It's like arguing with a woman - you ain't gonna win. No matter how right you are - you ain't gonna win.

Mike Winters should not get fired. Umps have to be 'on' 162 days a year, for 3+ hours a night. It's impossible to be a perfect umpire. It's impossible to navigate a whole season without saying something they shouldn't to a player. This was Mike's moment.

Also, why fire him? I doubt there will be a better behaved umpire in the league in 2008.

But liberal earth-crimes don't stop there.

Think about it. Why are most of the red states called 'fly-over' states? Well, it's because the liberals on the coasts literally fly in massive smog spewing, earth killing jumbo-jets from coast to coast. When I lived in Ohio, most of my friends had never been on a plane. When I got to my Ivy League school, many of my new lefty friends had already criss-crossed the world, not exactly on foot. Carbon footprints as big as daddy's wallet.

The bottled water thing is also a joke. Drink out of the damn tap. Really?! Who do you think you are?

I heard Demi Moore only takes showers in Evian. She doesn't like conservatives - or conservation for that matter. She has no problem flying water from France so she can shower 3 times a day. Her boy-toy drives a half-semi truck wherever he goes because he thinks it is cool. Ever heard of gas milage, Ashton?

Kanye "George Bush hates black people" West flies around the world every week. Spewing CO2. As does Bono and Madonna.

Nancy Pelosi's first act as Speaker of the House was to request a larger jet to fly her back and forth from Cali to Washington. She couldn't be hassled with a refueling stop.

Jumbo-jet enthusiast John Travolta hates republicans, and apparently clean air.

Don't worry liberals, you guys are hip. Hip-ocritical.

You are right. 99.99% of us can work years on end without saying anything offcolor to anyone.

A big-league baseball field is not cubicle-land. Charles, most people would probably would get canned at work if they called someone a 'piece of shit.' - I grant you that. But, most offices don't have cubicle-clearing brawls twice a year, or have people arguing at the top of their lungs inches away from other people's faces.

Or, maybe, your office is just a lot different than mine.

Is Vince McMahon your boss?

No tellin' how many homers he lost.

No tellin how many homers he gained due to the use and abuse of anobolic steroids.

Plus, no tellin' how many Joe D lost playing in huge ol' Yankee Stadium.

Mike Vick. There's a heaven for a G.

download some 2pac, then you'll get the reference (albeit a unrelated and unneccessary reference)

Wes - lets not do the whole steroid argument today. I just started a cycle of deca and I don't want to hear about it.

;^@

another reason why baseball is so great.

It goes from - who cares, this is boring.

To - oh wow, this is soo exciting.

IN TWO DAYS.

If that doesn't prove anything, there is nothing which needs to be proven.

And where did she learn to write? (do they offer night courses?)

Great job!

First baseman Carlos Delgado told WFAN, “I think at times we can get a little careless. We’ve got so much talent I think sometimes we get bored.”

Other team leaders concurred.

“We have so much talent that sometimes we relax a little bit and then we get ourselves in trouble,” said Pedro Martinez in the Dolphin Stadium locker room.

“Sometimes when you’re a team as talented as we are—I don’t know if I’d use the word ‘bored,’ but I guess you can get complacent sometimes,” said Tom Glavine. “You don’t pay attention to details every now and then because you do have a ton of talent and think you can on most days do everything you wanna do.”

Have you ever heard a team discuss their 'talent' as much as this year's Mets? They have a dance for everything. Reyes pouted like a little baby for the last 3 weeks.

And Willie must be fired. (I'm a Reds fan, so I don't really care, but, this guy needs to go). The first batter of the game. FIRST BATTER OF THE GAME walked on 3 balls. Willie didn't argue. I can let it slide if it's mid-July and the game is out of reach and it's the 7th inning. But, it was the game of the year - and it was the first batter. Pay attention. That was the most ridiculous moment of a ridiculous day in Queens. Willie really set the stage with his incompetence. Can you imagine Casey Stengal or Lou Piniella letting that fly? In the first inning of the most important game of the year?

as much as i like phil mushnick - we need to shut up.

I'm sick and tired of hearing this, "whaaa, (insert station) is so bad at covering (insert sports event)."

Shut your mouth, and watch a game. If you are so fed up with it - buy a ticket. Or listen to the game on the radio.

Like this whole Joe Morgan thing. He knows more baseball than you. You can't believe it. Then you think about it. He won some world series. He is in the Hall of Fame. Well, he should know more than me, but, whhaaa Joe Morgan sucks. STFU.

Whaaaa, I couldn't hear (insert announcer) because the crowd was cheering. Even though (insert announcer) sucks, and I don't want to hear them anyway.

Is it really that bad people?

Indians looked good. Some serious BOMBS into the ohio night. Fausto Carmona - sweet name.
