QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 07:20 AM) So, Hillary Clinton has a new ad campaign out, hitting Obama directly on two subjects. What I find hilarious is, Clinton's approach to the two subjects is laughably useless. Clinton wants a 90 day moratorium on foreclosures, and she wants a brief "tax holiday" on gas taxes. Both of these measures are of course exactly the kind of useless, temporary fixes that will make matters worse later. They are pure political B.S. Anyway, the ad hits Obama because he doesn't support either one. For reference, Obama prefers a "windfall tax" on oil companies instead, with the monies going towards alternative fuel research (I'd rather see them just stop giving the companies welfare, but this is as close to that as is politically palatable), and on mortgages, favors an array of other alternatives. McCain also favors the tax holiday, along with Clinton. Here is the article. This was an interesting read regarding the tax holiday... Read the rest of the article

So how awesome is GTA4? I'm seriously considering getting a PS3 for this game and MGS4.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) Garland's been garbage as well. Well at least the Angels have a crappy player on the field once every 5 days. Cabrera is out there every day for us.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:03 PM) Have to disagree. Besides, JG has been awful. He's hitting .217 as our #2 hitter and he must be leading the team with runners left on.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:02 PM) I'm putting him on IGNORE Ditto

The OCab trade looks terrible as of now. He's been a no show.

If Cabrera doesn't get a hit here I will never talk to him again.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:51 PM) Thornton gets 4 outs in one inning. I think that ties a record. That just made me think....can a team have an infinite number of outs in an inning as long as someone Ks and gets to first on a WP? I figure if the bases get cleared later on (i.e, HR or runner scores on a WP or whatever) someone can K and run to 1st on a WP once again. Hypothetically couldn't this cycle repeat over and over again in an inning?

At this point I'd rather bat Crede 2nd over Cabrera.

Yikes. Our 1, 2, and 3 hitters hitting around a combined .220.

I know we've heard this before but apparently Obama has a lot of superdelegates waiting in the wings according to Senator McCaskill.

Per DCW Clinton's superdelegate lead is now under 20.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:42 PM) Has beaten. Its over. She's a dead candidate walking. I tend to agree but why doesn't the MSM lock onto that fact?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 01:35 PM) I disagree. I think the issue keeps coming up because Clinton, McCain, and the media keep bringing it up. And guess what? They will keep doing so regardless of this speech. It will eventually fade somewhat to the background, regardless of the speech. All the speech does, to me, is make it look like he's appeasing the masses. That may work a little bit, as I said, but ultimately I think its a waste. I'll give him and his campaign the benefit of the doubt. After all, he is leading right now and he's beating the big, bad, Clinton machine a.k.a. the 'inevitable' nominee.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 01:12 PM) So, here is the weird thing. For me, I was happy with the Philly speech - I think this is a more purely political move, and it bothers me. On the other hand, its probably what will get him more votes, so he's doing it. We would be getting Reverend Wright 24/7 if he Obama didn't do this today. The GOP has attack ads all over the place with Obama and Wright the centerpiece of the argument. This needed to be done.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) Thanks for taking it though!! No problem.

Obama finally rejects Reverend Wright.

Can I get those 10 minutes back?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 10:44 AM) Anyone ever see "Waiting"? I caught the tail end of it, and with the cast it looked like it might be funny. I recommend it to anyone that ever worked in a restaurant. The "Office Space" for servers.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 09:12 PM) Hey, here is an idea, smoke 2 less packs of cigarettes for a week and get off your ass and get a state ID. Maybe buy some shoes at Payless one time instead of the $300 Air Jordans and get an ID. I didn't realize that the only people who couldn't afford an ID were smokers with nice shoes.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) Cabrera flies to right on the 1st pitch. 2 dead for Thome. Is it me or is Cabrera barely a notch above Uribe at the plate?

I like the team my Raiders are building. A lot of good, young talent.

Top Clinton donors starting to donate to Obama.
