QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) It's diminutive, meant to exert his control over the booth and his partner. It's the same behavior that led him to mock Wimpy out of town. Besides that, they're grown men calling a major league baseball broadcast. I guess it's not enough for Hawk to sound like a loop. eh i don't know. if i were to bet... he's fine with it. i just don't see someone with an ego like Steve Stone letting that go if he was against it.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:16 PM) I can't believe Hawk calls Stone "Stoney Poney." So demeaning. why is it demeaning? seriously, i don't know.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:09 PM) Depends. How much of it was government contracts? That's socialism right, so it should count like a quadruple negative or something like that. balta, you do realize your sacred Democrats allow government 'stimulus' contracts to off-shore 100% of contract work? nice to know my taxes, designated for US job creation, go to pay for jobs in India.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 10:57 AM) I see that neither of you think that the judge getting threats is a bad thing. who gives a f***? you can get death threats for just about anything if there is enough exposure. this judge is just an attention whore.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) I don't know all the details cause all the f***ing morons around me got up to do the wave

mashing

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) Probably followed by people hating that there arent impact players in the minors, while clamoring to make big trades at the deadline by dealing top prospects.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 26, 2010 -> 05:51 PM) Can we start implementing IQ tests in elections? i support this. IQ test for voters too.

Mel Gibson is hilarious

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 26, 2010 -> 09:08 AM) I've seen most of these "the Middle Class has lost the class war" stats before but this one caught me by surprise. Part of me is amazed that it could possibly be that concentrated. Then I go back to the inequality graphs, and yeah, it makes sense. i read that article the other day. the US is really in s***ty shape. these jobs lost are never coming back. if anything, millions more will be lost in the next 5-10 years.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 07:25 PM) Since Ozzie took over as manager in 04 we have 2 division titles, a World Series Championship, and are currently leading the division as we speak.. 2004: 83-79 - 2nd 2005: 99-63 - Division Champs, World Series Champs 2006: 90-72 - 3rd 2007: 72-90 - 4th 2008: 89-74 - Division Champs 2009: 79-83 - 3rd 2010: 53-44 - Leading Division No one likes Kotsay being a major contributor to this team, but lets just say we win the division this season.. that's 3 division titles and a world series title in 7 seasons.. That also puts Ozzie at 565-505 career record with the Sox.. 12-4 in the postseason.. They don't need to be fired, but a collective agreement between them of the RIGHT moves to make would prolly help out a lot.. KW needs to just man up and do what he thinks is best for the club instead of submitting to Ozzie.. ^^^

ugh

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) This is a short but extant blurb from today's MTP transcript. It's at least a "Mention". LOL i do remember that now. it was, literally, like 15 seconds. haha

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) So wait, it wasn't covered on Fox? i watched NBC's "Meet the Press" and ABC's "This Week." No mention of it. I saw a little bit of FOX, but it was Howard Dean and Newt Gingrich arguing about tax cuts for the wealthy, and of course, Dean condemning the evil racist tea party

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 01:21 PM) Had a couple of articles on it in my newspaper the last couple days. should be front page. if this was a non-democrat, 24/7 news media frenzy. it was not even mentioned on a single news show this morning.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) Funny if you look up Rangel on Google News you get 1600 hits including stories on MSNBC, NPR, ABC News, CBS News, and if you look at CNN's Politics page, its the third video listed which isn't bad for a four day old story. But total blackout, so true. You are ignorant how the google search engine works. For example, 'Wonder Woman' gets 5,895 hits on google news. It does not show a priority of news coverage. There is a complete blackout on the network news. The story about that lady that got fired and 'everyone is totally racist' is dominating the Democrat controlled news rooms such as ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 05:02 PM) Anyway, for you folks, Democrat Charlie Rangel appears to be facing official ethics charges. media blackout on the story. haven't even seen it mentioned on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) So is anyone who votes Republican. don't you hold yourself to a higher standard? time to admit your heroes are nothing but corrupt shills

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) I'm not the one alleging that Obama sold out to BP for a pittance in campaign contributions. it's not an allegation, it's a fact. you are very selective with your outrage over corporate bribes. but you're one of those peculiar Democrat worshipers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) So you're going to pledge to turn in an empty ballot. are you?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 07:10 PM) So, will you therefore pledge to stop voting for people who have accepted huge sums of money from dirty energy companies? depends. if it means i have to vote for some douche that accepted huge amounts of bribe money from another industry, then no.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 06:10 PM) But Kap told me Obama was going to kill them all and was evil, and BP was going to be happy to make restitution and could be totally trusted. and i told you BP owns Obama. Obama is basically a BP employee. He has accepted the most bribe money by far.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 06:03 PM) I think Kap ought to be celebrating this act of civil disobedience.. haha. did you really think they were going to put 20 billion in there? a few million in bribes to congress will get them off the hook. much more cost effective.

Watching this game, considering the score, would have sucked no matter what having to listen to Mark Grace just makes it that much worse

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 08:35 PM) Revenue is about 2 trillion (lower than normal b/c of the recession). What percentage of that is $600k? exactly, so the IRS shouldn't care if someone forgets to pay a mere 600k. what I am trying to say is that these monetary issues are cumulative.
