        that's 1 million civilians, I thought. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 07:19
        
        It's not how many soldiers, it's how many bullets do the soldiers possess. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 07:17 2
        
        I suspect brainwashing is a big part of it as well. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 07:18 1

        Sweeney is at best a platoon guy. He hit .150 against lefties last year. - Will Hunting Dec 29, 08:15 3
        
        3 year average of .299 and .354 with a .750 OPS vs righties is not bad for 400 AB. - groiny Dec 29, 08:20
        
        He's at best the placeholder for kalish. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 08:18 1
        
        since I have not seen much of Kalish, I cannot say for sure, but I do not see - groiny Dec 29, 08:21
        
        Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't do at least 1 "big" move to shake it up, but I guess they think Bobby V is enough. - Will Hunting Dec 29, 07:37 1
        
        They definitely gutted Terry and left him to die on the dock... - Mel Profit Dec 29, 08:02
