QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2012 -> 09:45 AM) I have to get this out of my way real quick.... :lolhitting :lolhitting :lolhitting Donnelly isn't going to beat Mourdock anywhere but NWI where he is from. I've dealt with the guy on many occasions, and he isn't winning over the rest of Indiana. Y'all may have noticed me being absent for a while. I wanted to say...this makes me more sad than you know. I voted for one Republican at the national level in my lifetime. I'd have voted for him again this year if I could have. I'm a Democrat, through and through. And the more I think about it, the more I am saddened by the fact that Dick Lugar will not be in the United States Senate starting in 2 months. He should be there. This country is worse for him not being there.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:33 PM) I will be totally impressed if Q gets out of this. Done.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:37 PM) I agree with keeping him in there. At least he can grow a pair from this experience. If you think Quintana hasn't shown some stones this year...welcome to White Sox baseball. Glad you're enjoying your first game with us and i hope we can come back to make it extra special for you.

Nice stop Q, hope you're ok.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:34 PM) Get me a double play ball With trout at 1st that seems difficult.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:30 PM) Playoff probability percentages are a joke. Really, no they're not...you just have to understand a bit about probability. If you have 4 teams that have a 75% chance of making the postseason, it's not stunning that one or two of them don't.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:31 PM) I would have felt better if the Sox drafted him. I doubt trout would be an MVP candidate if he'd destroyed his leg in 2010 spring training.

I'm betting Pitchtrax thinks that last pitch to trout was a strike.

THAT WAS A STRIKE

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:28 PM) Ump's call was 100% wrong. There's a few first baseman who play off the base and then shuffle back on a pickoff throw. If Konerko was behind him the Ump and Stone's first statement would have been right. With Paulie in front of him and racing to the bag, the call was wrong.

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:27 PM) Hawk probably would've gone on another epic rant if it weren't for Stoney stepping in and explaining the Ump's call. hawk's actually right here and Stone's initial statement is wrong. Stone's statement suggested Paulie was playing behind the runner. Both were breaking for the base, that's different from what Stone seemingly said at first.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:24 PM) Rookie mistake on that balk, Stoney right. After seeing the replay I take this post back. That was a blown call. From Stone's statement I thought Paulie was behind him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) That's a HORRIBLE balk call Paulie actually tagged the runner out before he got back to the base.

Rookie mistake on that balk, Stoney right.

that's actually literally true according to the Romney campaign itself and there is no supposition about previous years included, no conspiracy theory, that is fully documented. Mitt Romney has actually released last year's tax returns. He overpaid his taxes, by his own explanation, because he promised he had paid 13% or more in every year. If he had taken all the deductions he could have, he could have been down to 11% or below (it's hard to figure out the exact number because of the AMT and all his foreign accounts but ABC here claims 10.38% and others have come up with lower numbers).

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:13 PM) and so have you Where?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:11 PM) He might be. But we have a record of it because the media demanded it. You know the funny thing is, and you know it, I hate Romney. Actually, if you follow the link I gave a page ago...we have a record of it because George Romney's biographer asked to see a year's worth of tax returns, and he instead received 10 years along with a statement that a single year could be scrubbed. That's literally why we have 11 years from Obama/Biden, because opposing candidates couldn't say why that logic was wrong.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:11 PM) The real shocker is the Phillies. Season tickets are sold before a year starts.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) you suggested that Romney is trying to hide something because he won't release all his tax returns! and he probably is trying to hide something, haha. No, George Romney suggested that. And Mitt Romney doesn't need to hide anything. A guy who makes $20 million a year off of investments, without working, while claiming he's "unemployed" (his word) paying 10-14% a year ought to be enough to put people in the streets with pitchforks and torches.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 10:06 PM) yes you busted me. now back to the real issue, where's Obama's transcripts? we need to see them so we can decide if we are going to vote for him or not. many jobs require academic transcripts. Btw, you are right, it wouldn't be unreasonable to see those from all candidates. But then, it only becomes an issue for the guy that for some reason gets a "He's a foreigner!" conspiracy theory, and no one cares about the rich (totally non-race based) people who get into those schools. Wonder why. Mitt Romney could be a Mexican for all we know!

Where is your conspiracy theory about Mitt Romney's transcripts? John McCain's? George bush's? John Kerry's? Al Gore's? Bob Dole's? Bill Clinton's? Paul Ryan's? Paul Ryan might have claimed that he was in fact cheese to get into college, he is from Wisconsin! How else would we know if he doesn't release them? He's an Ayn Rand-fan, he's clearly only out for himself, he might well have claimed that he was cheese.

Move the goalposts? Like demanding a guys school transcripts and concluding that because he didn't provide them he did something wrong, yet not concluding that about anyone else ever who doesn't provide the same thing? (edited my quote).

Wow, that was a 2011 Dunn at bat.

Terrible 1-0 swing

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 22, 2012 -> 09:44 PM) Oh here we go with this whole thing again. Anyways, I'm sure Mitt Romney would be more than happy to produce his academic transcripts if Obama will do the same. What is Obama trying to hide? How are you sure of that? Are you Mitt Romney's other lover? What is Mitt Romney trying to hide with that wife? Mitt Romney needs to provide notarized statements of his lovers to prove whether or not you're one of them.
