QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:23 PM) Buehrle is really playing w/ fire in this game. I'd have to think if this was a decent offense, he would have allowed at least 3 runs by now. 5 hits in 4 IP isn't terrible, since he hasn't walked anyone.

Terrible bunt location.

71 pitches through 4 for MB.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:02 PM) If the administration would actually show some initiative (especially in the cleanup effort - i.e. rejecting international help, catoring to unions to keep state regulations in place while rejecting equipment), I might not be inclined to think that. I'm not even sure where the gratuitous shot at unions there comes from. Enlighten?

Nicely done Alexei. I'll trade the hit in the 2nd for the out there.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:16 PM) Why does it seem like Alexei is playing so far up the middle? Earlier in the game it was the opposite, Soto singled on a ball up the middle that seemed like it was where Alexei should have been playing normally.

That was nice work those 2 at bats by MB. Don't let up mark, come on.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:00 PM) CQ and Rios barely avoid a bad collision. I think that one was on Rios actually, Quentin called for it and had the best route. Good inning for MB. 47 pitches through 3 for MB.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) Let's see, then. Instead of going up to the stage and beating the s*** out of someone, you do it silently and not make a big show of beating up the suspect. In this case, we can't do that, now can we? We have to "kick some ass" so that we can shut down the oil production in this country. The worse the spill is, the more people will get pissed off at oil companies. That's what Barackus the Great is counting on, and right now, they're willing to take the heat for that opportunity. That's exactly what this has become. And they blew up building 7 with demolition equipment.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 04:54 PM) Does that really matter? Does anyone honestly believe we will get anything of value for a little over half a year of AJ? If someone else is picking up his contract, it's the difference between them paying about $4 million and about $2 million.

48 pitches through 3 for Silva.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 04:55 PM) Rght. I'm a racist, bigoted, money grubbing, oil drilling piece of s*** because I'm a conservative. Keep the stereotypes going once again. Oh, so you can dish it out but you can't take it. Yeah. Democrats want illegal immigrants in the country for the votes, but those pure hearted conservatives don't sully themselves with such trifles.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 04:53 PM) Funny, I don't give a s***. That's not the point, now is it? You always want to deflect back to something that's not relevant. I think the point is pretty obvious. When John McCain proposes it and debates on it and keeps going with it for months, you have no problem with it. When Obama doesn't even include it in his health care proposal, you decide it sounds like a great way to smear him since it was a horrible idea when McCain proposed it, so you decide to declare that we should all trust you, it'll wind up in the law and it'll be awful.

Pauly with the beautiful swings today

I love that graphic.

Funny, because this was John McCain's explicit campaign proposal for how the Republicans would reform health care if they won in 2008.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) First, how about the federal government doing their job? Oh, wait, we need those democrat voters Oh, so that's why you're trying to get rid of Latinos, so that they don't vote Democrat. At least you're honest.

Beckthankyou.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) Riiiiiiiiiiight, here we go again, I'm PROTECTING BP. Now really, who's protecting whom? There's a time and place for the legal crap, and it's after they stop the damn oil from coming out of that pipe. Oh come on. When you have a crime scene, you don't let the suspect control the scene for 6 months even if they're paying for the cleanup.

Where the Hell was Alexei?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 04:41 PM) Anyone listening on the radio able to report if they say it's blowing in or out? Judging by flags, seems to be blowing in. I think Soriano just gave you your answer.

Seriously? An Internet Explorer 8 commercial? Goes well with the BP cup I guess.

That ball by Pierre carried up there a ton.

Seriously, what's the deal with all the empty seats?
