LOL "He is getting screamed at!" As they pan by a quiet Ozzie.

Not to knit-pick, but if BA wouldn't have been staring at that ball he hit, he might have been able to get to third. The last time he did that he was thrown out. You'd be all over him if that would have happened, be happy with the double.

[pep talk] OK, AJ, these fans hate you. Make them hate you more. [/pep]

Come on Orlando.

BRIAN! THATS MY BOY YAY FOR PEP TALKS!

[pep talk] OK, Brian. You've sucked donkey balls at the plate so far today. Do something good. [/pep]

We can't use Linebrink in every close game.

I'd be cool with Boone Logan being the only reliever we ever use.

¿Como tú runs, Sox?

I'll take it. Come on Joe. This situation was made for you.

Get around on one, Nick.

Alright, we got Swish, Joe and Alexei coming up. There's still hope, and, hey, Thome will probably pinch hit.

Jesus f***ing Christ.

Good ol Gas Can coming in.

MAPLE!

Oh Juanny. I woulda gone with Pablo, but Juan is making me hate him less every day.

DOUBLE PLAY

BA'll get the run in.

Swish!

So, I'm thinking Danks for 7, then Liney and Jenks.

I wish I could find the clip of Aaron Rowand and BA screaming like little girls over Pods HR. That moment is a pretty good description of the true elation some of us had in 05.

Whatever happened to collecting stickers?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 03:55 PM) Well, the short answer is that they actually can't...but the reason it keeps coming up is that for most sea-bordering nations, the nation is granted by the law of the sea (A treaty the Republicans really don't like and for some reason won't ratify) an "Exclusive economic zone" which allows that country access to all the resources and mineral wealth contained within that boundary, which is 200 miles thick. Cuba however sits 90 miles from the Coast of Florida, so their economic zone would hypothetically impinge upon ours, and if you use your imagination and think what would a boundary 200 miles thick around Florida and cuba look like, the Cuban one would be wider and would sort of extend around the bottom and the sides of Florida's because Florida is much narrower. After a little bit of research, it seems that because the boundaries would sit on top of each other, the result is that they basically split the difference and draw the boundary half way between Cuba and the U.S. The U.S. has imposed a moratorium (Not a ban btw) on drilling within certain specific coastal waters, starting I believe in the late 70's after a bad oil spill off the Channel Islands in the Santa Barbara area that contaminated a lot of preserved coastline. California, Florida, and a couple other spots have enacted state bans and a national moratorium was also established covering some of those zones. The idea then is that Cuba allows drilling in these regions, doesn't have the technology to do so, brings in the Chinese, and they slant-drill down to get at resources that ought to belong to the U.S. It's simply untrue, but that's the story. Gracias.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 12:35 PM) when I was in early elementary school my science textbook said that we would be out of oil by the year 2000. Not to mention your social studies book viewed the Civil Rights movement as "trouble down the road".

So, honest question... Why would we allow Cuba to drill where we won't allow Americans to? I'm not saying we should, but why can they?
