Re: 2015 Baseball Thread

I got no issues with the shifts... hitters should learn how to hit to opposite field. If you go back and watch some of the great hitters of years past, they look completely different than modern hitters. There's like one swing now and everyone does it. Take a guy like Ichiro, who puts up 200 hits or...

Re: THE OFFICIAL POLITICS THREAD

You still haven't proven the alleged relocation program. I love how you make a point, get schooled, and then think up something else. You don't defend your source so I must assume you conceded the point. Those are great talking points, but I don't see the relationship to your previous points or how ...

Re: THE OFFICIAL POLITICS THREAD

Yes, I am making that comparison and I have yet to see how the two are different from any of your posts. More people die in traffic accidents each year than in gun violence OR from illegal immigration, but I don't see you railing against cars. Laws are laws. Your point was that we need to have stric...

Re: Introduce Yourself

Hi all, Hungarian fan here. Have to admit I've never even been to the US, but a huge hockey fan, and been following NHL and the Blues for almost a decade and a half now. My number one team is a Hungarian one, called Ferencváros, and the Blues became a team I'm rooting for too, when I first got into...

Re: THE OFFICIAL POLITICS THREAD

Documenting and legalizing every single illegal immigrant is a very difficult (impossible) task unless there can be a way to guarantee the temporary cessation of their entrance into America, at least in a way that's not presently illegal. Of course doing that would probably take a decade or more, s...

Re: THE OFFICIAL POLITICS THREAD

I don't necessarily agree with "illegal" immigration. I do agree that the process of getting the current individuals with illegal status out of the country would be costly, time consuming and probably impossible. We need a systematic way of getting these individuals resident status so they can pay ...

Re: THE OFFICIAL POLITICS THREAD

We have LAWS for a reason! We don't simply have open borders where you can just walk in! I don't care if you are Swedish and the whitest person on earth but if you don't apply legally the LAW says you should be deported! A nation is no longer a nation without borders!! Okay, let me see if I underst...

Re: NHL Announces 2016 Outdoor Games

I"m still puzzled why it went to Minnesota. It would have been more exciting if our 2 teams met. No one has a rivaly with Minnesota. This past Winter Classic also had much lower ratings than the previous ones. I think what St. Louis is missing in the eyes of the league is a marketable star and I do...

JNE we are talking about US politics. The reasons Japan and Korea secure their borders aren't relevant to the topic at hand. But I'll play for just a sec: Japan is a (Franking) island, so um, ya, its neighbors are fish and other sea life. They eat a crap ton of their neighbors. IF I follow your anal...

Re: NHL Announces 2016 Outdoor Games

There's an easy fix here...win the cup. If we want national recognition we will need to stop getting bounced in the first round. I don't agree with it, but I understand it. Chicago has won several cups, is a big TV market, and has a national following that Blues just can't match. Win a couple cups a...

I would look for someone to emerge from the Dems to push her to the side. The reason she's a Dem is because she was/is married to one. Cory Booker would be an intere...

Allow me to ask you this, JNE. A little background: I was raised Roman Catholic, my mother is extremely religious and attends mass twice a day, every day, and is very active in the church. My grandmother (her mother) was also very religious, such is the case I guess with most 100% Italians. My dad,...

Re: Elliott added to the All Star Roster, 2nd appearance

Rewind a couple years to when we signed Elliott to a 2 way contract with the promise to let him duel it out with Bishop for the #2 role. Fast forward to today, he's a 2 time All Star for us. But no, Army is a terrible GM. I digress. I will admit, I was skeptical that Ells could keep his play up as ...

I agree that Rinne has been The Man this year in net. He's already being talked about in Vezina discussions, but he's really putting on an MVP show in net this year.

Re: Rams Stadium Negotiations

Top 8 clause? Does that continue into the new venue or is that being renegotiated? I'd just let them walk. What happens when you build a billion dollar stadium, it's #7, and two teams build new in the next five years? How often can you replace the venue? I thought it was a shithole when it was built...

Re: Things to do during a 9 day break (Thanks NHL)

Most athiests and agnostics have read the Bible, but I would actually venture the guess that JNE hasn't. As we all know, all his opinions come secondhand. I, myself, have read a great deal of the Bible. Perhaps I'll try a different holy book next. It would be interesting to do a comparison. ^ True ...
