Let's all just call our representatives and tell them how we feel about George Bush and the idea of him getting impeached.

Don't look now (and I'm sure it won't last the evening) but I'm half a point away from going from worst to first.

Is Harden on the hook for the runs that Calero gave up?

Saw that...  I'm having an up and down afternoon...

Arroyo throws 8 innings of 1-hit, shutout ball with 8 K's and 2 BB's and will earn his fourth win any minute now...

Isringhausen comes in and gives up a homerun in the ninth with 2 outs...
So now I'm hoping that he can somehow get a W out of it...  The good news is that Pujols is about to come up with 2 men on and one out in the bottom of the ninth.

Edit:  and Pujols just drove in the winning run - so my day just got a little better.

Honestly having a 'no politics' rule here is an honorable idea of a rule here. Unfortunately, it's seriously ineffective. I've seen so many breaches of that rule in my time here at JD(less than a year) and from what I noticed(including yesterday..) that you can have 2 differnet folks in here take the same 'political' stance on something in different threads and only one gets commented on-depends on your popularity I guess ::).

Every now and then, we'll let something political go as long as it doesn't turn into a republican vs. democrat kind of thing.  We don't want to be the iron clad destroyers of all threads serious in nature.  So things that are too overtly political get shut down, and the things - like this thread, which was posed as a call to arms no matter what your beliefs are, stay open.

But everyone watches this type of thing to make sure it doesn't cross any lines.

It's not a popularity contest.

Word has it Lucasland let Rayrob see a few early designs they were thinking about going with for these t-shirts, but he leaked them all in a chat room one night, and they were none too pleased about it.

But RayBob asked for all those anonymous people in that chat room, who could have been anyone, anywhere, with any motive and who'd never have to answer to him ever, to keep those t-shirt designs a secret.

So it's not his fault.

That's the one spot on my team that I'm very happy with.  Pouncing on Paplebon when he got his first save was my best move so far.  It took me awhile to get a few wins, so I'm behind in those - and strikeouts have been scarce.

Former Major League Baseball outfielder Derek Bell, shown in this Hillsborough County Sheriff's booking photograph, was arrested and charged Thursday morning April 20, 2006 with felony cocaine possession. A Tampa, Fla., police spokesman says Bell was pulled over for a traffic violation and was found with a crack pipe in the back seat of his car which was still warm. He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Bell was first drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987 and won the World Series with the team in 1992. He last signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2000. He also played for the San Diego Padres, New York Mets and Houston Astros.

What is it with former athletes always getting into trouble in my home town?

Arod - nice 9-1 Yankees, where was he?

That's how I feel about Teixiera - the Rangers keep blowing people up but all the Home Runs are coming from Nevin, Blaylock and Mench.

I'm sticking with him because he's got to come out of it eventually, but so far my #1 pick has been good for crap.

David Wright has been slumping pretty badly lately, and Scott Rolen was out... Matsui hasn't done very much lately either.  Even Andru Jones who started off very hot has been real quiet for about a week now.

Thank God for Tejada or I'd have no offensive production at all right now .

Saw Silent Hill - was pleasantly suprised with how good it actually was.

It had some a few flaws, but IMO it's definitely the best video game movie to date.

Probably because Uwe Boll and Paul W.S. Anderson had absolutely nothing to do with it.

**** - the Bolts got destroyed tonight... Should have been 8-5 (not that it matters) but the refs overturned a goal with 11 seconds left saying it was kicked in, it wasn't.

I hope they rebound in game 4 - but I'm not expecting much.

An upgrade at Goaltender should be priority #1 this offseason.

I'm wishing I was here for week one... I'd almost certainly be in second place and I'd be close to first if I wasn't sportnig a 1 game handicap.  There's also been one week since that I forgot to set a roster.

Quite frankly, Hasbro is a little bit underwhelmed by the subscription rate...er.... number of SW toys sold first quarter.

Sideshow is a nice example of someone taking a Hasbro licensed scale that has been on the market for 11 years and making it work- Give buyers a quality product with a clear way of purchasing it while it is desired, and watch it succeed.

Yeah, with a limited run of internet-only figures and a 150% price increase.  I had to jump right out of the 12" game when Sideshow took over - $50.00 plus shipping per?!

I'm thinking that gathering up a bunch of swapped out figures like that could make a really cool niche collection.  Although most of them are no where near as interesting as that pair.
