Sox It To Em

Dumb call to bunt.

No-no broken up.

Danks with a quick inning.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 05:27 PM) i can't believe "bengals" threw that many people for the ole loop. Heh, I understood it immediately after my post. This is just the first instance I have heard the Tigers being referred to as the Bengals.

Bengals?

I got excited for a second.

Game.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Mar 27, 2008 -> 01:37 PM) My ex-wife. Win.

90-93. I'm a homer.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 02:06 PM) Never seen "Major League 2"? Then again, I guess I can't fault you.

DBAHO, I just want to say I love your avatar/honorific. XD. "It makes the women here in Cleveland puke."

That price doesn't seem all the ridiculous to me.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 09:29 PM) If the move doesn't hinder us getting the "big fish" I don't have a problem with it. Same here. I like this move.

I guess I could support this, but in my opinion instant replay should stop here.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 09:19 AM) I think you are making it far more black-and-white than it is. By the very definitions you quote, a person who is not sure about God(s), doesn't fit being atheist or theistic. They could be either agnostic or not, depending on their practices. One can be church going and still be unsure. Its grey. Its always not one or the other. I agree with you in principle. The distinction between agnosticism and agnostic theism/atheism doesn't mean much, and really doesn't change anything. The only reason I point this out is that many people believe that atheism is necessarily the affirmation that no gods exist, and this simply isn't true. I am opposed to the strong atheist claim "no gods exist" because it seems to me that it shoulders a burden of proof equal to that of theist's.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 07:24 AM) I don't agree at all. A person who is not sure of the presence of a God, but hasn't 100% dismissed it, is agnostic but is also neither theistic or an atheist. And I think nowadays, there are a lot of people in that middle ground. The word atheism literally means "without theism," hence the privative a. Therefore, one doesn't have to "100% dismiss the concept of god" to be an atheist. An atheist is merely someone who does not believe in a god. You are erroneously limiting the definition of atheism to strong atheism, the positive affirmation of the nonexistence of gods, which is a position a minority of atheists take. I am in the position you describe. I am an agnostic atheist. I don't believe in any gods (atheist), but in the event that such a being exists, I think it would be unknowable to us humans (agnostic). It's entirely possible, and indeed quite common, for people who do not believe in gods to be unsure. Of course, I would go as far to say that the majority of people of the position you have described are more likely to be agnostic theists, people who do not claim to be sure of the existence of God, but still believe in one.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Aug 14, 2007 -> 06:13 PM) I would disagree with that. An atheist generally believes that there is no higher power. An agnostic generally does not know. It's the opposite of a gnostic. Atheism is merely the absence of theism, not a positive belief in the nonexistence of gods. It is true that some atheists may hold that no gods do or can exist, but this extra step isn't necessary for the "atheist" label to apply. Consequently, everyone is either an atheist or a theist: either one believes in a god (theist) or one does not (atheist). Agnosticism deals with knowledge, not belief, and is in a separate domain from theism and atheism. An agnostic believes that the existence of gods is unknowable, or inherently unknowable. Agnosticism is compatible with both theism and atheism and is in no way a "third-way" between the two, as commonly perceived.

Maybe this is a precursor to a big deal (I can dream, can't I?).

Is Gagne a FA after this season?

For a big package I'd deal Jenks in a heartbeat. Since he's young, cheap, and established he could bring a king's ransom, maybe even as much as Texas got for Teixeria. As much as it pains me to say it, there's no point in us keeping a dominating close when we probably won't be competing for a couple of years.

Ugh, I want nothing to with Wily Mo Pena and his .312 OBP, high K rate, and bad defense.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Holy ****. I'd wonder if they'd make the same offer for Konerko.

Murton's okay, but there is no way I would trade Dye straight-up for him.
