The Tris

Haven’t posted on here in over a decade but man that was depressing. Really struggling for positives after a *win*. Guess there’s some young guys showing growth. But man the team is regressing week over week. They look worse not better. And there’s no easy answer. Top to bottom organization issues (same as it ever was). Sigh.

For conservatives overreacting, I found view from the scotusblog this interesting:

Considering that the individual mandate was struck down under the commerce clause, this ruling should specifically prevent goverment mandation of products such as your Nissan. Unless you actually think this opens the door for national product specific taxes, which is ridiculous. That might have been possible had this been ruled constitutional via the commerce clause, but not now. Roberts will probably add some very limiting language regarding commerce items for use in future decisions as a result of him upholding the mandate. Kinda a brilliant move.

Do any of these sites not require flash? I will be traveling via car this afternoon and will only have access to an iPhone.

i8cNHCP3juQ Don't want to spoil any of the appearances, but I have three votes for most random: Tonya Harding, Rednex, and Forest Gump's son WTF!

Braves lose Prado, had to be helped off field after aggravating oblique strain. Might be the nail in the coffin. IF, and a big if, they make it, it'll be a 5 game series at best. Too young, too many injuries. But Freddi G's gonna have a great squad next season.

No injury on the play, no history of dirty play...this is his one strike. A high five, low six figure fine is the most I would expect. Looks like they were pretty flat footed. If I was Delhomme, I would be more pissed at my teammates for not caring that I just got hip tossed by a rookie than anything else. EDIT: YUP, they didn't take a step towards Suh.

Braves are 4-2 vs Padres this season. Beat Latos, Richard x2, and LeBlanc.

The hint they gave was all the films featured in order of release date. Helped me out a lot. Nosferatu, Metropolis, Frankenstein, City Lights, Duck Soup, Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Citizen Kane, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Singin’ in the Rain, Rebel without a Cause, Seven Year Itch, Spartacus, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Dr. No, Lawrence of Arabia, A Hard Day’s Night, Dr. Strangelove (or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb), The Sound of Music, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet of the Apes, Rosemary’s Baby, Easy Rider, A Clockwork Orange, Shaft, The Godfather, The Exorcist, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Taxi Driver, Annie Hall, Saturday Night Fever, Star Wars, Superman, Alien, Apocalypse Now, Raging Bull, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Scarface, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Amadeus, Full Metal Jacket, Robocop, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, The Silence of the Lambs, Reservoir Dogs, Forrest Gump, The Professional, Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Braveheart, Scream, American History X, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Run Lola Run, The Big Lebowski, American Beauty, Fight Club, The Matrix, Gladiator, Memento, Amélie, Lord of the Rings, Kill Bill

I thought this was awesome: 100 movie icons, simplified. Can you name them all?

David OBrien is reporting that NONE of the top pitching prospects would be given up. This is a salary dump by the Cubs. Probably? Lee has hit .283 w/ 9 HRs, 30 RBIs & .492 slugging % in 47 gms since June 16, went 5-for-11 with 4 HRs in 3-gm series at St. Louis thru Sun. Glaus has hit .174 w/ 2 HRs, 15 RBI and .265 slugging % in past 46 gms, has .285 OBP in last 45 gms, 6 Ks in last 3 gms Braves have problems with power pitchers (Look at what second tier guys like Lilly and Billingsley did to us this weekend). With a health does of Doc, Hamels, Oswalt, as well as Josh Johnson coming down the stretch, the Braves need some more pop in the lineup. Can't expect the pitching staff to continue the sub-2.00 ERA they have had thus far this month for the rest of the season.

Braves close to landing D.Lee. If nothing else, the defensive upgrade over Glaus with be staggering. Glaus can barely walk at this point. Hopefully Lee's back is sorted out. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=5473305 NO way Glaus goes to 3rd. Wouldn't be surprised if he is released outright to be honest. But I doubt it.

My question is how in the world are the Rangers allowed by MLB to keep taking on salary when they are in bankruptcy? Seems highly unusual.
