QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 01:08 PM) It's really cool how he can actually use Koranic verses in an overseas policy speech, but yet, if anyone does that over here with regards to the Bible, they are outrightly dismissed as a "right wing lunatic" (read: liberal version of "evangelical") ... and it's funny how he can paraphrase the Bible in speeches over here, but he better not quote it, because some people might get offended. As a note: I don't care that he used Koranic verses, just pointing out the hypocritical elements of our friendly liberals in this country.

That just flat out sucked

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 01:05 PM) Can we get rid of Kenny and hire someone from the Twins organization. I could only imagine what they could do with a sizable payroll to work with. Yeah, those last few deals the Twins have made have just been awesome. Carlos Gomez and Delmon Young would fit right in on this team.

There's Whisler.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 12:49 PM) NO one really is today... Alexei's got a pair of hits.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 12:43 PM) well to be fair Anderson was the third ranked pitching prospect in the majors this past offseason by baseball america....so he's not a complete nobody...nonetheless its very frustrating to be getting shutout by rookie after rookie Beckham was murdering highly ranked pitching prospects a week ago.

Becks k's swinging.

Beckham making the pitcher work.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 12:32 PM) So with our current pace, are we gonna come anywhere near the MLB record for most times shutout? Dead ball era records can be hard to beat, but we might have a legit shot.

Fields just misses a double down the line, then follows it up with a weak popout. Ugh.

Shellacking. Can we get Beckham a hit before this mess ends?

Ed farmer just referenced "The wizard of oz character the straw man."

Come on Josh we need a hit from you.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 11:52 AM) I was thinking that he looked just like Anderson... strong throw, no aim. Doesn't Anderson already have a couple OF assists this year?

1-0 A's on a sacrifice fly by Suzuki.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 11:45 AM) Prediction: Alexei will be over .280 at the end of the June. I altered it a bit.

Beckham grounds in to 5-4 FC, beats the double play turn throw to 1st.

Earn the standing O kiddo.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 09:42 AM) So Jake Peavy got 2000 posts, and Beckham has less than 500? For shame. :0) Scientists track penguin poop from space.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 11:29 AM) Someone refresh my memory. When is Q scheduled to come back? Comes off the DL June 10.

Ok, anything but a GIDP here guys. Josh, keep up the hot hitting. Hell, show some motivation.

Ok, it'd be nice to get someone on base this inning.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 11:19 AM) Is this a serious post? Mets insist Beltran and Maine don't have Swine flu (actual headline/article).

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 11:16 AM) What debate... what do you mean? Apostasy is punishable by death in Islam. Whether it's universally accepted by Muslims I guess is debatable but that's not the point, it's prevalent enough that 2K5 is right that it's definitely a cultural taboo. And Christians aren't allowed to eat shellfish. It is an abomination to them to eat anything that comes from the sea. If you just glance through that Wikipedia page, yes, it is enforced, but it's also clearly the subject of one of those theological debates we keep saying that Islam actually needs to have.

"It's not the flu that's going around but a virus for the Sox." Does Ed Farmer know what the flu virus is?
