QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 04:06 PM) You are right, it was. I take it back. Should not have said that. However, in talking about Columbia, you seem very closed minded to the fact that they are improving drastically, and instead focusing on the fact that anything happened at all. There are 'unionists' murdered all over the world. And anti-union people as well. This deal can only help American companies, so I don't understand the liberal opposition, other than they are doing the bidding of their union overlords. You say 'don't reward murder', i say, 'reward the drastic drop in murder'. You are never going to have zero here. Now is the rate of assassination to union leaders droping because of reform or because there is barely any left? I also think this will cost more Americans their jobs. You come off as extremely anti-union. I've never heard of union workers called "overlords" before.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 12:03 PM) So improvement doesn't matter to you? I guess your small, prefect world is pretty lonely. How do you feel about countries where the unions try to take away secret ballots, so they can intimidate those that vote against unions? How do you feel about countries where anti-union workers are routinely harassed and assaulted? How about countries where unions make back room deals with companies, and sometimes even governments, without the membership knowing? I would wager that on an evil scale, the SEIU has done worse to workers by sheer volume than any supposed attacks against union people in Columbia, which is still not proven to be by the government. I'm not talking about other countries. I'm talking about Columbia. I really don't know what you mean by my small world and being lonely, but I think it was a personal attack of some sort.

All this with 2 outs and no one on.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 09:35 AM) I showed you numbers that showed that violence has been dropping at a drastic rate, countering your source (which I mocked). You mocked my source only. Do you dispute that things are getting better there? Do you disagree that things are improving? Why should the US not help ourselves, and a potential ally, in an area where we have very few. He is also one of the few in the area standing up to Chavez. Or do you think Hugo is a good guy? They have decreased. Only 17 trade unionists have been assassinated this year. The most dangerous country for a trade unionist to live in. The fear that people have in joining a union shows. The country is down to 3 percent union membership. A country where many work in sweat shop like conditions. This is classic. He stands up to the evil communist. It dosen't matter how he treats his own people as long as he stands up to Hugo Chavez. Much like Augusto Pinochet, who we supported. He also stood up to the evil commies. I don't support Hugo Chavez, but I won't support someone who has an atrocious worker rights record just because he is against Hugo Chavez.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 08:43 PM) Ok, first, i don't think you could have found a more biased article if it bit you in the ass and said howdy. Look at the article you posted. 400 murders since he took office 5 years ago. How about it going from a high of 275 in 1996 down to 39 last year? How few does it need to be before it is ok? Zero? Because that would be an unrealistic goal anywhere. http://www.nypost.com/seven/04282008/posto..._lie_108526.htm But I guess working with a country trying to do the right thing is bad, so we should instead have lunch with Hugo. So linking an article by a union website is biased, but not the New York Post? A newspaper that referred to Senator Barack Obama as "Osama" (Bin Laden). Ok.

The weather looks bad for today and something tells me the Twins are happy to get out of Chicago.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 11:17 AM) inks a Free Trade agreement with Columbia. This will now help the CANADIAN economy, instead of the AMERICAN economy, all thanks to some American unions twisting the sacks of the Democratic politicians they control. You would think the unions here would welcome the opportunity for increased business. I guess not. You would think that with the rampant anti-Americanism in South America that the US government would be anxious to have a pro-American ally in the area in Columbia. I guess not. Dems like Pelosi would rather pal around with Hugo Chavez than engage a pro democracy country like Columbia. http://www.reportonbusiness.com/servlet/st...y/Business/home So you have no problem with things like this. You should never reward murder. http://www.teamster.org/08news/nr_080515_5.asp

How can you grade a baseball draft this early? I just don't understand that. It seems that people grade on if they liked the players. What if KW jr is the next Curtis Granderson. Nobody knows, I think you should wait 5 years to grade a draft.

I think Bud is high.

The audio phone is the most awful thing ever.

Wow the Rays first! You don't see that to often.

It looks like the storm system should be passed by game time.

I saw a interview with Henry Rollins who was able to get a visa to get into Iran. He said the people over there really like America, especially the younger kids. He got to eat dinner with your average working class Iranian family and he said they were more worried about paying bills and the daily grind than hating America or Israel.

I think that Pflager speach was dumb, he was trying to be funny and it really wasn't. This however dosen't compare to religious fanatics like pastor Hagee, who praises Hitler and thinks that homosexuality is ruining the world. Mccain was proud to have the support of Hagee, but he didn't go to his chuch so it's ok. You don't see many Pastor Hagee videos on Fox.

Dotel is gonna k 200 this year.

Maybe it's more than meets the eye.

I heard google was communist. No wonder every time I type in a search it takes me to Lenin's mypsace page.

I think Jenks and Nathan are underrated, but not that bad.

It's not like Quentin has been in the league 10 years and all the sudden he is gonna hit 40 bombs after averaging 5 a year or something. This man must be jealous of the Q and all his greatness.

I've gone past drinking coffee. I just grind it up and sniff it.

I'd say the Volquez/Hamilton deal worked pretty well for both teams. Who would you rather have?

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ May 22, 2008 -> 03:51 PM) LOL that was pretty great. The moment JD hit that you knew it was gone. Duck, beer stand guys under the kids deck! BTW: does Hawk have any stories--ANY--that aren't about... him? Geez last night I swear every story was "Well when I PLAYED back in 1947..." (or whatever it was). Me, me, me. So tired of that guy. He also has 634 stories about YAZ.
