Basebal...Oh, I hear ya abt beaseball v. politics!! Baseball is way up on my list, though I swear, sometimes I think the fix is in THERE, too!! Some of the calls these umpires make, ESPECIALLY At Fenway Park (and no, not JUST against the Yanks), seems to make it clear. It's like they decide who they want to win, and make it happen, just like Dean, Brazile, and the DNC did with Obama! <BR/><BR/>Oh, wow - that would have made me NUTS abt the whole batting practice thing. That has happened a few times with the Yanks this season, too. Fortunately, the ones who did that the most have been sent down, but still...What kills me is that the Yanks have gained NO ground on the Red Soz - they lose when the RS lose, and win when the RS win...<BR/><BR/>So - are people in Chicago getting fed up with Guillen? I remember when he first took over that he was doing a great job with the Sox, but he seems to have gotten pretty complacent. Is that an accurate read?<BR/><BR/>Hey, ME - if you find that post on Obama and Blackwater, and want to re-post it here, I would be more than happy to do that. I MISS your blog!!Rabble Rouser Reverend Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965609706204555067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-46646831827380865022008-06-24T09:41:00.000-04:002008-06-24T09:41:00.000-04:00Hi Amy!Oh yeah...the Sox got beat, but I blame no ...Hi Amy!<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah...the Sox got beat, but I blame no one else but Ozzie Guillen. When he left Contraras pitching in the 4th inning of that second game, after he gave up back to back homeruns, and the Cubs were just using him for batting practice...I just shut the TV off before I kicked it in. Ozzie acted like he didn't give a shit if they won or lost, not thinking that the Sox fans actually paid good money to see their team act like they gave a shit. <BR/><BR/>I can't tell you how pissed off I was. We're season ticket holders and I'll tell ya...I would like to have taken the whole box of tickets and shoved it up Ozzie's....well, nevermind. You get my drift. <BR/><BR/>Ugh...baseball is maddening, worse than politics!<BR/><BR/>I think I might have written a post about Blackwater and Obama...I can't remember. I remember writing about it, but it might have been a comment on another blog. I'll check the posts I put into draft from my old blog. I didn't want to delete them....just in case I get the nerve to start up another blog. <BR/><BR/>I'll let you know what I find.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835150057881066641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-72403727378250377572008-06-23T20:22:00.000-04:002008-06-23T20:22:00.000-04:00Hey, ME -WOWIE ZOWIE, I sure as hell didn't know t...Hey, ME -<BR/><BR/>WOWIE ZOWIE, I sure as hell didn't know that!! Blackwater is a HUGE Republican-owned organization. The founder, Erik Prince, has given abt $200,000 to the RNC and is a BIG Bush supporter! So, if the company of Blackwater is now giving money to OBAMA, that is mighty telling!! Especially since he said he would keep them in Iraq (oh, they have made SOOOOO much money off of us - grrrrr).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info, ME!!<BR/><BR/>Hey, sorry abt the sweep this weekend. I was hoping the White Sox would come back for you...Rabble Rouser Reverend Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965609706204555067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-51129933580105735692008-06-23T18:58:00.000-04:002008-06-23T18:58:00.000-04:00I had heard a while back that Obama was receiving ...I had heard a while back that Obama was receiving large, bundled donations from Blackwater. Today, on Bill Press's show on Air America, they were talking about Blackwater and mentioned that they were giving to the "Democratic Party" in the recent campaign. They sanitized it by not saying it was Obama getting the donations for his campaign. <BR/><BR/>That says it all, in my view. <BR/><BR/>Obama wants his own army of thugs to do his bidding. <BR/><BR/>Great post, Amy...have to run, though.
