wish this was yesterdays game!

big piece in the nytimes...anyone care to discuss it?

I was at the bar last night, crowded, TVs not really watched, when thome's highlight came on, half the bar goes, holy ****

some interesting comments from trib's swamp blog, after more Ayer's talk: " Hey, guess what, the world is not divided into terrorists and non-terrorists. Bill Ayers is a fantastic person to know. He is first of all, not a professor of English, but of Education, and secondly, at the University of Illinois at Chicago, not U of C. I'd proudly serve on a board with him, no matter what his past. His dedication and caring to helping teachers learn how to best value and teach children who get routinely shut out and left behind should be applauded, not ignored. Posted by: Melissa W | April 17, 2008 10:00 AM If anyone is actually bothering to read the comments on this non-issue, I figure I’d offer an opposing viewpoint to the shamelessly biased comments below. For the record, I’m not an Obama supporter, and I do not consider Mr. Ayers anything more than an acquaintance. But, I am a former CPS teacher who had Mr. Ayers speak in my classroom. Twice. Not because I support his actions with the Weather Underground, but because one of my coworkers knew him, he is very accessible and approachable, and he speaks with remarkable candor in discussing that time period. At least to my students, he absolutely admitted regret at the poor judgment he and his cohorts used in the WU. "

QUOTE (Texsox @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 05:19 AM) Wasn't the use of torture one of the reasons we had to stop Hussein? It's easy to make that statement, but it then places us squarely with the rogue nations. I think I would rather be among the ethical nations that do not use torture. Does that also mean you would not complain when those same techniques were used on American soldiers? Since it would mean the US is rejecting the Geneva Conventions, changing US Laws, and most International Laws. And if it meant US forces were forced to shift through hundreds or thousands of false leads, that wouldn't be an issue? I agree.

So Warren Buffet doesn't give to charity then? Should I take that notion seriously? Because Al Gore hasn't given enough, all liberals don't give to charity?

I didn't know his dad played for the cubs.

Do they honestly think this "poor Hillary, look how she's misstreated" strategy is appealing? Americans hate whiners.

for my 2 cents, this is a bit ridiculous. Athomeboy's posts are obviously one sided that clinton sucks, but at least he's posting real, legitimate articles from legitimate sources. He isn't posting "Clinton is such a b****" or ridiculous articles about how she's a lesbian cokehead. It hasn't been ahb's posts that have started negative towns in this forum, so I can't imagine why we should tell him to cool it. Every poster has their gimmick, his is posting negative Clinton articles.

still, a ticket of a first time senator and a mayor of a city just one shot away from president would have the silly people still thinking experience is an issue worried even more.

well, after reading that I change my mind. This could be the greatest comedy of the last 15 years.

I have always felt Richardson would be great for his foreign policy skills and Hispanic pull. Others have brought to my attention maybe it would be wise to inquire on Bloomberg and hammer the heck out of the economy. I still think having someone so experienced like Richardson may quell some fears of Obama inexperience, even though I question how much it matters in reality.

you should really wait before you tell everyone, it ruins the guessing part.

term limits don't work, in my opinion.

I agree.

I don't believe China should be allowed to do anything on the world stage until they treat their people like all the other countries on the world stage.

I love the site. As for the tone shift, I don't know if it's just a negative shift as much as an 'incredulous' tone, if you will, by some of the posters. This "HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE HOW RIGHT I AM" kind of posting is getting silly. Or back to the fields/crede debate, people acting completely shocked that anyone could like Joe Crede anymore, or people being completely shocked that anyone would want to get rid of Joe Crede anymore. I think since the games have been played it's gotten better, because I think some realized, 'oh, yeah, there's a reason I watch the games instead of simming the whole thing just to see the total runs scored over runs allowed'

How good must AJ feel getting walked around TWICE tonight...and how confident must Quentin feel after delivering both times. That was so cool when the bases were loaded the second time, and they switched the camera angle to behind the plate, and he blasts that triple. That was great.

let's not lose another game.

i saw Juan uribe go with the pitch today...something weird is in the water.

Rest of game, just want a quentin bomb plz.

I feel like Joe Morgan is really wishing detroit doesn't suck so much.

this is awesome to watch. God. Quentin is so tight.

WHAT THE F***WHY IS IT METS BRAVES!
