Just when everyone is thrilled over the Sox, read this--> |
|
http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=32082The team's star pitcher, Curt Schilling, signed off during an ABC television interview with the words: "Make sure you tell everybody to vote, and vote Bush next week" -- a quote gleefully passed on to reporters by President George W. Bush's campaign.And this IS true, my mother saw it. :kick:

5. the POINT is, everyone seems to think the Sox win is a sign/omen, etc. |
|
It's to point out the Sox are not ALL for the "hometown boy"..

12. I don't think anyone ever said that. You have to figure in an |
|
organization as large as a major league team there will diverse views. On the other hand, I do think the symbolism of a team from Boston, winning the championship, coupled with the NE Patriots winning the super bowl last year, is unique.

15. another multimillionaire for bushco |
|
yawn - just too bad he got a stage to blather from - but it probably wouldn't have been any different if St. Louis had won - one of their multimillionaires probably would have done the same thing.

7. Remember when Tom Brady supposedly was backing Kerry |
|
and everyone got so upset? I'm sure they'll get equally upset now, right? RIGHT????
There were even rumors Brady had to call off a fundraiser, though I have no idea if that's true or not.

Sox in 4 straight over the NL team that won more games than any other team, including 2 games in the NL park with no DH. Cards never even had a lead.
Repeat again?
Schilling is a born-again -- he thanked Jesus for his victory over the yanks in game 5 of the ALCS. Discount.

11. Who Cares...He's A Rent-A-Player |
|
All this fatass cares about is his tax breaks and his investments and how he can make even more money off this thing. In a year or so, he'll be gone from Boston with his bundle of cash, going back to Texas or NASCAR-land.
This dude is as Boston as Bunnypants is a native Texan.
