QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) Agreed that the evidence to convict Jackson isn't exactly overwhelming at this point. Keep in mind, though, that "the system" failed horribly in the OJ case, where the DNA evidence alone was more than enough to send him to the chair. EDIT: Forgot that California does not support the death penalty Good point. IMO, whenever someone has their day in court and is judged by a jury of his peers, the system hasn't failed. Keep in mind that the way the public is given and process information is different than actually being in the court room and jury deliberations.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 08:58 PM) Which is why I think he is guilty as sin.. The guy just aint right in the head. He sees nothing wrong with this. Classic pedophile signs.... befriend the kids... feed the kids.. lure the kids.. tell lies to the kids.. invite the kids over... for whatever demented reason, become a martyr to the kids... etc, etc, etc... Bla.. makes me want to :puke just thinking about it. I agree, the guy is off, no doubt, but my point is they have to look at one case at a time and be objective about it. Do we have enough evidence to say he committed THIS crime, for every alleged crime? The legal system has to work for everyone, that's whats' great about it, IMO.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) The investigator who took the pictures was all over the TV after the Bashier interview. I'd say he's a pretty credible source. The grand jury transcripts are on smoking gun also. It's all in there.. Maybe you should read up on the case a bit... You're right, that's why I asked questions, not make assumptions. Well, that's even more reason to be able to extort the guy this time and next time around. Ultimately, he shouldn't put himself in those sitautions.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) Sure there is... the kid said he did, the guard said he saw him.. and it's my opinion to believe him. oh, c'mon, not the old 'my opinon' game again huh Steff? It was my 'opinion' that we should say allegedly, but that didn't fly did it? If it works for you, it works for me....and that's my opinion.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 08:40 PM) Jackson DID have to drop his pants and was photographed by Law Enforcement... the markings matched.. that's why he paid them off to get lost. Sadly.. the parents sold their kid out. So, did we know FOR SURE that it happened and they matched, or do we assume since they took the loot that they must have matched? Who leaked those details?

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 06:41 PM) This isn't a court room... no need for allegedly. Then there is no need to assume he 'swallowed 9 year old sausage' either.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 07:41 PM) Bulls***. Anyone who pays out millions of dollars in hush money to kids families over abuse charges is guilty as hell. Do you remember why he paid one of those kid's families that loot? I think they alleged he had certain markings or birthmarks on his genitals that the kid claimed he saw. Now, if I'm Jackson, even if I'm innocent, do you think I'm gonna drop my pants in court, or allow my genitals to be photographed? I'd fork up the loot too. It's just too easy to extort him, it's his own fault, but still, it's not difficult.

I'm curious to Cub fans reaction to Carlos, on the one hand they love every ex Sox, on the other hand he's a Cub killer they're gonna see like 19 times this year.

allegedly people, allegedly.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) Crede is gone after this year anyway, let him enjoy his last harrah, then He GONE, and hello Fields June 1st is my timeline for him. He needs to be at .260 MINIMUM.

QUOTE(BridgeportHeather @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 06:20 AM) Last night, I reached for the flashlight to check out my throat, because it was hurting like hell. To my dismay, I saw tons of white spots on my tonsils and in the back of my throat. I went to work today; however, I gave folders of work for my students for Thursday and Friday to the payroll clerk and have a doctor's appointment Friday. It HAS to be strept throat...And it's painful! It even hurts to swallow water! And that Chlorosceptic Sore Throat Gargle stuff burns it like an iron! The only plus is that I now get to watch the Sox game tomorrow on CSN in my front room. Enough about that story...It seems like lots of people at Bogan are under the weather currently...Has the ailing bug hit you recently? WOW, how can you see your tonsils so easily?

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 05:14 PM) I'm sure when he meets Bubba he will be singing but I don't think it will be a talent show of any sort!! You guys ever heard Chris Rock talk about Jackson going to jail? 'It's gonna be uuuuuugly when Jackson goes to prison. Can you picture him sitting there without make up on and his perm starting to grow out?'

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) Neither do I. So as long as Crede tells Ozzie he can play, even if he's hitting below the Mendoza line, he will still start at 3rd base? LOL, that's what jumped out at me too. "Hey Oz, um I don't know how to tell you this, but, well you know it's September and I'm hitting like .185......I gotta level with you man, I don't think I can get it done. On top of that, the fans torched my car in the lot last night. I think maybe you otta go with someone else".

None of us will ever know if Jacko is guilty, but that is irrelevant here. Will he be found guilty in a court of law?......mee no theenk so.

It's way too early to panic about anyone, but I don't know about the last half of that last sentence by Oz.

I say he goes 6 for 12, with 8 RBIs.

thx MJ, free java, gotta love it.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 05:45 AM) I woke up to get ready for work and checked the score, then box score of today's game. I knew someone would stupidly blame Ozzie for screwing up the because of Shingo's meltdown. It took all of nine read posts to run across it. I got up this morning and was listening to am 1000. During the recap they said: "VIZCAINO GAVE UP SIIIIIIXX RUNS IN THE 11TH, YUK"....as if it was his fault.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 02:11 AM) I just re-watched the 9th, and what is sort of scary to me is that during the thread people said,"O' well, he didnt have his command today" but like you just said, and like I just saw for the 2nd time,he was one pitch away from ending the game, and looked pretty normal for the most part, he just got figured out, which scares me............. ...And A.J. or Coop or Oz never went out there to settle him down. After the 2nd bomb, you think ONE of them would go out there, even if it's just to shoot the s*** and ice the Indian's offense a little bit. If I'm AJ, I ask for a high inside fastball on the next pitch. Everyone at the park knew the next guy is thinking to unload on the 1st pitch. Oh well, hindsight is 20-20, bring on the Twinkies.

who hit a grand slam in his fist major league game? A. Bobby Bonds B. Bobby Murcer C. Dwayne Murphy D. Tony Armas For a free Dunkin Donuts coffee.

Sounds like the cops got it right for once. Most times, no matter how much blood and bruising there is on the man, he'll be the one blamed and hauled off to jail.

Are you guys talking about the rubber wristbands things? Now THOSE are completely overplayed. The money used to go to like charities, now people sell them for profit.

I agree, screw the rightie/leftie match ups, go with the hot hand. If a starter has gone 7 strong innings, obviously the rightie/leftie match ups haven't been an issue. Why would it suddenly change in the 8th and 9th? In hindsight maybe Ozzie should have had more arms in the pen today, what if Shingo got drilled by a picth and had to be pulled? On the other hand, I can't blame Ozzie for today. You don't expect your closer to come in and s*** all over himsel like Shingo did today.

I'm watching the replay, I didn't realize Shingo was 1 strike away from ending it....and they went yard back to back on 2 consecutive pitches!! One of the worse collapses I've ever seen by a closer.
