QUOTE (gatnom @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 04:31 PM) Well, how did you want me to interpret this: In the context of our argument, I assumed you meant that Vizquel's superior defense is what made this team start winning. If you meant something else, please do clarify. Honestly if you read that far into it, there isn't really much to discuss, because you are going to read what you want to out of it anyway.

The ads in the Donelley/Walorski race actually have me considering a third party or not punching anything in their race. It has been embarrassing.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 12:01 PM) I'm not gonna give a list. Cuz I'm really not trying to start anything. Buy how on earth is SS2K5 not in that group? Ace will admit Jeremy Reed should be workin' at a car wash before he ever said anything that could even be mistaken as negativity. Questioning chronic negativity is a bit different than being a homer. Seeing the same stuff repeated over and over until it becomes haters gospel on here is just nauseating.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 11:32 AM) Because the only reason we won all those games in a row was Vizquel, nothing else. So where did I say that it did?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 08:30 AM) Obviously you're going to get me to agree with that...but the key point I'm trying to make is...this opinion is pervasive on one side. It just never gets attention paid to it. We shouldn't be shocked that a "tea party" candidate holds views that line up with the people who put her on the ballot. I think a better analogy is that the view of the direction of this country is so bad right now that even that sounds more palatable than what we have now. It is viewed as the lesser of the evils.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 12:46 AM) I think we both know it's more complicated than that. Not really. We have a team full of ground ball pitchers. The difference in this team between Vizquel and Teahen was night and day.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 07:21 PM) Even better reply, just disregard statistics. Of course games need to be played, best way to prepare for it is to have a balance between scouting and statistical production. Morel has good to great defense and that shouldnt be discounted, but his bat could kill an already weak offense (lots of time left in the offseason to fix this still). If not, hello Mariners. I never disregarded his offense. I'm also not the one using only offensive stats to try to justify his worth, or lack there of.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 07:41 PM) no kidding...im not sure cruz would have caught it anyways....but its not disputable that the fan reaches out and interferes with cruzs attempt to make that catch If the player is over the fence, there is no protection for the OFer

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 06:49 PM) Okay Brian Anderson. Great reply. And until games start getting played on the computer, it is worth nothing.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 05:05 PM) In his dominant season, Morel had a 27:86 BB:K ratio, or .314 BB per K. That's pretty terrible. It still neglects the fact that Morel is already a plus defender at 3B for a team that thrives when it gets good defense.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 04:44 PM) True, but it tells alot about a player. Its like judging a player solely on his ERA.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 04:13 PM) It's a valid point, you said both player's dominated, which is simply not true. If you think an .850 OPS is dominating everything you said should be taken with a grain of salt. There is more to a player than his OPS.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 11, 2010 -> 10:59 AM) I am going with the Steelers QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 11, 2010 -> 04:10 PM) Steelers. I know its the easy pick, but Colt Mccoy vs The Steelers. Yikes. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 06:46 AM) It would be more interesting if I picked a different team than you two, but I don't think I can. Steelers QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Oct 17, 2010 -> 03:20 AM) I'll be the black sheep (hopefully not the goat) and go with the G-MEN. (NY Giants)

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 03:15 PM) So you think she would send someone to your house from a union and make you go vote for someone they wanted? I think she would encourage others to do it in the name of advancing her agenda, yes.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 03:04 PM) What do you think she meant in that video? If it were anyone else I would have bought in that it wasn't what she meant. Actually having seen her speak, and having heard what she spoke about in regards to labor and what they are "owed", I have not a single problem believing that she was talking about intimidation.

Thoughts? Its the Cubs, and he will be the "dumbest manager in baseball" very soon.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) If they liked him, you still think they'd atleast attend the sessions. Having a scout there to watch him throw costs pennies to a multi-multi-million dollar company. Why waste the money if you know someone else is going to bid more than you would ever spend?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) And that's not even true. I'm not even in the top 10 around here when it comes to negativity. But I can't stand homerism and the residue from 2005 has all but vanished. I don't like the current position or direction my favorite team is in. You didn't used to be, but you have shot up the prospect charts this year like Escobar out of nowhere.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 12:12 PM) She would fit right in with the SEIU. When she loses her seat, she should go try for a union job. Honestly, she is nuts IMO. I actually got drug to an actual socialist labor convention in Chicago a few years back and she was the keynote speaker. It doesn't surprise me at all that she would back those kind of tactics.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) Ok so I have this friend who recently joined a MLM that's tried to pitch it to me several times, with an unequivocal "no" each time that gets more emphatic. She invited me to a webinar and I don't bother saying no anymore, I just start lying, I told her I had something to do for work and she says "Well happy form filling. Don't want to upset massa by taking a 30 min break to see somethng that could change you and your family's life forever." Sigh... that's just plain being brainwashed and she's condescending when she talks to me. It's to the point where I can't bring up any topic that has anything to do with work, money, or bills because she'll change the subject to that again. There used to be a person underneath all that. Bring up Jim Jones and see how that goes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 08:10 AM) I thought the only people who did that had the last name "Daley". Machine politics at its finest.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 10:21 AM) But will it be a bigger or smaller mess than the NY gubernatorial election? Tough call.
