QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 02:11 PM) Why not? 0-0 going into the bottom 7. Two young pitchers battlling it out. Two different styles of play. Jim Thome hitting a bomb, BA catching a sinking liner. It has everything that you could want from a good baseball game. Yeah, sorry, pitchers duels don't really capture the imagination of fans that don't have an invested interest as much as big comebacks or back-n-forth games like this unless there is a perfect game/no hitter/20 k game going on, or story line.

as a casual baseball fan, last nights game was better. (meaning if i were, but i'm not, i'm awesome) But, the crowd was so batsh$#% crazy last year, coupled with numerous reports that the 05 white sox had the loudest authentic playoff crowd they've heard, just brings it home to me, that there is a mutual understanding, if you win, sox, we'll show up, and we'll give you the best crowd you could ask for.

dude has some effed up ears.

I'm embarrassed for him. http://pitchfork.com/news/36686-rivers-cuo...ins-iraditudei/

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 12:42 AM) I agree, of course Honduras would sell the rights to the game to make an extra dollar. Bull s*** I guess I'll give them a break, you know, cause they're in the middle of a coup, and all.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 07:01 PM) The saints prove every year that they are way too soft to be considered elite. K, they just went up against arguably the best, fiercest d in the league thus far, and it was their D who beat the s*** out of the jets. So, yeah i think they are a force this year.

Really hope Danks starts showing power next year.

As I've said before, to fit into our budget plans, we are going to have to take a flier on someone. This seems the perfect candidate. Of course, I wanted Andruw Jones two offseasons ago and cursed KW for not signing him. I am an idiot.

FOr the moment, I'll stay off balance, and just say the laziness of the WaPo to merely frame everything in D/R and nothing else is absurd.

You can. I won't.

With the amt. of experience at that paper, with an ombudsman, you think they'd have time/resources to sit back and realizing that all they cover is politik, and refuse the content driving it. It's a disgrace.

This has now happened for 2 administrations in a row, specifically in this newspaper.

Thank you, Glenn Greenwald, for hitting everything that has been plaguing Washington news coverage for I don't know how long. http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/200...bama/index.html The whole thing is an awesome smackdown, but the choicest quotes imo are: I really thought that with the relatively-not-much-ado about the Zazi case it's because the FBI finally had a case/Obama administration was being responsible about fear mongering. But clearly they are going to use it to justify his stupid opinions about FISA and the should-be-reformed measures of the Patriot Act. But because people in the beltway are so obssessed with getting a "scoop" the following happens. "Oh what!? You're going to talk to me! Let me write all this down. Sure. Sure. Anonymity? No problem!!!" It hasn't been a good decade for WaPo, or a good week. They have no idea what's going on. They don't give any context. They merely serve to focus on two things: Democrats and Republicans. They choose to focus on talking points rather than content. So they can go to hell. F*** balance, it's the most misused part of the important basics of news. Balance is not = coverage for political parties, it's a onslaught of a variety of views/topics/people/SOURCES injected into the audience where critical thinking can be made. Fall apart and die, most national now newspapers deserve it. edit: mods, title should obviously say "Post"

I have optimism they will move away from "raid" solution, and it should be mentioned, the city is 15 mill large, so 2000 is obviously still high, but it's also one of the biggest cities in the world. But, The inhumane things US cities have done to their poor is move them, put them in shelters to hide them, with favelas, i just hope that brazil doesn't bring a big war to them.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 04:54 PM) Is there a better DC anywhere than Gregg Williams? It's between him and Lebeau as far as I'm concerned.

I just think we should be talking about the Saints. That convincing win on Sunday was huge, and very convincing for me. Brees didn't even have a great game, and they put 21 on a defense that I find to be the most dominating in the league.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 05:02 PM) That's like saying the World Trade Center is a hole in the ground. Well, I guess I can propose they cross two twigs over ground zero. It would put an end to the years of failed planning.

yeah yeah war on christians etc...blah blah But seriously you'd think after 200 years Texans would be better at picking their battles. Someone could trip over that and break it. It looks more like a trail marker.

There's a pretty high standard for libel, they'd have to prove not only that it was false, but had "malicious intent". It's rarely won in U.S., much higher in GB. BUT, the court costs of going into a libel suit can really cripple the media outlets.

Mizzou's trek to National Championship continues this thursday!!!

I don't see how these two are related. I'm pretty sure I've made better monuments in elementary school for the christmas tree.

I mean, wale had three sacks against them, that's essentially the same scenario ss2k5 is presenting.

Saying the Vikes are the best team in the NFL really ignores some damn good teams that I feel are better. 1a. SAINTS
