BHAMBARONS

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:03 AM) Well its been almost half a day and no one has done any research to disprove my theory that the Supreme Court could review an amendment. Well it has never happened before and no I would not think they could as this would be amendment. They can interpret those amendments but not overturn them. This is a huge process 66 senators (Which means 11 Democrats must support) and 38 states (which means 8 blue states must support). So I doubt this gets passed.

I didn't see the incident so I am been trying to get a picture from the thread here. But one thing I would have been worried about is if Blaylock gets hit what would have happened to our sluggers like Jim and Pauly or JD. Beanball wars can turn very ugly, Again I didn't see the incident so I don't know how it went down.

QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:41 AM) Quick question -- what kind of pitches does Ortiz feature. I know he had a pretty lively fastball a few years back but did he rely on breaking stuff at all? He throws a 86-90 MPH Fastball a breaking pitch that he has no idea how to control and a change up. I have seen him in Person and if he complains about the mild AZ crowd getting on him after giving up 7 runs in 3 innings can you imagine if he did that in Chicago? QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 11:12 AM) He threw a 4 seam fastball 91-94 up in the zone. He was an extreme flyball pitcher. How would that work here you ask, badly I would say. He had a slider/hard curve I believe and maybe a change. \\ He lost at least 4 of the fastball, a curve ball that he completely lost control of, and a change up. He is still a flyball pitcher and it ends up with the hitter taking it off the wall in CF. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 07:22 PM) He almost traded Carlos Lee for him when he was with the Giants before the 2003 season. Here's the problem; every team is saying to themselves the exact same things we are saying right now. He would only cost the minimum for the rest of this year and the next two. That's only if he clears waivers. It's going to be a matter of which team will take on the most money, and then which team will actually give up something of value to get him. If some how he does clear waivers, I'd take him over Tracey or Politte. I could only imagine this board's reaction if he were to sign with Detroit and pitch in Maroth's spot and take advantage of that monstorous park. No ballpark could help him out. Here is the 4th inning line from his last outing Jose Reyes Walks Endy Chavez Walks Carlos Beltran Doubles on a line drive to CF Carlos Delgado Doubles on flyball to RF David Wright Doubles on a line drive to LF Chris Woodward Doubles on a Flyball to RF Lastings Milledge Triples on a line drive to RF

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:48 PM) And do what make it based on the popular vote? You realize how much controversy we would have. This is something the founding fathers took into consideration 225 years ago so you think it would eliminate controversy now Fixing the electoral college is the answer not eliminating it Ok I will bite, how do we fix it? and how to do it with out upsetting the states, remember that California (55), New York (33), Texas (32), Florida (27) and Ohio (22) are not going to be too willing to just give up there status.

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 08:56 PM) And Claus Van Bulow. Wow going way back. I had to do a case study on him last year, I looked at all the facts and I am not sure if he committed the crime or not. The Children really f***ed up the investigation and frankly had just as much motive and opportunity as he did. While I think he was guilty I don't believe I could vote guilty in the jury room though.

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:44 PM) A CHILD IS A CHILD there it doesnt matter to me how far along it is. So that is why I abstain. If the women is raped yes it is still murder and family same goes for a family member and anytime the mothers life in jeopardy then it isn't It becomes a life saving procedure. Now why are people like Cerbaho, Heads, Lowercase, Rex and the liberals against the Death Penalty that kills thugs but yet gleefully defend abortion or "right to choose"? A killers life is more worth saving that an innocent helpless baby? While I think abortion is a terrible thing, I also believe the government does not have the right to tell a women what she can and can't do with there bodies.

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 07:30 AM) Wow. Cant believe the DBacks just outright released him. Thats a lot of money Well he sucks plain and simple. He won 5 games since he joined AZ and has a 7.00 ERA. He couldn't get outs in starting rotation, or the bullpen, or at Triple A the D-Backs gave him two more starts and was crushed so it was time for him to go. He wasn't going to get it right in AZ he was booed off the field in his last two outings. He is still walks people but now the velocity is down to 86-88 you just can't get away with doing that.

I am not sure if this plan will work and neither does the state legislator. New Immigration policy

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 07:13 PM) Well yes, his ERA is over 10 in AAA, however he's only 27 (28 in October), so he has plenty of time to keep developing his game as the great prospect that he is. The perfect game is very misleading Meaux pitched 4 innings of a 7 inning DH game. Two games before the Tucson Sidewinders had batting pratice off him for a whole series. Tucson has the 2nd best record in AAA of course #1 is the Charlotte Knights.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) ah, i was just messing with you Yeah I know, that is why I said it like that.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 08:14 PM) na "You're right, it is petty and I should not have posted it." OK I have corrected both of my errors that you seem to be fixated on.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 08:07 PM) Fair enough. I just wanted to say that pointing out ones spelling/grammar mistakes seems rather petty in this context. Your right it is petty and I shouldn't have posted it.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 07:46 PM) Its also kind of hard to take someone seriously when you choose to focus on spelling mistakes rather than the substance of his argument. :rolly I was just making a suggestion of using the spell check that's all. I have already posted my feelings on this issue earlier. While I don't support it, I also do not believe the government has the business of telling someone who they can and can not marry.

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 05:28 PM) Here in Tennessee it is on the ballot in November and it will easily pass maybe even getting 90% vote. I will be voting for it what this bill does is protect the state of Tennessee from having to reconize gay marraige from other states. Our governor in Phil Bresden (D) but has nicely taken a conversative stance supporting this measure which is making the left real pissed comparing him to George Wallace. Not to be picky but there are many spelling error's I counted 4 in there plus I don't think you spelled your own Governor's name right. It is kind of hard to take your posts seriously when there is so many spelling and other error's in it.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 06:12 AM) Again, if government (state AND federal) unwound itself from the business of marriage entirely, then none of this would be an issue. And there would be one less string of beuracracy to deal with. The gov't doesn't belong in the business of personal relationships. That's correct the government has no business in telling who and who can not marry.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 06:21 AM) I had to read the first sentence three times to make sure I read it right. Are you serious?! You think I don't know politics because I think one unknown candidate is more likely to win than another? When Bayh is a lot more well-known outside Iowa than Vilsack is?! You, my friend, are hilarious. And besides, looking at your line about being unknown is irrelevant, its pretty clear who here isn't too aware of the world of politics. Awareness of name is in fact one of the most important factors in national politics - a fact which I assumed most people were aware of, simply as a matter of common sense. And your other unrelated examples have no connection whatsoever to the personalities at hand. Using the logic of your example (Tsongas v Clinton), you think Tsongas is Bayh and Clinton is Vlisack? Not really. My post, which you replied to, was about 3 candidates NOT in the top four in this poll anyway (a poll which, again, is ridiculously too early to mean anything significant). But please, continue posting. This should be entertaining. Which was exactly my point - which seemed to be missed entirely. Yep you are also right on anybody can win an election. Tsongas most likely would have won in 1992 but having just got back from fighting cancer then I believe the cancer came back again during the campaign and died like in 1996 or 1997. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 05:31 AM) Thank you. I don't care which side of the aisle the poll is for, it is so early, that poll is only useful to line my catbox with. Get back to me in a year from now... Really a year and half I won't look at numbers until January 2008. It looked like in 03 that Dean would be a run away winner and he didn't even make it to super Tuesday. But your right these polls are way to early.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:58 PM) Clearly you don't know politics. Using 1992 as an example, Paul Tsongas was polling better than Bill Clinton because Clinton dodged the draft, had sexual relations with Gennifer Flowers, and was the Governor of a "small state". Clinton went on to win the Presidency, even though he was a little known candidate. We could go all through history with this: James K. Polk. Jimmy Carter, for two other examples. Just because people are unknown pre-Presidential race doesn't mean a damn thing. I am confident enough to say that Muskie couldn't have won where Carter did, Tsongas would fail where Clinton didn't. I like Bayh. Very much. But Presidential races are long, grueling affairs, and being unknown isn't that much of a handicap. Certainly not in climates like today's which are conductive to newer faces. That's is very well said these contests have grown to be so long starting right after the midterms are done. You really could go on and on with the dark horses infact this point of 1990 the front runners for the '92 elections were Gephardt and Cuomo. But they backed out so there is no telling who could win the nomination maybe somebody not even on the map yet.

Just like what Rex said it is a grading system the system which I believe are located down the 1st and 3rd base lines and it generates a CD which gives the umps and the higher up's the results. MLB also gives 2 inches on the corners. The system is only used in like 10 of the parks and Curt Schilling took a bat to one here in Zona.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 04:15 PM) This poll is too early. Edwards, Kerry and Clinton are 1-2-3 because they have already campaigned in Iowa (Edwards anf Kerry in 2004). They are known commodities. People like Bayh, Warner, and even Richarson (not in the poll) will do a lot better when/if they start advertising and doing appearances. This poll, at this stage, is a 2004 popularity holdover. And I really don't think Vilsack has a chance outside Iowa. He doesn't I like guys like Richardson, Warner and Bahy guys out of the national spot light but still have a name known by most people. I also think that the voting block is key those guys they are very popular in there states which are normally Red states in which any state could be the difference in a election.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 01:58 PM) Well, considering Iowa is the site of the caucus, I'd say it bodes VERY well for Edwards. Also surprised Vilsack was fourth, considering Harkin crushed everyone else way back when, but I think Iowans are smart enough to realize Vilsack couldn't win on a national stage. Well I think Vilsack would win the Iowa causes like Harkin beating Clinton 14 years ago but I don't think he would win overall. He is a one of the candidates I hope the Dem's go with somebody out of the mainstream but from a good voting block like the Midwest.

This was on my AOL homepage so I decided to post it here, if it has already been posted please forgive me. KKK

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 12:22 PM) They are, I believe the owner of the D-Backs called out Grimsley on this, saying he practically stole from the team and that's he's a cheater or some s*** and he will not be getting his money. I don't see any forseeable way Grims gets any cash out of the Diamondbacks. Yes he did and as far as I am concerned there is no record of any conversation other than Grimsley quit which means no money for Grimsley. I really like what Kendrick said " He is a cheater and has always been a cheater and we do not condone cheating"

After he asked for his release now he thinks he should be paid for a full season? The Dbacks need to fight this as much as they can.

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 11:29 PM) That means nothing Republicans will still do well in November. Bush will receive a bump and get his numbers back into the 50's. It's liberals like you that make wonder if you guys were disappointed that we killed Zarqawi and are winning the war on terror because it hurts your party. You liberals care more about poll numbers than bringing these thugs to justice which is really sick. Wow what is with the personal attacks, I don't believe that I ever said anything like the things you are accusing me of in your massive incoherent rumbling. I never have used personal attacks on anybody on this board and would appreciate the same in return.
