I was imagining Bob Uecker saying it ala Major League.

Major League Baseball (MLB network) disagrees

and Parkers throw not even in the top 5

Well, it was officially scored as the first 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play in Major League history, and the first triple play of any kind for the Yankees in 45 years, but it would have never happened without two awful base running decisions.

Point 1: If by misquote, you mean substituted a larger term (religion) for a smaller one (churches), I suppose I did. But without religion, there -are- no churches. I don't see any meaningful difference.

Point 2: Texas has worked damned hard to earn its reputation as a major-league collection of wingnuts. I'm not sure how you can justify getting upset when that reputation is assumed to be true. You have a problem with the reputation, maybe you should start blaming the people who are going out of their way to earn it...like Rick Perry, or the Texas Board of Education. As long as the state is trying to rewrite history to eliminate reality's liberal bias, you're going to be stuck with that.

Point 3: Perhaps I should have slowed down and spent more time in the step-by-step logic...I really thought most people who read her could follow the shorthand, but I did indeed jump about a bit.

In many ways, churches are no different than any corporation. They exist as a means to concentrate funds and offer the controller(s) of those funds a method of avoiding personal responsibility for misuse of those funds. On top of that, churches pay no taxes, although they still make liberal use of publicly funded services, -and- in many cases, they keep lobbying for public funds to be handed over to them as well. Now add how many churches are politically active and advising their cult members how to vote, and you might begin to see why I refer to them all as corporate welfare queens. Or maybe not...I don't know if you're even going to try to follow it or not, and don't much care at this point.

Someone just explained separation of church and state to him.

Jeeez dude, you are about a party-liner ain't ya?? Texas would be the first state to "separate" from the diseased political system you so faithfully believe in and, as we observe, believe in as fervently as any bible-thumping proselytizer determined to beat a moot point into oblivion.
As the government of the U.S. continues down her retrograde path, churches will become for many, a last bastion of sanity exempt from a really retarded form of totalitarianism and fascism. Retarded, because folks who talk shit from the comfort of their programming who belie intelligence with their words should have seen the shit coming from miles away but were too comfortable in their delusion to see the boots and badges-

I was gonna...but then decided it's not worth it, then changed my mind one last time.
I suspect aAnyone who can call religion "the last bastion of sanity" is too far gone to make sense, but... Religion supplies a cushy lifestyle for priests...that's the sum total of it's accomplishments. Churches have, if anything, helped push the government down the path you so self-righteously condemn...and they preach and stump political issues all without paying any taxes. Yet more corporate welfare.
It's time for the -real- welfare queens to start paying their share...churches, Wall Street, Defense contractors, big Pharma, etc. Time to either start contributing to the upkeep of society, or be broken up (or strung up, as the case may be).

No, you misquote me and then infer bullshit in that same smug manner that libby there used and that anyone on the receiving end of such smug could expect after reading a gajillion similar quips. I said CHURCHES and meant the members of the same whose communal efforts keep the building's physical plant in order and supports the members in time of want or need. You know...The first places to get raided and ransacked when the jackboots come??
This didn't start about about religion: I started it when Potato-libro there took a jab at Texas and lighted upon another opportunity to bash "them ignernt conservatives, etc.", NOT UNLIKE a shitload of folks with "holier than thou" attitudes concerning politics and government. QUITE laughable really, because the opinions they have and the conclusions they have arrived at, are based on limited and incomplete information or worse, they have been programmed to do so through systematic efforts by do-nothings in colleges or universities.
Stormsinger, YOUR rant began with religion and politics and manically concluded with corporations and Wall Street....WTF??!! By the way, my solution as an anarchistic, soon-to-be expatriate is to use the BIG TEX method on governments and corporations. You hate em so much, be like the Hulk. SMAAAASH! Then burn, repeat.
Can we talk about how fucking progressive IDAHO is now??? Jesus Christ, Allah Mustapha!!
I suspect anyone who can start with anti-religion rants, switch to blaming churches for the state of America's demise, bash tax-exemption and somehow blame corporate welfare (whatever the fuck!??...see where this is going?) and arrive at a total solution by blaming BELTWAY INSIDERS AND THE SENATORS/CONGRESSMEN THEY HAVE BOUGHT for pharma, defense, etc. shifting the blame to people without any power or influence???....I'd have to call them schizophrenic! Which is how most rabid concerning politics ion one side or the other are to me. ALLL OF THEM, conservative or liberal. I could give a fiddler's fist-fuck about working within a failed system. I prefer to keep to the fringes of this broken machine and put as little of my resources or mentations into it.
But some, like stormie and libby here...well, hopeless fiends and junkies for the dance politic. Playing right into the hands of the corporations iffn ya axe me!

No, I don't like him being disparaging about golf and golfers because not all golf and golfers are how he describes them and his idea (tongue-in-cheek or not) regarding golf courses taking up too much space is ridiculous.

I made a generalization of other sports fans to compare with his generalization of golfers. Both are stupid generalizations, but IMO his is particularly bad for ignoring his own admonishments against our propensity for violence and the brainwashing of the public.

The argument can be made that the major league sports harm our society more in the long run. Carlin regularly talked about how those in power were keeping the lower classes ignorant and entertained and if he thought these sports weren't part of that then he was just as brainwashed as the rest.>> ^alien_concept:

@Skeeve
Okay, but the point I was aiming for was that you didn't like him being disparaging about golf and golfers, because you like golf and golfing. But to make his point why would he kick off about football or hockey?

Never said it wasn't an act...I just said that there was no reason to assume this was for the "tourists". Maybe "tourists" wasn't meant in a negative way but I don't know of too many major league baseball times that skew entertainment towards "tourists"....it's usually for the fans. The fact that it may or may not have been an act makes very little difference in the entertainment value.
>> ^csnel3:

FFS, This is clearly an act. There ARE other videos of this same act, It takes less clicks of the mouse to find them then it did to type a rebuke of the idea that this is staged entertainment (and it was entertaining). The only thing "dead inside" here is some peoples ability to see the obvious.

and for those who don't know, the same thing happened the last time the canucks were in the finals. fuck hockey. fuck major league sports. fuck hooliganism.

Fuck me, I must be getting old...
MMA?
EG?
winners bracket of MLG columbus?
Gold 3rd exansion on Iccup Testbug MMA?
WTF are you talking about?


EG is Idra's team's name, and MMA was his opponent. Testbug was the map name, and I think Iccup was the version of the map (there are custom versions of maps for many competitions).

MLG = Major League Gaming... it's a big competition featuring multiple games (Halo, Starcraft, etc). Columbus was the city in which this one was held.

"Expansion" in Starcraft is when you build a new base at another mineral/gas source for additional income, and "gold" minerals provide faster income per harvester than standard minerals.

You may already know some of that, but I figured others may be curious too.

seems like a nice guy , definalty quite effective .
shame he missed though.


Shame he missed... Like when a baseball misses the bat of a major league player? I may not like Bush, but it would be more appropriate to say Bush dodged the shoe than this guy missed with the shoe. I know it adds up to the same thing; however, it more adequately points out what happened.

If Bush had stayed still or been too slow, he would have been hit.

Also, this guy was decent but had too many incorrect assumptions for me. First, he was incorrect that he would have been killed by the secret service. If that had been Saddam, he would have died after being sent to a rape camp where men would have violated him till he bleed to death.

Second, invading countries have been accepted throughout the years by countries they have invaded. Not all have resisted. Look at Alexander the Great. He "conquered" millions of acres of other people's land by being welcomed.

Third, even though we are the ones that caused the vacuum of power in Iraq that killed millions, the people who exploited the vacuum and murdered are more to blame. In other words, those Muslims who went into the city to loot power are mainly at fault. But this coward won’t mention Muslim jihadists or Muslim opportunists because, well, that would be inconvenient...

Do not get me wrong, I do not believe the war was reasonable nor legal. I do not believe it made America safer and, on the contrary, I believe the war only served to hurt America as a whole. However, we must be fair on all sides.

Besides, it was not Bush's war. Without Bush, who could the left blame? Without invasion, who could the right blame? How bored were the American people? They needed an "outlet" and a leader who was "strong." I just hate how the left pretends ignorance...but still manipulates the war to their benefit in elections (Buzzards most of them.)

The right's manipulation is even worse.

this made me want to get/watch " Major League "

@Matthu I think you need to read about 'a' and 'an'. It doesn't matter what the letter is, just the sound. so, 'a major league baseball player' or 'an MLB player'.

>> ^chilaxe:
That's not a "prediction," that's what's called a random and baseless guess. Just like a "Nostradamus-like" random lottery winning, there are no underlying laws or wisdoms at work; there's no meaning to this event.

Except that there was. Baseball isn't as much a game of chance as you might suppose. He didn't lay out all the work he did to come to that summation, but he did give some clues. He knew the handedness of the pitcher and the batter, which tends to yield hits going in certain locations. He knew that if it happened, it would be when the batter was a little more relaxed (i.e., not at his first at-bat). In short, he'd observed hundreds of thousands of pitches in the course of a lifetime, and knowing human nature, made what seemed to be a 'random and baseless guess', when in fact, there was a certain order in all that chaos. Clearly some of it was joshing around, and that part was coincidental, but he did call the right player on the right day, having had no foreknowledge of his major league track record. That's pretty impressive.

Anyone know the stats on the number of players who hit a home run during their first game?

Also, he's only the second player in major league history to end a game with an unassisted triple play.
