At this point, the DOJ is denying that Hastert is under investigation, fwiw.

The Fish outscored the Cubs 23-8 in the series.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 24, 2006 -> 03:06 PM) So it's ok to lie, as long as you don't believe it? Show me where Bush said that, and I'll believe you.

Wow. That's bizarre. Muscle twitches and loss of muscle memory? That may explain Koch's velocity loss since this disease affects the muscle in some way, as well as the skin. I'm glad I never hung the 'roid tag on him.

I think Pods will get a 3 gamer too.

QUOTE(CardsJimEdmonds15 @ May 25, 2006 -> 01:08 AM) First time since 1969 a team has had 3 pitchers record 3 different hits in the same game on the same team.. of course ESPNEWS also doesnt give me the answer I'm looking for with extra base hits.. at least I figured that out! The Cards were a single away from a cycle coming from the pitcher's spot. Very cool.

If you take the 5 Sox players who voted "for" AJ and add the entire 25 man playoff roster of the Angels, that would account for a large portion of the AJ vote tally.

I will say this much. Anderson should be in CF in the 8th inning of every game in which we have a lead.

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ May 25, 2006 -> 12:04 AM) But now that it showed up in SI, he might as well have. It won't be long before the haters start attributing it to him. It has already been attributed to him. This story came up shortly after he signed with Sox. What makes the story seem like BS to me is that there was never any disciplinary action taken against AJ. Also, when are ML players on a ballfield without a gagle of writers hanging around?

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 24, 2006 -> 08:48 AM) Something similar existing on the books in the Amnesty act 20 years ago. It wasn't enforced. More BS posturing. Typical of Congress.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 24, 2006 -> 08:51 AM) Yes, but as part of a criminal investigation - the separation shouldn't matter. Whether or not this is excessive is one thing (and it probably is - but then again our administration LOVES excessive action or a lack of it) If the Congressman broke the law and there was probable cause to seek out these papers, by all means I fail to see why this would be any worse than someone raiding your house or office with a warrant. Regardless of your opinion on what should be, this is the issue that causing the problem.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 24, 2006 -> 09:31 AM) If its school sponsored speech, if the administration schedules it and encourages it, its establishment. If its sponatneous, it's exercising your first amendment rights. Why is this so complicated? That's where you get into conflict. If 100 kids decide to pray before a basketball game, it's not spontaneous. If they decide to do before every game, it's not spontaneous. Yet, if it's banned, their first amendment rights are being denied.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 24, 2006 -> 08:53 AM) Except we said we would not build permanent bases there. It was a way to sell the war. I, for one, never believed that wasn't part of the long range plans.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 24, 2006 -> 09:01 AM) Wrong date in thread subtitle. GO SOX ANYWAY!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!! Fixed.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 24, 2006 -> 08:50 AM) True, but as far as consistency, this squad has to be up there based on the LH bat of Thome. It seemed that our 200-2004 squads got shut down by tough RH pitching quite a bit. They did get shut down quite a bit. Very good point.

That's a break, because he would have been matched up against Garland.

I've recently started going to the FP because of the new stuff being added. I used to jump right to the forums.

Okay ... Now we are getting somewhere. The pitcher falling off the mound, Swisher at 1B ... That's the kind of stuff what I was looking for.

I think you guys are stretching to find a justification. In either case, the game was on the line one way or the other.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 23, 2006 -> 03:50 PM) Even more shocking is that Mexico and the US has different needs. Who could imagine both countries doing what is best for themselves. Shocking! What gives Fox the right to critcize the US when we are considering to change our policies based on our needs? If it's okay for Mexico to set tough immigration standards based on their needs, it shouldn't be any of his damn business what the immigration standards of the US are.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 23, 2006 -> 10:42 PM) Oh they did get a warrant? Well, then why are they b****ing? I know it isn't protocol or whatever, but if they had a warrant - then good for DOJ. It's an issue over separation of powers. The FBI is an extension of the administrative branch, Mr Jefferson being a member of the legislative.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ May 23, 2006 -> 08:15 AM) http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12920385/site/newsweek Hmm, permanent US military "Superbases" in Iraq. . . nobody couuld have seen that coming. :rolly Anybody with half a brain could see that coming. The US has been doing that for quite some time now. We've had bases in Germany since WWII. Clarke AFB was in the Phillipines till just recently. Both being strategically located during the cold war. Considering the historical volatileness of the Middle East and the importance of oil in the world today and in the future, putting permanent bases there only makes sense.

QUOTE(beautox @ May 24, 2006 -> 04:05 AM) i thought Nefi's was to just tie the game up? am i wrong. I think so, but the Cubs needed that run and the Sox needed the one they scored. In both situations a run was crucial.

I've seen numerous posts which have said the bunt was a "Great call" or similar favorable expressions. The situation was that there were runners on base, two outs and the Sox in need of a run. Was this not a similar situation to the bunt by Neifi Perez that ended a game for the Cubs last week? Other than the fact that Ozuna executed his successfully and Perez didn't, why was Ozuna's decision to bunt a great idea and Perez's decision to bunt was ripped for being such a dumb idea? I'm seriously interested in seeing the reasoning behind everone's thinking on this.

QUOTE(earthshiner @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) the first one explains it all LOL Thanks man.
