:puke:

[lancdem]

2. What team does Frank McCourt own again?

5. Frank McCourt's from Boston

he tried to buy the Sox, but I think he owns the Dodgers.

3. Oh, shit. I think I just became a Dodger fan.

I'm a lifelong Giants fan, too. But ...

Peter Magowan................$2,000 to Bush
Frank & Jamie McCourt........$4,000 to Kerry

I think I'm gonna have to dump the orange and black for Dodger blue.

6. DAMMIT AROD

Grrrr.
There's a reason I worship DJ...he CANNOT be a Republican or I'll cry myself to death :cry:

[WoodrowFan]

7. why is this a surprise

A-road already showed himself to be one of the most selfish, money-obsessed men on the planet. Seems like a natural repuk choice.

8. I know, I know

And FWIW, I'm still not a fan of ARod. His greed was astonishing to me.
Baseball needs a salary cap- hell, all sports do. It's just fing sick.
And this is coming from a life long, die hard Yankees fan...

9. here's more (potential) bad NYY news

Giambi's obnoxious and ever-present father is a big Republican contributor, although Jason himself doesn't give money (unless it's his money his father contributes). The newly spiffed-up Giambi *does* look a little GOP, though...

10. Jeez, whaddaya expect, guys? It's the Yankees!

The New York Yankees are the Team Bush Cheney of MLB.

Go Dodgers!

[WindRavenX]

11. I get the feeling Giambi is not a Republican...

But that's probably because he's wicked hawt in my eyes :D
