I used to hate Wise so much... ...it's funny how not having Ozzie mangle lineups every day changes your perspective of things

Whew, held my breath on that weak grounder, that inning could've been devastating. 2-2

Not happy with Crain right now but he's right, what the f*** were you thinking AJ? That was an easy DP.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) This bullpen is turning into a nightmare. "turning into"?

MOTHERf***ER

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 09:12 PM) Oblique bothering him again? This is how he pitched when it was hurting him earlier in the year. He's locating slightly better now, he's not throwing 2 feet off the zone now

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) I must admit I do like these Orioles uni's. The white ones are decent but I prefer the black tops

Crain is all over the place

holy s*** Soxbadger actually used the quote function.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 07:47 AM) The Obama camp makes fun of it themselves selling "Made in America: shirts and mugs with his pic and that caption on it, and specifically reference the issue in the description. So what is it, you can only joke about birterism if you are black, democrat or both? Unless you are going to be outraged at them joking about it as well, sound like some pretty ginned up rage to me. The Obama camp is laughing AT the Birthers because they're a bunch of idiots

Chen is on fire.

When I originally saw Romney's comment the first thing I thought was "yeah, that's because white people don't have to always worry about proving they belong." The concept is totally unfamiliar to Romney (and frankly most white people) and he probably doesn't even get why it's not funny, so I really doubt he was actually making a racist comment. But seriously, that's what that means.

Tigers had a great week, and fell back a game.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 05:32 PM) Gordon's BABIP is .252 That confirms my theory that when he puts the ball in play, he's got s*** luck. Guys who suck have low BABIP. 2009 BABIP .290 avg .270 (difference of 20 points) 2010 BABIP .297 avg .252 (difference of 45 points) 2011 BABIP .276 avg .230 (difference of 46 points) 2012 BABIP .251 avg .229 (difference of 22 points) When his average goes down his BABIP goes down (except 2009-2010). For one season? Yeah bad luck, maybe (BABIP is an over-cited stat for hitters, I think). But for 3 years? Nah that's just suck.

Can someone explain what the f*** that was?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 11:03 PM) Quit your f***ing b****ing about comments then. You need to settle down.

What the f***? I look up and the Sox are losing a game they should've won easily. Ummm...? What just happened?

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 02:05 PM) Obviously this is online as well. But I'd encourage you all to buy the most recent Atlantic for Ta-Nehisi Coates' Fear of a Black President article. Much props to the magazine for giving that much space. It was incredible. Wow it's very long but it's pretty amazing.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 02:24 PM) Willard Mitt Romney, 8/24/12, in Michigan. And the crowd, of course, went wild. Soooo nobody questioned the citizenship of a 65-year old white man? Go figure! It's not like that's almost entirely the point or anything.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 09:32 PM) MJD and his agent want it both ways. "Do you want your money now, or later?" "Yes"

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 09:37 PM) Well it seems pretty clear that lostfan was talking specifically about Todd Akin's statements on abortion, so I'm not sure what he should be stopping. He tried to back up his belief that abortion shouldn't be allowed in the case of rape and just sounded like a complete tool and he was talking out of his ass. But for the most part, if he hadn't sounded so f***ing dumb, a statement like that is pretty non-controversial for Republicans and wouldn't have made any noise.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 09:35 PM) About abortion, sure, about anything else, hell no, so stop it. I don't know what else you could see me talking about... Akin said it like a complete dumbass and invented his own version of biology, but aside from that, what he said with regards to abortion and rape is basically part of the GOP platform and has been for as long as I can remember.

Where's J4L to pimp out the Orioles?

MJD is acting like a b**** right now with the public talk of disrespect and such. His agent is Adisa Bakari, Forte's agent, so it's probably not a coincidence. He wants a new deal, when he's already received one. The Jaguars bet on him becoming a highly productive running back which is why they gave him a $9 million signing bonus and guaranteed the first two years of his contract (17.5 million) in a FRONT-LOADED contract. So now that he's collected all of it, he wants to get another payday, because he's special, I guess. It doesn't work like that, you already had your payday.

Todd Akin's statement wasn't a "gaffe" or a "mistake." It's the official position of the GOP.
