what is the most unusal place in which you have ever masturbated?

JB is hitting on par with the rest of the team and I think he is getting better with the adjustment to major league pitching - I agree with HSC, leave him here and let him get experience, its all good for the future

it looks great to me, thank you!

My god I hope it's true. Kenny Williams can go with him. CWSOX45 I would not object to that at all.

game wrap up with interesting comment

If I agreed to that, I didn't mean to. I at least meant to agree that Jose blew the game and has blown others. I did not intend to agree that you don't know anything about baseball. I don't recall BMR saying that. If he did, I apologise for agreeing to that statement which I would not concur with at all. Maybe. Maybe not. We will never know. That would be Jose's loss.

maybe not the best player - although one could argue he is - but my favorite... best soccer player home page

Seriously, check that paranoia. Do I have anything against Bret Easton Ellis? You recognise the quote, obviously I know the book, you think I am able to quote from it because I keep books written by people that I have something against? Really? I happen to be a major Bret Easton Ellis fan. I love his writing and have been known to discuss my love for his writing numerous times. I think AP is a work of genius that not only describes its era but as well the late 90s in its consumerism and blindness and superficiality and is the definitive book on American culture as we know it. But I don't need to defend my literary affections to you. I do maintain membership in a BEE discussion group. You might like it. I never post there, so you should love it. The posts tend to be sporadic, weeks with nothing and then a bunch. I maintain membership to get other people's insights and to be alerted when his next novel comes out, which has lately been a subject of discussion. You ever want to seriously discuss Bret Easton Ellis, tell me what page of AP my quote is from... Bret Easton Ellis group

I think the post you refer to was made by CWSox45, not by me. 45 has been a long time poster on the MLB boards, joined after me, and has been a meber for a while, again, after I joined here, and I presume, a CLee fan. But CWSox45 is not me, never has been, never will be, nor am I CWSox45, nor will I ever be. Two separate people.

Yeah, except I never changed the color of any post to anything. I never "went back" and changed the color on anything. If I posted something in green, it was in green. If in black or any other color, then that color. I have never gone back and changed colors on something I posted. I've corrected a spelling error now and again, but never changed colors on a post. And I certainly didn't do it yesterday. Now maybe somewhere in a nearly parallel universe someone else did, but the conspiracy therories here run amuck.

Dude, yo, seriously, what is your problem? I am no fan of Graffanino, never have been and probably never will be. The conversation follows its own rolling accord - no real structure or topic or internal loguc or feeling, except, of course, for its own hidden, conspiritorial one. Just words, and like in a movie, but one that has been transcribe dimproperly, most of it overlaps.

The only thing that I have ever posted about Graf is his being unable to bunt when needed. He is hardly my man in any way, shape or form.

We have just dropped a swept series to the Tribe after losing a series to the Tigers. To avoid 4th place in the division, soemthing needs to change, now. Fire whoever.

yes and the Sox coulld have, almost did, sign him but GM Ron Schueler thought Clemens was washed up and that Jaime Navarro had more to offer so the Schueler chose to sign Navarro and not Clemens.

I watched that game and not only were the Braves angry for most of the game at the system, they also had a point from what I could see - I wonder if all the rain that day made the system particularly mistake prone.

this is out of line and not worthy of any other response than this: attack away.

It is amazing in some ways - the totally blind defense of any player. I have my favorites but no matter how much I like a player, I can pretty much point out their procs and cons, their good plays and their mistakes. No player is perfect. No player fields 1.000 or bats 1.000. The ability to say, hey, this is my guy but today he scrwed up, or made an error, or a bone hearded play - that is what is missing in all of those who go on and on about Jose Valentin. I cheer for him far, far more than most members of Soxtalk because I go to far, far more games than most, and I travel a hell of along way to get to the park and back. Off the top of my head, I can think that maybe only HSC and Steff have actually cheered for Jose more than I have. When a bunch of "he is so perfect" threads keep getting posted, am I a pompous ass for tweaking that? When people post l;ike arrogant assholes and self righteousness know-it-alls, am I to blame for tweaking that? There is a huge difference between saying, "in my opinion, Jose is one of the better shortstops out there and a valuable member of our team despite his higher tha usual error percaentage because of the way he plays and saying none of his errors have ever cost of a game and it a certified fact that we always win 60% of all agmes he plays in when that fails to take in account this year's schedule and the number of games Jose has played in versus right hand and left pitching and the Sox mark overall against those right vs left ahnded pitching. It is the arrogance and the blind arguing that I make fun of, and why should I be not allowed to ever do that? The game was barely over, and even the mose partisan Jose fan shouuld have been able to say, hey, he had the ball and he dropped it, Jose messed that play up. But did anyone say that? No - it was the instant Pavlovian dog defense of a player who muffed a play that lost the game. Did Jose alone cost the game? No, we had failures in pitching and hitting. But the fact is, when the game was on the line, Jose f***ed up, he muffed a play he should have made. And we got the instant posts that Jose is yet Mr. Perfect. Rational posts would have said, yeah, "Jose usually makes the play but today he didn't, he'll get them tomorrow." But we didn't get that; no, we got the Pavolv's Dog "don;t blame Jose, he never does anythign wrong and he didn't do anything wrong and it's not his fault..." That is not objective baseball watching, that is like a 7 year old who can't deal with reality. On top of that, I have never caled anyone out by name. The only time I ever - which is rare - use someone's first name on this board, it is to compliment. But I get called out by name - f*** you all. I could start thread titles using names with what I think of some of your all opinions - but I don't. Not because I am so cool, but just because it is childish and immature to call people out by name. There are a lot of opinions that have posted by people that I could call out by name. But I don't, because that is opposed to the spirit of soxtalk. And I do resent it when my name is used by people in posts since I have never given permission for my name to be thrown out in a cyber forum like that. It is bad list etiquette, it is a violation of privacy, and only friends speaking well of another shoyld use someone else's name in public on any internet list. Plus, YASNY, why am I a pompous ass when I have never called anyone out by name? I took a lot of s***, a lot of s***, a lot of unfair s***, over my appreciation of Royce Clayton. I never called anyone out over that, not by name, not when Royce outhit Jose last season and out fieleded him on a percentage basis. I also admitted Royce's faults. I was also the first to suggest that Royce and Jose both needed to go and we needed to start anew. I still think that. The Sox will be better off when we have our shoirtstop of the future out there, not the one who will not be re-signed after this season unless he agrees to a massive pay cut. It really was funny - Jose blows the paly and the Pavlov's dog instant defense was thrown up out here. And what did I do but agree with what was posted when I was called out by name. t appears that the bunch of people who can dish it out and cannot take it could be complied from this thread. When rational comments about Jose are made, praising him where he should eb and criticising him where he should be, there is no response from me. But when the ignorant childish "jose is perfect can do no wrong stuff" is posted, I guess that I am not allowed to make a comment without being insulted or called out, huh?" Blindness is not an admirable trait. Evaluate your favorites honestly and objectively. No player is perfect and blind defense of anyone is just silly.

BMR, we seldom agree, but when you are right, you are right Makes Christmas gift giving for others easy - just need to get some folks some kneepads. I wonder if they wait until Jose is out of the shower, or do they like him all sweaty?

I am always the first to admit my mistakes! I have been so f***ing unfair to St JosE6! Or, perhaps, when I first read the first two posts of this thread, I had a gut feeling how the game would end -

Careful! The St JosE6 police will be after you! St JosE6 is perfect! Must not have been St JosE6's fault, the earth moved or something.

I have been so wrong, I see the errors of my ways. None of St JosE6's fielding miscues ever costs us a game, not ever, not ever. How could I have been so wrong? Again, I confess, that NONE of St JosE6's fielding miscues costs us a game ever.

I saw the ad yesterday - the logo looks good on tv - I suppose since they are advertizing for people to watch it on tv and since tickets aren't exactly available anyway and since Fox prefers you watch the game on tv rather than go, that is probably why they didn't mention location, especially 6+ weeks before the game - one of the benefits of going to the game is that I will not have to watch it on Fox!

Graf has missed his share of bunts too - but that said, Rios' at bat was pathetic
