Maybe you just need to be a fan of teams like the Mets or Brewers (hi, Derrick!) to see that the closer role doesn't just run like happy clockwork.

I think the concern there wouldn't so much be that they weren't famous enough, but rather a question of how well they had been vetted. It's been a probkem before. Examples: McGovern's pick of Tom Eagleton and George Bush Sr picking that handicapped fellow. McCain & Oboma both performed well on the forum tonight. It's nice to see a Christian leader who actually concerns himself with those words printed in red.

Looks like this is going to be another unpleasant game.

Really reaching for something to complain about there.

Which way is that?

The VP nominee will speak on the 27th. Already scheduled for that day are Bill Clinton, Bill Richardson, Evan Bayh, Harry Reid, Jay Rockefeller, Joe Biden, Ken Salazar, Jim Clyburn, Patrick Murphy, and Tammy Duckworth. Will the nominee be among them or, with their speeches already scheduled, are all of those names out of the running?

I agree with you. However, I don't think Dean would have been on the losing end. He would not have played nice like Kerry did. In any case, Kerry was the guy that got all of those votes and he can bring all of that national recognition to the ticket. Since Czech already re-showed the dipshit fallacy of Marvin's first argument, I'll quickly expose the second. No losing presidential candidate has ever returned to run on a ticket as a veep. That would be a huge change. Obama can have an experienced candidate on his ticket; that will not disqualify the change message.

Like always, you're wrong. Kerry has clearly learned his lesson about playing nice with the opposition after 2004. He felt that the American people were too smart to believe that a man on the national stage could actually make up a fake military record. The voters of this country are plenty stupid to fall for something like that and they proved it. With that lesson learned, Kerry would now make a strong 'attack-dog' veep candidate. His experience, both in Congress and in Vietnam, would balance all that Obama lacks. He proved himself to be very popular with voters, as well. He received more votes than any Democrat in history in 2004. While I dont think it will actually happen (still sticking with Sam Nunn), it would be a very good pick. But, since I don't think Glen Beck has had time to drool about this one, why do you think it's dumb, Marvin? Here's your big chance to 'prove' a point all on your own!

Drudge is currently headlining with a rumor that John Kerry could be Obama's VP nominee.

Wow.

I don't think I'm going to begin to doubt the Cards' magical ability to somehow make the playoffs no matter who gets injured.

Sweet, a guy who still hasn't played a season followed by Parra, Dave Bush, the even-older Suppan, and Somebody Else! A rotation that will be questionable at best backed up by an unreliable bullpen. Hopefully Fielder, Braun, Hart, and Hall can hit 50 homeruns each and leadoff hitter Weeks can crack .240.

Yes, Ben Sheets will be gone next year, too.

1) I'd kinda like them to win when playing the hapless Padres with ASG starter Ben Sheets on the mound. 2) I'm not sure how much room for bitching about me you have with your above post concerning Bob Howry. The Brewers have a much weaker bullpen situation. Your in first place and have the best team in th NL, by far, what more do you want? 3) I'm playing off Czech's 'best team in the league but can never win' gimmick. What more do you want?

The incredible Cubs destroyed the Braves in that series. The Brewers lost to the Padres and now prepare to be swept out of Los Angeles. Another season sticking to the script.

Did you check the local nursing homes and truck stops?

You have a gift.

Manny Pacquiao will announce tomorrow if he will fight Oscar de la Hoya on in December. Edit- No need to wait, fight's not happening.

lol

I think it's the lobbyists/interests that control the agencies that concerns people.

Glen Beck explaining foreign affairs to people, and the people actually listening, is such a sad concept.

Your argument there would be stronger if anybody here had just once said that it was ok for McCain.

I always thought the facepalm thing (dumb to begin with) was supposed to be used when the other person is wrong?

Except at blocking for an injury-prone quarterback.
