I'm just going to enjoy our team of the moment. I laughed during the cubs-sox game when one of the announcers said "It looks like Lou was mad that they through him a breaking ball instead of throwing in the heat" after Alexei had hit the game tying HR. I thought to myself that after the first two weeks of the season I don't think I could've imagined anyone bad that they'd thrown the breaking ball instead of the heater to Alexei, he used to look awful with curveballs and sliders. Now, I feel like every at bat he'll do something special.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 06:07 PM) Yeah, he's been horrible this year. For the record, he has the 2nd best OPS for an AL 1B this year behind only Jason Giambi. He's very deserving. Did I say he didn't deserve to be in the AL? No, I said I was embarrassed that Kevin Youkilis is the AL starting first baseman. Compared to what the NL could trot out, yeah, this is pretty substandard.

I'm kind of embarrassed that Kevin Youkilis is the ALs starting first baseman.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 3, 2008 -> 08:32 PM) most underrated scientist ever. he's the dude from the prestige right? edit: blue is the new green

I should hope we have some pitchers on this team... that said thanks for the heads up north side

maybe it was closer!

That was pretty good, but man that guy is an awful cartoonist. He looks more like Putin than McCain.

that's hysterical. I thought by this time Young would start hitting for better avg. and get on base more.

can we please get danks #6?

smuggle back the next hot sox Cuban.

I saw this. So sad. I couldn't believe it when I read it, now I think how naive I can be.

their sons and grandsons had just been shot a few days before and now they were asked for commentary. They were still grieving, I'll allow them some time to make poor statements.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 5, 2008 -> 04:01 AM) I'm hoping that Obama wrecks it and they have to start over. I'm about to begin a course on public policy on Monday, and I'm excited for it if just to give me a better idea of how public financing could work. So the problem right now with M-F act is the 527's and groups of unregulated political groups that forum outside the DNC or RNC or Candidates and raise millions and wreak havoc with many false ads. Now, in the next legislation, knowing that this was a problem with the first, how can you stop these? Beyond the fact that it would likely be a free speech issue, if that was not the case, merely saying you can't have these has never worked. Look at acts such as Gramm-Ruddman, who had many stipulations on things congress couldn't do in spending without necessary punishments, so there was no incentive to stop. And I suppose in my mind the only way to stop this is to punish the candidates. If a 527 group forms with neg. ads on the other candidate, the candidate it would inherently support should get punished, even if they had nothing to do with it. Financial punishment with the limited funds that this candidate would have should be a sufficient deterrent. Then again, with calculated risk, the candidate could find that they'd rather just get punished over and over with their campaign funds so they can have these 527's unlimited funds for advertising. These decisions would be bigger than me.

This thread is quite humorous.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 5, 2008 -> 12:55 AM) We have the second best run differential and the 3rd or 4th best record in the majors. What the f*** are you talking about. you know, like, when you actually watch the season.

quote the comments: " Completely tasteless (25+ / 0-) and mean. Delete this piece of s***!" places like dailykos are open for diaries, they open their web site and allow others to post their essays and others to comment on them, where people rate them. This writer did this clearly knowing he would be in trouble, not the "I'm glad that with my only dkos life to live, I spent it on this"

It's like you guys are surprised by this. We've been good one week, bad another for 2 months.

i had no idea radio personalities were responsible for this much revenue.

yeah, the media doesn't cover anything bad about Obama.

how bout that matt kemp guy? ////GREEN GREEN GREEN

Living in Missouri and having to listen to other broadcasters makes me appreciate the combos we have in Chicago allthemore. My friends love when sox games are on WGN, they think Hawk and Dj are hilarious. Together they are just an odd, odd pairing that has turned into this unique chemistry. I feel that many of the baseball announcers are a dime a dozen, same voice, same token former player, same boring analysis. Being away you even miss the homerism because it's hysterical. "Joe Crede's probably the best 3rd baseman I've ever seen" "Yaz, back when Yaz", in summary, you guys don't realize what you have.

I just know I thoroughly enjoyed that week with steve stone last year. Hawk was better with him. that said I've really gotten to like DJ the past several years, and wish him the best in finding another position broadcasting.
