I guess we will see what happens when scientists really see the evidence. These guys are being awful secretive about the location of the body and the spot where they found it, I want people to really see what this is. Unfortunately, the face on it looks a lot like the gorilla halloween masks, So im not really buying it.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Aug 6, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) Yeah, I can see why one would hate him. I mean he is simply a guy who has played at a higher level than the talent he has and made the major leagues after laboring in the Minors for years, when no one gave him a chance to even get to the Show. The only reason he got called up was a September injury to Andres Galarraga after being told by the Nationals they didn't have the budget to call him up. Yeah over achieving, quality teammates really suck! If you havent noticed, the theme of the thread is who do YOU dislike. Not who SHOULD you dislike. Its an opinion, there are plenty of them in this thread. In fact, there are a lot of pretty good players, teammates, and teams mentioned in this thread. I dislike Johnny Damon(especially bearded Jesus Damon), Jason Giambi, Johan Santana(for all of those years he just held the Sox under his thumb), James Posey, Jason Kidd, Terrell Owens, Bill Belichek, Jon Gruden, Al Davis

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 09:15 AM) I want Casey Blake. He can hit well in the clutch, plays very good D and seems like a good clubhouse guy. I would rather no see Fields and his shotty D and I think he has been messed up mentally since last year (not sure how but I think it has happened). If the Sox are too be consistent next season offensively, we can't have .220 hitters in the lineup. Casey Blake plays very good defense? News to me

The only term I would attach to the Sox with certainty is streaky. They can be good, really good at times. And other times they can be bad, really bad. But they arent a bad team

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 11:39 PM) That was an amazing list of our top draft picks. Man did we whiff on so many. How could scouts miss on so many guys. I guess it's totally an inexact science. You never know how high schoolers will develop and you never know how the aluminum bats influence college stats. Amazing. Look at draft picks from all teams in the same period of time. The entire draft is a crapshoot, tons of players never work out for teams. Its not just the Sox, but we are close to the Sox so we see everything as a failure compared to other teams

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) i think someone has in their signature "A bad team is going to win the AL Central. Let's hope it's the Sox", it's been pretty accurate even up to this point, who knows what'll happen to either of these teams if they make the playoffs... they say anything can happen. I dont think its accurate to say the Sox are a bad team. Not at all

Its amazing how much John and Jordan look alike. I looked at an avatar (I think ChiSonix) with Jordan in a Texas jersey and did a double take

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 07:34 AM) Urlacher really should do condom commercials though, he'd be perfect. "Wear condoms when dealing with these random hoes people, or you will end up like me with a crazy b**** making my life miserable" LMAO. And at the end of the commercial Michael Flatley can step into the screen and say "I used condoms. And now I am 11 million dollars richer. Trojans, the brand to trust"

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) I'd love to get Zimmerman, but we might have to give up Poreda and Fields for him. Can Aubrey Huff still play an OK 3B? If so, he'd be great- one of the most under-rated players in baseball. He could never play an OK 3rd base. The guy is a butcher at the hot corner, thats why he has pretty much been a career DH

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 04:18 PM) And what about the way he speaks to people, sometimes in his own circle? I guess he's the golden boy of the football team though. But you are assuming all other football players are nice guys and Urlacher is not because you have a buddy who didnt get a tip. To be honest, this is the first I have ever heard of Urlacher being a "Im better than you" non tipping jerk. Urlacher had private text messages put in the sun times by his kids mom because she is trying to get money from him and make everythign difficult for him. And he takes the high road everytime and doesnt talk about any of the crap she pulls (like not dropping the kid off where she was supposed to, which is what set him off in those text messages), he just lets the court handle it. Urlacher very well may be a private person who doesnt like his life exposed the way it has been, which makes him seem like a jerk. But I dont know the guy, and I am certainly not going to put him in Briggs boat because he made a bad choice and went without a condom

Where did Carlos get hit? Tricep area again? Did he or Ozzie look pissed?

You know he is completely wasted. Probably passed out on his arm like in that picture he posted of himself

OMGZZZ I CANT BELEEVE THE DECISION TO START BROADWAY WHAT A BAD ONE!!!!!!/green

Hawk must be having an aneurysm right now Farmer too

*paging greg775, paging greg775* Thome Hit a Homer

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 06:45 AM) Note to kyyle,I f***ing love Generation Kill. Good stuff. I always miss the new episodes, but its on all week

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 03:01 PM) So it sounds like Aaron Crow will not sign? They said he already signed with an independent team http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/story/831560.html

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) Another big RBI situation for Jimmy just as you said he'd get more this season. Dye could have blown the game open just as well. There are going to be games where Dye does nothing and Thome drops two bombs and the team wins. Sometimes its your day, sometimes its not

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:13 PM) How old is Alex Gordon? It's his full second year if I'm not mistaken, has he shown some potential? (Sorry, I don't watch a ton of KC baseball) He is gonna be damn good if he stays healthy

Who is Horribel? Has he signed yet?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 09:21 AM) pfft. This is his own personal business. Frankly, we don't know what his baby's mother acts like, but from the bits and pieces I've gathered, I know enough to draw some tentative conclusions. Sounds like a perfect case of not acting like you deserve respect. She is a crazy b****. She tried to sue Michael Flatley for millions(IIRC for rape) and lost the suit, now he is countersuing edit: She LOST the suit and now owes Flatley 11 million bucks. http://www.efluxmedia.com/news_Michael_Fla...suit_11568.html

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:12 PM) At the beginning of the year there were plenty of people saying Quentin shouldnt be on the roster because he had such an abbreviated ST and didnt look all that great in the time he played. I just reread the Wise callup thread, it was more of a call for Bourgeois or Getz, not Owens. My bad

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) Someone criticized Owens over Wise? Someone was upset that CQ made the roster? At the beginning of the year there were plenty of people saying Quentin shouldnt be on the roster because he had such an abbreviated ST and didnt look all that great in the time he played.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) Luckily, it's against the Royals, but this isn't the same team as last year who he dominated. Why would we start a guy who was bad in AAA over a guy like Poreda who has the stuff and control or even Carrasco? This organization continues to amaze me with their decisions. Every decision that has been criticized in the past year still has left the team in first place in August. From resigning Uribe, Keeping Quentin on the roster, giving Alexei a shot, Bringing up Wise over Owens, everything has been criticized. Let the kid pitch and see what he has got. He did pretty well last year given a shot, I dont think its terrible decision making to give him another shot

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:15 PM) Thanks for nothing Yanks. They gave back 1st place last night. Now its up to the Sox to keep it
