Link A good sign that Tom DeLay doesn’t have the facts on his side: the top source for his latest defense against his critics is Stephen Colbert. This morning, DeLay’s legal defense fund sent out a mass email criticizing the movie “The Big Buy: Tom DeLay’s Stolen Congress,” by “Outfoxed” creator Robert Greenwald. The email features a “one-pager on the truth behind Liberal Hollywood’s the Big Buy,” and the lead item is Colbert’s interview with Greenwald on Comedy Central (where Colbert plays a faux-conservative, O’Reilly-esque character). The headline of the “fact sheet”: Hollywood Pulls Michael Moore Antics on Tom Delay Colbert Cracks the Story on Real Motivations Behind the Movie DeLay thinks Colbert is so persuasive, he’s now featuring the full video of the interview at the top of the legal fund’s website. And why not? According to the email, Greenwald “crashed and burned” under the pressure of Colbert’s hard-hitting questions, like “Who hates America more, you or Michael Moore?” Apparently the people at DeLay’s legal fund think that Colbert is actually a conservative. Or maybe they’re just that desperate for supporters.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ May 26, 2006 -> 10:31 AM) Keeping good players / signing free agents / signing good draft picks means success on the field. Not always but it doesn't hurt.

QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ May 26, 2006 -> 09:54 AM) That said, Ramon Colon looked pretty good yesterday filling in for Mike who couldn't even last past the first out of the first inning. It's always impressive to shut down the Royals offense.

QUOTE(bighurt574 @ May 26, 2006 -> 09:45 AM) Luckily for the Cubs, they sold most of their tickets before the season started. If the Sox can make another deep playoff run while the Cubs continue to flounder, next year you might see the attendence numbers get pretty close. Probably not.

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ May 26, 2006 -> 09:18 AM) All three suspensions are scheduled to begin on Friday, when the White Sox are at Toronto and the Cubs host Atlanta. If appealed, the suspensions of Anderson and Barrett will be held in abeyance until the process is complete. Might as well start Brian's now. Makowiak is hot right now anyway.

QUOTE(SnB @ May 26, 2006 -> 09:08 AM) probably for what he did while he was going to the dugout (getting the crowd into it, etc) How is that a fineable offense? I don't get it.

WTF is AJ getting fined?

I can live with those suspensions although I would have preferred 12-15 for Barrett.

I'm getting anxious. When are they announcing this $hit?

Alright. I'm done watching this train wreck.

I think the Royals have a great shot at coming back in this one. *puts down crack pipe*

What a pathetic team the Royals are. Oh man.

Winning run on 1st.

Top of the order for the Royals!! Hope the fans aren't doing the wave. They may miss an exciting ending.

You never know. Royals may get this last out and get a lucky run in their half. Who am I kidding? QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 25, 2006 -> 03:58 PM) Its pretty hard not to expect to win against the Royals. Everybody beats the Royals. see 2006 White Sox and Indians

Another come from behind win for the Tigers. They can't do anything wrong these days.

Royals are being the Royals once again.

Any chance Hannahan is given an opportunity to go 0-5?

Ambiorix sux.

Tying runner to the plate.

4 more outs. I give it a 50/50 chance that the Royals win.

QUOTE(pcullotta @ May 25, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) 2006 = 84.0% (so far) 84%? Isn't ESPN's capacity for USCF still based on the pre-modifications to the UD? Even when we have a sellout the % full number is not near 100%. QUOTE(pcullotta @ May 25, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) It's also important to remember that we always draw much better once we get into June and the weather is always warm. Couldn't you say that about any team?

Tigers have Maggs and Shelton as pinch hitters.
