Evan Longoria ... 1 pitch in the playoffs, ties Vlad for career playoff homeruns :/

but Vlad's was a grand slam!
eh, whatever helps me sleep at night :(

TBS announcers are favoring the White Sox over the Rays.
I guess they just pick a side and go with it.

I think it's actually
That they have the word “Sox” in their team name.
The announcers probably j—z just THINKING about the other team with that word.
Light Up That Halo!
Just to keep track:
Pitches seen by Longoria – 3
Homeruns by Longoria – 2
Career playoff at basts – 2

I wonder what Longoria's first FA contract is going to be worth. Yankee of the future.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
he already signed a 6 year contract with the rays
he’ll be 29 by the time that happens.

First round draft picks.
http://inplaynoouts.blogspot.com/ - A blog about teams I like, written by me.
Does that mean the system works?
It seem like a lot of fans on other sites ( I will not mention) root for their team to lose to get the draft picks. That seems kind of sad to me, you should root for your team to win no matter what.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
At some point in a losing season the higher draft pick
may actually be better for the team.

Biden @ Palin - 6 p. m.
Since this match is listed in the heading with the other matches, does it mean we are allowed to freely comment about it while it is going on, or will our moose get dressed?

No mas politics aqui, por favor. (Sorry if the spelling/grammar isn't correct).
It really takes away the enjoyment of of this site. This is a baseball sanctuary!! (IMHO)
you're such a cry baby sometimes.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
No I'm not. You are.
You’re just trying to make me feel bad about myself. I have high self-esteem…it’s not going to work. So THERE. Ha!
(Kleenex please)
isn't tonight a home game for Biden?
i mean, given the moderator, i think he has home-field advantage. :P
man… those Rays look like they belong. they’re relaxed and playing their game – something we know nothing about in October.
Kotch would've had that.
i'll give you that
but again, the mod is writing a book about Obama. there has to be some sort of advantage there…
maybe it’s like us in the ‘04 playoffs… it’s technically Palin’s home-field, but most of the people there are going for the visitor.
Kotch would've had that.
I don't know how she made it through either
supposedly Team McCain didn’t know about her book. I really find that hard to believe.
I hope she comes through as fair for both sides
as do i
but you know every little thing about this debate is under the microscope
Kotch would've had that.
The McCain campaign agreed on Gwen Ifill being the moderator long after she announced her book. Nice try.
The Rays confidence in their game has been pretty remarkable all year. I think that has really carried them through to this point.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
Ifill did an interview in the Washington Post about the book on September 9th.
It kind of indicates to me maybe the McCain campaign fails to do their homework properly. I think Ifill will probably be fair, if not she will catch hell for it, and Palin will come out smelling like a rose with the golden excuse that the moderator was’nt being fair. The bar has been set so low now, Palin just needs to just appear at the debate to have done well.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
I find Palin's real interviews way funnier!
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
It's was katie Couric's and Charles Gibson's reactions to Palin's answers that were so funny to me.
I think the SNL skit’s just turned Tina Fey in to a superstar, along with her 30 Rock emmys.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
not snl
if you want topical, funny, political news/not news you watch the daily show and colbert report not snl.
I watch SNL mostly because that's all that is on then.
Daily Show and Colbert are just not that interesting to me. Not really my thing, those shows seem to appeal to younger audiences more.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
A hundred+ cable channels and there is nothing better on?
Admit it, you love SNL. You think it’s currently relevant enough that it turned Tina Fey into a “superstar.” I bet most people in this country don’t know who the hell Tina Fey is nor do they care. SNL is so full of itself it now seems to think it can get by on its own reputation from the days when it was actually (mildly) funny.
Personally, I would rather watch the Magic Bullet infomercial than watch SNL.
Those Palin skits are being shown everywhere on every news channel all day long everyday.
That has a lot to do with it. I agree SNL is not near as funny as it used to be.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
"everywhere on every news channel all day long everyday."
You think you might be overstating this just a smidge? Hmm?
all the cable news anyway.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
That's how I watch TV shows more and more. Especially shows that are on the same time Angels games are on during the season.
I just watch them later on line or the next day and fewer commercials too.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
that's the best way to go when you don't have TiVO or DVR
methinks.
i do that with college football games a lot of the time, too
Kotch would've had that.
Are we going to take a drink every time Sarah Palin says she is "blessed" tonight during the debate?
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
Yeah, every time Biden makes a gaffe would be good.

let’s not do what the media is doing, and cast her as a presidential candidate.

With McCain's age & Medical History
It’s only fair to evaluate her presidential qualities.

thank you for pointing that out
that is one of the WEAKEST arguments i’ve ever heard..
“oh, McCain is old, so Palin is probably going to be President”.
that’s flat-out stupid.
like you said, every person is mortal. how many people have we seen on the news turn up dead, even though they were in good health? what makes you so sure that Obama won’t be assassinated or die from some freak accident?
it’s weak.
Kotch would've had that.
im fairly sure he said it for both
as in evaluate presidential qualities for both.
and it is a fact that mccain is the oldest person to run for a first term in office, and, like it or not, his age and health are a factor in this. i dont think anyone is saying mccain is going to drop dead in a few months, but people are mortal and the vp is next in line. thats essentially their job, cast never-needed tie breaking votes in the senate and wait for the president to keel over. so as a “president-in-waiting” we have to look at them as a possible prez. no one is sure and thats the point. so no need to get offended with the mccain age comment.
sorry if that was taken the wrong way
i wasn’t offended, just explaining my view on it.

lame sauce
you just stereotyped mainstream America… “they look funny, they sound funny.. that’s dumb.”
look at the issues.
Kotch would've had that.
what does mainstream america even mean?
popular? topical? where the most people are?
alaska really fits none of these
what does alaska have to do with this?
mainstream america.. what you hear about. what the media tells you the most about.
LIBERAL.
that a good enough definition?
Kotch would've had that.
oh the liberal media
if thats not a dead horse i dont know what is.
i was asking a question. what is mainstream america? i mean they were being “offended” so i wanted to know actually.
if mainstream america is the accent you were referring to, thats also not true. most of america lives on the coasts and does not share said accent. there are different accents yes, but i wouldnt call hers (palin’s) mainstream.
the media is a big beast that cant be defined with a liberal or conservative label. i could go on and on about this. but the media doesnt really lend itself to nice little categorical definitions. you have things like fox news and talk radio, where do they fit in the liberal media definition?
and the most watched form of this media beast we’re discussing is local news. and thats generally intended to scare people. Fear-mongering….fear outsiders, consumer products, etc etc. Thats just plain fear, no lean
the liberal media label is done with zero analysis, and is tiresome. theres a much bigger picture to look at. theres no such thing as unbiased news, but its not a one-sided bias. not even close.
How many times did she mention George Bush or his awesome administration?
Just that she wanted to continue Bush’s never ending Iraq war policies in Afghanistan with a brand new surge. Where ya gettin’ da troops for that Sarah – you betcha?
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
blah blah blah
same crap we hear from the media.
actually she RARELY brought up the current administration – that was Biden’s doing. and she criticized Biden for doing it.
Kotch would've had that.
She never brought up the Bush administration. The GOP has disassociated itself from Bush.
They have no plan and nothing at all to run on. All they have left is try to attack Obama with lies, fabrications, and racism to try to sway votes. I don’t think it’s going to work for them this time.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
yeah sure, when you don't listen to what they say
they have nothing to run on.
what does Obama have? one word. one effing word that’s appealing to people’s emotions. change. that’s it. he has no stance on ANYTHING whatsoever… just an appeal to emotion.
racism? wow, there’s a first. they have YET to bring up anything racist.
and if you wanna talk racism, how about Obama’s “spiritual leader”, his pastor?? you wanna take about racism.. there it is.
Kotch would've had that.
people dont vote on issues
sad but true. thats why theres the attacks and the appeals to emotion. both sides do it. people dont listen to the issues.
obama does have stances on issues. as does mccain. but that is not what neither is running their campaign on. its “change vs the maverick”. Thats it. Thats the campaign. Done.
Theyre both intelligent men with stances, thats not what campaigns are about though
record low approval numbers will do that
palin and mccain do not want any association with the bush administration. thats political suicide. their issue stances are very similar, thats why its funny to see republicans running from bush like he has smallpox or something
people always hate congress
since the onset of public opinion polling, congress always has numbers less than 50%, usually in 20-30 range. you’ll get the rally-around-the-flag-effect and their approval goes up, but thats rare.
Congress is hated by people. Wonder when theyre actually going to do something about that. You know be more responsive to their constituents, the people that elect them/.
People usually like their congressal reps
just not the other 532

It's just politics howiestheman, that's how it works in Washington.
It is the voice of partisanism, two parties with very different views always jockeying for power. You were like what eleven or twelve when George Bush came into office in 2000? Then you have known mostly a Republican controlled congress with a Republican president in the White House. Their hold on power has enabled them to keep the Democratic party and their voice largely silent during their tenure.You’re just hearing the first marching footsteps of the Democratic party coming back to power.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
i realize i'm young
but i’m not stupid. i understand politics very well, actually.
personally, i’m sick of it – i’m sick of the elite controlling everything, and i’m sick of partisanship. but mostly, i’m suck of everyone pointing fingers at everyone else instead of manning up, taking responsibility and getting things done.
take a look at the Barney Frank interview on The O’Reilly Factor (i know, that’s blasphemy to you). it’s exactly what i’m talking about. this idiot tried to deny something he just said! he is GREATLY responsible for a bunch of stuff that happened with this, and he’s trying to blame the GOP for it.
God help us if when the Dems come back to power… you think things are bad now? wait 2 years. we’ll see where we are then.
Kotch would've had that.
the elite will always be in the power
thats what they do, they’re the elite.
but its not the elite that you think it is. anyone with a b.a. or b.s. or any grad/post-grad work could call tell themselves part of the elite/informed.
thats who will be in power because most other people simply dont care, or are one-issue centric, or only care around election time every 4 years. thats just the facts.
i would actually like this elite in power rather than the opposite.
excuse me
the “financially elite” are always in control, and they always know what’s best for you. don’t you know that?
Kotch would've had that.
That's how the constitution was written
The guys that wrote it were mostly the elite (wealthy landowners) and didn’t want to lose their social status.
They just wanted to remove the class the was more elite than they (the nobility) from their political structure.
The US Senate wasn’t even elected totally by popular vote until less than a century ago. It was intended also as a check on the democratically elected House of Representatives.
Members of the Electoral College aren’t bound to vote for the candidate they were elected to vote for & the whole system is a republican method, not democratic.
The elite are in power because they usually have the wealth it takes to run a political campaign.

but i fail to see how Palin has no idea about what an American family is.
Kotch would've had that.
I'm not too sure what his point is
But I’m sure it has something to do with the Halos needing to man up and beat Matsuzaka tomorrow night!

yo im the kid who rose up from santa ana
went to shitty schools and lifted himself up to go to princeton
i worked my ass off
my parents worked full time jobs all my life and neither have finished high school
we are the hard working americans who get screwed over by people like mccain who claim that helping the rich will help the poor

Your parents didn't bother to finish high school...
yet it’s people like McCain who screwed your family over?
That’s funny.
Yeah, and your life sounds pretty shitty, what with attending Princeton and everything. I feel really sorry for you.
BOO FUCKING HOO
dude whats your problem?
i dont understand the hate.
people are responsible for their own actions but they’re also not responsible for the situation they are born in to.
thats the whole “american dream” cliche, rising up. thats what all parents want, for their kids to do better than they did.
i dont know what made you so cynical.
Thanks for the concern.
The American Dream also doesn’t include blaming others for your problems.
I’m not surprised that you find my viewpoint hateful. It’s all peace, love, and bong hits when you’re still in university surrounded by the kids who make up the student body and faculty.
Sorry to harsh your mellow, bro. I guess I didn’t realize a stern reality check aimed AT SOMEONE ELSE would cause YOU so much distress.
because people do have things in common
and ive had many stern reality checks while ive been in college.
i just saw no reason for you to go out and insult a guy for really no reason. but hey lets just hate on random people we dont know for simply trying too hard…yeah thats a good attitude.
enjoy your cynics of the month meeting or your aa one, they’re both the same anyways.
and for that, i have all the respect in the world for you
but blaming “people like mccain” is ridiculous.
Kotch would've had that.

It's a culture of victimization.
Nobody is responsible for his own actions. It’s always someone else’s fault.
Unless you do something good, then you can take all the credit.
amen to that, brotha
it’s sad, but it’s true.
that’s what happens when you can’t parent kids anymore… “they’re always right.. don’t hurt their feelings.. it’s not your fault!”
what a load of crap.
and we wonder why this country is in the toilet. it’s time to man-up. that’s the difference between the 40’s, let’s say, and now. people back then took responsibility and pulled themselves up. people nowadays just sit back and cry and wait for someone else to fix it.
Kotch would've had that.

The first half of the 40's was World War II, and the nation was in crisis.
The government largely controlled what people could and could not do during that time. Post War, brought the GI bill (a huge government program) that allowed soldiers coming home from the war to secure government backed loans at low interest rates to buy their first homes. This lead to the growth of cities and suburbs that fed consumerism and a progressive economy during the next two decades. The GI bill also gave every veteran the right to attend college that also benefited the economy. Strong unions trained people to work in trades that supported manufacturing and protected them with 40 hour work weeks, fair pay for work, healthcare, and retirement pensions. Much of this is gone now due to deregulation and union busting during the Reagan – Bush years and the Bush years again. Factories have closed and jobs shipped over seas. The GI bill is just an example, from the decade you chose, that government has played a large role though out our history when crisis and need of the people is required to keep the country strong and healthy. Barack Obama wants to return the government back to helping out the people who truly have need, as in no healthcare, job creation, and an energy policy that helps us instead of the failed conservative policies of the last seven and a half years.

i would never try to take anything away from what FDR did
easily one of the best presidents we had.
BUT created more government and more useless programs is NOT the answer. Barack Obama wants to create all kinds of new programs that will just suck up more money (as if we’re not abusing Social Security already…)
The government should help, yes, but it should not be a crutch to live on, and that’s what the real problem is.
and if you want to blame someone for where we are now, blame Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. THEY are the ones that created this mess by forcing banks to loan money to people who could not pay it back. thus, the markets fell, and now the taxpayers are screwed.
Kotch would've had that.
This back and forth is why I didn't want to join this political thread. This is a site for Angel Baseball!!!!
I am (I believe like most citizen’s of this great land) fiscally conservative and socially libertarian (well mostly libertarian).
Do you believe this will be covered in the debates? It’s not even a part of the national conversation. Does anyone realize how much debt we are piling on future generations? This is something I would like to see discussed. But its not even on the radar.
Good luck to you and others during the balance of your political discussions. Thus ends my final post on politics at HH.
Yea
Thanks mom & dad

If a male candidate was talking like Palin, he would e laughed off the stage.
She’s only getting away with her crap because she is a woman. She is doing a good job working the talking points into her answers. She is leaning heavily on her cheat sheet. Biden is’nt attacking enough, he is being too nice. It was great when Biden corrected her about the vice-president’s constitutional roll with regard to congress and how dangerous Cheney has been.

she looks like she's about to cry

She is Dick Cheney in lipstick and a dress. she is probably a better shot though.

I bet Scioscia is watching this game thinking :
Why isn’t Andrew Jones playing? He’s a gold glover with a decent bat.

good heavens… i hate him, i really do.

Kotch would've had that.
theres a curse on the Cubs?

i thought they were just not very good for the past century.
Apparently goats attendance are integral to winning in the game's early years.

with us on the winning side, of course.
