really, tex? Does someone need to point it out to you?

I wasn't even nominated dudes.

Tweet from journalist friend aamer madhani aamermadhani Just interviewed Ayad Jamal Aldin. Says U.S. will need to stay in #Iraq if Shiite religious parties win #March 7. What do you think lost?

In another great chapter in filibuster history, yesterday cloture for the jobs bill was secured with a vote of 62-30. Today they voted on the jobs bill. It passed 70-28. Six republican senators (2 were absent) acted to make sure the bill could not be voted on by their colleagues, but when it was brought up to vote, they found it to be such a good bill they would in fact vote for it. Cute, huh? It'd be like if we are deciding on dinner, and people mentioned chilis, and then someone said "well lets take a vote" I would be like "NO we can NOT vote on this!" but then when we do vote, i vote yes for chilis. It used to be the opposite, you'd vote to end debate because everyone had their say, but you'd vote against the bill because you didn't like it.

Damn it.

I really can't stand when people who aren't on twitter bad mouth it. I get it you think it's just people saying "i'm eating cereal!" but really if that's all that's on your twitter page you just should stop following your boring friends and find the gems...like roger ebert.

kinda disappointed how low nunez is.

Yeah, that would be great that KW tried to get hitters too, but in the end we didn't acquired maybe one average bat (teahan). So...i'm not going to give accolades for trying really hard, or else i'll go give jerry krause a great big hug for that 2000 free agent offseason.

this really weird "andrew sullivan is an anti-semite" campaign TNR has going on really looks awful upon them.

fade into bolivia?

That's integrity! Now if only Jones/Kotsay will turn down their starting DH positions so we'll get a real hitter.

his plus defense at third?

uhhh, mr. gregory, if you need walker to go off the record for that article you are retarded. love, ben

We totally won the hypothetical offseason!

Have we considered befriending an adolescent boy whose father told him he would return if the white sox won the pennant to be some sort of club house consultant? It may yield some benefits.

Extrapolating is just not a very good idea to base your projections on. If we extrapolated Jermaine dyes season last year after the all star break he would've been going for a 40 HR season. I mean, extrapolating Beckhams #s for a full season I feel is a lot more reasonable than doing it for a 33 year old injury plagued outfielder who has sucked for 3 years now.

This episode has little to do with it. The Goldstone report was the major factor. It was something that got a little bit of play on the blogs here, but it was a major revelation in other countries.

what kind of shape is rios in? Surely that will tell us.

so happy to hear we won. Hell of a winter olympics for ze U. S . Ahhh so far

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 02:30 AM) A CF with a bad attitude? If he doesn't turn that around quick, he'll never, ever, ever play. plz tell me he isn't communist

I really don't think dye deserves 4 million or will get it.
