QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 01:37 AM) This thread served as bad luck. We've dropped another game to them in the loss column since it was started and they haven't lost since it was started. I'm still trying to figure out how one season can go down the drain on one roadtrip. I hope we have no obvious losing roadtrips like that 10 gamer next year. It was patently unfair. No team in the Central is going to win at NY and boston that time of year and making us go to Minnie added insult to injury. Its all the threads fault.

THAT'S THE FACTS, JACK!!!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 05:54 PM) Buehrle has always held runners close. It's very rare when players steal against him, simply because of how good his pickoff move is and his quick delivery to the plate. You literally have to wait for him to commit towards home before you can take off, and that doesn't give you any time at all to get to 2nd. To steal off of MB, you have to go off of first move and hope he throws home.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 11:41 PM) I hate Tom Brady. Punkasshole. I was so rooting for the Bills. The Pats are the Yankees of the NFL. God I hate them.

Geesh, you couldn't have given it to the Tigers anymore easily between the injuries to the Twins and the Sox s***ty play.

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 11:33 PM) Slower than everyone but Canada. If we have the best health-care in the world, why is our mortality amenable to healthcare so high? Also, the argument isn't over whether or not the actual health care is the problem. We certainly have excellent doctors and treatment facilities. The problem is that we pay more than anyone else in the world and 50 million of our citizens are without insurance, effectively meaning they are barred from anything but emergency services. It is an issue of access and affordability not quality of care. That 50,000,000 number is crap. Also the idea that you could pile 50 million people into the system and people would somehow all get the "access" that you are infering.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 10:11 PM) That cuts both ways, kap, with the horror stories of ZOMG! SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! in Europe and Canada. Why haven't countries with actual single-payer systems seen the disappearance of private health care? Don't you think there's a big enough political opposition that there will always be a market for private insurance in this country? And yeah, surprise, Obama isn't cramming a super Marxism policy down our throats like conservatives b****ed about for months now. The democrats aren't nearly as cohesive as the republicans and they love kowtowing to the mythical middle and cowering at the first signs of opposition. These health care proposals without a government option or co-op are not liberal in any way, yet its still portrayed as ZOMG! SOCIALISM! Because the governmental officials still need somewhere decent to get their health care in those countries...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 09:59 PM) I just wish Xe (Blackwater) got the same treatment for killing people. Or the banks got the same treatment for trying to destroy the world. Then again if we fought wars to win, instead of for the press, like we should, there would be no need for groups to operate outside of the functions of the US government.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 07:51 AM) Meh, it came on my new computer and I havent really hated it yet. Same here. It works just fine for me, but I haven't used anything RAM heavy on it yet either. I am supposed to be getting an audio editing program soon for my new radio show, so that might change.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 03:40 PM) What makes this worse is these are the first two girls in Shipps entire life that he had dooped into liking him. Well the first ones without GHB.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 04:55 PM) You know I was thinking about this today. For all the whining about the "liberal media" conservatives have an awful lot of influence over it don't they? What influence. They get shown on TV, and then portrayed as wakkos. That is exactly the worst possible thing for them. Even if they don't they are immediately proceded by someone telling the audience why what they saw was just wrong.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 04:39 PM) Really NYT, you let the aluminum tubes stuff slide for years...and this is the fact-check you do give? This is the lame crap that the NYT will use to say that it is "objective". I wouldn't even quibble with calling 47%, "nearly 50%".

Come on, do you really expect me to believe that?

With the Sox not doing anything today, what are you thinking to get you through the day?

Another Seinfeld reference?

Yet again Ribbie stretches the rules for his own purposes...

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 11:40 AM) Briggs was a MLB in college I think. Please someone kill me though. It could be worse... You could be Shipps.

Excellent work Kap!

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 11:04 AM) on Saturday, I saw a bunch of those Tea Party people lining up on Randall Road in Geneva. (for those who don't know, Randall's a pretty busy 4-6 lane street) I slowed down, honked my horn and when the waived/looked at me, I flipped them a strong bird. YOU LIE!!!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 09:45 AM) Urlacher out for the season. Eh, I was wrong. Now it is a worst case scenario.

When you include the injuries, that game was pretty much a worst case scenario...

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 14, 2009 -> 08:58 AM) I say it's funny because it's obviously a disguise for being ultra-partisan. It's only an outrage if there's a "D" after the President's title. But I guess it works both ways. The same people who were saying the deficits were too big at $300 billion are now saying $2 trillion is OK, so yes, it works both ways.

The mystery of Peavy? How is a 30ish year old guy with a Cy Young a mystery? Its not like he is coming off of a Tommy John or something. He had an ankle injury and was hit by a line drive.
