QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 03:52 PM) the blackout looks pretty good again... though, i think they should have held onto it for BIG games.. elimination games and such. Huh? They've done it twice now. Both BIG elimination games.

What did he throw, 3 pitches that inning. Wtf

Hell yeah!!!

Phew!

yay

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 03:36 PM) Do you think white towels can bother outfielders? Or is it no big deal on fly balls? no

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) I think it's funny that Joe Maddon is b****ing about our grounds crew giving us a homefield advantage...you didn't hear Ozzie crying about playing in a s***ty dome... I really do hate Joe Maddon. I think he's a prick, and supposedly the feeling is mutual around the league. Didn't sound like b****ing to me. He gave a matter-of-fact response to a question.

Who the heck is the guy in the TBS studio that's making it obvious he wants the Rays to win? Said he hopes Garza can get it up to 97 and would like to see Pena have success against Danks.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) This rollingstone McCain piece is...reaaaally, Well...if you have the time. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/233..._maverick/print Good stuff. Thanks for the link.

QUOTE (Pods70Rowand33 @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 12:12 PM) anyone hear anything about the lineup for today yet? Sunday lineup. Toby Hall, Fields, Wise, etc.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 12:08 PM) John McCain's brother Joe: Northern VA is "Communist Country" Ah yes. The party of inclusiveness. You don't agree with us you're a communist. I could have sworn their new message was to reach across aisles. They must have meant their own aisles.

I feel very confident about today.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 08:56 AM) Now remember: John McCain Said his campaign would NEVER attack Obama patriotism Americans don't care what McCain offers to help them in these dire times. All they care about is that McCain is not Muslim and wears flag pins. He knows people don't care about actual issues as demonstrated by his current ad campaign (100% negative).

Kind of sad that as of 8am this morning we do not have a sellout for a playoff game. What is this Atlanta?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 01:30 PM) Well, without regards to naming names, you're exactly right - in so many ways. I understand your point but with regards to Obama it's pretty obvious he is a highly intelligent individual. You may not agree with his positions or think he's lacking in some areas of experience but Palin is literally leaps and bounds above her head (edit: I seem to make up knew sayings by the day - LOL ). She can't even answer basic questions from Katie Couric. Let me repeat that. Katie Couric.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 09:15 AM) Probably not. By the way, your sig is great. When Palin did that in the debate I almost spit out my drink. What have we come to that people actually like the idea of someone who thinks that cute winks and exaggerated country bumpkinisms are appropriate for a national VP debate? I'm just amazed at how low the expectations have become for so many people in this country. Not completely falling on your face is good enough. There's no need for exceptionalism (is that even a word?).

Does this really need a separate thread?

One game at a time. Win tomorrow before you worry about the games after that.

It would be nice to see a little fire from our team. And if the umps are awful again it would be nice to see Ozzie get off the bench for once.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 08:05 PM) That team hit 200 home runs and scored a high % of their runs through the home run. The whole Pods thing was mostly an illusion. We were able to manufacture runs a lot easier than we do now. And our pitching and defense was much better.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 08:05 PM) I'm hoping that was sarcasm. I'd be ecstatic if that happened.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 08:03 PM) I'd respect them more if the people who didn't know they had a team stayed home yes. And f*** any fans that have to manufacture noise because they have never had anything to clap for in their life. Oh GMAB. You guys are complaining about the dumbest things now.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 08:02 PM) KW already said that he is going to build this around the home run because of the park. You might see a player change, but the hacker philosopy will always be here until he isnt, or he figures it out. So the formula he used when his team won it all wasn't good enough?

What's with the hatred to Rays fans? Would you respect them more if they stayed home?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 07:59 PM) I don't care about the 29 other teams, I'm talking about this team. Was just saying that every team needs bullpen help and another starter...every year. You weren't stating anything new.
