Cheech Tremendous

Perhaps this is true, but most of them don't advertise it.

What was even more baffling is that they never once mentioned that it was non-title in the build-up. I don't even remember when they finally acknowledged it as such. Was it after Piper won?

Mazeroski's home run is the definitive World Series moment. Classic ending to one of the best games ever played. Not only is it an egregious error to leave it off the list, it should win. Game 7 from 2001 is probably the best from my lifetime. That or Joe Carter's walk-off.

It's times like these that I really miss Socksquatch. FART.

Huckabee's email is filled with a bunch of empty rhetoric about the fat cats getting fatter and the common man getting screwed, which only shows that he has a fundamental misunderstanding of the current economic crisis. Guess what? I don't give a flying fuck about saving the "big banks." But I, the middle class employee of a small firm, will probably lose my job unless this bailout (or something similar) goes through. Our country's economy is built on credit and the availability of credit. If that goes away, we're screwed and no stupid fair tax will bring it back.

Banks > Foreclosed "homeowners" First of all, until the entire mortgage is paid off, the bank that issued the mortgage is the "homeowner". The "homeowner" in your case is merely the "resident". The economic impact of a few people getting their homes foreclosed is trumped by a couple of major banks going bankrupt. We're talking about a complete shutdown of the economy if the a couple of the key important banks fail. Everyone always mentions that the FDIC insures everyones money (up to a certain point) but the cold hard truth is the FDIC doesn't have enough money to cover the collapse of more than a handful of large banks at once. Past that point, all hell will break loose. No one wants that to happen, which is why the banks have to be helped out. I dont like it anymore than the next person, but at least Im informed enough to know that we can't just say no to a bailout/rescue effort of the banks unless we want a complete crash of the US economy within the next couple of weeks. You can blame anyone and everyone for the events that led up to today, but you have got to help out the banks somehow. Holy shit, I actually agree with Marvin. This has to be his most coherent post ever.

NL Cy Young: Tim Lincecum, Johan Santana, or other? Defend your pick.

And the food is cooked by convicts! Can't beat that.

I've seen some extremely smart people get burned by bad mortgages they got during the recent housing boom. It's not as cut and dry as the media is making it out to be. The assertion that people were buying more than they could afford is technically true, but it wasn't exactly presented that way to them in the first place. Blame should fall at the hands of the mortgage brokers first, not the uninformed buyers. I don't quite get the analogy to gambling.

All political rhetoric aside, going back to Washington to help fix our economy is a hell of a lot more important than some debate.

People think the Steelers have a chance because they are the better football team.

Yeah, I got it.

Unless you lose them in an old thread, I'm not sure that he will be much help.

And if they don't?

Matt Millen, Isiah Thomas and Bill Bavasi all get canned in the same year. Is the era of horrible front office decisions coming to a close... Probably not, but still, this is fantastic news. Detroit deserves so much better.

ESPN reporting that Omar Minaya is getting a contract extension. Four more years of bad bullpens on the way EDIT: Sry, didn't see Strummer's post

TSM, naturally

Just started in on this season, but I'm going to get Season 1 soon as a I have a chance.

I don't know why, but Czech's life absolutely fascinates me. You guys can keep Milky, it's the Czech stories I want to hear.

I just started watching recently, but it's great. I'd highly recommend it.

Trent Green is still in the league? There are so many awful teams this year. Detroit, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Cleveland, St. Louis... EDIT: So when I read that Green was starting earlier, I was kind of like "oh, I didn't even know that Bulger was hurt." Then I read he's not actually hurt. Linehan actually wants to start Green. What the hell? Wasn't it like a decade ago that the Rams moved on from the Trent Green era? He's really the guy that you want to hang your franchise's future on? Hopefully he doesn't get concussed walking onto the field.

I don't see how Marbury could possibly fit into a backcourt that already has Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby. I don't think he's in contention for a starting job anywhere. Wouldn't the most likely scenario be joining a contending veteran team that needs some bench scoring? Oddly enough, San Antonio and Phoenix are a couple of places that come to mind.

I was warned for being a Raiders fan. Haven't we suffered enough?

Someone needs to "right this ship."
