QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 08:05 AM) I went to a college that established the first Peace Studies program in the nation, so as you can imagine, Rush was not very cool.

A world with nothing but Hawks or nothing but Mariottis would be boring at best. I am thankful for both of them.

This is the beauty of America. We take a nice sentiment or even a good idea, and cram it down everyone's throat until it stops. In this case, it was screwed up from the earliest I can remember the whole ribbon thing. During the Iran Hostage someone with an IQ hovering around room temperature heard that Tony Orlando and Dawn song about tying a yellow ribbon and did it for the hostages. Next thing you know, K-Marts everywhere are out of yellow ribbons and if you don't display a yellow ribbon, you must be for the Iranians, you un-American not displaying a ribbon commie.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. It says something about Delay's f***ups when even Ailes and FNC won't defend him. And Tex, at the very least he should step down from his position in the Ethics Committee (I mean, Hell, the GOP even removed a rule put forth during the "Republican Revolution" of 1994 that they used to politically target a few Democrats saying that if you were under investigation then you could not be chairman of a committee -- of course when Delay was being investigated, the GOP just removed that pesky little provision since they were on the wrong end of it now) Hell, Where's Ken Starr when you need him? And lets not even get into his threats against judges -- http://rawstory.com/exclusives/byrne/laute...schiavo_401.htm I gotta agree with him stepping down from leadership positions. What bothers me the most about this is they took their best shot at him, it didn't bring him down, and now it's petty little stuff. If the Dems cannot win that seat the next go around, they do not deserve it.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 03:22 PM) Wow, that's completely screwed up. And I thought that they were just exaggerating in Friday Night Lights. Hopefully he'll be apprehended before he does more damage. During football season the Rio Grande Valley teams will be in 12-14 games at various levels each week. The local sports radio station will have reporters at every one. The TV news will lead with football action and it will take up at least 3/4 of the expanded sports coverage. The average fan could name a dozen of the top players by name. In Donna, Texas varsity players were caught putting on gloves and sodomizing underclassman as a kind of initiation. The coach tried to cover it up. The School Board fired him and parents were up in arms and protesting his dismissal. Could be he led them to the state playoffs last year. It is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

If we were offered 2-1 at the start of the series, I would have taken it. Ozzie cannot make plans in case his closer is giving up 3. No manager can.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 04:53 PM) 'Cuse me while I go jump off a bridge now like everyone else. It's been real, or unreal, kinda like yesterday. Tootles! Thank the team for helping us test the new server. Wait for the comeback!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) Koch made a cameo. Oh s***, I checked the box score. I wouldn't have guessed who

I just got back did I miss anything??

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 02:35 PM) Just got back from lunch. Crede got a hit! No way! You think you're shocked, you should have seen the Indian bench

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 02:32 PM) lol I shouldn't laugh but I am anyways. What would soxdom be without the OH s***! factor??

Now I'm feeling like a Sox fan

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 02:11 PM) I think AJ and Paulie should race for charity.... it would be an all day event.... 100 yard dash, I'll bring the sun dial

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) I almost had a heart attack, Crede got a hit. He's got a higher average then Rowand

Stop the presses. Crede's on a roll.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:52 PM) He made a nice play getting a cup of gatorade for Ozzie. Real MVP-type moves on that one. POst of the MOnth material

Willie eff anything up yet..?? QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:52 PM) He made a nice play getting a cup of gatorade for Ozzie. Real MVP-type moves on that one.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) Eeep. How this team keeps winning is beyond me. If Skiles isn't coach of the year, Frank Thomas is a skinny 98 pound white boy. Frank could be a 98 pound skinny white guy if he would just get on the Michael Jackson Off the Wall diet and surgery plan.

QUOTE(Cali @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:47 PM) Motherf***ing MLB.TV, it's freezing up every 10 seconds or so. Not Buffering like my connection is bad, just freezing. And that 10 seconds equates to just about every damn pitch. The pitcher starts his wind up, and right before he releases the ball it's freezes. Then I either hear the crack of the bat and have no clue what's happening, or miss if it's a ball or strike. I have to go off of what the announcers say, and it's the Indian announcers too, I just can't win. Do you know how annoying that is? Jesus f***..... [/rant] I'm resisting this season. That was the norm for me last year, and the delay was annoying. I'd read it here, then see the play. I also wish they gave a choice of annoucers. OUtside of the Yankee announcing team, the rest are annoying.

That's why I asked. I'm following with gameday and not seeing the nuances. In my mind I saw a throw and a slide and a close play.

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) Probably not. There was no throw to third. I'm not complaining, but let's not run ourselves out of innings either. Good steal if no risk, a passed ball brings you home, but it would be really dumb to get tossed at 3rd for the third out.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) It was our lucky banning Then

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) Podsednik steals THIRD!!! Oh man. I'm smiling uncontrolably. 2 outs and he's in scoring position, why steal? Were they not holding him on?

Not to jinx this, but why did we ban the Indians troll before this series??
