How about a line drive hitter who is a tough out and can go gap to gap and hit doubles over the singles guy who is a track star and can bunt.

Remarkable." He criticizes Obama's idea of launching those attacks against Al Qaeda here: "When you announce that you're going to launch an attack into another country, it's pretty obvious that you have the effect that it had in Pakistan: It turns public opinion against us." Or do you believe McCain just meant that going into Pakistan without Pakistan's permission to get Al Qaeda is his policy, but he isn't allowed to say so because that would be "telegraphing our punches". Our military forces are probably in Pakistan right now. I don't remember getting their permission. I would rather hunt these guys everywhere they are instead of saying, Dear Pakistan, we are going to violate your borders on Tuesday at 3 oclock in the morning, we are the guys wearing black outfits dropping from a black helicopter. Or the 3rd mechanized is crossing the border near Tora Bora. Please make sure that the locals have Cakes and Pie.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) Obama said that if we know where bin Laden/Al Qaeda is in Pakistan, he will go after them even if Pakistan is unwilling/unable to help. McCain then b****ed him out for saying that. Well here is the response. Please find for me where he talks about not going to go after Bin Laden.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 09:15 PM) He said we need to work and make allies with pakistan and work witht hem to get Bin Laden. If you know exactly here Bin Laden is, you cant wait to set up a combined effort to get him. How does your first statement, turn into we know where bin laden is and will call Pakistan.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 09:08 PM) Oh this is great, McCain is basically saying if we know where Bin Laden, we wont attack. We'll wait for Pakistan to act. When exactly did he say, I won't get Bin Laden if we know where he is.

One of the coolest things to happen from this season was the blackout. Hopefully a new tradition was born. Floyd and Danks took major steps this year, got some innings under their belt. Alexei and Q give us 2 great ballplayers to watch for a long time. Beckham and Danks in the draft look to be solid, hopefully they can progress fast and get here. Looking forward to Slayers first game at the Cell. It was a good season. I hope that KW can balance the offense out and make it less suseptible to the usual attack. Hopefully Ocab signs with a good team so we can get their 1st rounder and we can start to restock the draft. This will be an interesting offseason to say the least. I am sad to see baseball leave the southside this fall, but we got to see October baseball.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 08:19 PM) I've been saying that for a while, you cheater! Thankfully, I heard Punto might extend with the Twins. I hope the Twins go after OC, we get their first round pick. I just dont want to see Mr. Punto make an appearance on the southside.

I have a scary thought for you. Nick Punto is a FA. Let that sink in for a second. Pray we don't pick him up, because he is "perceived to be " good against us. Its the KC Royals Bullpen effect. Bad, but good against us.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 08:10 PM) We should be seeing Alexei bat 2nd and CQ bat 3rd for the next few years. BTW, what's Alexei's contract status? I believe he was signed for 4 years. So he is under control for a bit.

I hope they work with Floyd on a cutter. He needs that pitch to keep the lefties honest.

This offense needs to be fixed. A sprinkling of some line drive types amongst the boppers would help. Hopefully KW doesnt translate this into Tavares. 2010 is when things really open up. Kenny needs to keep away from any aging sluggers for the next year. It was a good season. The pitching looks to be promising. The offense needs to be more than Ramirez and Q for the long run.

2 hits against crap.

So whats next years big pickup. What over the hill aging superstar are we picking up for the stretch run. We are basically the reverse twins. They pick up their old men for the beginning of the season, and shed them. We pick them up for the stretch run. Both strategies are bad.

Stop swinging for the fences. Come on. Its 88 mph and there is little movement. Overswinging is f***ing you up.

87 mph fastball straight as an arrow splitting the plate strikes out one of our stud hitters. This series loss is on our offense.

Our offense needs to be fixed for next year. We cannot function like this. Our offense is built to function from June to August with the temp above 85 degrees with the wind blowing out.

Corpseball. They should be ashamed of their attack on this pile of crap.

They better hit this guy. He has been throwing a pile of crap up to the plate. I expect a good 4 spot. Stop trying to hit the dramatic home run and just make solid contact. Our softball lineup versus a softball pitcher.

Nice stuff Bobby.

Throw strikes, throw hard, and dominate them fat man. LETS DO THIS.

We can all hope that Reynolds wags his weiner at a coworker and gets canned from TBS.

Throw a strike.

I love the fact that TBS were able to luckily get the post game crew from NESN so that the Redcubs can have home cooking for the post game.

So Thome's swing path is a golf swing. Okay thanks Reynolds.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 05:11 PM) Dye's going to have his work cut out for him not hitting into a 5-4-3 DP here. He worked real hard for that one.
