Maybe they will get me a bedroom instead of a closet this year. Hmmmmm.

Hey, I LIKE OZZIE> But you don't pull your CLOSER for Matt Stairs. MAYBE Bonds, but your closer is supposed to be your closer. ANd he just got a lefty out, so why not Stairs too? And playing 'by the book' is what got Manual canned. As for NOT predicting the MArte thing, yes, you could have. He stinks when he comes in with runners on.

Woo hoo! Wish it would have been a quote about a happier outcome, though.

I LIKE OZZIE! Bit I agree, if Koch is our closer, he needs to be our closer. They don't get pulled because of lefty/righty matchups. As for him blowing the games for being in too long last year, that was last year. Ozzie panicked and yanked him early. Rookie mistake from a rookie Manager. Let's hope he learned from it.

YES, he paniced. If you wouldn't want your closer facing MATT STAIRS, then you need a different closer. If Koch is our guy, like Ozzie SAID he was, he should have left him in there. Rookie mistake from a rookie manager. WHere was the pitching coach? The bench coach?

You could remind them that once the baseball season is over, and they find themselves in third or fourth place, they can always find solice in their hockey team. Oops! That's right, they don't have a hockey team. (Although I guess having no team is only slightly worse than having the Blackhawks right now)

So are you going to equate MoveOn.org being denied a TV ad to the American Revolution? Or the Civil Rights movement? At least with radio, the libs didn't like what they were hearing from the conservative side, so they bought their own network. They didn't pirate the signal, or tear down transmitters. I remember not too long ago, Howard Dean accusing Limbaugh of 'inciting' his listeners to violence for something he said. I never heard whatever Dean was referring to, so I can't comment on that, but I DID hear this, and this host was advocating breaking the law. Would he be liable in some way if a listener took his advice and disrupted a CBS broadcast to air a MoveOn.org ad?

I had it on for 15 minutes either Wednesday or Thursday night, and I was not happy with what I heard. The host was interviewing a lawyer about anger directed at CBS for their Superbowl coverage. NOT because of Janet Jackson's boob, but because they wouldn't air the Moveon.org ad. He kept asking the lawyer what they could do about it to show their anger. The lawyer guy told him pretty much nothing, that CBS was within their rights to do that, and so on. The host then prompted him by asking if it was ok to use civil disobediaence as a means of getting their point across. The lawyer guy asked him to be more specific, to which the host replied things like disrupting the signal, or pirating the airwaves and broadcasting their ads anyway. When the legal guy informed him that those were illegal, and would face some hefty penalties, the host got all indignant, about how civil disobedience is every American's right, tried to relate thier cause to the civil rights movement, then said that if this is the only way to remedy an unjust action by CBS, well then, people should do it. So here you have a radio host, advocating people to disregard a law (or two, or three) that they don't like, to get their way, and he thinks this is ok? Is that the kind of stuf they will be saying all the time?

It probably bugs you because you may have heard how Kerry has in the past voted to raise gas taxes several times. He also was against the release of oil from the strategic reserve a while back, saying it wouldn't help. Now he says he would be all for delaying the oil going into the reserve 'to help'. I am all for free enterprise and stuff, but I think the record profits the oil companies are making should raise a few eyebrows. Not sure entirely how it works, but a Washington friend of mine tried to tell me that a large part of the price increase was people buying futures at a higher price, and not selling at a lower price? It was late, and I didn't get it all. If anyone else has heard anything of the sort, maybe they can explain it better.

Hello all! I also am new to this board, and would just like to say "I wasn't always evil....." That said, Go Sox!

I have a huge problem with this point. The UNION is for Kerry, but if you ask the actual members, you would be lucky to get half. It is the same way with just about every union that supports a candidiate. The union takes the money it collects from all its members, and throws its support behind a candidate that the leadership selects, NOT the rank and file. So in this case, the leadership picked Kerry, but what about the firefighters that support Bush? Now their hard earned money that the unions took from them, has been given in support of Kerry. Unions, as a group, should not be allowed to support any candidates, since they do not truely speak for all their members, yet take their money anyway.

Coming off a knee injury like that one, his price tag is probably very negotiable.
