QUOTE (spiffalicious @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) The score just said he is having surgery Monday to put a pin in his wrist. That's not good at all. That has recurring injury written all over it.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:08 PM) Bruce Levine confirms Quentin is out for the season. Damn. That hurts.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 11:45 AM) In case you haven't noticed he attacked the Democratic Presidential nominee on national TV the other day. Well when you get drummed from your own party, it tends to make you a little bitter. I'm sure you'd have nothing but flowers for Soxtalk if we banned you, you know what I mean?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 10:46 AM) the whole firing for "lack of support" is VERY bothersome to me. That's hard core Washington politics at it's best (well, worst). Dont be a decenter. Dont disagree. if you do... you;re gone. Joe Lieberman saids hi!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) This team was rolling before Crede came back, and then slowed as he adjusted, and now he's out. Him coming back and being thrown right into the lineup, which I complained about at the time, probably cost this team 3 games considering how it messed up the good vibes. I would call it as much of Crede coming back as CQ being hurt, and the pen sucking...

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) I come from a town that was roughly the same size as the one she was mayor of. I know the mayor of our town. To say that experience in any way qualifies her is ludicrous. Again, what Obama has done in his life has NOTHING to do with the fact that she was a pick that was made solely to pander to PUMAs. You can hardly say she was the best possible pick, or even in that group. None of that was a part of the arguement going on her.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) Must have been someone in the senate or something You are probably thinking of the former Governor, and now Senator, Evan Bayh.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 09:05 AM) Isn't the IN Governor endorsing Obama? Also I just don't buy into that poll crap...a few months ago I got randomly called and mostly answered pro Democrat. Since then I have been called from the same number like once a week. I don't know what service it was for but I just don't pick up anymore b/c I don�t want a 20 minute questioner. No he isn't.

Toronto swept us in 4 games earlier this year, and just put a hurtin on MN. I wouldn't count those games yet.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) That's the big difference though. The actual VP nominee was doing the belittling in front of an audience of millions. How can you compare that to what liberal bloggers are saying? Joe Biden can't call her by her title.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:44 AM) Palin said community organizers don't have "actual responsibilities." I don't recall the Democrats having said that with respect to small town mayors. What they have said is that those mayoral responsibilities don't necessarily prepare one to be president or VP. The same doubtless is true about organizers' responsibilites, but to say they don't have any to begin with is a HUGE difference. It was said in the usual cutesy doublespeak and and lack of respect of referring to Palin by a lesser title.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:43 AM) Who is "they"? Liberal bloggers? Everyone who can't bear to actually Gov Palin by her title.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:37 AM) 9ui11ani and Palin openly mocked community organizing in front of an audience of millions. What exactly did Obama or Biden say or do that was comparable in your eyes? They totally demeaned and put down the entire state of Alaska and all civic and elected officials in small towns across the USA. They basically said if you aren't in a big office, or in a big state, you aren't important. Having run for an small elected office, and being from a small state, it was pretty insulting to me. Its the same flyover mentality that the Dems have had for a long time.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:33 AM) How you can compare the 2 is perplexing to say the least. How you can't see the similarities is perplexing.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:27 AM) Most people aren't running for President or Vice President in this country. The belittling of community organizing was a slap in the face to thousands of people across the country. The questioning of Palin's experience was directly a reference to her as an individual. I forgot, she was the only mayor in the entire country... Seriously. They are both insults. They are both meant to belittle each other.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:15 AM) "My friends, if you find faults with our country, make it a better one. If you're disappointed with the mistakes of government, join its ranks and work to correct them. Enlist... Enlist in our Armed Forces. Become a teacher. Enter the ministry. Run for public office. Feed a hungry child. Teach an -- an illiterate adult to read. Comfort the afflicted. Defend the rights of the oppressed." Just don't become a community organizer after leaving college. My surrogates will mock you mercilessly. And what ever you do, don't run for mayor, or live in a small state.

Getting back to the attendence game, apparently Palin out rated Biden 37 million to 24 million. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080904/D93079DG4.html

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:00 AM) It also revved me up to do more volunteer work. I'm going to Indiana tomorrow to do some canvassing and whatever else they ask me to do. A lot of my friends and family are equally as excited to help out and donate to the Obama campaign. Its funny but after McCains speech last night, and watching AHB post, I am ready to give to the McCain camp. It would be my first donation ever.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 07:23 AM) That, and of course The Office. I told myself I wouldn't give Kath & Kim a shot, then I saw an extended scene where Selma Blaire and her boyfriend on the show are absolutely hilarious... so it MIGHT be another in the long line of entertaining Thursday night comedies for NBC. That show looked horrible through the previews.

I also forgot to mention, I really liked that he mentioned his respect and admiration for Obama, and how there is more that unites them than divides them.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 07:19 AM) Mocking community organizers was probably the stupidest mistake in Wednesday's speeches. And, sadly, it wasn't even a calculated risk ��it just never even dawned on the speechwriters that they would be belittling the hard work and passion of millions of "little people" by deriding community organizing as being a job with zero responsibility. They are rightly getting hit hard for it now by lots of service organizations on all sides of the political spectrum. That was a direct result of the Obama camp derisively referring to Palin over and over again as "mayor of a small town" versus governor. They were mocking her job and her responsibilities.
