Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind — that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution — but from annihilation.
We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We’re going to live on!
We’re going to survive!"
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

Loaded fine for me
and it was an absolute cock shot.
In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
Won't load for me either...

do you have flashblock installed?
If so, you have to add mlb.com to your whitelist. This just changed a week or two ago, not sure if it was a flashblock update or a mozilla update or a MLB update.

have you tried Google Chrome yet? that’s not bad at all.
one thing about that video, KSDK sucks. you couldn’t even see the damn ball or where it landed.

As I said, 427.
Two pitches earlier, he’d hit one just foul down the LF line that went about as far. The guy is locked in … which is scary.

Great, just great...
watching the ending of a bad football game is much better than watching Albert hit a home run….
Thanks Channel 5!
So the cardinals website says they are gonna take it slowly
with Barton, given the potential for oblique injuries to linger. Kinda wish they used the same logic with ab strains

Well, that one didn't go quite as far as AP's...
but it still went too far. :-(

I'd really like to see Dave Duncan's scouting report
on Dan Uggla. Down and in doesn’t seem like the correct plan of attack.
Kinda reminds me of that Ryan Braun scouting report.
i'm surprised they didn't give him the phantom tag on that
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
yadi is so frigging slow
Uggla could have gone back to tag the bag and still thrown yadi out at first.

why are you swinging 3-0
that makes no sense

this team tends to go against baseball common sense a little too much for me

Albert's wheels get us another lead
he can do it all folks
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
but he doesnt have very much power this year...
blech! people who say this piss me off!!! they need to have their baseball watching certificate taken away from them!!! He only leads all of MLB in SLG% and the only one even above .600 and he’s at .640ish!!!
im better now thank you!
"Baseball is like church. Many attend, but few understand." -Wes Westrum
and his ridiculously high total of walks
which decrease his number of at-bats which is why he doesnt have as many home runs…his isolated power is .284 which is still tied for third in MLB…
"Baseball is like church. Many attend, but few understand." -Wes Westrum

i hope it is of him in his stance like The Man's

"Baseball is like church. Many attend, but few understand." -Wes Westrum
yes, very nice...
they should put Lidge up there too…to get the full effect :)
"Baseball is like church. Many attend, but few understand." -Wes Westrum
yes, or this one
