Thats a tough left field out there. But either way, the ball was definitely fair and Blum was definitely safe. No injustice there.

PK and Timo both hit it pretty hard. Schillings not on top of his game, but these idiots at ESPN still claim that hes going to "strike fear in the hearts of batters in September." I really cant believe those guys.

Timo-Widger-Blum? Ugh. Anyone of those alone would be fine, but all together, what is Ozzie doing?

Ok, then, screw any consideration of ever visiting the Pitt. Ewww. :puke

Hmm, not as easy or desirable as I thought. Thanks for the info.

Ive been a northerner all my life, so Im not too familiar with that geography. But what about near major cities? El Paso and San Diego, in particular. At night couldnt they sneak across the border a few miles up from town and walk there by the next morning?

Every review Ive ever heard of Pittsburgh was rather unflattering. Youre the first Ive met to actually have liked that place. Which is it, s***hole or shan gri la?

I hate MTV too. So much worthless crap on that channel, its unbelievable. Its not that I dont enjoy a good party or that Im old, its just that its so dumb. Laguna Beach, for instance. A bunch of diva drama queens going about their pointless little lives and they get a TV show for that? Wheres my damn show? These people are just stupid, rich and spoiled. But Pimp My Ride is a good show. I remember one episode where this guy, a tutor for inner city kids, drove a piece of s*** and he lamented about how the dealers drove around in pimped out Escalades and stuff, which kind of influenced all the young ones the wrong way. The show has a good heart and a purpose, unlike a lot of the other crap.

There was a girl at my school who drove a 2004 Mercedes ML500. There was also a new Lexus, and at a school in a neighboring city, there was a Lambourghini. That kid told her dad to sell it because it wasnt the right color. The dad did so and bought the little brat a H1, a BMW convertible and a Mercedes sedan. And I swear to God I aint lying.

My parents bought me a Jetta and paid the insurance. The only thing they asked was that I get good grades. I took care of gas with my own money. I think it also depends on where you live. My plan is to own an apartment in Manhattan, so Im just gonna tell my kid touch luck, and give him some money for the subway. If he wants to take a roadtrip, within reason, he can take my car and Ill use public transportation.

I cant believe that. Unfortunately, Ive seen surveys that show that something like a third of all American teens cant find the Pacific Ocean on a map. I mean, how stupid do you have to be? It takes up like a third of the globe, including a border with one whole American coast. How can you not find that f***in thing?

Id rather be alive and s***ty than dead and good. Besides, I dont understand, other than trigger happy ranchers, whats down there thats so incredibly dangerous? The Rio Grande?

Would he really nominate someone with no experience to the top spot? To me, it seems more logical that Scalia gets the position.

Its true.

You cant criticize the great Jon Garland either.

You know, someone said Pods was overrated on another thread. Shouldnt we crackdown on him? I mean, hey, diverse opinions of popular players are not allowed, are they? Thats what this is. I revealed an obvious flaw of one of our popular pitchers and everybody freaked. Thats sad.

You layoff. Personal threats and sexual threats are what that mod condemns. Criticisms to the way a guy pitches are not condemned. If you dont like it, go get the mods. Since youre obviously right, I will be permanently banned, wont I?

And why would Jose get us more talent? Perhaps because hes a better pitcher? Could that be the case? Id say keep the better pitcher and trade the lesser one for lesser prospects. The Sox should be playing for now, not years in the future. Besides, I like proven goods. How many times has a future great turned into garbage or disappeared completely? Weve had plenty of those. Jose however, is a solid starter and hes proven himself.

Maybe you should take a look at my posts and point out where I threatened to kill or even hurt a player, made sexual innuendo about a player, or even was profane. I didnt call Garland a pussy (I used the traditional word, coward), I didnt call him a f** (that would have been uncalled for). I called him a coward because the way he goes at hitters. For the millionth time, he doesnt attack hitters! How is that wrong? You know what, dont bother to tell me. Go get the admins and if they think what I said about Garland is wrong, then they can ban me and that can be that. If not, how about you just shut it and stop being so sensitive?

Thanks again Steve. Im liking you more and more with every post I read.

Finally! Thank you, Steve, for standing up for me in this ridiculous feud. How sensitive can people get?

He does pitch without balls! How is that wrong? Garland is not a gutsy pitcher! Are you happy, is that politically correct and sensitive enough for you? This is pathetic. Dont be so damn sensitive.

One great outting and suddenly Jose is gone and BMac is guaranteed a spot in next years rotation? First, Orlando should be gone instead of Jose, and second, why dont we watch to see if BMac can keep this up? You guys sound like Cubs fans.

If I called him a coward for the sake of it, that would be small minded. But Im calling him one based on his approach to hitters. Are you going to tell me that JG is a gutsy pitcher? Hes not. I cant believe I even have to defend myself on this one.

Its not like I said Garland is a coward because he didnt kill me as I f***ed his mom. Thats a personal insult, but I didnt say that. I said Garland is a coward because he doesnt attack hitters. He is scared. The "without balls" comment is the same. They are criticisms of the way he plays the game. Talk about trying to restrict peoples speech. Isnt Saddam expecting you to write soon? Better get to it!
