Awesome! So cute.

The MLB.tv blackout restrictions are pretty strict though -- there are people who live in states with no team that MLB considers to be in the market of like 5. It's lame. Anyway, I found a Tampa zipcode at random and checked it on the MLB.tv site and it looks as though Tampa isn't in the Marlins market, but I'm actually sort of surpised. This is the blackout map:

No no no. Because some details are still being debated, the whole thing is bunk. Obviously.

McCain is easily the least principled politician to run for President in my lifetime (or at least to get the nomination -- Romney probably tops him overall). He used to be so principled and respectable, but in the last few years, as he's become more and more desperate to be president, he's given up on all of that.

Thank you. He doesn't actually specify that he's talking about Republicans in that clip though. He was probably referring to 527s, but I'm just guessing.

I never read HuffPo. And I read a wide variety of media. Liberal, conservative and otherwise. But you know everything about me. Still would love to see a link to either a video or at least some sort of mention of Obama making that comment though.

I mean, regardless, it's true. I just don't recall him ever saying it.

Link?

Link?

He was still a great sign for the Tigers a few years ago, but his value lied as much in legitimizing them as an organization worth playing for as it was his actual on the field skills (though at the time he still had some left in the tank). I love Pudge, but he had all his best years well before he came to Detroit.

As far as I've heard there aren't any plans to bring him up, but who knows. He's apparently dominating A-ball. He was terrible at the plate last year, and is only slightly better this year (and on pace for pretty much exactly the same OPS+ as in 2006). I will give him credit for taking a few more walks, but he's still not very selective. I'd say that his offense is negligably better this year than last year, and that his defense is similar if not slightly worse this year. He's a million miles from who he was 10 (or even 5) years ago. He is perhaps still valuable in managing young pit

Jesse being a cranky dude, plus O'Reilly looking for another chance to go after him.

Oh, I don't think they're out of it at all. Three weeks ago I did. They've got a lot left in the tank though and over the last month or so have been pretty good. They do need some bullpen help, though if Rodney and Zumaya find their strides they could be okay. I wouldn't mind seeing them make a move for a back of the rotation pitcher or some solid relief help though.

Pudge has been getting reduced time anyway. I really don't know who would be interested in him and his hefty contract at this point. He really doesn't produce nearly as much as he used to. If anyone is getting traded, I would guess it would be Thames or Inge. Or possibly one of the young outfielders (Thomas and Joyce).

Or they call themselves Republicans, proceed to do a poor job of governing, and then point to their own poor performance as evidence that government doesn't work.

Also, there are 70 members of the Senate who have not been briefed on the program in question. So they didn't even know what it was that they were immunizing them for.

And some of the telecoms did not participate. Because they knew it was illegal.

Right, but some people here actually try to discuss issues and policy and stuff.

Glad to see both my old Senators in Michigan, and one Senator from here in Illinois (though not the one running for President) on that list.

bah

So true.

I saw STP twice -- In 2000 opening for RHCP, and again at the Rolling Rock Town Fair in 2001. Great live band. Not really a band that I've continued to listen to, but will always been a nostalgic favorite of mine.
