Apparent shoebombing actually just douchebag Diplo
QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 08:10 AM) No. Guy wants to kill people and get on TV for his cause. We respond by shooting down the plane, killing people and getting him on TV for his cause. He won't even need the bomb, only the threat of one. We'll provide the bomb at the end of a missle. No assembly required. s***ty, no win situation. I am glad I will never be in the position to make that call. Well it's not like they don't try to divert the plane first. They don't just go up there and shoot. I just don't understand what alternative you would pursue.

The positive of 2010
QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 10:30 AM) The Sox are 1-4 for the first time since 2006, when they finished 90-72. I'd love to see how this place reacted in 06. Read this: gamethread at 1-4 One of those threads claimed that Thornton was a BP machine. I'll just copy and paste this:

I feel bad for the pitching staff
I wouldn't feel so bad except I fear that when the offense starts hitting, the pitching will be struggling.

The dinosaur who threw out the first pitch...
watch this and see if you can figure it out: or maybe you should just look closer into those dino-legs in your pic.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:32 PM) I've got MLB Extra Innings here in California.... They aren't showing the game in the schedule? This is my first time subscribing to this service - what gives, why aren't they carrying the game?? They won't carry any Saturday afternoon games. The time slot is owned by Fox until 7pm eastern.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) Hopefully Sox fans will be smarter about it than just hating on Kotsay He is who he is, it's Ozzie who puts him in the lineup and Kenny for not giving Ozzie a better alternative KW gave him options and Oz said no.

Kotsay has the Erstad ground out to second down.

Need advice on missed midterm
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 02:27 PM) I hope you e-mailed your professor beforehand. This sounds more like "skipped class forgot midterm" than sickness. I'd have gone to the midterm come hell or high water! In my day, I would have shown up and told the prof in person that I couldn't take it. However, with people's fears about flu these days there isn't so much respect for showing up sick. Even in law school, if you email saying you are throwing up, they will take your word for it. They'd prefer a doctor's note, but they would rather not take a chance on spreading illness. Unfortunately, all profs are different.

New DH should be TCQ
On this team the DH should be Pierre. If Oz wants a prototypical leadoff hitter that's fine. But TCQ, Rios and Jones have to be in the lineup everyday to add power. And Pierre is the worst of those defenders. CQ can be in left if need be.

For any of you young-uns without a degree
QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:19 AM) I know, but then you don't make a ton of money. If that is the case, I would rather do something I truly have a passion for a career. Well, then I say thank you for not being one of the many who go to law school only to complain about lawyers. Unlike most, I actually enjoy legal work, and the money is secondary.

For any of you young-uns without a degree
QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 04:54 PM) Yeah no more law school. I would have gone to U. of Illinois, but I am working in a sports agency that is housed in a law firm right now and have realized that I don't want the life of lawyer no matter how good the paycheck. I would have never been able to work from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday thru Friday, then still go to work on many weekends. I realized that money would never be that important to me, so now trying to get into sports marketing. I can always marry rich! Ya know, there are plenty of legal job that don't require those hours. Specifically for the government.

Apparent shoebombing actually just douchebag Diplo
QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) Which shows the insanity of the situation. A guy threatens to blow up a plane with a bomb, we respond by shooting down the plane? No. Guy attempts to fly plane into buildings containing thousands of people, we respond by shooting down the plane.

Apparent shoebombing actually just douchebag Diplo
QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 08:01 AM) Yep, what was originally reported and thought was a shoe bombing was actually just the Qatar diplomat being a douchebag and smoking in the bathroom. And when asked by air marshals, he joked that he was lighting his shoe on fire. Funny, right? You know what makes it less funny...douchebag is a diplomat, and therefore has diplomatic immunity. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/...2.php?ref=fpblg http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2010...oke.php?ref=fpa Diplomatic immunity doesn't work that way. The diplomat has to be acting within the scope of his duties or in carrying out his official duties. He broke a federal law by smoking on an airplane and making whatever comments he made, which had nothing to do with his job. He probably won't be imprisoned, but he will likely be kicked out of the country.
