They are just using it as some sort of (in their mind) justification to do what they do and as proof they're right. I doubt a single terrorist would look at that photo and see it as a warning they should stop. Similarly someone about to strap a bomb on won't suddenly get angrier becauSe they release the photo

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 4, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) Joakim taking this game over right now He is the only healthy one right now

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 4, 2011 -> 07:14 PM) I can only imagine the calls coming in from season ticket holders. What do you say? "Stop losing, hit balls!"?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 4, 2011 -> 07:09 PM) Guillen thinks he is in the NL. He is not going to bench Pierre. He thinks that the leadoff hitter is a position and requires a 40 yard dash time over talent. If Juan Pierre still had a good 40 yard dash time, people would be complaining a lot less.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 4, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) Faking the thing requires too many moving parts... the government really isn't as good at that kind of thing as some people assume or daydream about. If we'd faked it, it's way too easy to prove otherwise. "Here's a picture of Mr. Bin Laden holding the newspaper announcing his death."

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 4, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) That's what's kind of tripping me out about people asking whether it was illegal. Even if it wasn't totally above board, what are you going to actually PROSECUTE someone? Who's going to do it? If all the other stuff we've done based on the 2001 AUMF is legal, then this is absolutely legal. It's a targeted strike against the actual head of the organization that we kinda sorta declared war against. The only thing that would make it iffy is the executive order...and of course, executives can sorta rewrite those.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 4, 2011 -> 06:03 PM) Of course we hit Seattle's 1-2-3...King Felix Friday. Ugh... Can we rent Brian Anderson for a day?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ May 4, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) Milkman being a douche, thats new. Seriously? Don't you know better than this?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 4, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) Its not a false argument. We could simply rebuilt our team with our own players if we not only drafted talent, but were able to consistently groom players within our system. If we had an actual teaching method we would be able to plug fundamentally sound players already versed in how the big team plays at least once in awhile. Instead we are forced to sign or acquire players from other teams to try and plug holes, which clearly hasnt been working most of the time. The organization as a whole has no direction, no philosophy, and pretty much no immediate hope of success. Thats grounds for a CEO to get fired by his board, and KW is the CEO of this organization. Technically wouldn't KW be the COO?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 4, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) Lol, this is gonna go over well: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/201...eorge_bush.html Does a threat like that about an ex-president get you a secret service visit? (serious question).

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2011 -> 04:49 PM) You don't think Peavy and Rios are bad contracts? Peavy might have surpassed Zito as having the worst contract in the majors. I feel like you're confusing activity with achievement, as he's really hurt this organization by going "all in" with a roster that had flaws and sacrificing the future after this season. Again, Peavy's contract is only bad if it's uninsured.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 4, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) Peavy? No, I don't. No one could have possibly begun to predict his freakish injury. Well, we acquired a guy with people thinking he had an odd delivery and high chance of injury, we acquired him hurt, then supposedly pushed him/let him push himself out there when things were starting to hurt. That was a fairly predictable result of that sequence.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 4, 2011 -> 04:41 PM) If they dont make a move they are conceding that they arent doing s*** this season. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) Ugh, I wish we had someone with power on our bench. Lillibridge.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 4, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) I'd love a complete culture change for this organization. We need to purge out the 2005-mentality and get some youth in here. That's why we need kids like Jared Mitchell to turn it around, because the kind of approach he has to the game is exactly what this club needs. Right now, it's just a dead feeling to watch these Sox and i'm tired of it. The team needs more strikeouts?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2011 -> 03:55 PM) You mean when we had an AL style lineup instead of Slappy McSucky leading off and a corner infielder who hits like a pitcher? When was this?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 4, 2011 -> 03:49 PM) Well, there's a baserunner And there it goes.

Well, there's a baserunner

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) WTF is waterboarding? sounds not so good. If you don't know the answer to that already, then you're not in the right place here in a politics-based forum. That'd be like me being a white sox fan and asking "Who's Greg Walker"? (Edit: yes, I do think I just compared Greg Walker to torture).

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ May 4, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) Is that the first time a runner has been thrown out by the Sox this season? No, Aj had a couple before this, just not many. And then there's M-56's pickoffs.

WE THREW OUT A BASERUNNER!
