QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) I still don't know who they'll run who will be anything but a sacrificial lamb. Mitt Romney will be like Buster Douglass in 2012.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 05:46 PM) QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 06:33 PM) When my friends would come over when I was a kid I would hide the Richard Simmons tapes cause I knew the jokes that were going to come after. Yes ,I was embarrassed that my mom was a fan of his. Wyane Brady is a gangsta... Free Video Hosting

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 08:00 PM) And what have you done to disprove that you aren't a socialist, fascist, homophobe? Proving that you aren't something is impossible. Exactly.... but Obama is still the devil.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 04:26 PM) I'd love him for the Viciedo price range as people have mentioned, but anything more is too much of a risk on an unknown like this. Sure, he has had solid numbers in Cuban ball, but it's a huge jump to the majors. The way he throws, he also seems like a big risk of injury. Too many potential risks to give him anything more than $10 million over four years or so. Let the Red Sox and Yankees outbid themselves and then have him not make in the majors. Ask the Red Sox how Mr. Untouchable in Japan (Matsuzaka) is doing for them. One average year, one great year and one horrible, injury-riddled year. I think it's clear that the $20 million per year they are paying him (combining his salary and posting fee) is clearly not an overpay. I wouldn't be opposed to offer Chapman up to 20 million altogether.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) If they bring this kid in and he is really hitting 102/103 with some sort of control and/or breaking stuff, the bidding will start at $50 million and go up. From what I've seen and read, he might have been able to hit 102 or 103 at certain points, but from video I've seen, he sits in the mid to high 90's (can reach back and get up 99-100 when he wants) and really does have a lot of work to do regarding control and maybe his mechanics. He is no where near as polished as Contreras or Matsuzaka were, and I doubt he'll get a deal anywhere near either of them. Count and DiceK where both MLB ready and people who could contribute right away. Chapman, while he has great stuff, it probably at least a year way, at least in a starters role.

Jose, get on the phone, and do a better job than Linebrink!!!!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:24 PM) Ugh, please no Joe Johnson. Why not? I really don't know a ton about basketball, but I do know Johnson can score points, is still relatively young, and can play the 2 or 3. Does he have a large contract or not play D?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:47 PM) Ok, so you're saying you get your own show on Fox News then? Weekend or weekday? (You gotta give me that one, that was golden!) I'll give you that one.... but that is only one battle in a very large war!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:43 PM) Dude, seriously, get real. If you're going to mock crap, at least have your facts right. I realize I was wrong and tried to add some comic relief... I guess it didn't work.

Good for Apple

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:34 PM) You do realize that is where we're heading towards, right? I think that's part of the deal here. I do realize it, but there's still a small amount of hope in me that one day all liberal progressives wake up, and realize how stupid they've been

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:35 PM) We haven't been on the gold standard since 1971? Shut up.

That'd be no fair. No way any middle aged or old white guy can beat a middle aged black guy in basketball. The only person on the GOP that would have a chance is Alan Keyes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:32 PM) Just like a Republican. I'm annoyed and your hands are oily. WAR! (seriously, I have a small bit of hydraulic oil on my hands right now). As south park clearly stated... if it wasn't for us pro-war people, America would be viewed as a bunch of pussies. However, as south park also stated, if it wasn't for you anti-war people, America would be viewed as a bunch of mad, gun crazy assholes. It actually is a perfect balance.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:31 PM) It would make the debt suddenly not matter. Anyway, no, so that we don't fall in to a 1990's Japan or 1930's world style deflationary contraction. It would also make the dollar and the gold standard not matter.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:26 PM) I found it funny. Fine, but you now know this means war.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:27 PM) Frankly, it'd be the right move. Why, so we can buy a loaf of bread for 150 dollars?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:20 PM) Being young, all the more reason you should be thinking long term. All the more reason to support alternative energy push. I got no problem with alternative energy sources. I've said plenty of times to put a lot of money into all the fields and basically throw s*** at the wall and see what sticks. However, until we find a suitable replacement, we shouldn't consider oil, coal, etc. as evil and not to be used. Also, I'd like to see more nuclear energy power plants built, a virtually limitless energy source (right?) to provide us power.... but all the liberals hate that for some reason.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:23 PM) I do like that you're still talking about hyper-inflation when even Kap is agreeing with me that we're pushing dangerously close to deflation. I disagree. I don't see us stopping at a trillion dollars, and I think we will keep printing money hoping to get out of the soon to be depression.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:14 PM) How long before she has her own show on Fox News, and will it be a weekday show or just a weekend gig? Really, what was the point of this? 1.) It wasn't funny. 2.) Fox news is to the right, MSNBC and CNN are to the left. Every time a democrat leaves office, I'm gonna say how long until they join MSNBC or CNN. Oh, I forgot, Huckabee has his own show no one cares about on the weekends.... so every conservative politician who leaves office is gonna get a TV show on the weekends.

I love the argument that it won't change my life anytime soon.... Guess what, I'm 18 and plan on being around for a lot longer. It's gonna affect me and everyone else at some point. I guess if your 92 years old or have a death wise, you really don't have to worry about this stuff, but because it might not effect me in the short term doesn't really please me all that much. In fact, I know my life won't change in the short term. It's the long term that's got me worried. Enormous amounts of debt, hyper-inflation looming if we don't stop printing money, bills that do nothing but tax me, government telling me what type of car to buy and what type of medical treatment I do and don't need, etc... It all adds for a very rough time for everyone.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:08 PM) On another angle, anyone consider the timing? 4th of July weekend? Kind of adds to the weirdness I suppose. What she does the next few weeks will tell us if she just wants out, or if she is doing something to protect her political future, or if someone has seriously incriminating pictures. It wouldn't surprise if her husband has been in some dirty business. Wasn't there some speculation about this before?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 05:35 PM) Andrea Mitchell of NBC is reporting that sources have told her that Palin is out of politics forever. Andrea Mitchell is a no good hack... I really don't care what she's reporting on now, but I felt like getting that out there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 06:01 PM) She did nothing to disprove that she is nutty, stupid, an airhead, etc. That's your opinion... So far Obama hasn't done anything to disprove that he is the Devil, a socialist, a fascist, has no respect for the constitution, wants to takeover America, wants to completely undo what the founders did, etc..... but that's just my opinion.
