Only against the sox would a player accidentally hook a nice change up into the corner only to have it stuck under the wall as the umps allow an extra base.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 4, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) I dont really think the results matter. The real issue is whether waterboarding is torture. We know that torture is effective, we just ban it because of our own moral beliefs. So if you believe waterboarding is torture, the ends dont justify the means. If you dont think its torture, than all this may show is that it is more effective than regular interrogation. Either way the question is, do you think waterboarding is torture. I've always enjoyed it.

nashville is incredibly outclassed by the Canucks.

That lack of institutional control is apparently a bad phrase because it shows a repeat offense and places blame on the university's compliance dept. The punishment does seem harsh though.

How could you NOT get choked up watching that speech about his mom?

If it makes anyone feel any better than had to be the ugliest no hitter ive ever witnessed.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 3, 2011 -> 05:17 PM) I never really cared for Lyla. She annoyed me. But for the most part, I agree. Even Gracie Bell stole some scenes. Gracie Bell is the ugliest baby to ever be on a TV show. For real though, the acting and directing was awesome and its been awhile since I got so hooked on a show and the characters. thanks to soxtalk for turning me on to this show, it was an awesome watch. I think we pulled down about 3-5 episodes a night a times.

Just finished the last episode of Friday Night Lights. Wow. Unreal I missed this series before.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 3, 2011 -> 03:33 PM) What else can I do but laugh? You could have laughed to yourself without posting. At some point reiterating your position over and over has to get old to you. Someone else can have the "last word" and nobody would think less of you or your position. Thats just my opinion dude, obviously you can do whatever you want.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 3, 2011 -> 03:23 PM) You played college ball? Not bball, but yes it involved a ball. It hurts like a motherf***er and to this day I have to wear active ankle braces to stabilize it, but he will be able to play through it if its stabilized so it doesnt roll again.

Yeah, thats a pretty f***ed up response. Sometimes you have to put winning a message board argument on the back burner.

QUOTE (Real @ May 3, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) And that my friends, is a EC Semifinal Loss, Hawks in 6 Pff, I played for months with the same injury in college. Numbing shot and an ankle brace will solve the issue.

Word is it wasnt a double tap to the head that killed OBL, it was in fact a Rock Bottom

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) It is a balancing act for sure. On one had they are getting billions of dollars from us, and a lot of military support, plus hardware. On the other hand they have a significant part of their population dedicated to eradicating us from this planet. Then you also have to figure in they are either going to look like bumbling idiots for not knowing Bin Laden was there, or like they were protecting him, depending on what side they portray. This is a bad spot for Pak to be in. I mean, we have guaranteed jobs over here for paki's that want to move to the US. You'd think they'd be a bit more cooperative with us.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 3, 2011 -> 12:09 PM) Surprising move from a tabloid They did win a pulitzer prize for local news coverage.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2011 -> 11:59 AM) No. They respectfully listed the names of the victims of the sept 11th attacks. I think its worth seeing.

Just saw on SC that Boise has some major violations reporting the dreaded "lack of institutional control". They said it involves more than just the football team though.

So I was at breakfast this morning b****ing about the Sox and wondering where the leadership went. And who is sitting right next to me when I finally see his face.....Harold Baines.

Pick up a Sun Times today and read pages 14 and 15.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2011 -> 09:03 AM) I think Matt listened to all of the people who said a one pitch pitcher couldn't close, and made changes he didn't need to make. Feature the fastball, and go back to being Matt Thornton. He's overthrowing at this point. I think it wil come back as he relaxes.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:53 AM) Navy Seal standard weapons are the M4 Carbine and the HK MP4. My guess is that in the close quarters they were expecting it was the HK. Those guys have been around for awhile (ST6) and may have even picked up other arms in their travels. It could have been anything. I was hoping for a guy dual wielding scorpions.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 2, 2011 -> 05:15 PM) I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that room... I was imagining that during the assault they were all in there watching it live like in the movie "The Rock"

Ha, Pit Fighter was awesome.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 2, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) You know, pretending that anyone who isn't cheerleading this right now is somehow just exhibiting teenaged angst sort of validates his opening point. Thats funny, because all I said is the evaluation was subjective and that I had a differing opinion. I am not cheerleading, instead spending my time thankful for the retribution of the murder of people I knew and my friends knew. My night last night was spent reflecting and remembering those we lost, since its not something we are reminded of every day. So I guess I am exhibiting teenage angst? Dont jump so far to your conclusions.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 2, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) Greenwald with a good piece today. How about here is a piece by Greenwald. Calling it good is very subjective as I find it to be a "look at me" piece.
