double means possibly
Our workload will double and possibly triple, ... And that means fees are going up.
attach looking ourselves stand within
Within the team, they are looking around for a leader. We need someone to stand up and take charge, someone that we can attach ourselves to.
needed save stretch weekend
We needed to stretch him. We needed to save the weekend guys.
ways
We pitched better today, but it wasn't enough. There was some improvement, but we still have a ways to go on the mound.
leaks espionage
The best leaks always take place in the urinal.
league administration traitor
It never gets old, being told you are a traitor and in league with the terrorists because you disagree with current administration policy.
depressing jealous opportunity
The most depressing thing about blogging is watching so-called 'citizen journalists' turn in to little more than easily offended partisan hacks. Any remark that is slightly less than completely and totally scripted and can give the slightest opportunity to offend some delicate soul somewhere is used to set off a series of partisan screeches and cries of outrage that would make the Church Lady jealous.
country fighting past
We need to invade Michigan and rebuild the state from the ground up. We will be greeted as liberators, we have clear supply lines, and we can easily rebuild the auto industry with the kind of money we spend on other countries we invade. Hell, our new Secretary of State, Hillary of Clinton, spent the better part of the past year fighting for the rights of average folks from Michigan, so think of the good will we have with the public. This is very doable. Just tell Congress we will give KBR no-bid contracts to fix Detroit.
decision staffing made
For an omnipotent and omniscient being, God has made some really lousy earthly staffing decisions.
party italian agreement
I really don't understand how bipartisanship is ever going to work when one of the parties is insane. Imagine trying to negotiate an agreement on dinner plans with your date, and you suggest Italian and she states her preference would be a meal of tire rims and anthrax. If you can figure out a way to split the difference there and find a meal you will both enjoy, you can probably figure out how bipartisanship is going to work the next few years.
boys wings rats
As far as I am concerned, collectively, the right wing of the blogosphere is the 'boy who called traitor.' Not a week goes by when I hear that so and so should be ostracized because they are a treasonous rat, they are a commie symp, whatever.
balls lost
We lost way too many balls off the zone. We have a long way to go to get better.
close consistent game good weapon
We want to get the game to Doug Brown. He's been our most consistent pitcher, and we think we have a weapon at the end of the game. So if we can keep the game close and get it to him, then we feel pretty good about it.
blame game phase phases three
We can't put all three phases of the game together. There isn't one phase to blame necessarily.
