Comment on: Red Sox hang on for a win against Athletics - Red Sox - Boston.com
I agree - if Uehara was visibly disgusted, you know there's a problem! (And I love having guys on the Sox about whom you can say that).

Comment on: Red Sox hang on for a win against Athletics - Red Sox - Boston.com
I see no reason why Bailey and Hanrahan can't SHARE the closer's role when Hanrahan comes back from the DL. It's been done before, many times. When I first started following baseball circa 1980, the more »

Comment on: Royals snap Red Sox winning streak - Red Sox - Boston.com
Folks, it's only April 22nd. Nearly every hitter in the majors If Drew doesn't get it going within a month, we're going to see Ciriaco in the lineup more, and probably see Iggy by June 1st. If Gomes more »

Comment on: Gun control backers: Senate defeat won't stop us - News - Boston.com
Really now, you think four Democrats who are too chicken to vote for this because of their ties with NRA money would suddenly throw that away because Bill Clinton was president and not Obama? Puh-lee more »

Comment on: Bullpen leads Red Sox past Indians - Red Sox - Boston.com
He sure as heck seems to be doing a better job starting than in the pen. He seems to buckle under closer-type pressure, and perhaps he's not regular-rotation material, but if he's a guy who can pitch more »

Comment on: Yankees play 'Sweet Caroline' in Boston tribute - Baseball - Boston.com
I lived in New York for a year, in the Yankees' late '90s glory years no less, and I was shocked to find out that most Yankee fans, at least the ones I met, do not sit around and gloat about how infal more »

Comment on: Yankees play 'Sweet Caroline' in Boston tribute - Baseball - Boston.com
Thank you Yankees! Maybe this year we'll let bygones be bygones and wish you a 4th place, 75-87 season =) Seriously though, wouldn't another Sox-Yanks ALCS be awesome in light of this? I'm not h more »

Comment on: PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama's mixed economic record - News - Boston.com
I'm sure six months ago you were saying the same thing except with "over 8% unemployment." By 2015 you'll be saying "over 6% unemployment."

Comment on: Orioles top Red Sox again - Red Sox - Boston.com
Let's take a bigger-picture view here. The AL east is a very tough division. If the Sox can play .500 ball against their divisional rivals, i.e. go 38-38, then to get to 90 wins and a probable playo more »

Comment on: Red Sox bullpen is suddenly leaking - Red Sox - Boston.com
The great thing about having a lot of quality arms in the bullpen is that if one of them falters, others can step in. It's way too early to be worried about Hanrahan, but if he continues to struggle, more »

Comment on: A party rift on Obama budget - News - Boston.com
Having been a member of a party with Socialist leanings nearly 20 years ago is irrelevant to whether his current policies are actually Socialist policies. They most definitely are not. If President more »

Comment on: A party rift on Obama budget - News - Boston.com
And you really think President McCain would've had us out of Afghanistan in March of 2009 and closed Gitmo by December 2009? (which, btw, Obama tried to do and was blocked by REPUBLICANS). And Obam more »

Comment on: A party rift on Obama budget - News - Boston.com
I'm sure the right wing extremists are salivating over the fact that Obama has disagreements within his own party, but (a) the Republican party hasn't exactly been the picture of fun-loving togetherne more »

Comment on: Prominent Democrats oppose Obama budget cuts to Social Security and Medicare - Boston.com
Agreed, but come on, do you really think a proposal to raise the cap would get anywhere in the GOP house? They'd be crying "unacceptable tax increases!" faster than you can say 'Boehner.' Obama is n more »

Comment on: Prominent Democrats oppose Obama budget cuts to Social Security and Medicare - Boston.com
B_Hussein...: When the Republicans propose cuts in spending, they don't propose we spend negative dollars. Their budgets still include spending, just less of it. Please explain to all of us how i more »

Comment on: Prominent Democrats oppose Obama budget cuts to Social Security and Medicare - Boston.com
As predicted, Obama still gets called a flaming socialist, even though he's proposing making cuts to a government benefit program, just as all the Tea Partiers demand he does. And when he proposes cl more »

Comment on: Bipartisan deal on background checks is close - News - Boston.com
That's always the Repulican argument, isn't it: "if we let X happen, then Y will surely be next!" Obviously made because you have no argument against X in and of itself. You do the same thing with t more »

Comment on: Wade Boggs wants Red Sox to retire his number - Red Sox - Boston.com
You know, maybe Boggs wasn't the type of "team player" we put on a pedestal and idolize, but neither were Williams, Yaz and Rice. Was Boggs any more selfish than any of those guys? Heck no. And I d more »

Comment on: Sweeping anti-abortion bill goes to Kansas gov. - Business - Boston.com
So it's OK for oil companies because they only 'indirectly' are responsible for their destructiveness, because it's OUR decision to buy oil, they only just make it? OK then, but isn't it also OUR dec more »

Comment on: Sweeping anti-abortion bill goes to Kansas gov. - Business - Boston.com
True, if you think abortion is a GOOD thing, then you're pro-abortion. I have yet to meet anyone who thinks abortion is a good thing. And Planned Parenthood, like me and the majority of Americans, more »

Nope, oil companies just produce something that is largely responsible for global climate change, which could (unless we get serious about stopping it, so far we haven't) eventually result in the exti more »

Oil companies kill too, my friend. In much more long term and destructive ways than any abortion provider.
