I read that report today on AK.

His batting skills disappeared faster male libido at a Rosie O’Donnell convention.

you've been saving that one, haven't you?
Nope...right off th top of my head (not the kind of expression a bald guy should use).

I blame the Cabernet Sauvignon.

yeah the Cab will do that to ya

lol

I could have said faster than...

tax dollars in the hands of a Democratic congress, or Democratic state legislature, or Democratic whatever…but that would have been unfair to AK. There is absolutely NOTHING that could disappear that fast!

hahahahahaha

you’re a good man, sothball. a good man indeed.

You guys must be "finding your voice."
No...I'm trying to find my wallet so i can hide it.
Don't worry, it's already empty...

it was used by Bush to invade Iraq and pay corporations to keep them afloat. Next time you go over a pot-hole flip off the nearest WAMU branch – they got the money that could have been used for something useful…

no no no

it was used by the Congress to make sure all those bank execs had a great vacation.
having no oversight on that money was a BRILLIANT idea. thanks, Pelosi and Reid.

Bingo........

congress…..

Yeah...

Paulson didn’t have ANYTHING to do with it…

gimme a break

stop trying to deflect the blame on this one… it lies squarely on the shoulders of our “let’s throw money we don’t have at the problem and hope it goes away” congress.

Who was clamoring for a bailout?

I blame the congress for not writing better legislation, for sure. But they were basically extorted to write legislation NOW and save the world…

Anyway, I don’t disagree that the congress blew this one – but failing to acknowledge that “W” and Paulson were the impetus for the Financial bailout is foolish, or ignorant. Not sure which.

How ’bout them Halos?

who was clamoring for the bailout??

try Pelosi, Reid and Barney effing Frank! Bush didn’t have power during his last 2 years… the Congress was Democrat-controlled. he had to do whatever they wanted.

the first bailout came because of the Congress, though I do blame Bush for actually signing the thing.

what’s your excuse for this one?

Paulson was bitching to everyone who would listen...

about needing to “take in the toxic debt”. The Dems in congress should have said, “screw you”, but they probably thought that it needed to happen because they were extorted into thinking that inaction would cripple the economy. The TARP fund has been terribly mismanaged by all – can we agree on that?

As for Bush not having power for 2 years – if the Dems could get what they wanted why didn’t they get a significant draw down of troops from Iraq? Shoot, why couldn’t they get timelines imposed on the Iraqi government so that if X, Y and Z wasn’t met the troops would come home?

Bush had power – all that law breakin’ power he used for eight years – and he and the doltish Republicans in the congress didn’t allow floor votes on things like I mentioned because they had enough votes to filibuster. That, my friend is power!

So, while the Dems were in “control” they didn’t have a supermajority to push their agenda forward w/o Republican help, which they got none of…

As for this Bailout – I am for it, minus the tax cuts. I am all for spending mad money on infrastructure improvements. This country is over $2 trillion behind in infrastructure upkeep – it’s high time that shit gets done. The downturn gives a good opportunity for government to kill two birds with one stone…

Frank was vocal about the Auto

bailout – which was minimal in comparison. I don’t recall him with regard to the TARP fund. But, I’ll take your word for it…

Bingo........

congress…..

typical biased opinion...........
One word buddy

Scoreboard!

hey nobody tell me what happens

i’m taping it for later. :P

I hopr the commercials were better in 2002...

E-surance?
Oh well…there’s always Cal Worthington…

Has Big Poopi put on a hundred pounds since 2002?

or does he just look fat in that Bahstin uniform?

it's the extra douchebag weight he's carrying now.

it comes standard with the Boston uniform.

Yeah that's right...standard issue for the Sux...
Maybe he got some "advice" from A-Rod???
Damn I missed that game when it was on in 2002

Looks like I’m gonna miss it again.

Torii still hits the pop-up outs like he used to.
...and there goes #2...
Just tuned in ...

to see it. Priceless

Well..

Priceless would also be Pershizyski sustaining a career ending injury in this series.
It would have saved a whole lotta hate.

Hey Rev...that 2nd home run hit close to your seats. Were you there?
I was there but not in my seats

I did not buy the postseason package – this was the only game of that postseason that i saw in person, sat in lower view 3B side by the camera well.

i really liked Brad Fulmer, always trying to kill the ball.
I agree.

The trio of Wooten, Spezio, and Fullmer rotating between 1B and DH was really effective in 2002.

I was living in Japan during this time

and listened to the games on the radio. Never really knew how loud them stiks could get. They would mix them out of the broadcast so we only had a faint feel for the noise.

That lady had the wrong animal

she was choking her monkey

can you do that on TV?
As long as he Monkey doesn't mind...
She did it at the Sun Bowl in ElPaso
KRod walked a guy in a clutch situation?

weird… that never happens.

Passed Ball

Ah the Bengie Molina apologists never mention that part of his game…

man I dont have FSW......this blows
6+ years later, it still gives me goosebumps...

3 home runs in a clinching playoff game. Wow!!

Awesome!

The go ahead 3-runner off Johan! An 0-2 pitch nonetheless, up and away hanger!

Was at this game

Forgot about it being on last night. Damn.

I sat in the last row terrace wheelchair accessible seats. You know, the ones where you can’t see anything hit more than 30 feet above the ground…some homies from the ’hood were standing next to me during most of the game, they claim they snuck in, but nobody cared. I ended up having a “bro moment” with a couple of them when we won that game.
