QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 09:05 AM) Sigh 2k5 isn't actually against financial regulation, it only seems that way because you argue with him so much.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 12:52 AM) You underestimate the F-22's ability to regulate the financial sector. Actually, I wouldn't mind this if they could limit the collateral damage.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 02:40 PM) Maybe #4 ahead of Danks, but I don't see putting him at #3. Me either... and actually I'd rather have Danks tbh.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 02:55 PM) Senator Tom Coburn ®: Don't believe everything you see on FOX News, Nancy Pelosi is nice. http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2...ews.php?ref=fpa April 1 was 5 days ago. Although I think Coburn is an asshole from the quotes and press statements he's made, so maybe I should take his advice. lol.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 08:17 AM) The guy showed no hint of trying to be amusing at all. He even did the "tip over" gesture with both of his hands and was very deliberate about it. Of course he's going to release a statement saying it was a joke, how could he not and just let that go? If he was trying to be funny it was one, a bad joke, two, delivered absolutely terribly, and three, made no sense. Either way it was still an incredibly stupid statement. This is also not the first time he's made a ridiculous public statement mind you. I did also read somewhere from one of his defenders that he may be experiencing health issues (dementia) due to a battle with Hepatitis C that may have played a role in what he said. If true, i won't hold it against him, but also if true he has no business being in office anymore. Well, yeah, all of the above is a given.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) My lord people. The President of the United States is a Sox fan, and chose to wear a Sox hat even though he was first-pitching for DC's team. Be happy and move on. Seriously. These stories, in my mind, are kind of fun (same as I thought when a poster - was it Alpha Dog? - posted the article about President Bush following Danks's stats)... and yet...

Krause inherited Jordan, he didn't draft him. Krause became GM in 1985 or 1986.

Adam Jones, you just have to watch him play. He covers a ridiculous amount of ground.

Oh and some of you are seriously toeing the line here - this is PHT, not the Filibuster. I like to think of Soxtalk posters as better than the morons who comment on this article on the bigger sports sites.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 12:58 AM) I misread it. Maybe lostfan was trying to say that it's tradition to wear something (cap, jacket, etc.) of the team in whose park they're throwing out the first pitch. The tradition of the president wearing a Nationals jersey when he throws out the first pitch.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 11:10 PM) I've been pimpin' them for about two years now. I wouldn't be surprised if they went .500. Which would be a major improvement. Ill go so far as to say they would compete in any other division than the one they're in.

I was trying to avoid going there. Oh well, it always does

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 11:03 PM) How can it a tradition when the team is only like three years old? Right.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 10:57 PM) Probably because he was wearing a nationals jacket? That was my thought, but who the hell knows. I read that he actually didn't want to wear the Nationals jacket but he got talked into it. They say it's a tradition for the president to wear a Nationals jacket but how is it really a tradition? Only one president (Bush) actually threw out a first pitch in a Nationals jacket.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 12:37 AM) The Mariners won 85 games last year while scoring a league-low 640 runs. Why? Because they had one of the stingiest defenses of the modern era. And Sabermetrics played a big role on the construction of their team. And what do you mean two of the top pitchers in the game? Cliff Lee wasn't a Mariner last year. Jermaine Dye hates Sabermetrics more than any human being on earth. It's why he's still unemployed. Two of the top pitchers ≠ top two pitchers

oh whoops, I thought I was talking about the Washington crowd. Why the hell would they boo him at USCF for wearing a Sox hat? edit: the above is a rhetorical question

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) really? that actually surprises me. i wouldn't have booed. He walked out and the crowd noise was about what you'd expect (mixed cheering and booing, people can't help themselves) then he pulled out his hat and put it on and the crowd looked stunned and started booing, then went back to cheering. I thought it was kind of funny actually, don't read comments on any article talking about this though because they are all stupid.

I have a good feeling about the Orioles this year.

Give me teachers. Who the hell do you think designs those F-22s?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 06:18 PM) This was posted on Jason Goffs facebook about Big Z today: LMAO lol, if anyone is jealous, it's them, since we have that Peavy guy

He meant that about as literally as Sean Hannity meant his "Tim McVeigh wannabes" comment a few days ago. That is to say, not at all. You see where he stopped because he thought the admiral or whoever was testifying was going to laugh and he basically ignored it. I'm surprised so many people think is really that mind-numblingly stupid and meant that, he actually had to issue a statement after that where he said something like he is worried that the island is going to be overpopulated.

Ok so a banned member started the first game thread. In 2005, who started the second game thread?

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) Breaking news: War is not cheap. Sometime we have to assert ourselves to other countries and remind them who's boss. When did you become a neocon? I didn't get that memo.

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 2, 2010 -> 01:43 AM) So then... is there anyone who would still argue the reason BA couldn't make it in Chicago was because Ozzie hated him? Really? This? Again?
