gussie I'm not quite understanding where you going w/ this Mike Vick stuff
I'm sure you're just trying to be an instigating pompous ass but I'm curious as to your motivation for the 100% unrelated Vick situation mention.
other than to get me to bite,... which I have. So please do continue

OK,... well since it was on my mind:
I tryed the place @ the Market today
if you like good meats, cheeses, & breads steamed served w/ kettle chips you'll love the place
also,... super friendly. It was not very busy but my order got lost in the shuffle. Several people were getting their order before me so I went to ask. They immediately showed incredible concern & quickly got me my sandwich.
not to mention gave me my money back and a free drink. I insisted they keep the money and they would have none of it.
so,... Free Lunch Sunday.
I'll be back soon. I don't know what those people do in their spirtual & personal lives and I couldn't give a damn less. They run a solid business and I hope they thrive.

Sorry Action! but that was a low blow. Didn't need to go there.
The GOP,... the McCain "to-elect" campaign,.. the Yes Men & women made her a story.
It was and still is a Clown show,... we've just heard of her now.
John McCain deserved a better shot at such an important election. Too bad he was on his last try and listened to everybody around him.
McCain is a great american.
seriously,.... Sarah Feyin is not relavent in the political world other than her own state. WHich she isn't involved in that now either,... or soon
she's a Yahoo.com headline,... just like 'em all

and Church did give that ball a ride.
Just Short. First AB (a groundout) went to a count of 3 - 1. Francouer is one of my favs (well pre-mets) but he doesn't know what a 3 balls 1 strike count is.

yeah that's pretty funny
and what a great post from a handle of: Conservator and an avatar of: Ron Regan
seriously,....
according to the DOB blog there was nothing more than a mid-level-potential-career-minor -leaguer deal with any other team.
Do your own research for Ryan Church & the Met's Brass recently.
The 2 teams basically gave 2 Major League outfielders a chance w/ 2 years of arbitration left in a new scenario. Good move. Somebody might "win or lose" this trade but I think it means very little of the overall 2009 picture.
SO!!!!
are we going to get a "sports section" so the world police can keep shooting in "firearms" and we can talk the details that don't include President Obama

They didn’t have to trade him, but…. 4:51 pm July 11, 2009, by David O'Brien
DENVER – So a couple of people e-mailed to ask me, did the Braves have to trade Jeff Francoeur? Well, no. They didn’t have to trade him. No one held a gun to Frank Wren’s head and demanded he make the move. But let me put it another way? Why wouldn’t they, under these circumstances? If they could swap him for a Ryan Church, a player who’ll give you quality at-bats and an on-base percentage at least 50 points higher than Francoeur’s, and has in the past couple of seasons given you reason to believe he can give you plenty more, why wouldn’t you do it? Because Francoeur is a nice guy who was a terrific two-sport athlete in the Atlanta ‘burbs? Because he has a strong arm and landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated four years ago and had a couple of 100-RBI seasons in 2006 and 2007?
Where it all began.... Because outside of that, I’m really having a tough time coming up with reasons not to trade him. If this were a year ago, it’d be different. The backlash would have still been pretty high, I think. But now? No. I think most savvy Braves fans have seen what Francoeur has done the past couple of years, and know that he’s due for a raise to $4.5 million or so through the arbitration process if the Braves were to keep him. They know that a .240 hitter with 10-15 homer power and a .300 (or lower) OBP is not worth anywhere near $4.5 million, and that the Braves would have non-tendered him this winter if they hadn’t traded him before then. They traded him for another player with two remaining years of arbitration, one the Braves believe can help them while working in some sort of RF platoon with Matt Diaz and possibly playing some LF and CF when needed or when matchups favor it. Bobby Cox said as much yesterday, that he wanted to give “Andy” (Garret Anderson) some time off. As for why they’d trade him to a division rival, well, that’s unusua, no doubt. But so is this case. The Braves simply had received no offers for Francoeur that included a legit major league player or prospect. So they dealt him while they could, before the Mets looked elsewhere. Did his three-double game Thursday convince the Mets it was worth doing? Perhaps. Because these conversations didn’t even begin until Wednesday. And when do you think Francoeur might have another game with three extra-base hits? So they traded him for a player with almost an identical salary. A player who doesn’t have Francoeur’s arm, but is at least as good going to get the ball in the outfield. A player who’s played all three outfield positions in the majors and could move over to center if the Braves needed him to.
Church will wear No. 25 A player who’s five years older than Francoeur, but still has two more years of arbitration before free agency, same as Francoeur. A player who has hit .295 with 15 homers and an .828 OPS in 370 at-bats as a No. 5 hitter. Not bad. It’s not like it’s a big risk involved. Or do you really think Francoeur is going to come back to haunt the Braves on a regular basis? If so, have you been watching him since, oh, the middle of the 2007 season? By the way, before I give you a couple of Francoeur stats, consider that Church last season was doing some serious hitting before he got kneed by Yunel Escobar on May 22, when Church slide in late and high trying to break up a double play. He got concussed for the second time on that play, and he wasn’t the same for the rest of the season, admittedly feeling woozy when the Mets inexplicably let him on the team plane to Colorado after that game in Atlanta when he got his bell rung. Check these numbers: In 43 games through the May 22 game when he got the concussion in Atlanta, Church hit .315 with nine homers, 32 RBI and a .383 OBP and .537 slugging percentage. In the 19 games immediately before the May 22 incident, he had seven homers, 16 RBI and a .648 slugging percentage. He played only 47 games the rest of the season following the incident, and hit .236 with three homers, 17 RBI and a .309 OBP and .338 slugging percentage. Church was knocked for a loop by the effects of his second concussion, and the Mets shut him down for three weeks in June and again for seven weeks in July and August. For all we know, he might still be shaking the cobwebs from two concussions. Talk to NFL players about that; concussions are serious matters. But he’s shown some signs this season of getting back to normal, hitting .280 with 16 doubles, albeit with only two homers in 232 at-bats and a .707 OPS that’s a full 97 points lower than his career OPS before this season. Still, consider that Francoeur has a career .732 OPS and .308 OBP. And this season, he was down to a .634 OPS and alarmingly bad .282 OBP that was the fourth-worst among NL lineup regulars. And think about this: Francoeur hit .373 with 10 homers, 28 RBI and a .389 OBP and .755 slugging percentage in his dream-like first 30 games in the majors, after his June 2007 callup. In 601 games since then, he’s hit .261 with 68 homers, 331 RBI and a .305 OBP and .408 slugging percentage (.713 OPS). And in 310 games since the 2007 All-Star break, Francoeur has hit .256 with just 25 homers, 153 RBI, and a .304 OBP and .381 slugging percentage. That’s 25 home runs in 1,195 at-bats, by a guy who hit 10 in his first 30 games and 110 at-bats in the majors. The ex-football player bulked up before the 2007 season, the season when everything started to really spiral. How much did that play in this? Who knows? He was a gifted prep athete whose athleticism and work ethic always allowed him to overcome any obstacles in his way. But professional baseball, at the highest level at least, is about more than athleticism and work ethic. It’s about highly refined skills and patience and — very important — the ability to make adjustments. Major league pitchers made adjustments to this young, celebrated “bad-ball hitter” who tore up the league his first time through. They started exploiting the holes in that swing that Chipper Jones once called “Captain Cavemen.” Francoeur either didn’t know how, waited too long, or possibly tried too hard in the wrong way — squeeze that bat hard and swing harder, dammit — to make adjustments to the adjustments that pitchers made to him. He got back into better baseball shape this past offseason, losing the bulk, but who knows how much of it stems from bad habits he got into as he tried to swing his way out of slumps, and when he listened to so many well-meaning people offering him so much differing advice on how to get back his mojo. We all have theories. But the point is, it’s been two solid years that he’s been one of the worst hitters in baseball.

once again,... no sports section so this will get little play I deep down knew that frenchy was going to get traded eventually,... this year, offseason, or next. but to the Stinking loser Mets for Ryan Church w/ an expiring contract @ the end of the year? there better be some information that I'm not aware of b/c this makes no sense. I guess Atl. can rid themselves of #7 for all sports. I've been following Jeff for 5+ years,.... it's a damn shame www.ajc.com/braves/content/sports/braves/stories/2009/07/10/jeff_francoeur_trade_braves_mets.html

it "aired" (pun intended) first on Titan's Radio Flagship station Citadel Nashville 104.5 The Zone on Monday when I first heard it and I think GOW aired it twice on Tuesday. I heard the 5- 7 broadcast again on the Monster. It was awesome.
The Super Bowl edited down final drive was the highlight. But overall awesome.
I know the guy made some bad decisions but since there's no "Sports Section" I'm talking about strickly on the the field.
One of the best QB's in the modern era.
He'll never get the credit he deserves,... especially here when there's no place to discuss his football career w/o one of the "moralist cops" (pun intended) coming in to make a sarcastic remark about his personal life

here we go,... it never stops
my first post was in reference to a nice little sarcastic post very much implied that the Democratic President of the United States was not qualified. see reply #17 (I'm not cutting pasting and htmling this thing like everybody like to do)
JustinCase jumped in b/c he's tired of all the liars being called out I guess and made this a pissing match b/t a bunch of people who are not involved
JT? Marvell, Worm, lions& tigers&bears,... all so smart,... OK,.. probably,... not debating that.
There are qualifications to be President. Barrack Obama meets those qualifications.
saying he does not is a lie. it's Not an opinion.
if you don't like how the constitution is written you don't ignore it,.. you amend it.

"lack of sophistication" huh
there are qualifications to be president of the United States of America
if you don't believe that he is qualified then yes,.. that's your opinion. It also means that either you are ignorant to the qualifications of the Commander in Chief and/or you are a liar trying to push your agenda.
I will give most people on here credit that they are not ignorant to the Constitution and I will call many on here liars.
either way you're the one that looks dumb

quit apologizing for the last president of the free world and start figuring out how to make the world so much better with a some candidate that isn't a respectable old guy trotting around w/ a Tina Fey look-a-like that nobody has ever heard of from a state nobody cares about
your Grand Old Pompous Party is a mess,.... I could give a damn about your hypotheticals & what you think the Headlines would look like.
