2-1. Homerun. Go America! Edit: Griffey finally made himself worth a darn for the first time since he left the Mariners.

Poor Puerto Rico.

2-0 Korea.

1-0 Korea, I hear. (My friend in Taiwan gets to watch it and is feeding me the events.)

QUOTE(bmags @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) AJ=good... man ... i hope the real season gets here faster cause these stories are getting kind of boring. You find these stories boring? Why are they boring? As opposed to actual games they may be slightly less exciting, but boring ?

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) Some guy in my poli sci class was doing a debate on the issue of assissaniting the head of state and brought up this, that we've tried to kill him 645 times. We put explosives in his cigars: Problem: He realized it was odd when it wieghed 2 pounds. We put explosives in one of his 400 pairs of shoes. He never wore that pair, and he sold them. We've tried numerous other things and failed miserably. Oh, I know about a couple of plots with cigars and the like, and I do know that we tried to kill him in the 1960s, but I'm not sure and I truly doubt that it's happened very recently or that it was such a high number. But, to round out my point, at least your source is of the highest class!

Take that, Dominicans!

When's the last time there was a fistfight between teams in the postseason, and when's the last time the White Sox bench was cleared?

That was a great throw against Alou.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) Bonds homered today Through sheer willpower alone.

Cintron erred! KENNY WILLIAMS IS AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!

Javier is doing an excellent job so far. I am thrilled to have him on our squad.

Has anyone ever seen Punch-Drunk? It's my favorite film, and I don't find many people who have seen it, so I'm just shopping around and wondering. I love Barry's character. Just how complex he was yet simple. I love how screwed up he is, but how innocent (the phone sex scene where he doesn't know that it's "phone sex" comes to mind). As far as The Mother, I love that no one in it was a good guy. Any thoughts on these films?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) Definitely. We'll never agree so it's best to leave it alone and not bother arguing. Like you said, I am entitled to my opinion and you to yours. But then again, the "genocide" by Milosevic is not at all comprable to that of the Holocaust. Almost 7 million were killed in the Holocaust. Furthermore: It depends upon the meaning of the word "genocide" and your interpretation of that meaning! I consider it to have been genocide, or attempted Genocide, at least. How utterly Clintonian.

Oh my God, he looks homeless. Get the Sox apparrel off of him! So, wait. Tom Hanks is a Sox fan, and so's Ron Howard?

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 06:17 PM) Be careful what you wish for Brian. Did anyone not see that high fastball coming to Griffey there? Griffey's such a stupid bastard. He swung at two awful pitches and the last one would've walked in the winning run. I guess he just wanted to show off for his son and the Reds. And Brad Lidge nearly kept his choke streak going. Glad he didn't. But A-Rod just hit a single, and finally made good. America wins!

I'm so tired of Johnny Damon and Alex Rodriguez sucking ass in this tournament. If it weren't for Derrek Lee and Chipper Jones, Team America would have been absolutely useless this whole tournament when it's counted.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 04:24 PM) Most definitely. There is no point in saying not. I am Serbian so I obviously am coming from a different, more biased, point of view. Two things: your second article about the genocide being "exaggerated" by the media reminds me of German reports that the Holocaust was "exaggerated" and its scope "mythical." Second, I think you're entitled to your opinion, although I think you're wrong. It's not like you think I'm right, though.

It's about time the United States ties the game.

Dude! Saddam's as good as dead.

3-1 Japan. Chipper Jones hit a homer to put one on the board for America. I love Chipper Jones.

QUOTE(samclemens @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 09:21 AM) you have substantially backtracked from your initial position of staunch bonds-apologist. just to confirm, are you seriously saying that you doubt bonds took steroids?? please, man!

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 09:36 AM) I fully expect to see Thome play first on occasion this year. He's always played defensively. This will be his first year as a primary DH. This is not Frank Thomas we are talking. Thome is perfectly capable of playing first with no more risk of injury than exists for Paulie playing first or Crede playing at third. Seconded.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Mar 11, 2006 -> 11:05 PM) I like how south africa joined the wbc, its good to see baseball is spreading around the world. Hell they might not be good but if they improve and get something going over there this sport of baseball could become a really liked national sport. Absolutely.

I think they're both full of s*** in their own special ways. All three of them -- Bush and the two Senators -- actually.
