Around SBN: 2011 In Extreme Home Runs

D-backs are 3-8 since native son John McCain chose Sarah Palin as running mate. Bad for D-backs,Arizona pro teams and/or McCain?

Hey, since Arizona's very own John McCain picked Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, the D-Backs have lost 8 out of 11, and are now in 2nd place. I know McCain and Palin will win on November 4, but since this is Sen. McCain's favorite baseball team, has this cursed the D-backs? I also guess this has not been a great year for Arizona's major league teams. Shaq could not help the Suns at all, they were eliminated in the 1st round by the Spurs, and then Mike D' Antoni was hired by the Knicks, and it looks like Phoenix will never get a chance at an NBA title. The Coyotes have been an NHL Draft Lottery participant every year since Jobing.com Arena opened, and they don't have a prayer, even if  coach Wayne Gretzky is still an icon in sports. And the Cardinals are going to be bad, as USC's Heisman winner Matt Leinart, after that preseason debacle against Oakland (What has other Trojan Heisman winners like Charles White and O.J. Simpson-post 6/12/94 done lately?) is a failure, and Kurt Warner will do a decent job, but another dismal year at a stadium that sounds like the University of Phoenix might join the Pac-10.  Oh if you're wondering: The D-backs wear red, the color of Republicans, the color of McCain.  The Dodgers wear blue, the color of Democrats, the color of The Chosen One The Disgusting One, Barack Hussein Obama. D-back fans, which do you rather have? John McCain or Barry Bonds Obama? Cindy McCain or Michelle Obama that poor example of a politician's wife? Sarah Palin or Joe Biden? Brandon Webb or Brad Penny? Eric Byrnes or Manny Ramirez that player wearing 99 and has dreadlocks? Bob Melvin or Joe Torre?  As a member of Gaslamp Ball, please read my signature. It says "Padres rule, Dodgers suck!" But since my Padres are struggling, D-Backs rule, Dodgers suck. Then everyone here at AZ Snakepit will know that the D-backs will win. And so will McCain and Palin. So from a member of Gaslamp Ball to everyone at AZ Snakepit, beat the Dodgers tonight, and I hope you can snap out of your 3-8 record since McCain chose Governor Palin. Change you can believe in,my arse! Go D-Backs, Go McCain!

Oh you're really clever!

I’m sorry, but no matter which views you have in politics, it’s not like sports. No one rules or sucks. I respect voters, no matter who they vote for, if they have a reason. In your post, you give absolutely no reason to vote for McCain, besides calling Obama “The Chosen One The Disgusting One” which sounds like you are in third grade. To respect you in a political sense, you need some reasons that you vote for McCain and some reasons why Michelle Obama is a “poor example of a politician’s wife.”

Also, your post makes zero sense. You say that Arizona teams are struggling, especially since McCain chose Sarah Palin, but that both teams will “snap out of it” and McCain will win the general election.

Please, don’t burden us with moronic posts that just make you look like you know nothing.

I don't come to this site to read about McFalin

I come here to read about baseball. Please don’t bring this drivel to the snakepit.

…so if I vote for Obama, am I a terrorist?

by Azreous on Sep 7, 2008 1:15 PM EDT reply actions  

Yes.

Yes you are. And I’m a terrorist too.

No. it means

you fall for cheap talk and no substance.

The problem is, there is no difference with McCain either.

we are so screwed either way. I’m not voting for President this time around. I’ll vote for the local stuff and that is it.

Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

It's like having to pick between

A Giant Douche… or a Turd Sandwich ;)

So...time for another drink then?

Worse

It means you support the Dodgers, apparently.

Damn.

I mean, I’m probably not voting for either of them, but this thread has shaken me to my core.

I've heard

a lot of crackpot theories over the season, but this might be the craziest.

We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.

Hmmm....

I’m not sure whether or not I enjoyed reading this FanPost…. it was rather odd. I appreciate the encouragement, though, certainly. You also seem pretty convinced that McCain is going to win…. do ya know something we don’t?

I ...

I don’t even feel like getting indignant about the ‘Pubes like I normally do. I just … I didn’t even see the similarities. It’s taking two totally unrelated activities and piecing them together. It’s like, the d-backs suck because of teenage pregnancy? Really?

It should be noted...

That we’re 0-3 since this message was made.

I think there’s a solution for who’s to blame that all parts of the political spectrum can get behind.

by Azreous on Sep 8, 2008 11:39 AM EDT reply actions  

Might be 0-4

after tonight, since we are going up against Linscecum (sp?)………….
