QUOTE (juddling @ May 13, 2008 -> 03:54 PM) Maybe it's just me (but i doubt it) but i think Fallon is going to SUCK big-time. i totally agree.

haha AJ with another no slide at 2nd

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 12, 2008 -> 10:10 PM) I bet Paulie and Thome feel really good making out against some guy named Bootcheck.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 12, 2008 -> 10:05 PM) We were 20-17 after 37 games last year. great. this team is actually worse than last years

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2008 -> 10:52 PM) That slogan is already taken. By an anti-depressant.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 9, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) Oh boy. If this had been McCain, there would have been endless talk about senility setting in. The media would be passing out from the orgasms over the stories they could write! Instead, i guess we'll just hear that he was 'tired' or something along those lines. 57 states! NOT counting Alaska and Hawaii. wow, that is really bad.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2008 -> 01:21 PM) But...Fox News didn't exist when Bush 1 ran for office. The bad parts of the system were there (i.e. the Willie Horton ad, etc.) but they hadn't been blown out of proportion by the 24 hour networks like they have now. I doubt Bush 1 lost the election because he threw up on Japan's Prime Minister, but now whether or not you're good at bowling or whether or not you drink OJ or coffee with breakfast at a diner determines whether or not Americans will like you for some reason. the MSM was brutal towards Bush I. They even dropped a 'scandal' on him 4 days before an election to help out Clinton. Also, the economic boom had began, as there were large economic gains beginning which the MSM ignored. But yea, I guess the media has an evening factor in the pro-GOP FOX news. And, yes, the MSM totally played up him being sick in Japan. The NY Times and everyone else in the media were in a frenzy. They claimed it showed he shouldn't be president. Time magazine called him a wimp on their cover, which they now acknowledge was a poor journalistic move. So bs journalism has been around way before FOX news. Now there are right wing crappy journalists on tv, not just left wing crappy journalists. Edit: This in no way is an attempt to defend FOX news and their 24-7 Rev Wright fest. They are just as bad as the left wing media they trash so much on air. Oh, and the far right wing started attacking Bush I because they didn't like how he worked on the budget with Democrats. A budget which many economists attribute to around 60% of the budget surplus under Clinton. Sometimes being a moderate, competent president, gets you no where.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 8, 2008 -> 09:16 AM) Well first, I think the candidates we had in this election cycle (and still have) are higher quality then we've had since Reagan. Just my .02. G. Bush I was actually a pretty good candidate...but I suppose he didn't campaign well, so maybe not a good candidate. He was a good president as far as I'm concerned (way better than Bush II)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2008 -> 10:06 PM) Funny you should mention that. The gated communities are actually now the latest sign of progress in Baghdad! that and for Obama spiritual advisors ! can we all just agree that everyone should live in a gated community? it keeps unsavory characters out of view.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:33 PM) Nothing reminds me more of freedom than living in a gated community. that and flag pin lapels.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:08 PM) I love the randomly thrown in insult at Obama supporters and presumably the candidate that seems totally out of place there. Anyway, the "Free State Project", another libertarian group, has been trying to do the same thing for a few years as well. Clearly, this means Obama sucks. I knew this post was coming. of course, you are all for trashing Ron Paul supporters. saying all Ron Paul supporters are crazy is fine. even though there are some who post here (not me, but I still don't think they need to be verbally attacked like that). yea so, some are starting a weird commune, this is nothing new and I could assess Obama supporters are crazy because some of them are in communes. of course that would be false as well, as many Obama supporters are very smart, well based individuals.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 7, 2008 -> 12:41 PM) Now it's official. Ron Paul supporters are crazy. haha that would suck living there but hippie liberals have been doing this for years, nothing new. a lot of whom are Obama supporters. go figure

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 6, 2008 -> 04:16 PM) Unweighed Exit Poll... Indiana Obama: 50.5% Clinton: 49.5% In PA, the vote ended up going 5 points MORE to clinton. So, even with that factored in, She only takes IN by 5. I think it will be Clinton by at least 5 in Indiana. I believe Huffingtonpost also predicted Obama to win PA too, and it was way off. The seem to cherry pick this stuff, not really a reputable source. Still no way she is making up the delegate count, which everyone knows. It will be rules fight for Florida and Michigan / super delegate battle. which is lame.

QUOTE (Linnwood @ May 6, 2008 -> 03:30 PM) Too bad he can't get any run support. yesterday was just the kind of pitching performance the Sox needed to get out of this slump. too bad the White Sox suck at hitting.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 4, 2008 -> 04:36 PM) BTW, unless you want to live in a country that only the poorest among us can afford to pay for, we will always have the wealthier people, those with greater resources, paying more in taxes. So that redistribution comment, while a nice sound bite, doesn't work in reality. good, you finally agree with me that rich people are paying the most taxes. and it is nice to see someone being consistent on something like this. you think a rich liberal institution should pay out loot. you think a rich conservative one should pay out loot.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 4, 2008 -> 09:09 AM) Terrible idea. why? take from the rich and give to the poor. why do you want tax breaks for the wealthy, northsidesox72?

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 4, 2008 -> 12:37 AM) If they get away with this, will they stop at college endowments? What about groups like the Carnegoe Foundation or the Ford Foundation? I didn't see numbers for Carnegie, but Ford's endowment fund was at over $12 billion. That would be $ 120 million per year in 'taxes', just from them. Politicians of all stripes, once this door is open, would just wet themselves coming up with news social programs or tanks to spend this new money on. i only like the idea because it shows these liberal goofs how bad all their socialist and wealth redistribution schemes are. obviously i'm not for the government just grabbing loot out of peoples savings accounts.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 3, 2008 -> 03:33 PM) Thinking heads tell me to only focus on on base % so I will ignore all other offensive stats. OBP and slugging are important stats. but BA and RBI is something that seems to get overlooked a lot around here.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 3, 2008 -> 02:19 PM) 7th in the AL in runs scored 9th in the AL with OBP, Last in BA with .237 Last in Hits 11th in doubles 13th in triples 1st in homers though. PFB's rant now is that firing Greg Walker might make it worse because they like him. Worse that the worst offense in the AL for over a year in a half? Really?

Oh i like this idea it's funny how the ultra-liberal places whom claim that wealth redistribution and massive tax rates for everyone should they themselves be heavily taxes. typical though, when they need to pay, 'it's uncalled for' and 'unfair'. but they sure as hell want to spend everyone else money for them.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2008 -> 01:53 PM) he's likely to be looking at a .230 average oh, well then he should fit right in perfectly with the rest of the low BA lineup

this team is playing horribly and yes, Dotel is not very good
