QUOTE(Soxy @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 10:11 AM) And they shall know we are Christians by our love. . . Thank you for saying that. That is the message that gets lost in all of this. If any Christians read the words of Jesus Christ, THAT is the message right there. When they asked Jesus what the most important thing was, after love your God, it was love one another as I have loved you. If you live by that right there, none of the rest of that crap matters. For many it is the hardest tenet to live by, but it is clearly the most important. If you follow it, the rest of the noise wouldn't be happening.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) Are you serious...??? They have to file 15 (or so) different returns..?? That can't be... Unless the state they live in has a reciprocal agreement with where they work (ie play the games) they have a to file a return for each state. I have to file returns in Indiana and Illinois because they don't have reciprocity. Believe me, it sucks. I am sure most of them have accountants that worry about that crap though.

Oh yeah you think you all are funny now, but when Paul comes across the universe, looking for you all here there and everywhere, and then comes through the bathroom window with Maxwell's silver hammer to take out the fool on the hill, you'll be wishing you could get back to where you once belonged. Dig it?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) In an effort to avoid the NYT and all the Right sees as wrong with it, I'll add some material from the much more wingnut-friendly Washington Times. As contributer Hunter from the Dailykos says, "The Washington Times would generally rather print their papers on the desiccated skins of puppies than say something bad about a Republican, but they'll print a scoop when they see one." Relayed from AmeriBlog, it sounds like the President is starting to fray at the ends: So basically when we all joked about Cheney and company running the White House at the beginning, it was true?

QUOTE(indyman @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 04:30 PM) Whatever stat you compare it with, when he is batting with a man on first he's hitting over .300, slugging percentage over .500. That doesn't appear to be much of a distraction. I am glad to see you read anything that people replied to you with. First of all, the only time he has to worry about moving a runner over is when he has Pods on first base and no one out. If anyone else is on first base, in any other situation, the arguement is worthless. -He doesn't have to give himself up if the 8th or 9th hitter is on first base and there are outs. -He also doesn't have to worry about taking pitches if anyone else is on first base other than Podsednik, because he doesn't have to worry about them running. Odds are if there is a runner at first base when Iguchi is swinging, it was either when Pods was hurt, and couldn't steal, or it isn't Pods, which also negates your arguement (and leads back to the top bullet point) -You aren't factoring in ABs that Iguchi gives up when either Pods leads off with a double or he steals second, and then Iguchi gives up his AB by rolling a groundball to the right side of the infield. -You also aren't factoring in the hitting with two strikes factor, but I will throw them out there just to put a few more holes into your arguement. 0-2=.149/.227/.444 1-2=.105/.118/.222 2-2=.189/.230/.427 Picking one individual stat and isolating it at the expense of the big picture is cheating yourself.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 11:32 AM) Don't you have to pay according to the state you reside in...? Its according to where you work. So in reality you file a state income tax form for each state you play a game in.

QUOTE(indyman @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) The CW is Iguchi would be a much better hitter if he wasn't batting second. By batting second he is distracted, and has to give him self up all the time. What do the facts say? Batting Average with man on 1st: .326 (slugging .511) Batting Average with none on/none out: .205 It doesn't appear batting second hurts Iguchi. He actually maybe getting better pitches to hit. Why would you only look at those two specific sitations??? There are a bunch of different scenarios that Iguchi would either have to give himself up, or get to swing the bat. Your picks seems to be biased towards exactly what you want them to portray. The most important stat when looking at whether Tads is hurt by hitting second is to look at his average with two strikes. Because he sees a lot of fastballs, and has to take them to give Pods a chance to run, that is a much more vital stat. Look at how bad hits 0-2, 1-2, and 2-2 to get a more accurate view of the reality of hitting behind a base stealer, because odds are he will be taking strikes in order to give Pods a chance to steal. Also by focusing only on a runner at first base you are looking only at the runner who has not moved. How many times did Pods steal 2nd only to be moved over by Tads on a groudball to the right side? That wouldn't factor into your numbers either I gotta say if you are going to say we need to trade someone, you need to make a better case than this...

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) Yes but Lawton was such a bust that they had to trade him. Had he played well he wouldn't be traded. I'd be willing to bet that the two Lawton trades happened when his steroid test results leaked out. No evidence, just a feeling.

And in a related story, the sun is indeed "hot".

Good to see this is happening. I am especially happy that they added speed to the list.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) I think I've been called both of them. If they expanded the list to 20, I've probably been called all of those too.... And that's just by me... s*** where did my green keyboard go to???
