QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 07:37 PM) Since chat isn't working, I figured I'd join my first game thread. Contreras doesn't look very sharp at all, as he's dropping down a lot and has mediocre velocity. it worked for me but no one was in there... strange

HAHAHA why does that always happen?

wow. i'll take it

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 07:16 PM) 23 first inning pitches for Jose. (only 11 for strikes) i would be fine if he only gets thru 5 and we bring in CR. that said, he'll need to be more efficient to even get that far...

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) I think the thing with O'Reilly is that his reputation really precedes him. He's pretty loud and opinionated and he's definitely conservative, but he's not really that bad at all. I'd take him over someone like Hannity 10 times out of 10. completely agree.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 04:28 PM) So does this mean you dislike msnbc as well? in a perfect world i'd rather they only present the news as well - Olberman really is in the same genre as O'Reily and Beck, and as such, i'd rather it was not passed of as news either.

still 2 and a half hours till baseball. time needs to go a little faster. but yeah, i'm diggin' that lineup. lets see if Getzy and Fields can get something going.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) well that reply was to BigSqwert, who loves Obama i don't agree with the premise that it is ok to incite liberals, but not conservatives because by nature one is more dangerous than the other. blamign these shootings on Glenn Beck is fairly silly. The NY shorter wasn't some right wing guy, he was just crazy. this reminds me of when all the school shootings were being blamed on Marilyn Manson. it's madness. i'm really not trying to connect that EXACT incident to Beck, but it's the fear that that guy had which is the exact SAME fear that Beck tries to incite. and yeah, i mean i see the inherent problem in my statement about libs/cons, but just because it's not fair doesn't mean there's not some truth in it.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 04:05 PM) i agree there is always going to be the Glenn Beck's, Olbermann's, Ann Coulter's of the world. tying in 'possible cause of violence' as an excuse for book burning and limiting free speech is a wrong move. agreed, but NEWS networks should not be putting this stuff out there. Create another network if you want, but putting it under the guise of actual news is a problem.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 04:01 PM) Rosie O'donnell was on a highly rated network show. Again, turn the channel. there is plenty of pro-Obama stuff out there to tide you over. for the 18th time i'm not a pro-Obama guy. see my thread about wiretapping. but at a basic level, i'm not fan of talking heads either. Olberman can be funny and have some good points, but i keep waiting for a vein in his neck to burst when he gets all worked up. I don't dig that. BUT the difference is that inciting liberals is not really dangerous... because we're already anti-gun. lol. inciting gun-toting republicans who are "terrified" of Obama becomes dangerous as we saw with the recent shootings... that's kind of the crux of my criticism.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) Is nice that you used such a fair and balanced source for the story. it's as fair and balanced as fox is. i know, it's not unbiased, but how could a sane person NOT think that Beck is dangerous? no he has not yet incited violence, but he IS inciting a high level of anger with absolutely ZERO critical analysis. He's just trying to create an atmosphere of fear. Just because he doesn't agree with the president, doesn't mean the president is setting us on fire

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 03:05 PM) What? You don't find it odd that a major league baseball player died in an '01 Mitsubishi Eclipse Convertible? That is a high school parking lot car. all i'm saying, is if i were a major leaguer, i'd own a '97 mitsubishi eclipse (i love em). as well as something else. but it's really not that weird. especially since he's only been in the majors for a short time and is probably getting paid league minimum. regardless. your sensitivity is stunning.

At what point does having this guy on TV become truly dangerous? Especially in light of the recent "gun ban" shootings... he's fear mongering to a ridiculous degree. Video and Article

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 02:48 PM) Meh that was already the case and it doesn't just apply to this. It sounds kind of ridiculous to put it in words like this, but the government can only be sued when it wants to be sued. no you're actually right. even with this case, the fine print is that the government can ONLY be sued if they've already declassified or divulged the information they found publicly... so yeah, if they don't want to be sued, they just don't release the findings - simple as that. i just think it's funny "oh yeah, you still have your right to sue the gov't! but... ya know, they just have to be ok with it first"

the expand part is the making it impossible to sue the government if they wiretap you without your knowledge.

QUOTE (mreye @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 11:52 AM) St John is 5 minutes north of me. Meet at my house? done.

we should dress up like the chevy pride crew and use potato canons and launch s*** at his house.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 10:54 PM) a - you just kind of jumped to a conclusion based off what Reddy titled this thread b - this is domestic, not foreign policy (actually, Bush tried to use foreign policy to justify domestic policy which is fail) c - even if it was foreign policy, not every decision Obama makes has to be necessarily different than one Bush made (don't tell the netroots this though) a - ok lostfan, how is the title incorrect. does he NOT defend it? does he (or his admin) NOT want to expand it? i've yet to figure out who that's wrong. yes it's simplified, but nonetheless accurate.

yeah. yeah. that was a f***ing tease.

man. first AB of the season in this sitch... not good

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) Olivo throwing? Brent's nickname should be Jimmy John, because he's freaky fast.

oh my god.

LET IT HIT YOU. COME ON. lol

honestly... i'd have sent brent, then you only need a single
