I'm having a hard time wading through that rambling to figure out which parts are wrong (the whole Paul Revere story is just a myth/legend anyway but that's another story) I'm only posting this because I know you'll enjoy it. Palin doubles down and stands by her historical ramblings.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) well, we think voter fraud is a big issue. i can see why a Democrat would want to downplay the level of fraud, it is a staple in their voting strategy. your gun argument is a diversion. start a new thread for that, plz. No, voter fraud is not and never has been a staple democratic strategy. It's illegal. When it happens it is prosecuted. Voter turnout of legal voters is a staple democratic strategy. The groups that do not vote at their percentages vote overwhelmingly Democratic. African Americans, Hispanics, the poor. It's amazingly convenient how every effort to prevent voter fraud manages to prevent significant chunks of those groups from voting legally.

Crap.

WTF? WGN's scoreboard is quite confused, is it 2-2 or 3-2?

Crud.

Lucky that ball did not get up.

This is quite a battle between Peavy and Cabrera.

I've gone through an entire bowl of guacamole in this at bat.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) Smart call does not equal smart results if your jump is worthless. Juan Pierre needs to be able to steal that base. That is all.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:56 PM) Fellas, that's what an ace looks like. We saw that last night too, just wearing the opposite uniform.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) Obviously, there have been issues. Yup. Every election you find 1 or 2. And by "Election" I mean "full national election with 100 million people voting". Really, it's remarkable how you guys care insanely about something that is already against the law and rarely ever happens. If you applied the same standards to guns, we'd probably save hundreds of thousands of lives over my lifetime.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) What did Juan do now? Another CS? Did Ozzie send his ass? I think he just had the green light, he went on first pitch, and frankly, this is a combination where he should be able to steal on them.

Even when Jake Peavy tries to throw a 3-0 pitch down the middle of the plate, it cuts hard away from the LH batter and winds up on the outside corner.

Successful Stolen Bases off of Victor Martinez and Brad Penny. Brent Morel: 1. Unsuccessful Stolen Bases off of Victor Martinez and Brad Penny. Juan Pierre: 1.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) You have to admit that Juan has been a different (and adequate) player for a little while now. Juan Pierre's Legs disagree.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:30 PM) money well spent, for once. All you want is a larger and larger government. Remember, there is no such thing as good government spending. Otherwise, every time I tried to advocate for something, I wouldn't have person after person saying "Government saves!" (From black people voting).

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:38 PM) The issues that Dunn, Rios and Beckham have/had are pretty easy to see, so I'm sure Walker is doing his best to fix them. I'm sincere with that actually. If you've noticed, Beckham's has already had serious work. He's striding much, much shorter than he was 2 weeks ago.

Jake has them completely off balance early.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) Balta, you notice how much Dunn is having to dive across the plate to hit anything on the outer half? He really might be too far off the plate, as he used to have great power to the opposite field. Watch him on the side view of his swing. I don't think I've seen a Sox player since Uribe whose head was moving so far forwards during the swing.

It seems like 4 hours since Peavy was on the mound.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:30 PM) Lillibridge is so dangerous at the plate. One of the shortest swings from a Sox player in a while. He looks weirdly like the good Aaron Rowand at the plate.

Come on Boo, put this one out of reach.

Welcome back captain!

Whether that was a hit and run or straight steal it worked well.

If Pierre can't steal off of Penny and Martinez, he can't steal.
