Yeah...silly me for using things like inflation rates and unemployment rates to measure the state of the economy...

"THE DOW JONES IS UP!!! WALL STREET IS AGAIN MAKING MILLIONS DAILY!!! ALL GOOOOOOD!!!!!"

~ from the "take back america from wall street and hand it back to main street" crowd


Shit, you and I would be best buddies if you weren't an awful sox homer and leave the boards when they lose!!
I would still buy you a beer - !!!

I looked it up, that's what made me make that statement, cause I honestly wasn't sure

More HRs and RBIs for guys paid to do exactly that, and Arod has a substantial edge in HRs

Virtually the same BA
Small edge in slugging for Manny


Because ARod has played a lot longer than Manny. Of course he's going to have more raw stats...


Here's Manny... BA, OBP, SLG, OPS, OPS+

.312, .411, .585, .996, 154

Here's ARod...

.300, .384, .560, .945, 143




Do explain, how ARod was a better hitter, when, literally, every normalized statistic says otherwise...


Thanks, drive through..

Makes, zero sense...


GWB blatantly used God to excuse a lot of his politics... This is fact, not opinion.

As a moral foundation...you make it sound as if he was trying to bring about shariah law in the US...

I didn't completely agree with his "faith based initiatives" either, and have listed the things I really didn't like about his tenure...

They pale in comparison to the abortion this administration has become.


And if Bush was POTUS while the IRS was targeting planned parenthood, Acorn etc...?

He'd have been fucking lynched by the mob mentality of the left...

Hypocrites...if he pretends he supports your narrow agendas, you idiots will defend them with your last breaths. This goes for both sides.....

It's 100% debateable

both 19 years
BA OBP SLG OPS HR RBI
Arod 300 384 560 945 647 1950
Many 312 411 585 996 555 1831


And just shy of 1,500 more plate appearances for ARod..


Yet only 92 more HRs and 79 RBI...

Less people have jobs today than did in January 2009.
How is the economy better?

Because the stock market is up?
it's up because there is ZERO reason to keep cash in a bank at .5% interest


your numbers are patently false

link or jump in the hudson

i work in manufacturing...manufacturing and new home sales are all up since jan 2009...those 2 are the rebar in the foundation that is our economy

when i was unemployed, i literally could not get an interview...for a long, long time. over the last 3 years i was able to find jobs when needed, seamlessly...and seem to have found one in what seems to be a near recession proof industry.

it was a total struggle to get in a door...now i get calls a few times a month from recruiters i used to use, saying i can have my choice of positions (which i no longer need)

Wait...I missed this..did you seriously call Manny pushing Mccormick "unsubstantiated"?

I'll let you know as soon as I start giving a fuck about unsubstantiated and sensationalized non-stories designed to bash a guy on his way out of town.


You are easily..the biggest fucking homer on the planet..

the economy has gotten tremendously better under his administration

denying that is simply stupidity

is it his directly doing? no...but it did happen under his watch...with help from policies implemented.

is it back to where it could be? no way...but to say it hasnt improved is stupid

i see it in my job

did you really just say the economy got "tremendously better" under this administration?

Best politically-themed Simpsons...ever:

And I loved that part where Down says, "Well, i believe I will vote for a THIRD-PARTY candidate! And Kang says,

And Ross Perot is all like:

And then the people of earth are enslaved, and Homer says:

BLAHAHAH
I will leave out RBI's and HR's
Nobody cherry picks like you do

"Arod played a lot longer" both played 19 seasons

Games played - Arod 2524 Many 2302

Are you going to blame Arod for playing 160 games a year while Many sat out with "hammy" injuries.



Stolen Bases
Arod - 318
Manny -38

At least we're taking a side..


It's easy to say "everything is fucked" and offer no real solution.

yes

it has

i see it everyday

its mostly coincidental and more likely due to the pendulum effect, but it has improved greatly
