QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 11:34 AM) No, not in that situation, but I would call for the bunt in the 3rd inning if, say, the leadoff batter was the 9th batter (Getz) and he got on base. So if Getz was on base, and the next batter was Pods and the batter after that is Beckham, then I'm DEFINITELY calling for a bunt. With a well-played bunt by Pods, 1 of 2 things can happen: 1. Getz moves over to 2nd and Pods is out, and Beckham bats next. or... 2. Getz mvoes over to 2nd and Pods is safe on 1st after outrunning the bunt, flustering the opposing pitcher with 2 runners on base with 1 in scoring position and a strong bat in Backham standing in the batter's box. That's better than letting Pods try to swing and risk a double-play, which would not give Beckham the psychological edge he would've had if there was 1 baserunner on 2nd in scoring position, or 2 baserunners on base. Are we suggesting the Pods (as in the guy that is hitting .303 and 2nd most likely on the team to get a "real" hit) or a generic Pods hitting close to the team average? The .303 Pods I'm leaving up there to hit in the early and mid innings and looking really long and hard before squaring him around in the 7-8-9.

You have to match the strategy to the players and their abilities or lack there of. There are a lot of ways to win a World Series, and slugging your way is one way to do it. So is hitless wonders. But don't try and fit team A into the role of team B.

Really nice weather here

I am bummed that I am so f***ing jaded by athletes and public figures that my first reaction was his public relations person or the team's PR guy told him to go do this. I have zero reason to believe that in this case besides a couple decades of scumbags in sports. Damn, that makes me sad.

Lots of blueberries in my fruit smoothie today

I was just thinking, is there any chance that Kayne ever saw any of Swift's work? And if so, why??

I needed a laugh today

Honestly, we'd rather see the new ladies you are gettin' after losing all that weight

A few people pay for the world's military A few people pay for the US roadways A few people pay for our water and sewer A few poeple pay for the inspection of our food and drug systems A few people pay for our police and fire protection and we can keep going on, but you get the point.

Add a few thousand more to the unemployment numbers.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 08:16 AM) There are Americans willing to do those jobs after all. Provided the wages are right. But when the wages get too high, like the American auto worker, then people start criticizing and wanting to see those wages cut and benefits dropped.

We'll see what happens when the economy turns around. But this is exactly why I favor a guest worker program. We should be able to regulate how many guest workers are brought in each year. Raise and lower the number based on the needs of American business and employees.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) Dead pool payouts are going to be VERY small this year. We always paid the person with the most points. 100 less the age of the celebrity. And typically it was 50-30-20 split. So the payout was always the same no matter how many celebrities dies. We also limited your list to 20.

Eureka! I have developed the X-ray machine! What's that? We can make an image of your bones without opening you up! Whaaaaat? What is thaaaat gonna cost!!?? We take one of these expensive X-rays and what is nothing is broken? What a waste of money. Yeah, I guess it was a dumb idea. You know, just wondering when medical tests became a waste of money. There is a small chance, one in a thousand, this is some scary ass thing that could kill you. Fortunately, we developed a test that could detect it before it can kill your ass. Waste of money?

Something for my GOPerhead friends, I'll come back and explain it if y'all don't get it

It was closer to this, but LMAO at the one above

I just received a series of good news, now to try and capitalize on them

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 10:44 AM) So why is it that there is no spare capacity anywhere? What are you basing that on? I see spare capacity all over the place. One easy thing, how many Doctors are advertising? Why advertise if you have no capacity? Also, if there is money to fund expansion, don't you think companies will expand? Another idea, since we are making some major changes, let's build into a new system more P.A.s and R.N. care clinics. There will be a growth curve, and some growing pains, but Americans have always found ways to ramp up and get the job done. That's how we won WW2 and it is how we will win this.

He hosted SNL and he and his wife put on a great ballroom dancing show. Straight up, no joking. Seemed like one of the few who lived a normal life instead of the tabloid kind of crazy Hollywood life

Late shows are boring.

I am so proud of myself. Some tree hugging green dude on a bike was riding right next to a puddle, I hit the water just right and sent a big old shower of muddy water all over his spandex.
