  1. I don't get the three kings and the kkk reference. Could you explain it?
  2. andino pinch ran for hanley..... why? did hanley strain something?
  3. as a Comcast subscriber in Orlando... I currently don't get the games on Sun Sports. And you don't get any games if you're with Brighthouse.
  4. hanleys ridiculous base stealing ability would be erased if he was batting third.... im perfectly content with the numbers hes put up the last few years... keep him in first.
  5. i live in orlando and i think the best youre gonna get is if you get Comcast. you can get all the games on FSN, but none of the sun sports games. if theres ever a game you really want to watch and it won't be on fsn, there's a nice bar called Friendly Confines that gets pretty much every game for the marlins. ale house sucks.
  6. I took graduate tax courses with the county attorney mentioned in the Herald article. We would drive together from Miami to FIU's Ft. Lauderdale campus. She was gorgeous. Definitely man, she was the only attractive girl at that meeting of the board of county commissioners that we all watched in december. i envy you.
  7. which is why i don't think speculation on the matter should result in any record being marked with an asterisk unless, as you said earlier, we have concrete evidence that he did it. Which is the main reason I feel like this: :banghead when I see crap like this shirt, or when I see asshats like Mark Ecko defacing baseball history to market his clothing line. If Bonds is not found guilty for perjury, and no evidence proving he took steroids is presented, his baseball is already scarred based on pure speculation.
  8. Excellent footnote. I just don't agree with the need for an asterisk. i don't think barry had a competitive advantage over anybody else in the league during this time period except for being more talented than them. I think being knowledgeable about the history of baseball and recognizing this as the "steroid era" would be satisfactory rather than feeling the need to brand each individual player's record broken during this time period - as you could contest certain cy youngs, batting champs, home run totals, etc... could have been influenced by steroids. Which would result in records needing to be re-evaluated on a case by case basis, which in my opinion would be a waste of time; not to mention completely annoying. Rather than branding records with an asterisk, I'd be more than content with just moving on and putting our focus on improved testing and preventing this from continuing. Screw the past, the future should be our only concern. Unless you have a hard on for serving up some cold justice to these records that are only up for interpretation.
  9. Isn't he currently in court for his perjury charges. I am sure the media is staying away since he is in an ongoing case much more serious than the mitchell report. He gets charged in that he is officially done. BB TShirts that shirt makes me go :banghead just out of curiosity... if you could write it, how would the footnote that this asterisk is referring to read to you, dgreco?
  10. anyone know when we would be able to see illustrations of the potential designs? (if they haven't been released already) also, the content of that article is good but the format is horrendous.
  11. We are supposed to be above torture. We put people to death after WWII for waterboarding. exactly...its been proven over and over and over again not to work. Jack Bauer disagrees with you. hahaha.... that guy tortured someone damn near every episode... and it always worked
  12. hehe, Dan Uggla is "circus strong". Those forearms are freakish.
  13. i thought olivo's big thing going for him was that he was the strongest player on the team.... i could be wrong
  14. he makes me wish we still had mike redmond.... damn i miss him.
  15. Those are the two types of "performance enhancing drugs" I'm aware of (steroids and hgh). And then read the rest of the post to see why i mentioned them.
  16. I'm a little excited about the Cantu signing. Altough 2005 might have been a fluke, it is still some indication of what he might be capable of (unless he was on performance enhancing drugs at the time). The ones that make you stronger? Or the ones that heal your body quicker? IMO neither of those improve your ability to hit the ball.... so he has shown he CAN do that. If you're suggesting he took HGH then and has stopped now, I guess he may be more of an injury liability now and not get in his at-bats. But, I don't see how not being on them decreases his capability of hitting a ball.
  17. I look at this bit of news as good news. Because it is shows the kind of poor living environment these Iraqi people really were living in, and that we are helping them. This is good news on the war front people. Accept it. We may have been tricked into Iraq under false pretenses, but that happened a long time ago. It's time to support the war, and be glad when we hear stuff like this. Not condone the US for torturing suspected terrrists.... I mean, how the hell did THAT even enter your mind after reading this article? Good job soldier boys.
  18. There's no excuse for torture, period. I don't care what the reasons are. Right, I agree. I think everyone in the entire world would agree with that... minus a few masochistic motherf***ers. But, take the blinders off, and realize there IS a difference between the two types of torture. There is, in some cases, the need to torture information out of people. Haven't you ever seen 24?!?! I'm kidding. But, you can't really be that ignorant... can you?
  19. When the US does that, it's called "harsh interrogation". I'm not sure where that came from... cuz it's not what this article is about at all. This article is describing the harsh living conditions for these everyday Iraqi villagers, living in fear from a local al-qaeda outpost, i'm assuming established by Hussein or whatever fine upstanding leader they had at the time when these torture complexes were established. Whereas when the US "harshly interrogates" someone it is in the nature of our national security. They are truly completely seperate in my opinion - on one hand you have citizens being bullied and intimidated and on the other you have suspected terrorists being purged for information.
  20. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/12/19/...html#cnnSTCText BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Coalition forces found 26 bodies buried in mass graves and a bloodstained "torture complex" with chains hanging from walls and ceilings and a bed connected to an electrical system, the military said Wednesday. The troops were conducting an operation north of Muqdadiya, Iraq, when they made the discovery. From December 8-11, the troops who found the complex also killed 24 people they said were terrorists and detained 37 suspects, according to a statement issued by Multinational Division North at Camp Speicher in Tikrit. The moves were part of an operation called Iron Reaper that has been in progress across northern Iraq for the past few weeks. The complex was in an area thought to be an al Qaeda in Iraq safe haven and operating base, the military said. Iraqis had told the military about the site during an earlier operation. "Evidence of murder, torture and intimidation against local villagers was found throughout the area," the military statement said. Ground forces first found what appeared to be a detention facility. As they cleared the area, they found several bodies. Eventually, 26 bodies were uncovered in mass graves next to what were thought to be execution sites, the military said. The detention facility was one of three connected to the torture complex, Multinational Division North said. One of the facilities appeared to have served as a headquarters building and a torture facility, it added. Photos given to the news media show a filthy bed wired to an electrical system, with an outlet hanging from wires on the wall. Other photos show an entrance to the underground bunker and barbed wire stretched outside it. The operation netted nine weapons caches, which have been destroyed, the military said. They included anti-aircraft weapons, sniper rifles, more than 65 machine guns and pistols, 50 grenades and a surface-to-air missile launcher and platform, the statement said. Also found were mines, pipe bombs, rocket-propelled grenades, mortar tubes and rounds and 130 pounds of homemade explosives. It really scares me to think how many other tortue complexes there are throughout iraqi villages. These people were living in TRUE fear. How f***ing gay is that?
  21. The sail roof ain't happening here in Miami. The team has been adamant about a real, retractable roof from the beginning. The problems down here are more than just the sun beating down on the fans. We have to deal with the heat, the humidity, and most importantly, the threat of rain every summer afternoon as well as the actual rain itself. A partial sail roof may protect the fans from getting wet but the game would be delayed or postponed since it would not cover he playing field. Thats not true. You think theyd really consider a roof that had some sort of enormous hole in the middle that only allowed water to fall all over the field???? Is that what you think? The roof they're talking about isnt just an oversized umbrella that hangs over the fans. Is that "sail" going to withstand a hurricane. Please excuse my asking but I am in Chicago and it seems like 120 mph wind would not be good on a sail. I'm sure they'd take it down in the event of a hurricane.
