Longhorn must be doing back flips.
Josh Hamilton puts his pants on one leg at a time just like you but once he gets his pants on he hits baseballs 420 feet.
Golf hand clap
I’m definately not one of Bush’s fans but I would give him the golf hand clap if I was at the game. You respect the office even if you don’t respect the man.
Signature! I don't need no stinking signature!!
John McCain is that you?

So you didn't vote? Huh...
Or you voted and just didn’t like either. That is your perogitive.

Oh I voted
I cherish the right and priveledge of doing so.
Just wasn’t extremely confident in either choice.

Ron Paul was the only candidate I can remember
who didn’t promise to take care of me. All he promised was to make sure the government didn’t interfere with my life anymore than it already was.
Even if it’s bullshit, that’s the kind of bullshit I want told to me, instead of promises of centralized government bureaucracy and out of control spending that both major parties are guilty of in this day and age.

Terible President
Not exactly a stellar owner of the Rangers, but he was a fun governor. I’d cheer him as long as he could actually make it to the plate.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
He'll make it
Best first pitch ever-2001 World Series. As a solitary figure on the mound, perfect strike to Todd Greene. That was some ballsy shit, no matter what ensued.
"I saw your act, just didn't make it for me. Just a lot of fluff."
Yeah
He’s had a history of good first pitches. Wasn’t it Kasey Khane who bounced one in to the catcher (about 4 bounces) from in front of the mound? Stupid NASCAR. (Even if I’m going to the race Sunday…)

Well that's. Just. Great
The only Rangers game of the year I’ll be at and he’s gotta be there. Doesn’t he have some speech to go to so he can replenish his coffers?
Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.
He told me he was upset that you would be there too
But i convinced him to come anyway. Just make sure to avoid him.
the preceding post was a great success.
Funny
That’s basically what I was thinking. I thought this would be like an exgirlfriend situation and the implicit agreement to avoid the same events. Oddly the current ex is refusing to abide by this rule too. I’m going to start calling her W.
Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.
Problem is...
…if you consciously avoid the first pitch, you’ll probably miss the flyover, which has been absolutely killer the last two years! Don’t miss that – plus, it’s way better from inside the stadium than from outside, trust me.

I was at the home opener a couple years ago
And the flyover was great. I’ll just have to gauge the mood of the people around me to decide whether I’m going to boo or not. Probably should just sit on my hands.

The Anti-Bush mentality is largely composed of people who ignore the fact that many of the problems facing this country are just as much a result of congressman/senators who followed Bush blindly early on. They’re just as much responsible for where we are as he is, only they haven’t faced the scrutiny he has.
If you or anyone else wants to boo/curse/wish death upon the guy, be my guest. It just seems like a complete waste of energy.

I don’t think that’s true at all.
Those Senators/Congrssmen certainly don’t deserve any medals for their actions, but to say they are just as culpable as the President is pretty naive.
He had all the information and he’s the one who led the charge.
And even if you choose not to agree with me on that… he’s the president. The leader. The leader will always face the brunt of the blowback when a decision is ultimately judged to have been wrong. That’s just the way the world works. It’s not a matter of ingnorance on the part of the great unwashed masses, it’s just the way it is.

Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
Criticism is expected and in some cases quite deserved
However, on the whole, I am pretty comfortable with his 8 years in the office. But then again, I don’t feed off other people’s analysis, I don’t listen to what others tell me, I analyze the situation based on the facts and conclude with my own understandings and reactions.
I could dig very, VERY deep into politics on here, and in most cases, I wouldn’t have much of a rebuttal from anybody that disagrees with my theories and thesis if allowed to give my 2 cents, but let’s just say it’s better off left buried in the “outside of Lone Star Ball” vault; I’d never see it any other way, and I wouldn’t expect you or anybody else to be swayed by my opinions and the facts that support them.
So I’ll wrap that up by saying that I’d clap for Clinton and I’d clap for Obama as well, and as others have said, respect the office, instead of resorting to such a low level by booing the man.

Amen.
“‘outside of Lone Star Ball’ vault” is right. I’m very inclined to be drug into political conversations (especially living in London, where I very often have to defend myself as a Texan because of Bush’s associations with the state and the sheer hatred most other countries have for the man), but baseball is super awesome, which we can all agree on. So the more we leave politics out of it, the better.

it means when I've held a lengthy debate IN PERSON
with friends or acquaintances that are on the other side of the fence politically, and are pretty adamant about it, we usually come to the same conclusion…that we see each other’s points of view, understand the line of thinking. The respect is there. I guess I shouldn’t say there isn’t much of a rebuttal, because the debate is just that, but that we come to a conclusion other than “your opinions suck.” But when I’ve been on a blog regarding sports, and I have posted a political thought or opinion, I’m usually cussed at or told, to quote ab03 below, “your theories blow.” People that push the “open mind” on here are pretty quick to close theirs when they hear something “conservative” or “Republican.” And I feel like as soon as somebody mentions something like that, several of the opposite side of thinking come quickly to attack. There is a complete lack of respect here for people that think differently than others. So I try to stay out of it.
But it’s hard when I see so many people quick to voice their desire to boo the former President, display such hatred and disrespect, at a Rangers game. The election is over. The people spoke. Obama is in office. Get over the bitter sentiments and move on with your lives…so I speak out, still, even though I’m trying so hard to keep it sports related for the most part on here. Because nothing drives me crazier than hypocrisy and blind arrogance.

After every election there’s always a little anger. But usually its the losing side. After this election all the anger seems to be coming from the winnig side. Most of my friends, like myself, were on the losing side this election, but the morning after we were ready to move on ( maybe because we had to hold our nose to vote for JM ) and were actually cognizant of the historical aspect of the election and had nothing but high hopes for the man. But the bitterness of the winners of the election is still going on. I really have never understood that

No need to be defensive
Just asking for clarification, b/c it came across a little like you were alleging that your political brain was so big it just stomped the bejesus out of all the other little brains until they were left speechlessly dumbfounded and in awe and whatnot.
Now I can see that’s not what you meant. Cool.
And i will say this about your larger point: I think 90-5% of the people that engage in these political brouhahas at LSB are pretty respectful and generally keep on topic. It’s that 5% that ruins it for the rest of us.

I agree with everything else.
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
yeah I definitely didn't mean it that way.
I think people either come across a certain negative way because it’s a computer, it’s one dimensional so we can’t read faces or sense a tone of voice, or they really mean to be negative. And if they really mean to be negative, most people I think would show that respect in person, but when they’re on a keyboard, it’s much easier to just say something offensive or be a dick and move on.
I’m a defensive personality by nature. It’s something I struggle with.

they should take Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeldt and Gonzalez to Guantanamo Bay and Detain them for the next 8 years or so as suspected terrorists. Maybe some daily waterboarding.

As long as other international leaders
get brought before the ICC, I have no idea why the US should be above it when they act with blatant disregard for international rule of law. I know Bush et al aren’t real big on rule of law, and feel the Presidency is not accountable to anyone, but it ought to be.

i understand somewhat, from one viewpoint which relates back to how important sovereignty is but at the same time when you have someone like al-Bashir blatently ignoring it and other states not enforcing the ICC’s arrest warrant…
i think that if they fail to actually “get” al-Bashir in the near future they probably lose their credibility (as they should)

Either you enforce and submit to the ICC
or you disband it as a sham. We use it as a tool for folks like Slobodan Milosevic. We ought to be subject to it.
I believe we should have a vigorous defense, but we ought to be subject to it.
"The idea that the Rangers are going to be a solid contender for a number of years is a fantasy." - Adam J. Morris
I think
its a great idea if folks who make laws are subject to them. Maybe they would rethink indefinite detention without any hearing and they’d rethink if waterboarding is torture.
However, since they don’t seem to have a problem with indefinite detention without a hearing and don’t have a problem with waterboarding, lets detain and waterboard them for a while.
"The idea that the Rangers are going to be a solid contender for a number of years is a fantasy." - Adam J. Morris
quick question on the subject
do you think terrorists should be treated as humans? do you believe scumbag lawyers should be able to represent terrorists in a civilian court of law? these are combatants. the US Military is held to higher regards – the UCMJ is much less “friendly” of an atmosphere than your normal court of law. our combatants are held to strict standards these days. the Guantanamo Bay situation is a tricky one for me. I don’t like torture. and I think it was outside of our view for a reason. But it isn’t like Bush created Guantanamo. It has been there a while.
But I do believe terrorists have forfeited their rights as human beings, as they have voluntarily decided to terrorize innocent people. So I think “Special Treatment” applies in these cases.

I agree that politics
should be left off of this blog, even though I’m sometimes guilty of it. And as for this:
“I wouldn’t have much of a rebuttal from anybody that disagrees with my theories and thesis if allowed to give my 2 cents”
sounds like the same Bush-era arrogance. Just because you took a class, listen to Limbaugh, or, for all I know, wrote a phd dissertation on the subject, doesn’t mean that your opinions — and that’s all they are, opinions — can’t be debated intelligently. That’s a slap in the face to all of the very smart people that comment and post here.

I saw him throw out the first pitch at the 2001 College World Series
That was exciting. Before all the chaos that started a few months later.
Like him or hate him, I think we can all agree that the 8 years Bush had in office were punishment enough on the man. He was a broken, worn out man when he left. He deserves a respected retirement, just as every other former president does. I think Carter was the worst president of the last century (and his retirement has been anything but out of the spotlight), and I’d still applaud him for a first pitch. I imagine most Bush detractors would do the same thing.

yet get upset when people boo obama and clap for bush
its like the people who wore the “not my president” tshirts in 2004-2005. actually, yes he was YOUR president, just like obama is my president today.
anyway, why do people get so upset about it — so you dont agree with the man, big whoop. its BASEBALL. should i not go to opening day here in DC if obama is throwing out the first pitch? no thats dumb.
if your not going to go to a baseball fan because of whose throwing the first pitch, quite honestly you shouldnt call yourself a real fan.
i mean, REALLY? …REALLY? because hes throwing the first pitch?
if i said i wasnt going to go to see obama throw the first pitch in DC (if hes even doing it) i would get all sorts of things thrown my way (including some choice names i am sure) but if its bush its ok?

people will be in a good mood because it’s opening day, he’s a former Rangers owner, former governor of TX. While some who hate him might vociferously boo, the people who are on the fence won’t want to ruin the party.
of course, crowd dynamics can swing with relatively little pressure. if enough people in one section start booing (would be totally random in a TX crowd for a large group of anti bush people to end up in the same section), maybe mob mentality takes over.

you need to look at the more recent set of appointments.

But Opening Day is supposed to be a fun and exciting day for all of us. We’re all going to have a good time and enjoy ourselves. Bush did used to own our favorite baseball team. He’s a proud Texan. He’s not in office anymore. What’s in the past is in the past. Let it go.
Go out and enjoy yourself. Put your anger aside. Whether you like him or not, it’s just flat disrespectful to boo him, in my humble opinion. I think it takes balls for him to come do this. I’ll be cheering and I hope the majority of you do too.

What I’d rather see is the entire stadium just fall into a deafening silence. I know that wouldn’t happen, but that’s what I would do: just sit there silently with a scornful look while just waiting it out.
He sucks but the Bush Era is over, and it wouldn’t be worth ruining opening day over. Seriously, this is Texas and if you boo your odds of having a seat adjacent to some hard core Republican are pretty good. Wouldn’t want to have to deal with that for the rest of the game.

look at me, I don’t support Bush. I’m booing!!! I supported the war on terrorism like 90% of Americans did in the beginning but than when it went bad I changed my mind like all the congressman who voted yes to going to war. Just remember, Congress, and Congress alone has the ability to declare war.
With the support of large bipartisan majorities, the US Congress passed the Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq on October 11, 2002, providing the Bush Administration with the legal basis for the U.S. invasion under US law. The resolution asserts the authorization by the Constitution of the United States and the United States Congress for the President to fight anti-United States violence.
But, again, once it started to go bad, no one but Bush wanted to go to Iraq. Ridiculous

the war on terror
included the war in Iraq. You can’t claim one without the other. I suppose you would have prefered what happened in Afghanistan in the 80’s when we helped run the Soviets out of there only to let Al Qaeda take over because we left before the job was finished. Or we could have just ignored the genocide and such going on like the Clinton administration in Bosnia and Rwanda. Or maybe we could have hoped once we got Saddam out that the Iraqis would jump into democracy like Cuba did when Fidel finally gave up power. Oh wait, that’s right, Raul Castro took over and Cuba is still a hell hole. Democracy doesn’t magially appear because we want it to. In my opinion, it would have been a lot worse to leave Iraq and let another dictator take over than to stay and try and make democracy work. It would have been a huge insult to the soldiers who died over there to just let another tyrannical dictator take power, or Al Qaeda take power, or a group similar to that. You can’t support a war, change your mind, and than try and change the name to make it work for you.

The fact that...
you still equate the war in Iraq as part of the war on terror (damn do I hate that phrase – you can’t have a war on terror just like you can’t have a war on drugs) , or the post 9-11 war, or whatever you want to call it speaks volumes.
Neither example you gave is comparable to Iraq. Who ever said Democracy HAD to appear in Iraq? If it does come about it can’t be forced down people’s throats. The poeple have to want it and start the process themselves, that’s how it happened here, remember? Many people support the war in Afghanistan and the Taliban and didn’t support invading Iraq because THEY ARE TWO SEPERATE EVENTS. The sooner you Bush appologists accept that the better argument you will be able to make.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
So many things wrong with this post
the war on terror included the war in Iraq. You can’t claim one without the other.
Of course you can. We invaded one of the few Islamic countries that, according to the CIA and most terror watch groups, WAS NOT actively sponsoring terrorism against the U.S. Only AFTER we invaded them did Al Qaeda show up. So no, the war on terror did not include Iraq.
…we helped run the Soviets out of there only to let Al Qaeda take over because we left before the job was finished.
Nope. You are confusing Al Qaeda with the Taliban. They aren’t AT ALL the same thing. Perhaps in your shocking superficial grasp of geopolitics, you think all them there ragheads are the same, but they aren’t. Al Qaeda was formed specifically because of the presence of US military bases on Muslim holy ground, in Saudi Arabia. The big mistake in US and Middle Eastern relations has essentially always been twofold: Military bases in Muslim countries, which extremists see as affrontery of the highest order, and of course, our unwavering support of Israel. Al Qaeda also hate the Saudi royals with the bitterest of passions, but that just points back to reason number one. The Taliban welcomed Bin laden and his Al Qaeda douchebags after they became persona non grata in S.A.
Or maybe we could have hoped once we got Saddam out that the Iraqis would jump into democracy like Cuba did when Fidel finally gave up power.
Or maybe we could have just not stupidly invaded Iraq in the first place, instead going after Al Qaeda, WHO WERE A THOUSAND MILES FROM IRAQ. And your Cuba analogy is a really silly non sequitur. Why we continued to embargo that harmless little island, yet trade away with countries like…I dunno…China, has always been a baffling contradiction, and pointlessly counterproductive, not to mention the cuban people were the only ones that suffered.
In my opinion, it would have been a lot worse to leave Iraq and let another dictator take over than to stay and try and make democracy work.
And in my opinion, it has becomes quite clear that democracy can’t be forced down other culture’s throats, no matter how superior and fair it so obviously is, and much more importantly, it isn’t our business to go around nation building and nannying the rest of the world anyway. How’d that democracy thing work out in Palestine? I’ll give you a hint: it rhymes with HAMAS.
Point is, we have our own damn problems. A lot of them. I wish we hadn’t squandered thousands of american lives, pissed trillions of dollars away, and put our rep in the shitter just to get rid of a douchebag dictator who posed little to no threat. I don’t give a shit about the Iraqi people, i don’t know why you claim to, and they definitely don’t give 2 shits about us.
So stop strawmanning us all to death.

My 2009 New Years Resolution: Quit feeding the trolls.

Yay
Him throwing the first pitch means he’s not running the country anymore.
"Yeah, like I had a chance there" - Lancaster batter, after striking out against Derek Holland
So glad he’s throwing out the first pitch. It’s great to see. He was a spectacular president and a real class act.
While I’m no fan of our current disaster of a Prez, I kind of wish he’d throw out the first pitch at a dozen or so parks so that we could get him away from taking over the whole economy. Damn socialist.
I really hope thats sarcasm.
Spectacular aahahahahahaahha.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
