Around SBN: Randy Moss A Raven?

I got a kick out of this article and wanted to share it. Just shows you how another man's garbage could be another man's treasure. This Bengie Molina they're talking about in this article sounds wonderful, how come Brian Sabean never signs guys like this?

I am surprised Rupert Murdoch allowed an article that is in support of giving jobs to a “Libreal, socialist” Canadian and a “brain dead, Caribbean” hacker.

Backwards.

It’s the left-wingers who are obsessed with intervention into other people’s lives.

He’s just sellin’ a product.

Yeah! Those left wingers are all the same… intervening all the time and stuff.

Utter frustration and futility.

They’ve got penetration down to a science!

It takes north wingers to construct fortifications appropriate to the task of inhibition.

On top of that, said former Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi, who had Molina in Toronto in 2006, he comes through in key spots.

CLUTCH!

by xanthan on Dec 11, 2009 7:44 AM PST reply actions  

that’s why Ricciardi no longer has a job and is available to make comments on misinformed articles like this one.

PoLOLst

The first two attributes of Molina that the article notes:

“The two-time Gold Glover has plenty going for him. He won a World Series with the Angels in 2002…”

It’s called “soda” and that’s probably part of the reason he’s so fat.

I am from the northeast and we definitely call it soda…

I am in N Carolina now…They definitely don’t call it pop around Raleigh/Durham…Pretty sure most people call it soda throughout the state…

There’s like 13,000 in the whole county. They probably surveyed the three people who answered the phone that day, one said “pop”, and the other two hung up.

"My friend once told me a story about San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum. He said his cousin went out to a bar in San Francisco and saw Lincecum there. He went up to him to give him a handshake.

Lincecum refused. He didn’t want to give him a handshake. He wanted to give him a chest bump."

Stats for ‘other’ can be found on popvssoda.com.

Top choices for ‘other’ in order of popularity:

soft drink
www.4chan.org
/b/ rules all!
tonic
soda pop
drink
tarzan slam

Also, 42 respondents from Idaho had this to say:

Hey peeps, Idaho is beautiful and there are at least three resort towns here that Hollywood A listers have homes in, Bruce Willis, Robin Williams, Tom Hanks, and Arnold Schwarzenegger the CA governor himself and thats just naming a few. Also the capitol “Boise” has a great downtown with a great night life probably thanks to Boise State and there football team giving us so much recognition, Bruce Willis and Wee Man from Jackass both own clubs in downtown Boise. We have also been home to quite a few red carpet events at the Egyptian Theater in downtown Boise, The Bourne trilogy and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button just to name a few. So don’t poke to much fun our direction! There’s plenty of states in this union that see a lot less action then us, how about Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota. Although I’ve been to all three of those states and they have great things to offer too.

I’m not sure these data can be considered entirely scientific.

I’m wondering why 80-100% of Trinity County, CA calls it “coke” while the rest of the state obviously has it right.

They only surveyed one resident of that county, and apparently he calls soft drinks “Leave me the hell alone!”

Funny how CA (and AZ I guess) and the northeast agree on this subject.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.
