QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 14, 2009 -> 02:05 PM) Ok, induldge me on this. If the law is so "unclear", why don't they clear it up and pass a very black and white law outlawing some of these EIM's? Why is it so "unclear" in the first place? Why is it that "liberals" (and I'm not trying to paint you... I'm being serious with this line of questioning) are so quick on the trigger to say "WAR CRIMESSS"... and "they broke the law", when in fact there are several respected constitutional lawyers (who you may disagree with, yet they are well respected, so let's not go down that path) that say no laws were broken? Which then leads me back to my original question, why don't they clear the law up right here and now? (I have an answer, I just want to see what yours is). Because if you build a better mousetrap, a better mouse will come along. Each president wants the flexibility for themselves.

Discussing the development of a player who is/was expected to anchor 3B for a number of years seems like an important conversation to have. The fact we have posters of many opinions and whose baseball knowledge is varied, means almost any conversation will feature extremes. And even among the truly knowledgeable baseball people, there will be intelligent disagreement. Some will say an out is an out and whether by a line drive to the shortstop or a called third, ultimately it is still an out and there are only 27 you get.

Actually paying for government is no longer why we pay taxes, we only pay taxes to influence the economy.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 14, 2009 -> 01:41 PM) No offense, but if Brian Anderson is our "savior", we're ready to be in fourth place all year. And I like Anderson. ^^^^ About what I was thinking.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 14, 2009 -> 12:49 PM) And the government is MUCH bigger then in the 1980's. Numbers can mean anything you want them to mean, Balta. I like how you cherry pick numbers to what you want to comment on. And yes, that goes both ways. So it seems as we grow the government we grow the GNP!

QUOTE (striker62704 @ May 14, 2009 -> 01:12 PM) Why are you centering out Fields? This whole team looks like sh@$ at the plate. We got shutdown by Mark f4cking Eaton. Two points It is a Josh Fields thread Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter, let it do its job.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 14, 2009 -> 09:56 AM) Most of the times that a player or manager bumps an umpire, its clearly an accident with no intent. However, they are still suspended. If the ump heard Ozzie "toot" in his direction or noticed the odor of a "silent but deadly" bomb, I gotta believe that they would file a report with the league office and pursue a suspension. Not the same thing at all. We are talking about an involuntary, at times, bodily function. It would be like pursuing a suspension because he was sweating.

Not one of these Not one of these either (I know what you are thinking, no need to post pic, find your own porn)

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 14, 2009 -> 09:42 AM) Crede's haters are pretty predictable. You can say that again

It is not just they employ pilots with less experience, the economics cause them to employ pilots that can't live near their base, sleep in lounges instead of a hotel room, moonlight to pay the rent, etc. Even the least experienced pilot for a commercial airline has a fair amount of experience.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 14, 2009 -> 07:16 AM) I'm being sarcastic, but I think way too many people here think the correct hitting coach can make everyone a .330 hitter. I think way too many players think the hitting coach can show them how to hit 30 HRs a season.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 14, 2009 -> 01:20 AM) Maybe this was a subtle message to Walker as well... Nah, I'm guessing the entire organization, including Ozzie Jr. and the reporter, knows that.

finally his mouth and ass are in harmony It would be difficult to prove intent. I can't see how they could ring him up when it can so easily be called an accident.

I missed the number of ways to get to first. I also missed an easy one about the runner on first. I did not see the difference between tagging the runner first or second. And the balk, but I just misread the question. I'll admit a couple were guesses on my part. I only *knew*, with absolute certainty, 4 or 5.

The ERA 3 earned in 17 outs. 3/17=.176 * 27 = 4.76 Earned runs divided by number of outs multiplied by 27 for a full nine innings.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 13, 2009 -> 07:53 PM) I really don't care anymore. I used to be strongly against the legalization of any drugs, but what's the use? Just legalize everything and let the idiots put whatever they want into their bodies. Users are still gonna use, but if it's gonna be like that, why not ruin all the drug dealers and the drug trade with mexico and make money off of it. It's a free country, and if someone wants to blow snow or take some acid, let the idiot do it. Just to clarify a point. The majority of the hard narcotics trade is through Mexico, not with Mexico. Mexico spends a lot of money trying to keep Americans from connecting with their South American suppliers. They do this to keep the aid that the US sends their way, and to continue to be a "partner". If the US didn't have so much drug use, they could, in theory, spend less on their drug law enforcement.

7/10 because the test is hard, and in 30+ years have not seen some of the scenarios nor read the rule book. Missed an easy one. And have a complaint about another. Oops, thought through it and realize my mistake. Great quiz.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 13, 2009 -> 01:31 PM) It sure worked for the Democrats over the last eight years... Yes it did, but I'm going to guess the Republicans are smart enough to stop.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) "If you help us now, in 200 years, you're going to be really happy you did".

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 13, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) Its been going on forever. I recently saw a History Channel show where FDR was secretly working with Churchill, before he was in charge, about how to publicly be against getting the US into WWII, while trying to figure out a way to sway opinion and get us into the war. It was an amazing breach of protocall and of what the American people wanted. Exactly. I imagine we didn't want to know what Franklin was really doing in France

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 13, 2009 -> 11:19 AM) Well, I think when you start designing a system penalizing someone for having money, all while not holding any expectations to low income people that receive that money, you're effectively just taking a chunk of money from person A and giving it to person B. Thus I think the phrase is entirely accurate. The penalty they have is living in a society with world class roads, defense, health systems, education, and much more.
