i got an idea, how about cutting pork instead of raising taxes? that 21 billion the Dems just tried to tack on would be a nice start.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 01:23 PM) Yep, that is how the GOP wants people to think of Liberals. You've learned the lesson well. actually, i was reciting from my Sociology courses.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 10:35 AM) Maybe the real problem is more that at the top, we don't live up to our values anymore. Torture, rendition, indefinite detention without charge, going to war under false pretense. . . all seem less than the American ideal. but FlaSoxxJIm, i thought the United States was an immoral country founded by white male oppressors? every move we have made throughout history has been evil. we are the cause of all the worlds problems.

nice, got all 4 now need a Ohio State vs UCLA final UCLA champ

I think Cook is worse. Granted i don't think Mencia is funny either, but Cook is unwatchable. not funny, ever.

it's a tough call worse comedian: Dane Cook, or Menstealia?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 10:35 PM) Nope, but he would agree with y'all, he sounds like y'all, etc. But if it makes you happy Goracle!! Hypocrite!! Evil"" pfft

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 05:56 PM) The thing is loaded to the brim. It's the only way Pelosi could pass the bill, not that that's an excuse. There's about $20 billion in hurricane relief (covering mainly "livestock" I believe). $35 mil for NASA, about $4 billion in farm subsidies covering everything from spinach to citrus and milk (actually, both milk and OJ prices have shot up 25% around here lately, some subsidies might be nice ) about $3 billion for Hurricane Recover ($1.9 billion for levee reconstruction), and so on. Link 1. Link 2. 21 billion in unrelated spending tacked on.

i think Kruk is a dumbass. but you are correct, i was using his image to discredit baseball pundits who disagree with me. I remember when ESPN thought the 2004 Cubs had one of the "TOP 5 pitching staffs of all-time". i pretty much stopped paying attention to what they said after that.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 05:31 PM) The fact that most baseball pundits echoed Gillick's sentiments on the Garcia deal does seem to lend some credence to Flash's assessment however. maybe or maybe not

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 05:24 PM) No, Philadelphia expressing shock in our asking price proves we could have asked for more. Really, would it have been difficult to ask for one more piece? Something in addition to Floyd/Gonzalez; perhaps a low A pitching prospect? I think they may have been playing the media. if they were really that shocked, they don't know what they're doing and KW should have totally screwed them. but i don't think that is the case, i think it is more of a public relations thing to say "check it out, Phillly fans, i just made a great deal".

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 05:11 PM) If Philadelphia themselves were shocked our asking price was low.....then it obviously was too low. Chicago was suprised Philly would give up one of their top pitching prospects for a washed up starter who has lost 8 mph off his fastball . What , Because Philly thought they made a good deal that automatically means they did? ok, you're right. Garcia is gonna do great over there.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 05:04 PM) And what does it say when Philadelphia was shocked with the package we asked for -- thinking it was initially a salary dump? that they thought Garcia was worth more than he actually was? they might have been the only team willing to deal a good prospect for Garcia.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 04:56 PM) Nah. I think fathom's right. Garcia was worth more than Floyd + Gio. Philly knows it, and we should know it, especially after watching Floyd this spring. well, maybe we could have got more for Garcia... but i think Kenny was looking for young pitchers in return, thats not something many teams give up easily.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 04:53 PM) Is the field literally underwater? Are players floating away and being removed on stretchers as they hurt themself? that is EXACTLY whats happening

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 04:49 PM) It boggles my mind how much better the package the Rockies got for Jennings was compared to what we got for Garcia. We did get Floyd and Gio for Garcia. i think Freddy is about done as a MLB pitcher, seems like a good trade to me.

i wonder if Farmer said before the pitch, "a slam here gives Colorado a 3 run lead"

grand slam 2-5 rockies

QUOTE(Wanne @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) My money is on that Tracey will face the Sox at some point this season and the first batter he faces he drills. Then turns to Ozzie with a huge grin.

haha, nice throw to home.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 04:17 PM) A Mackowiak/Ozuna platoon in LF looks sooo good right now. Aside from the obvious defensive problems that come with putting Pablo in the outfield. i was thinking the same thing QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 04:16 PM) I honestly believe he isn't that fast. There's no doubt that Ozuna is the fastest player on the team, and Mackowiak is just as fast as Pods is. ozuna has always been faster than pods, but in 05' podsednik got down the line very quickly. now he seems very slow.

podsednik looks so slow

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 03:57 PM) From the first batter it appears he has lost control and velocity. It could get ugly very quick. inning over
