QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 07:34 PM) For shame Al Gore. The Goracle help start up a corporation which turns over dissident names to the Chinese government, often resulting in execution of the before mentioned dissident. But I think the donated money to Dems, so it's all good. And their motto is something like "do no harm". so it must be true. I thought that was Yahoo.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 10:00 AM) All 14 of those questions are valid. I see nothing wrong with them. No one knows anything really about Obama. It'd be nice if he actually got some hardball questions instead of the usual crap he gets on shows like the view. Just take a look at the logic train of this question: "Mr. Obama, your church preaches that Jesus was black. It is fair to assume that you believe this. If you believe that Jesus was black, why do you and Minister Farrakhan hate Jews, and will your hatred of Jews affect their voting?" Yeah. Totally valid and fair.

QUOTE(G&T @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 08:18 AM) Its blacked out completely on Saturday if Fox has the rights. Which they do. I'm screwed too. MLB blackout rules are retarded. Go Sox!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 09:55 PM) You have this backwards. As 98% of people have equity in their homes, and owe less than its value, even if the bank holding the loan were to "collapse", the owners would still be in the black. Even if some company swoops in and buys the debt, they won't want to call that debt, because that would be idiotic - they'd lose a ton of money. So in reality, your A>B is backwards. Its B>A. If suddenly people stop being able to pay their mortgages, then banks start to collapse or get in trouble. I didn't necessarily mean it that way. If a large chunk of our banking system went under, our economy in general would be in for a world of hurt. Just about everyone loses in that situation.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:42 PM) Oh, but it's ok for the Federal Reserve to step in and tell all of those banks that made hundreds of billions of dollars worth of bad loans and purchases that they don't have to worry because the Federal Reserve will bail them out? Isn't that EXACTLY the same thing, and can't the exact argument be made about that? If bailing out people who took out bad loans is bad policy because it's putting trust in people who have already engaged in risky behavior, why should we put so much faith in bankers? If the entire banking system collapses, we can all lose our homes.

Please stop throwing sidearm, moron.

Ugh.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 09:07 PM) This is the whole quote: "I think it's simplistic and naive to say people can spend their money better than the government. And the reason is, the reason we have government is to build community assets. And I don't care how rich you are, you can't build a freeway system by yourself, and that's why we have taxes. And I don't care how rich you are, you can't build a public education system by yourself. You can get you own child educated, but in this state we have something called universal education for all children. And so I think the notion that everybody can individually spend their money better than government I just think is trite, wrongheaded and anti-democratic." http://www.looktruenorth.com/limited-gover...-sure-but-.html Get that context outta here! It's all about quote-mining and taking sound bytes to completely change the meaning of what he said.

QUOTE(almagest @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) Stone said Danks looked tired, and was starting to leave the ball up. It was a good idea to get him outta there. Gameday pitch locations agreed with Stone. He looked like he was losing some control out there.

A White Sox Winner!

QUOTE(iamshack @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:56 PM) Would have rather let Swish run, and sub Anderson in at Center in the bottom of the 8th, moving Swish to Right. His knee might be a little bruised.

BA in for Swish on a pinch run/ defensive substitution

QUOTE(SoxWS05 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) Westbrook has been nasty though.. His breaking pitches have been working great, but the Sox hitters aren't doing themselves much favors. Figures, the two guys being ridden the hardest here have provided the only runs for the Sox. Too bad Danks will only get a no decision for his fantastic effort today.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:41 PM) Jermaine looked to come in on that ball with his first step. Stone and Farmer made that comment and said he did the same thing on the ball off of his glove yesterday.

Garko with a double over Dye drives in Hafner from first.

Top two. Good luck!

Bunting with Konerko, Dye, and AJ? Good one, Ozzie!

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:28 PM) Stupid Casey Blake. Good job, Casey Blake!

QUOTE(scenario @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:15 PM) Has everybody simply forgot the epic rate at which Fields was striking out last year? It was Dave Kingman-like. Crede is looking just as bad if not worse so far this spring and these last three games.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:13 PM) Danks is a beast, can we please just score one fricking run for the guy. If Juan is gonna get a hit, he has got to think opposite direction, in '04 when he was ridiculous, that's what he did. Close enough.

Danks keeps on rolling.

More bad hitting with RISP.

Woohoo, perfect game is broken up.

QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 11:41 AM) Please tell me GameDay is wrong...Danks with an 86 and 84 mph fastball???? 90, 92, and 92 on the last three FB's. Maybe a bad reading?

As bad as Westbrook is making the Sox offense look, Danks is pitching very well right now too.
