPN 1000 at one itme? Sorry, did who have his own show? hood or Goff? Here is the history of both: Goff has been for several years a producer for BandB. He occasionally hosts his own weekend show. Hood: He started as a producer for BandB. After a while he moved up to his own show late at night and then to a show right after "The Wise guys". I believe he was let go, or his contract wasn't renewed, by WSCR. He then left and works with ESPN1000. I dont know his role there since I rarely listen. He joked once with a Score producer to go work for SportingNews Radio because they payed better. I honestly thought hood would go there when he left the Score.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 03:14 PM) Why does that show keep producers/personalities that know nothing about sports. I dont know, btu i did hear an off-air conversation here about the "upward mobility" of producers of various shows. Basically, no North producer has gone on to do anything while 2 BandB producers have gone on to be the sports director (cant think of the exact title).. and several have gone on to have their own shows. Being a North producer can be a dead end. QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 03:14 PM) Is Jonathan Hood the Boers and Bernstein producer. I think that is him. He works well with them although he doesn't chime in much. He was MANY years ago. He got his own show that used to air after Norths afternoon show (the Wise Guys) and has since moved to ESPN 1000. I thinkyou are thinking of Jason Goff or Matt Abatacoloa. Both of them are GREAT producers and a lot of fun to be around.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 10:58 AM) Well, it was on North's show... which means i wont listen to it. Having been an intern at The Score, and for the Mike North Show (back when he was with Doug in the afternoons), I'll never listen to him again.
