The Jets need a big defensive play here now. They've shown no ability to slow down the Colts aside from that forced fumble since early Q1.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 05:07 PM) And it's interesting that despite the complete lack of evidence, you are willing to believe the same agencies that failed to prevent the attack in the first place. So you really believe that this event was planned and organized by a centralized AQ structure, and this isn't just UBL trying to co-opt credit?

So that's what, >250 passing yards for Manning through 2.5 quarters? And its not like they've struggled running the ball either (aside from one notable play).

What was the score mid-3rd-quarter of the last matchup when the Colts threw in the towel? I feel like we're almost just restarting at that point.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 05:00 PM) Receiver? Still in football mode, B? Correctamundoaio.

That's more like what you expect from that Colts team.

I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing how many different names have already appeared in this thread.

It's interesting that you and the Post are seemingly quite willing to give UBL credit for it just because he asks for it.

QUOTE (SockMe @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 04:31 PM) are u stupid? They got Brian Anderson! lol IMO, that's exactly the kind of guy the Royals ought to be acquiring and giving PT to. If they bust, what have they lost? The question is...what are they going to do around them? Think about the 2008 Rays...yeah, they had guys like Longoria that they developed, but they also had guys like Navarro, Pena, etc., who were castoffs from other teams that they picked up and turned into something useful by giving them playing time.

QUOTE (SockMe @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) so they pretty much signed Matthews for 2mil? Thats a very nice pick up for them Well, they had to give up a supposedly decent receiver.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 03:57 PM) The royals epic failed this year in terms of acquiring anything I could understand piling up failed prospects to try to give them a 2nd shot and maybe steal some on development. I could understand signing guys who are coming off injuries or who are low value guys, maybe winning a few games, and being ready to trade them for youth midseason. I'm not quite sure why you'd sign/trade for guys like Anderson and Fields, and then simultaneously sign guys like Ankiel to block those guys.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 04:12 PM) Wow. Jets really lookin' good. I really haven't felt like the Jets have looked that good. The Colts secondary has been burned 2x that they shouldn't have, and I'm really not certain WTF was with the QB sneak from the 1 by the Colts.

Finally, a missed FG by the Jets rather than against them! Manning usually picks up the Blitz better than this.

Vikings fly in the real Pants on the Ground guy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) That sounds remarkably like the argument being made against card check. Except for where all the money sits.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 02:01 PM) Comedy Central could trek out a nightly line up of Daily SHow, Colbert Report, Conan? That would be epic. I'd hope they'd start it at 10 EST. I'm having enough trouble catching TDS/TCR as it is now that they're only on at 11 for me. They'd also have to re-start the Huckabrawl.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) I dont get it??? are you saying hes got a bad temper? Jim Jones.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 07:07 PM) The coincedence of the graph jumping after '89 is certainly noticeable. You could also note that China's policy of opening up economically began in 1988 after Deng Xiaoping's last quasi-election, and a serious push in 1992 as the leadership changed. That's a classic "correlation does not imply causation" deal.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) Again, we seem to have a huge cheering section for abortion. You argued that it's impossible to believe that parents don't understand they have options other than abortion. I pointed out that the law in this country has been moving towards acting like some combination of exactly that, and adding in an opportunity for intimidation. Your interpretation of this is that it's cheering in favor of it? Therefore, not thinking that it's a good thing for people to be lectured against it is a cheering section in favor of it?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Just don't put him in charge of the Gatorade bucket... Maybe we can get the Twins to sign him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 12:50 PM) Ozzie: "Well, if I want one guy out there, I want (Thome). I already talk to Kenny about that." Really? That's the first non-negative sounding thing we've heard from him.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) It never happened nor was it ever a thought, because the U.S. businessman and consumer needs Chinese slave labor too much. Democracy when it suits us financially. In 1989, the U.S. Businessman had very limited ties with the Chinese labor market. THat was a development mainly of the 1990s and 2000's.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 06:36 PM) If Ozzie is all fired up about playing the flexibility and small ball game... then why not sign Orlando Hudson to be DH? If you're not going to at power to the lineup Ozzie/Kenny, why not add a decent table-setter who can also be used in the field on occasion? And he wouldn't add dead weight to the roster, because he would take Nix's spot, which would allow us to carry an extra pitcher. Just a thought. I thought of that one too. I'd go for it. He's still nearly an .800 OPS, he still gives us a chance to have some balance from the LH side, and he also can add in some infield defense as well, all of which would be pluses.

You can get some heat just by adding some actual spiced peppers. Dice up a jalapeno. Most of the heat is in the seeds.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 05:33 PM) I think you have the causality backwards. Bernanke's school of thought is losing out with ObamaCo, and Volcker is coming into vogue. And obviously, Volcker's plan is less happy for Wall Street (but some of it is also probably necessary). Really, there's a link y'all aren't looking at; Massachusetts. People are more angry at Wall Street than anywhere else right now. They'd rather have Lieberman and Nelson running those things than the people currently on Wall Street. The Pres and Congress looked the other way the last 12 months while Geithner, Summers, and Bernanke on got everything they wanted, and the end result is 10%+ unemployment, Wall Street Bonuses large enough to pay for the whole health care bill, a Federal Reserve that thinks it needs to fight inflation when unemployment is at 10%, and Republicans winning elections in Massachusetts. That last one...wake-up call for these guys.
