OK, they won ugly tonight.
We left a ton of runners on base-
Couldn't lay down a bunt-
Our leadoff man went 0 for 4-
They won on TB's horrible errors-
But now they are a game and half up on the Twinkies and only 4 and half behind Detroit. I'll take them anyway we can get em. It would be nice to get the sweep before having to play a suddenly hot KC and the Red Sox at Boston...

Seems like just yesterday doesn't it? I mean like when you were in the race....

LOL. At least we were in the race. And as a matter of fact, it was yesterday.
It must really suck knowing your team is out of the race at allstar break.
Last time I checked, the Republicans still had the White House, Senate, and Congress. DemocRATs always imagine that they still have power even when they are losers.

"Last time I checked, the Republicans still had the White House, Senate, and Congress."
Which is why they should take responsibility for this mess.

Failures? Responsibility? You mean like voting against every defense appropriation, new armaments, or military defense system? Maybe it was by letting Bin Ladin go 1998, by not responding to the first bombing of the WTC, the bombing of our embassy in Kenya, or the bombing of the USS Cole?. Could it be by raising middle class taxes after promising not to do so?
Nope, can't been any of that.
But maybe it was by watching the ATF and FBI to pump a compound full of flamable gas and burning all the the kids inside. Maybe it was the finance committee hearing where the key official said they'd lie to their own diary after subpeona. It couldn't have been where they put the ATF and heavy artillary around a house in little Havana to send a child back to Cuba. Naw. It couldn't be law firm records found in the White House, or classified FBI documents being smuggled in out of the Federal building (Berger, or is it "Burgler", did say he was sorry). It couldn't be 20 or so dead personal associates while in office , or illegal secret closed door meetings on nationalized health care.
Wow, I feel safer already. The DemocRATs take no responsibility for ANY of that.

Like I said, it must REALLY suck knowing your team is out of the race at allstar break. :)
Thought you might enjoy this. :)
Don't you just love it. Not ONE post of a single fact by the Lefty and they accuse YOU of propaganda! How easy it must be to be a Lefty these days. Just ignore ALL factual reality and scream slogans.
You presented facts, he presented absolutely nothing. And as expected, they keep repeating themselves when they have nothing to say...."friends don't let friends vote Republican"
I'll be at the mariners - white sox game on thursday night.
Well, look who their representatives are in the Senate...Dick Turbin and Osama Obama...
You lucky dog you! Ah well, I will be watching it on mlb.com as usual. :)
The Twins are only a game and a half behind the Tigers and the White Sox are down by 6 I think.
Lefties, remind me of "the Old Man" in Robocop when he says;
"We don't need a solution, we just need someone to blame"

My God, I think I may be from Chicago! I scored about 34 despite never having lived there.
I grew up across "The Lake" in Michigan !!
I know that 1060 W Addison is Wrigley Field because Jake and Elwood told me so. It has nothing to do with being from Chicago.
They were on a mission from God.
Well we had a great time. My nephew works for a company that does computer work for the white sox so we got a free dinner in the white sox club/stadium level seating for free. That was nice....our seats were in the 5th row along the right field foul poll and right next to the white sox bullpen. The Sox got clobbered 9-0 but we did get a baseball from one of the guys in the sox bullpen. Lots of fun!
Sounds great. The best I can do is make it to a Dodger game out here. A fine team and fans, but a poor substitute for the team I grew up with. Only a few games left now. :(
