E5, 1-0 TX. No love for Floyd on D.

Bourbon if fun to watch run.

And you can cancel the post game show!

Kotsay is dealing with a sore tooth, and has already been to the dentist today.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) DJ to Farmer as they went to commercial "Step off. Get off me!" Its been a fun couple of innings between these two. I can't tell if DJ is messing with him, or they are pissed at each other.

Nice inning for Gavin.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:30 PM) Rios and Andruw both were last out of the inning IIRC, I know Rios was for sure. And Rios hit his when the Sox were down. Its fine though, your definitions of bad and great can vary as much as you would like them to Your posts would hold a lot more weight if you threw in some irrelevant players from the 80's to make your "point".

DJ to Farmer "You wore the #22 four or five decades before I did..."

The winds have been crazy the last couple of days. I am shocked that no one had dropped anything yet.

LMAO at Dj and Farmers made for TV talk...

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 11:48 AM) We're not allowed to travel to Cuba, import items from Cuba, etc. But we can go to China and do business with China. Both are communist countries. Why the difference? People (kids and adults) flee Mexico daily because of the oppressive government and poverty in that country. They come to the U.S. seeking refuge and opportunity. But we want to turn them away. Are you really telling me the governments in Mexico and Cuba are similar?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 11:47 AM) It might stem from the way their fans act. They seem to have a higher than normal percentage of asshole fans. See; Thome's return. I've been to a lot of Sox games, and the worst fans to be around when they come to town are NY, Boston, and Cleveland. Don't forget Philly.

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 11:34 AM) I'm not going to start a new thread, but what would you do right now if you were KW? I wouldn't do anything until after this road trip and maybe into the next home stand. If the Sox are swept during this road trip and lose 2 of 3 to KC, I'd have to do something. But would firing Ozzie be the right move? Who would step in? Would you start shopping your players? You aren't going to be able to make a real move until another month or so. Teams just don't deal players of merit right now.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) If the U.S. has such a problem with communism, why do we do so much business with China? Pretty good article about why Obama shouldn't get involved in the immigration issue. Funny that McCain has changed his tune so drastically in an election year. http://news.yahoo.com/s/dailybeast/2010042...10_bushwasright So where is the part about a kid fleeing China and a family trying to keep them hear to keep them out of the grasps of the government?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 11:30 AM) So we're still cool with Cuban refugees, then? That's up to you it sounds like. I was just correctly a falsehood.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 09:44 AM) I'm not sure why Cleveland would be that high. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why we're so damn high. The Sox at least have a rival and some polarizing figures here. Most casual fans couldn't even name a player from Cleveland. That is odd.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 11:04 AM) I agree. Montreal has been a nice story but Pittsburgh is the most complete team in the league. Beating Washington was great for Montreal but the Caps are the Sharks of the East. Plus I dont see Montreal as a physical team so Pittsburgh shouldnt have much wear and tear. Boston and Philly will probably beat the s*** out of each other for 6-7 games and that will take a huge toll on either of those teams hoping to upset the Penguins. All the Pens have to do is control the tempo. This series will be over in 4 or 5 games.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 11:14 AM) Obama: “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money” Shareposted at 8:48 am on April 29, 2010 by Ed Morrissey Via News alert and Breitbart TV, consider this Share the Wealth 2010. Barack Obama went off the TelePrompter in his speech to a Quincy, Illinois audience about Wall Street reform. After saying that Democrats don’t begrudge success that’s “fairly earned,” Obama then ad-libs — and reveals more about himself than he probably wanted: We’re not, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy. Compare that to his remarks as prepared for delivery: Now, we’re not doing this to punish these firms or begrudge success that’s fairly earned. We don’t want to stop them from fulfilling their responsibility to help grow our economy. He should have stuck with the TelePrompter. The President doesn’t get to decide when people have “made enough money.” In fact, as the radio host notes, that’s a statist point of view. Furthermore, the responsibility of an entrepreneur isn’t to “grow our economy,” core or otherwise. It’s to grow his own economy. In a properly regulated capitalist system, the natural tension of self-interests create economic growth through innovation and efficient use of capital and resources. Put simply, a free people work for themselves, not for the government. Barack Obama seems to have a problem understanding that. Which is funny coming from a guy who has made millions himself, and continues to do so. If you wonder where people start to get the ideas to throw around words like socialism and communism, it is exactly stuff like this. Like it or not, NO ONE has a RESPONSIBILITY to grow the economy. That is not anywhere to be found in our constitution. In fact quite the opposite. The rights of the individual are stressed over and over and over again.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 10:49 AM) I've heard him say enough times that he doesn't. His actions have spoken quite differently.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 09:34 AM) And yet...only 1 of those 3 groups wound up wealthier for it. You are right about the largest ever expansion of the federal government and its regulating bodies.
