Bush always doing what's right
darkstar replied to tongue-tied lightning's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
Yeah, thanks Eyeball....I hear that. Hey I'm all for the research....just saying you know stuff like this gets people crazy. I'm willing to wager that Bush's decision wasn't based on any moral or ethical thinking, he's just pandering for votes from the Christian Conservative types. Even though he is not up for re-election he still needs their good graces to get his agenda passed. Typical politico....they don't give a shit, just want to get votes -

darkstar replied to tongue-tied lightning's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
That's crazy talk! Didn't mean to hijack the thread with humor.....lotta questions about this whole thing. And of course anytime there is the question of ethics and morality a lot of emotions get raised. It's hard to look at without getting conflicting thoughts. Sure I am all for medical research and using stem cells to erradicate horrible conditions and disease, but would I want (just using my twisted thinking here folks, don't get upset...it's just a what if..) some crazy scheme going on where we had hundreds of breeders incubating embryos for that purpose? Lots of questions...and of cour -

Interesting questions you bring about....good post and obviously Keef gets the new liver before Crosby -
Nah...give it a while to fester....it may take a few hours then...

Well...it ain't Chicago, but check out Gruhn Guitars in Nashville. WWW.Gruhnguitars.com It's a pretty famous kinda place. They have all sorts of vintage stuff. Kinda pricey though. Like I said it's not Chicago, but it is only a 45 minute flight on Southwest Airlines away. They have a lot of stuff, and most of it can be seen online.

Well, as far as that ad goes, how many people are gonna get dissed at a park, go down to the local Hummer dealer and blow 40K just like that. I mean, I get the ad and all, and they are selling the idea that having a Hummer just makes everything better...It's kind of silly In general though with the yuppie thing...get real I have a ton of friends like that, you know the American Dream thing and all, and pretty much every one of them is dealing with some kind of serious fuck up in their life. I congratulate anyone that remains mostly sane these days. And no I'm certainly not passing judgement,

Damn, I'm sorry I can't remember what the hell it was called or what channel it was on. It was really interesting stuff. I know it was on a national type network, it wasn't local. Like I said maybe Discovery or one of those channels. This guy James has turned around the conventional wisdom. Nowadays not rare to see a slow guy leading off, they play for on base percentage now. Talks about how the worst thing to do is give away an out, for example James doesn't see the payoff in sacraficing a guy, etc, etc. Christ If I can remember the name of it I'll let you know.

I saw that Mom-Kid ad yesterday. Amazing. What's the message? Life gotcha down? Can't deal? well shit, buy a Hummer. Then every little ting gonna be allright Mon! My pet peeve is these yuppie couples, with the perfect house, the perfect kids, the perfect jobs, the perfect bank account, fucking Stepford Wife shit there. Show a little reality. Behind that perfect facade you know Mom has a bit of a coke or booze problem, Dad is humping his secretary, and little junior is gonna be in dire need of about $50K worth of therapy. It's all a bunch of shite I tell ya!

Talking about stats, I caught a bit of a program that was on this past weekend...I want to say it was on Discovery or something like that. It was all about how stats are now being used instead of "traditional" baseball methods. How the new breed of Sabermetrics guys are re-thinking traditional managerial moves. Was pretty interesting stuff. Of course they highlighted stat geek number one Bill James, whom, of course consults for the BoSox so there's a lot of Terry Francona and Red Sox players interviewed.....anyways it was a pretty interesting show. Wish I could remember what I saw it on.

Too funny Wake up the Babe! The only thing funnier than that comment he made was watching him throw down Don Zimmer back in '03. The Gerbil was in tears...You know Bill Lee was laughing his ass off somewhere and doin' a bong hit

http://www.chromewaves.net/mp3/Wilco-Impos...2006-07-03).mp3 In light of all the postings regarding Impossible Germany here is the version from Summerfest on July 5. This version has the jam at the end so you can compare it to the earlier posted version from July 10th with the jam in the middle. I know, I know it's an MP3 version but for those of us who don't have access to BT ( or can't figure out the torrent thing) this will suffice. There is a lot of crowd noise in this version so be warned. I've heard both and I think the jam is a bit more intense on the July 5th (at the end) but both

Thanks for the Impossible Germany link. Been hearing about this tune for a while but haven't heard yet. I really like this one, great solo, nice flow to it. Give the boys a chance the new albums gonna be just fine!!!!

Good sticky green bud Alcohol Red Sox Wilco My Dog

True, however the Italian goalie, Buffon (spelling?) has been implicated due to some possible illegal gambling on matches so.....who knows?
-
Well thanks very much for the info!!!!
-
Yeah.....do they stream the games? I thought there was some legal thing preventing them from doing so, so MLB can make $ selling packages over the internet. Thought they get blacked out. Anyways thanks for the link!
-
Shocking huh? I can't think of anything quite like it. A world class player in his final game, with a world cup on the line, in front of a billion people loosing his shit like that. I wonder what the Italian guy said to him that got him so worked up.

Baseball kinda "sounds" better on radio wish I could get WEEI here in Nashville...too cheap to spring for the sat. radio

The Hawk is a douchebag, no doubt. I remember him calling Red Sox games when I was a kid for channel 38 outta Boston, and I didn't like him then. He's gotten worse over the years. That "He gone" shit he does is innane and simply stupid. However...keep in mind that the team has ultimate approval over who calls their games and obviously Chisox mgmt likes him. You have to expect some bias on the home teams play by play guys. I'm sure all us Bosox fans will remember the great Johnny Most who called Celtics games forever. That guy was one of the worst "homer" play by play guys ever. Larry Bird woul

That's crazy talk. Big Papi blasts game winning homer of Jenks causing Guillen to explode in rage and make anti-hispanic comments. Still in pique of rage Guillen then benches Ortiz in all star game to show him who's boss. After MLB suspends Guillen for life he moves back to Venezuala and becomes Hugo Chaves' minister of foreign relations, wins Nobel peace prize for his efforts against homosexual discrimination. BOSOX take this series.

Ought to be an interesting game. First time in hundreds of years the French have advanced on Munich, will they just lay down and surrender? As for Italy, if they can quit flopping to the ground and grabbing their knees in agony everytime someone gets remotely close to them they may have a shot. Fucking great actors the Azzuri. By the way Germany beats the shit out of Portugal in the 3rd place game.

Jeeeeezus no kidding right? wow...I forgot troop is on there now...been away for a long time I guess. Coleman was on when I was a youngstah!

Yeah, thanks Kat. I know. Every friggin year I make a note to get the package and then I frigging forget. I'll order it after the all-star break, I think it's half price then. I watch every game I can on ESPN or FOX (though I friggin hate McCarver and Buck). The only thing is that if the Sox are the visitor you get the home team feed. I love the NESN guys but hell, if I can see the boys what the frig right? Was hillarious listening to WEEI yesterday, all the callers, then Schillings bit on the "Dennis and Callahan" show. Ya gotta love the dudes calling in claiming to be experts then you find
-
Dang! you get tix today for that and it's a miracle. Sawx are firing on all cylinders now. Got to see the game Monday on NESN (was up in Mass for a client visit), sometimes I miss living up there, but when February rolls around I love living in Nashville. Was good though to visit. Finally gotta good pizza and got to hear Sean and Rem-dog on the NESN. Hope Petey gets a good ovation today and no boos.

You are correct sir! also to Note: Cy holds the record for most wins all time at 511 but also the record for most losses as well with 313 no way anyone gets close these days, what with a 5 man rotation and going 6-7 strong innings is considered a quality start
