QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Feb 25, 2006 -> 09:39 AM) Anybody who doesn't have serious moral reservations about abortion is pretty nuts. Anybody who doesn't have serious moral reservations about capital punishment is pretty nuts. Not directed towards you only, YAS. As many have argued for the sanctity of life being inherent then there is nothing that a person can do to lose that. Only people can choose to take it away from them. Abortion should be safe, legal and rare. The legislators should focus on sane/rational discussions of sexual education with children so they can be prepared for sexual activity in the future instead of merely banning it. As we've seen with alcohol and the war on drugs -- mere prohibition does not work and is not effective. A serious, well-reasoned discussion giving people all the benefits and risks of sex and sexual activity would do wonders to cutting down the rate of abortions -- much more than abstinence only education. Simply making abortion illegal will not stop abortion -- it will just make it less safe for women who want them to get them. Good response. Very true.

QUOTE(minors @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 01:09 PM) To have an abortion just to get rid of the baby is Murder plain and simple. It's not plain and simple. To decide to have an abortion is a very big choice - I myself know numerous women who have had them, and none of them did it callously or without a lot of thought. I would suspect the number of women who did it as a birth control measure after sex instead of before is extremely low. What we as a society need to do is reduce the need for abortions - however the religious right seems to not want to do the things necessary to reduce this need: educate young women on birth control and ways to prevent pregnancy besides abstinence, and teach them that their bodies are not their enemies. I believe they are reticent to do this because of deep-rooted misogynism, which thinks that women should remain inferior to men, and not be sexually empowered. The major problem is how the right, and with that, how the church views the roles of women in society. From my blog on MySpace: There is no doubt that there is a (large) portion of the population that views women's roles in society as nothing more than as slaves to their masters. Why would we want them to have their own personalities - when they can parrot everything we tell them, and will cook, clean, and serve us as we want? How can a "partnership" exist between two people where one is truly subservient to the other? How is that love? I just don't get it. What kind of sick world do we live in where we're going to FORCE women to have the babies that are created due to rape & incest?? What the f*** is this?? What better way to show them that they are seen as nothing more than breeding machines who shouldn't be allowed to make their own decisions for their own bodies?? Who knows better than an individual woman what's right for her body - well, we do, the legislature, obviously. OBVIOUSLY." Women are not brainless breeding machines. Forcing them to have babies they don't want is SLAVERY, to coin a phrase, pure and simple.

that is HILARIOUS!!! Bill O'Reilly - today's worst person in the world!!!

I think we should keep a running tally of all the media outlets (TV shows, magazines, websites) that pick the Sox to repeat in 2006. I've seen numerous fans' predictions, but not major media (yet). I suspect we'll see some after ST gets going.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 10:12 AM) So the final two spots would go to Borch & Lopez. Am I counting wrong? I got one final spot. bench: Owens, Ozuna, Mackowiak, Widger bullpen: Jenks, Hermanson, Politte, Cotts, McCarthy, Bajenaru Okay, so Jeff's not a lock. But still, that's two pitchers left - not a pitcher and a bench guy.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 07:40 AM) and that is the best picture of sasha cohen i have ever seen. Yes, I agree. Way better than last night anyway.

BLECHHH! Miller is awful. I like Bud. Mmmmmm... Bud.

Someone needs to put Shawn in the Sharpshooter.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 25, 2006 -> 10:49 AM) Esteban Loaiza started the All Star game a few years back, that doesnt mean he is an ace. Buehrle flirts with being an ace, but he isnt a complete ace right now. He could be, but I guess thats up to him Loaiza was that year. so let me get this argument right - you're saying the best pitcher on the best team in baseball isn't an ace? Does that make any sense?

he's an ace - he started the all-star game last year!!!!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jan 19, 2006 -> 10:56 AM) Is there something wrong with this guy that I have never heard about? You know, besides being slow and fat. I don't understand how he can still be a FA. I think he's really good. Weird market.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 19, 2006 -> 07:33 AM) How can you like Owens numbers more?? How many seasons have you actually seen Ownens' numbers? 1? Because ANderson has been doing it since he was drafted in our system, not to mention shown improvement and ability to adapt at every level he was placed. Not to mention that Owens is probably a corner OF'er eventually, and ANderson plays a better CF. Owens led the Southern League with a .331 average with a .393 OBP, which was higher than Anderson's numbers last year. Yes, it's a small one-year sample, but Anderson didn't have a spectacular 2004 either. Personally, I think adding Owens in the 2-hole will allow us to move Iguchi down in the order without a hude drop-off. I'm not sure Anderson is a #2 hitter. Now, our offense is stacked, and while praising Owens in December (Ozzie said he would let Jerry and Brian compete for the CF job in ST) - Ozzie also said that defense would be every bit as important as offense. So who knows?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 04:15 PM) yep. We got that the first time. I put it on my sig. Now we know. Uh oh, now I've done it. Put up or shut up time. Go Jerry! Please show I'm not a complete boob. btw, I'm not anti-Anderson. I like him a lot. I just like Owens' numbers more, so I'm going out on a limb, pimping him. The last guy I felt real good about was Iguchi. And before that, Carlos Lee. Of course, I thought Carlos should play 3B, so what do I know?

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 09:31 AM) I hope there's something in this contract that forbids him from cutting his mullett. Huh? Crede does not have a mullet. His hair was shaggy all over - not long in the back/short in the front.

My gut says Jerry Owens will beat Brian Anderson out for CF, and then proceed to win ROTY.

Iguchi series MVP. seems appropriate.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 02:18 PM) According to The Angels biggest problem, and I think this is obvious to everyone right now, is their starting pitching, where they have Colon, Lackey, and Ervin Santana as their top 3 guys, and potentially 2 former bullpen guys in Kelvin Escobar and possibly either another rookie or Hector Carrasco (who has started 7 games in his career, 5 last year with the nats) in their 4-5 starter spots, to say nothing about the fact that Colon's "David Wells workout tapes" seemed to start taking their toll on him last year. Last year he was wracked with injuries, but in 2004, Escobar was arguably the Angels' best starter. He's a big IF, but if he's healthy, a rotation of Cy Young-winner Colon, Lackey, Escobar, Santana and whoever should be enough to win the West. Texas has improved, but they haven't turned the corner with pitching yet. Oakland is probably the favorite, but with young pitching as we saw in the 2nd half last year, slumps can happen. If the Angels can swing a surprise starter, or get any production of the 5 spot, they should win the division, but it's awful close.

Sox win again. 12-4. We lead the Series 3-1. Woo frickin' hoo.

Owens will win the starting centerfielder job, mark my words. Rookie of the Year.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 11:04 AM) Remember when Alex Cora fouled off like 18 pitches(no joke, I know he passed 14 pitches at least) against Matt Clement 2 years ago, before he finally hit a homerun? But to say Juan Uribe did it, against a league that is well known for their junk-ball pitchers, thats just laughable. Cora fouled off 14 consecutive pitches in an 18-pitch at-bat, resulting in a HR. The fact that it was against the Cubs makes it classic.

I'd still take Lee.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 11:29 AM) I don't wanna see him anywhere near CF. I need a good defensive player out there. Oh well.....

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) Chris Young was most definately in the future plans. As of yesterday he was on pace to be our starting CF in '07. Meet Jerry Owens.
