Sunday, October 13, 2002 - Minnesota Twins Vs. Anaheim Angels
Mays @ Appier - Look for a relief appearance by Johan Santana among MANY Twins Pitchers.
In an odd coincidence as reported earlier today, Adam Kennedy was released by the St. Louis Cardinals this morning.

I read that report today on AK.
His batting skills disappeared faster male libido at a Rosie O’Donnell convention.
Nope...right off th top of my head (not the kind of expression a bald guy should use).
I blame the Cabernet Sauvignon.
I could have said faster than...
tax dollars in the hands of a Democratic congress, or Democratic state legislature, or Democratic whatever…but that would have been unfair to AK. There is absolutely NOTHING that could disappear that fast!

Don't worry, it's already empty...
it was used by Bush to invade Iraq and pay corporations to keep them afloat. Next time you go over a pot-hole flip off the nearest WAMU branch – they got the money that could have been used for something useful…

no no no
it was used by the Congress to make sure all those bank execs had a great vacation.
having no oversight on that money was a BRILLIANT idea. thanks, Pelosi and Reid.
Kotch would've had that.
Bingo........
congress…..

gimme a break
stop trying to deflect the blame on this one… it lies squarely on the shoulders of our “let’s throw money we don’t have at the problem and hope it goes away” congress.
Kotch would've had that.

Who was clamoring for a bailout?
I blame the congress for not writing better legislation, for sure. But they were basically extorted to write legislation NOW and save the world…
Anyway, I don’t disagree that the congress blew this one – but failing to acknowledge that “W” and Paulson were the impetus for the Financial bailout is foolish, or ignorant. Not sure which.
Jim Scully
who was clamoring for the bailout??
try Pelosi, Reid and Barney effing Frank! Bush didn’t have power during his last 2 years… the Congress was Democrat-controlled. he had to do whatever they wanted.
the first bailout came because of the Congress, though I do blame Bush for actually signing the thing.
what’s your excuse for this one?
Kotch would've had that.

Paulson was bitching to everyone who would listen...
about needing to “take in the toxic debt”. The Dems in congress should have said, “screw you”, but they probably thought that it needed to happen because they were extorted into thinking that inaction would cripple the economy. The TARP fund has been terribly mismanaged by all – can we agree on that?
As for Bush not having power for 2 years – if the Dems could get what they wanted why didn’t they get a significant draw down of troops from Iraq? Shoot, why couldn’t they get timelines imposed on the Iraqi government so that if X, Y and Z wasn’t met the troops would come home?
Bush had power – all that law breakin’ power he used for eight years – and he and the doltish Republicans in the congress didn’t allow floor votes on things like I mentioned because they had enough votes to filibuster. That, my friend is power!
So, while the Dems were in “control” they didn’t have a supermajority to push their agenda forward w/o Republican help, which they got none of…
As for this Bailout – I am for it, minus the tax cuts. I am all for spending mad money on infrastructure improvements. This country is over $2 trillion behind in infrastructure upkeep – it’s high time that shit gets done. The downturn gives a good opportunity for government to kill two birds with one stone…
Jim Scully
Frank was vocal about the Auto
bailout – which was minimal in comparison. I don’t recall him with regard to the TARP fund. But, I’ll take your word for it…
Jim Scully
Bingo........
congress…..

it's the extra douchebag weight he's carrying now.
it comes standard with the Boston uniform.
Kotch would've had that.
Damn I missed that game when it was on in 2002
Looks like I’m gonna miss it again.

I was there but not in my seats
I did not buy the postseason package – this was the only game of that postseason that i saw in person, sat in lower view 3B side by the camera well.
i really liked Brad Fulmer, always trying to kill the ball.

I was living in Japan during this time
and listened to the games on the radio. Never really knew how loud them stiks could get. They would mix them out of the broadcast so we only had a faint feel for the noise.
man I dont have FSW......this blows

Awesome!
The go ahead 3-runner off Johan! An 0-2 pitch nonetheless, up and away hanger!
What in the wide wide world of sports is a goin on here?
Was at this game
Forgot about it being on last night. Damn.
I sat in the last row terrace wheelchair accessible seats. You know, the ones where you can’t see anything hit more than 30 feet above the ground…some homies from the ’hood were standing next to me during most of the game, they claim they snuck in, but nobody cared. I ended up having a “bro moment” with a couple of them when we won that game.
