And that last statement is probably as true as they come. We will never know.

I believe this picture saids it best...

What a maroon. Maybe if the offense would wake up and start hitting they wouldn't be 10 games out of first place???

And I don't doubt that happened. I am more talking about the climax part of it. The actual crash.

Except that the Yankees own the Twins, big time. To put it another way White Sox are to Oakland as Twins are to Yankees

But what I am saying is that I don't think the government would have told her it was shot down. They told her that Todd was a hero. That's why she believes that.

I wish. It was a forward I recieved. Feel free to spread it around!

Haven't had it... but that is a great folk song. And on that beer note, what is stopping you from making another Beer thread? In fact, do it!!!!

I don't think that is true. Remember who told the widow that her husband was a hero... the same people who would have ordered the plane shot down. I can't see them taking a civilian in on this type of conspiracy. I think she got the info and ran with it.

Outside of Nathan the bullpen is young and erratic.

Good to see the players giving more back to the community!!! Kudos guys Consider topic, pinned.

I love the inclusion of the boxes in threads.

I know, I know. Call me silly-but play along at home. You have just had possibly 10's of thousands of people killed by hijacked planes from an unknown source. You know you have another plane out there (at least) headed to an unknown target. The military has had plenty of time to track down this jet, and there are plenty of reports of military aircraft in the area around the time of the downing of this airliner. Do you let the plane crash somewhere and kill possibly thousands more people? Or do you sacrifice the people on board, for the greater good. In hindsight you definately shoot it down. But you have to think pre9-11 America. I am sure they thought that the idea of shooting innocent Americans out of the sky was so impalatable to the President and company that they could never admit to it-not knowing that it would suddenly become much more acceptible than the alternative. There are just so many wierd happenings surrounding that flight, and this makes total sense. Already the story about how the airliner got downed has completely changed from what they told us. And it isn't like historically this kind of thing hasn't happened before...

I believe about 90% that the millitary shot that plane down. After seeing what had happened and still thinking in a pre9-11 mentality that would try to protect the innocent at all costs, I really think they shot down flight 93, and then covered it up.

Glad to help out... Oh wait, I didn't do anything Nevermind.

CLOSE IT DOWN!!!! DAMN IT RICH THINK OF ALL THE MONEY YOU COULD MAKE YOUR BUDDIES BY REBUILDING WRIGLEY!!!

Espesially since all of the deals that KW has made make it about 99.5% certian that Magglio will not be a White Sox next year. He has already filled his spot in the OF and his salary slot. To me that saids it all.

Did I hear right that they found a third piece of concrete that had fallen?

I always see him at 87-88. So who knows.

Hmm, maybe we need to research Tex's IP...

Yeah, I just went and looked it up and doubebag is pretty much the exclusive domain of John Kerry. I looked through the first five pages and Mariotti is no where to be seen.

Hmm so your English isn't too much different from your espanol?
