Any just and legal cause I can think of to kill Americans inside our borders could and should (IMHO) be handled by a living, breathing soldier. Whether it is by ground or air doesn’t make a difference to me. At the point in which our government feels the need to use military action to kill Americans inside our border, means we have bigger issues. Whom or what is doing the killing will not matter a bunch, really.

Much much better now. Definitely as fast if not faster than the old site. Cheetah fast Seriously, the new server IS the piece.

It's night and day different. Good job Chuck.

No, never

I wasn't concerned until I read Rally's posts. Now I'm confused and concerned.

Yeah Bourjos, that a boy

let the hit parade begin, F'n Jepsen

Maybe Dipoto is trying to break him

During the off season last year I wasn't as gung ho about the thought of signing CJ to a big contract as many were. I likened him to a Jerrod Washburn type. Maybe that was a little harsh, but we'll see. As it turned out, CJ was given a team friendly deal in my opinion, and might turn out to be better than a Washburn type. I was quite impressed with his first half numbers and firmly believe the bone spurs squashed what was going to be his best year to date. If anything, I think more highly of him for playing through the pain. Despite the poor second half, I’m glad we made the deal we did, and that he is a part of this team.

Thank you good sir

What time does the game start? Is it televised?

Uribe looks good

And he is showing us why

It will make gameday threads not nearly as much fun

Is it me, or does it take forever to refresh a page?

Jepsen is on fire

First let me say, I'm not on the fire anybody bandwagon. At best it would be extremely difficult if not impossible for any one of us to analyze with surety the effect Butcher is having on the pitching staff without us being involved in day to day operations. Same could be said for the batting or any other coach. It would seem to me that summarizing Butcher’s overall effectiveness using individual players is silly, but maybe that’s really all a coach can do. Hope he gets a handful of players at any given time to listen to his advice. One would think that with good coaching and the law of averages coming together, we would have seen a few reliable arms coming out of the pen since the Scott Shields days. Maybe the fault lies somewhere else, scouting perhaps? It sure seems something isn’t right. Take a look at the complete list of relief pitchers that have come up through our system or have little or no major league experience when they joined us. Of the list of pitchers below (which only covers the last three years), who if any have gone from serviceable to good? I’m curious to hear why that shouldn’t be a concern. Rafael Rodriguez Jordan Walden Sean O'Sullivan Brian Stokes Rich Thompson Trevor Bell Matt Palmer Jason Bulger Michael Kohn Bobby Cassevah Francisco Rodriguez Horacio Ramirez David Carpenter David Pauley Andrew Taylor Steve Geltz Kevin Jepsen Garrett Richards* Nick Maronde* * newbs The jury is still out on the bottom three, with Jepsen being the one who needs to finally show up on a consistent basis, or not.

Or a drone. It could take pictures and post them on your facebook, while it looks for terrorist.

Thanks, looks great

Awesome for me. I get to slack off and watch.

What time is the game on, and is it televised?

I'm gonna guess and say looking down

My vote at this point would go to Callaspo. However, I wouldn't be opposed to giving HK another shot. I really don't what to see PB, Ianneta, or Aybar @ #2

Of all the ways to save money the government pisses down the hole, this way should have been much farther down that list. Oh, and what Kody said.

0 fer whatever the first 2/3 weeks, no big deal. Losing all your games in the last week would be reason for concern.
