QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 26, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) Marte looked dominate yesterday. He looked like the old Damaso. I was happy to see it. Hopefully that one shows up for the rest of the season. Ok ... I have to speak up here. I'm not picking on you nitetrain as there are several that make this same mistake ... in the context of the first sentence above, the word should be dominant, not dominate.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:15 AM) who said: sleep is the cousin of death? Actually, the person that first expressed that sentiment was Jules Verne's character Captain Nemo from "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".

I've had some random thoughts running around my head today. What, or who, defines the term "American Hero" today? Who can we call an American Hero? I sure as hell don't know, and I've been around for a while. Think about some these names. What is "right" about them and what is "wrong" about them? Why do they or why don't they qualify as an American Hero? Ward Churchill Pat Tillman Bill Clinton Hillary Clinton George W. Bush Michael Jordan Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter John McCain I'm open for suggestions, as I'm kind of doing this on the fly. I'm not even sure where I'm going with this. Each of the people I mentioned above would qualify as hero to someone. Churchill and Tillman are the first on my list because that's who I thought of first. Those two on are opposite extremes. Yet, to a segemnt of American society, each are heroes in their own right (or left, as the case may be). Churchill has been shredded by the right. O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc have just ripped this guy a new ass. Yet, to some people, he's their voice. Then you take Tillman. He walked away from a life of glory that most of us only dream about. He gave the ultimate sacrifice for what he believed in. Why do the flaws of a few in the US military get so much attention, the Lindy Englands for example, yet the vast majority of our military personel that do what they are supposed to do when they are supposed to do it. Why are these people ignored. Why is anything and everything that military personel do that is negative get so much air time in the media, yet so much good being done by our men and women in the service of their country is being totally ignored. People, we really need to get away from this confrontational aspect of politics that we currently embrace in this country. The extreme left is so full of s***. The extreme right is so full of s***. The closer you are to one extreme or the other, the more full of s*** you are. Put yourself in the center, because when it comes down to it, that's what is best for all of us. While you are standing in the center, lean which ever way you want to, but have a hand extended towards the extreme and try and reach out to those that are out on the fringes and pull them towards the center. What happened in the Senate this week gives me some faith in our system. The center stood up and made sure it's voice was heard. The extremes were left b****ing and moaning about the comprimise, and that's the way it should be. Personally, I stand in the center and lean toward the right. Yet, I heard something a couple of days ago that resonated within me. From "The West Wing", which unarguably has a liberal slant .... Josh Lyman: What do you say about a country that looks out for the rights of those that are attemtping to destroy it? Toby Ziegler: God Bless America.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ May 26, 2005 -> 08:37 AM) Your criticism before was appropriate, and I rephrased my statements. Now, however, you just posted, "I'm not the only one that sees rooting against America by the left." How have I misunderstood the meaning of "rooting AGAINST America" which logically seems to mean rooting for America to fail?? Last night, I rooted AGAINST the Angels. By that I mean I wanted them to FAIL. I wasn't trying to point out any criticism, I just wanted them to lose. How else am I to interpret the allegation that the left is rooting against America? In all honesty, FSJ, at times it does appear that hoping America fails is exactly the agenda of the left.

We should make a forum for Anthrax to post to himself. He's the only one who takes his posts seriously.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ May 26, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) Yansy, this is a first from you I thought you were above this peons Calling me egotistical is just upsired. (sp) Can I help it if I am right 99.99999% of the time? You wouldn't know "right" if it bit you in the ass.

I must be on his ignore list. :rolly Edited to add: I'm honored!

QUOTE(Sirotka33 @ May 26, 2005 -> 10:14 AM) OK let me add "other than this year" to the question. Too late. I'd guess 1983 though.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ May 26, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) OO yeah Now I remember, thanks for pointing out How much of fools you all are.. You guys wanted Jaret Wright.. Thank for proving that most of you guys have no idea how to run a front office, unless its on your PS2 or Xbox's... Thanks for playing, lets see who ANthrax can make look like the bigger fool This weeks winner... RockRaines Tell Him what he has won Rock's prize, maybe next week he won't be a winner after reading it. That's it I want to thank everyone for playing and trying so hard, but this week is at and end. Why don't you just shut up for a change. Your act is not appreciated here at all. Everytime you get on one of your rants, you have 35 different people telling you that you don't have a lick of common sense nor baseball knowledge, yet you continue to insist that you are right. You are the most egotistical poster I have have seen around here and 99.99999% of the time you show just how ignorant you are. Do us all a favor and just go away.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) My lost of favorites over the years at high school. 1) Locking the front gates which the ONLY entrance to the school shut with a giant padlock. 2) Replace the water in the swimming pool with jelly crystals. 3) The use of toilet paper, anywhere. 4) The egging of cars. Number 1 could be dangerous in the event of a fire or something.

The overreaction on the part of the administration will turn prospective students. These were minor harmless pranks. There are times when you let kids be kids.

Get used to the idea that Bonderman will a thorn in our sides for years to come.

I hope Pujols is genuine. He really seems to be a great young man and I hope he can maintain it over the long haul. He could be very good for baseball, as opposed to some of the other "superstars" we've recently seen.

Is the link to this review not working for anyone else?

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:53 AM) Good post. The best you ever made!

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) I guess they liked being made fools out of themselves? Pot, meet kettle.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:51 AM) Check your posts, you'll see. Will you ever go back to being a mets fan??? May I add ... PLEASE!

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) Yeah, you have to go back pretty far! It's been such a long dry spell.

After game number 2 of the Cub series, to be exact.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:48 AM) Actually, watching the game under a slight influence, I noticed he sounded like Sylvester the Cat. Thats just me though Sufferin' succotash!

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) Is it August? Bingo. You knew exactly where I was going with that. If El Duque is on the DL on Sept. 1 and BMac is on the roster, then they'll both both be PS eligible.

A sad day for all of Soxdom.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) Awesome news. I completely and utterly agree with Ozzie. Although I'm a little disapointed we brought Brandon up for only two starts, he belongs back down in the minors to pitch ever fifth day for a variety of reasons, none of which I want to get into right now. However, if Hernandez goes down again (and I think he will, probably with a "phantom" injury towards the end of Sept.) we know Brandon can come up with some confidence and get the job done. Excellent news. I would expect that phantom injury to occur at the end of August. Then El Duque and BMac would both eligible for the post season roster.
