WTF? Now I have to oppose the damn thing. Kap, you were right all along.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 06:29 PM) If Polanco is a FA, the Sox should go after him hard. That guy makes pitchers work hard and rarely strikes out. Uh oh! Linebrink in with only an 8 run lead. No need for an infielder. None at all. Have more than we can use.

Christ Almighty, 8-0 over Jackson? 8 IP for Peavy? yeesh.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 02:58 PM) If anyone cares, the Bulls first preseason game kicks off tonight. Good chance to take a look at the rooks and to see how much Rose and the others have improved, and hopefully see Deng look okay. Deng already skipped at least 1 practice this week. He's not 100% yet. Hopefully 1 more month does it, but I'm alreday concerned.

Now you're getting somewhere.

I have no idea what letter y'all were typing on.

God I'm slow today. I'm going back to typing.

Oh how I loved that stadium proposal. You don't recall the big screams of joy because there weren't any. That was sarcasm.

The Guardian pegs the amount spent by the health care industry so far lobbying against Health Care Reform as $380 million.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) This is starting to piss me off actually, the more comments I read cheering Obama's failure (and it exists only in their minds, I don't see how a head of state trying to use influence against other heads of state to get something for America is a bad thing) the more I realize they're willing to take it a step farther than just dissing Obama, they're dissing Chicago, and America. They're so hung up on the fact that something happened that didn't make him look good that they don't even realize it wasn't a good thing for the country, using their own criteria, that they will openly mock the effort or the concept. Furthermore this talk about "the world" getting tired of Obama's ego makes no sense at all to anyone that reads non-American, non-English media and knows what the various opinions actually are. I'm sure you remember how in 2005 New York's 2012 bid was defeated and the Democrats stood up and cheered.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 11:55 AM) so one time in a 6 year career he got 6 hrs away and that makes him a promising 30/30 player?? Also gotta keep in mind which park he was hitting in. Toronto just isn't the Cell.

I'd take him at his average happily, given how weak we've been at that position the last few years. You'd get no complaints from me. The thing I have in the back of my mind gnawing at me though is how bad he's been this year and the fact that he's been on a slow downward trend for 2 years now. Really have to hope he turns that around.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 01:13 PM) Looks like Perry doesn't want it to come out that he authorized the killing of an innocent man. The new guy that Perry put in charge of that committee/investigation hadn't even heard of the position until it was offered to him. And he's considered one of the most conservative, hard-line prosecutors in Texas. I know it's Republican politics, but I really hope Hutchinson makes an issue of this. It's just inhuman.

Weekly Standard brags and then deletes post saying that their office erupted in cheers when Chicago lost.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 11:36 AM) He's always had potential for that, that's why he was drafted where he was and that's why he was given the extension he was. It's not that just some few Sox fans like him, it's that all of baseball sees him as a player with that kind of ability. Where the opinions differ is whether or not he'll play up to his potential and why. If he does, we're in great shape. If he doesn't...we're in real trouble.

QUOTE (G&T @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 10:12 AM) The question isn't fair. We don't go to the moon without a certain political environment (Cold War). Without propaganda, and the lack of information to know better (internet), none of the great American acts of unity happen. The politics of today aren't significantly different than before, the difference is that we are FAR more informed and don't always know what to do with that information. There are a number of ways that the politics of today are far different. You don't have things like the crossover votes that you used to; racist southern democrats who vote with the Republicans, educated northern republicans who vote with the Dems on issues. The parties have become much stronger, and polling-based indices of ideological rigidity reflect the same trend; it actually appears that this is a much more partisan era than it was 30 years ago. There is also vastly, VASTLY more money underlying and running the system today. Even less than the moon, could you imagine the response if someone proposed creating something like the EPA today?

Hairballs too.

And we're off again.

When was Kenny that pissed at Carlos?
