QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) Personally, I don't think Thomas would be a good hitting coach froma technique stand point. If only seen him, Hank aaron and Roberto Clemente use the front foot hitting style where they lifted the rear foot. I'm also not sure he can teach the patience. However, maybe he teach overall philosophy. He doesn't particularly seem to be a people person either.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 08:39 PM) How did torture policies affect you personally? If we're talking about an American soldier, or a potential American soldier, maybe. But an average American? I know nothing in my life has changed from either event. How did "torture policies" affect you? In an # of ways, some existential, some practical, but all real and do matter. Even abstract things like "my country doing something I don't believe in" affect me. But at the very least it made many detainees at guantanimo impossible to try on real courts because their testimony would get thrown out and helped lead to the quagmire of Gitmo today, which contributes to hostility abroad toward that policy and tax dollars.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 08:32 PM) Either i'm not conveying my point clearly enough or you guys have some really weird, warped view of the average American consumer of news/media. Are you honestly telling me, in a country that votes more for an American Idol contestant than the President of the United States, that it's surprising that a dick pic controversy would "sell" better than stories about prison abuse half way around the world**? **Which btw, was covered 100000000 times more than the most recent scandal involving US troops taking pictures of dead civilians/terrorists under Obama's watch. but I think you are confusing interest with whether something affects someone more. ANd you said that a d*** picture affects the average american more than torture policies in the middle east.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) As it relates to the average American, yeah, i'd say dick pics of a Congressman has about as much impact on their day as what some guard in a prison camp in Iraq did. I don't think I ever said that was right/wrong, that's just the way it is. I think this is the most cynical thing I've ever read.

obvious news of day.

that's because when you have a stretch in the beginning of the season every year where you put yourself a large number below .500 and then climb back at an unsustainable winning pace, you then begin to go back to a sustainable pace and lose the division because of another s***ty april/may under your manager/GM. And each time we'll have said "this division is winnable!"

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 04:23 PM) Wow, so white people do riot?According to the US media they don't...as if they never heard of the word hooligan. They weren't rioting, they were just stocking up on supplies and removing debris from the street. And creating new doorways by breaking windows.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) Glad I restrained my desire to throw in quotes from J4L, Mark Harmon/Gibbs from NCIS (another managerial candidate), Harvard philosophy professor Michael Sandel and The Green Lantern on "courage and hope versus fear" (of the Twins). hahahahaha

That actually...was...a...great, coherent caulfield post!

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 04:26 AM) That's s***ty. Minny has a rep as a gay-friendly city. Yeah that really is strange to happen about a month after being ranked like, #1 gay-friendly city. (Or maybe it was by population).

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 03:30 AM) How do they make their money? And those "hiring solutions" are just beginning to really hash out. It's got a lot of users and is continuing to grow, but also has some pretty talented engineers on their team. edit: link http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=...;art_aid=150710

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 11:40 PM) I would have much rather chase after someone like Charlie Rangel like that. That's the thing, I would much rather there been the cattle call to all democratic leaders to oust him than Weiner for a really low level "sex without sex" scandal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 09:54 PM) This would happen in a lot of cities after championships if the police weren't prepared for it. when was the last riot prior to this? Denver in 01?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 09:54 PM) It is trading at about 50% of its high from the day of its IPO. We are almost out of the 30 day Blue Sky window for it. Wait until the Put trading kicks in. Good. The company is a good company, imo, but was clearly selling too high. Part of the problem is people thinking they'll take advantage of a bubble. The good news is this is not staying so over inflated.

this is just a publicity stunt for POTC4

Andy Gonzalez.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) I would do that and then if the weather is going to be nice, try to rent out a patio at a bar up north like Cody's or even something more on the main drag. I say Cody's because they have outdoor darts and bags. And grills. Great rec.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 12:09 AM) Painkillers are worse than the pain. They make me dizzy and uncomfortable. I'll take the pain, thanks. Yeah, pain isn't bad, it's the blood/maintenance driving me nuts.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) Lebron totally backtracking from his comments. LOLWHATASCUMBAG. "It was interpreted different than what I wanted...Everyone has to move on with their lives and I do too. I wasn't saying I'm superior to anyone else." To be fair, when I watched it, that is what it seemed like he was saying, but also when I watched it, I knew it would cause a s***storm.

they have a really great crust for doing it.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 11:16 PM) Yeah, I'm just kind of bored and was thinking of doing this for dinner before the Sox game. Would be using a gas grill. Do home run inn, for best results.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 11:12 PM) Anyone ever try grilling a frozen pizza? Yah, home run inn. It was fun but prolly not worth the coals.

f*** I had not thought of that. God this sucks.

Yeah they just said it's normal. Also 1 vicotin didn't do anything so I think I'll just do advil from Hereon since it doesn't mess with my stomach. Eff vicotin.

i've just been biting down on gauze for hours. just used a tea bag.
