QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 11:27 PM) Tex, I make no claims on its accuracy. I haven't seen it, and based on reports that appear even on 'conservative' blogs, there are some 'fake, but accurate' moments in it. But this IS a threat to change, or else. IF the evidence shows serious mistakes in the show, and they are in effect trying to create their own history, then perhaps they should realize what the penalties would be. I can't explain it clearly but we all know this will probably be the version of history that everyone will remember. What they air, will become in our collective concious the "truth". Especially when it airs without commercials and is available for free. This isn't some made for tv movie, this is something more, something biggerl; at least that's going to be the feeling left behind. It's a strange twist, the government is going to the people (re: ABC) and telling them not to abuse the public trust, yet ABC is the public. So the whole thing is twisted.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:48 PM) You should change your name to ostrich if you can't see that, since your head is obviously buried somewhere. Evil, as much as I like to report on government abusing their positions, I'm siding with Rex on this one. I think it was a reminder that they have a public trust that has to be upeld. Likewise, I would support the network stating that it is a public trust and that is why they are airing it commercial free and making it available for schools. IN other words, both can make the same statement to back their position. Now, I wonder how much of the point counterpoint on what is accurate and what isn't, is based on politics.

THis is a prime example of how stats suck. Freddy gets a no decision, and he pitched his heart out.

I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.

I deleted a couple posts that were overboard and those that quoted it. We let a little extra go in the game threads because everything is happening so fast and we're all involved and die with every damn double that got hit. Be cool.

Careful about the attacks, we're all fans and we're all pissed

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 10:43 PM) for christ sake, the game ain't over yet, sissies. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Nice game by Freddy. Too bad it was wasted.

Hey, football started.

What the f*** is the record for consecutive doubles? Congraduf***ulations Jenks, you're in the record books.

I just can't f***in watch anymore.

QUOTE($I Need Money$ @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 06:17 PM) A.J.'s likeable? When he's on your team . . .

I am feeling good about Freddy tonight. I'm thinking seven strong.

I trust the Red Cross to spend that 4 mil better than the US Government. I think society loses when we take money from a good charity and give it to the government. I also don't like the government having a profit motive in collecting these fines.

RexKickAss; how did you do on your summer reading list? I'm filling in on books I should have read, but somehow missed. Currently I am reading Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 07:12 PM) I thought it was legal to gamble if you were 18? What's the big deal here? Not in most states, and all ban internet gambling.

Dye, Thome, Garland, Buehrle, AJ,. Gooch, Crede, Jenks, Ozzie, Kong, right down the lone these guys are nice. I imagine it's great in the clubhouse. No assholes.

Well if you have to have two A's

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 12:40 AM) You're just twisting the stats to back up your argument. You know as well as I that person's yearly stats paint a complete picture of their development and where they are. In the case of a rookie, I believe it is better to look at the trends. Is he learning to be a major league player? I think he is. Half a season, three months, isn't insignificant. If Kalapse was grabbing three weeks and only against lefties with bad hair, then I'd be inclined to believe the stats were painting a misleading picture.

Can we realize something here. We are talking about some guys that only a year or two ago were treated like gods and needed to be wrapped up in long term contracts. They were the can't miss HoFers. Now we have another group of guys that are can't miss HoFers and people are rushing into the lineup. And guess what, they'll be dog meat at some point also.

Those last two posts are gold.
