Obama promised change. Obama supporters bought into the change. Some will applaud, some will jeer. America!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) That is f***ing moronic. The US already has millions of acres of leased land specifically for the purpose of drilling with minimal impact (after studies). So, apparently, we can't drill there, but we need to drill in protected space??? Idiots. x

I love it when two posts come in at the same time on the exact same subject. And in this case from both the right and center

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) Agreed, but most Presidents sort of spazz out in their last couple months trying to make a good mark on the world through various executive orders. And don't forget pardoning various felons, donors, friends of donors, political exiles, etc. Those are my favorites

His legacy is cast. And it isn't pretty.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 11:40 AM) No because those areas aren't known for their baseball programs like Cuba is. It's just like how getting a player from Japan gets people a lot more excited than they would get about a player from Taiwan, or how a player from the DR or Venezuela creates more excitement than a player from the Netherlands. Or a basketball player from China So is it their skeletons that make the French poor players? Their intellect?

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

what Cubans do they have? We're all about the Cubans today (why don't we have a Cuban flag smiley?) Damn mods sitting on their ass again. /back to discussion

Would we be as excited about Viciedo if he was Brazilian or French?

I remember the thrill of breaking in a new mitt. The rubber bands and glove oil. The forcing my hands to try and close it. Sleeping with it under my pillow.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 10:27 AM) It hilarious how ignorant some people are about baseball though. On the radio people were lauding KW's deal for DV saying that it was too much money for a player that wasnt proven in a league that is not up to par. Uh, you mean you would put our American High School baseball a level above Cuban leauge? Because we are essentually signing a player right out of highschool, yet he has been playing pro ball for 4 years longer than those HS'ers. Whole websites are filled with those people. And they keep telling each others how smart they are.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 10:24 AM) Did you see one of the reasons Penny's option wasn't picked up by the Dodgers? He didn't hang around for the playoffs. Its more like when your boss "suggests" you work some overtime. You don't have to, but its best you take his/her advise. No, the boss told them there was no work for them, and they could leave. Sorry I called you all to this meeting, but as it turns out, we don't need you guys, just these guys over here. So you can stick around while we have the meeting, or you could go home.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 09:49 AM) he is leaving himself at a competitive disadvantage Like evaluating the agent before the player

QUOTE (Soxy @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 10:07 AM) I find it difficult to believe that the only creepy way you, of all people, can hit on girls is on facebook. I kid because I care. I kid because I care™ Get it right or FlaSoxxJim will take away our rights to use it. Are you saying it's not the only creepy way, or not the only way?

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 20, 2008 -> 04:38 PM) ^And Broadway walked out on the team instead of hanging around the locker room for the playoffs, I love the double secret loyalty tests. "We're going to close early today, if you are done with your work, you can go home." "Look at them, obviously not team players. Let's get rid of them!"

I lived a couple blocks from a lake and would spend my summers swimming at the beach and fishing off of people's piers.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 09:36 AM) If he can get a team to win, he will sell tickets. True, but they expect every manager to do that. Do that *and* be Ozzie and you have a show, you get coverage, etc. It seems like more and more baseball isn't the only factor and that sucks.

We broke the same window, in the same under construction house, four times before the builder showed up one day and threatened to kick our m-fing asses if we broke the wndow one more time playing baseball. So we broke the m-fers window with a rock instead!
