QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 12, 2012 -> 04:55 AM) You mean "God-fearing". We all have learned the last few days that only true Believers have any reason not to rape and pillage. Jump to conclusions. Turn my posts into whatever you want them to be.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ May 12, 2012 -> 03:22 AM) I just joking about the statement game. Sorry I forgot the haha thing. Oops my bad. It was such a clean victory I thought you mite be serious being that we did kick KC's butt tonight.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ May 12, 2012 -> 03:58 AM) Yeah WHITE SOX win. That was a statement game. telling the Royals that they ain't catching us. Heck we are going to make it hard for them to score against us. CPOTY with a dinger in his pursuit of $10 Hamilton. It was a good win but I don't know if it was a statement game. As the cliche goes ... momentum is as strong as the next day's starting pitcher. If we get another good start, maybe it'll be a statement series. It was a good, clean victory -- the kind fans love. A little bit of everything in the game from a Sox standpoint.

He's a really good player IMO. Hope he can keep it up.

It seems to me the fact Sale's agent got involved means Sale was very very pissed at the decision to go to the pen. Rather than demanding a trade, the agent spoke out and voila ... he's a starter again. I'm thinking had the stupid decision not been reversed, the next step would have been Sale demanding a trade. Not much of this has made sense. It's "no harm no foul" if he comes right back and has a good outing against the Royals. He obviously was PISSED. And he and his agent handled it pretty well. They shut up until the agent came out with a few comments making it clear the Sox better do what they want.

I kind of like Santiago, especially compared to an Ohman and Crain. It seems like he has a clue out there. He gets the ball and delivers it quickly and often times with authority.

I don't see how Morel is going to be able to play with a bad back. Can you imagine all the pressure on the back taking grounders and swinging as hard as he does? Man on third nobody out. Nice.

That's very weird. We lost our feed for a while here in KC; the station was showing the Dan Patrick Show.

Rios with a huge hit off the wall. Beautiful baseball. The opposite field is your friend again, Alex.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2012 -> 01:21 AM) Greg, I've heard of state budgetary desperation, but the State of Missouri selling specialized "Jayhawks" license plates? That really takes the cake. I can't imagine people getting a license plate like that unless they want their cars destroyed in Missouri. You think if we don't score here it will bite the Sox in the butt? First and second nobody out?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 12, 2012 -> 12:20 AM) Park is barren. It's got to be the economy. Who has that kind of money to spend on a simple baseball game when you can go see minor league baseball in the Chicago area for pennies?

Dunn is really amazing this year. He should hear NO BOOS at home the rest of the year. It must be nice for him to hear cheers at home. Anybody who boos him after a strikeout this year should be flogged.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2012 -> 12:10 AM) For Greg, Royals 11-7 against the White Sox in 2011. Last time Royals won the season series, interestingly enough, was the 2000 season. 2009, split the series 9-9. Floyd, 3-8 in his career against KC, mid 4's ERA. Last 3 starts. 1.70 ERA, 4 ER in 21 IP. Let's hope this string can continue 2-3 months at least. Because sooner or later, he'll go back to "bad Gavin" where he pitches like Humber did in the second half of 2011. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 12, 2012 -> 12:14 AM) Hosmer hitting .181 with a .605 OPS. Royalstalk.com is b****ing he wasn't traded when his value was high and also can't believe he's not being sent to AAA. 1.) That was hard to take last year. Royals owned the Sox. 2.) Then that website is a total joke. the people of KC aren't on Hosmer at all. They still believe he's amazing and going to be a star. There's some stat saying how unlucky he's been, his balls in play stat. But most Royals fans still worship Hosmer.

QUOTE (Sockin @ May 11, 2012 -> 10:42 PM) Sale is back in the rotation. MRI was fine. https://twitter.com/#!/laurencewholmes/...063681411387392 yes! I'm going to pretend the past 2 weeks never happened. Too confusing and infuriating re. Sale to dwell on.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 11, 2012 -> 10:46 AM) Pills that are supposed to block the seizures...and don't. No clue why. Doctor couldn't shed light on it. Well obviously you are gonna have to go to another doctor for testing, right? Are you getting seizures all the time? Are they really bad where you pass out and your life is in danger if u are driving, etc? I'd assume you have had some tests rather than the doctor just saying he has no idea. An MRI of the brain?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 11, 2012 -> 09:48 PM) Does anyone here worship Satan? No, but I worship Dana Carvey for those Church Lady skits with the word Satan on SNL. I still can't get over jordan calling me a "vile" human for cracking a little joke. My gosh.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 11, 2012 -> 09:45 PM) And close-minded. You guys don't know me. I can assure you I lead a good law abiding life and try to help others whenever I can. Thanks badger.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 11, 2012 -> 09:43 PM) You are a vile human being. I've never met anyone more clueless. It was a joke. You ever watch TV? Stuff about hot chicks appears every other commercial. I would go to seminars on other religions though, if I had time. Why not? I don't have to join.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 11, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) Place yourself in the shoes of a Mormon. Wouldn't you be pretty offended by his post? Probably. I haven't studied Mormonism that closely. Doesn't it allow you to have several wives? That's against the law.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 11, 2012 -> 09:39 PM) He was recommending non-believers to attend this work shop. I'm a non-believer. Why would I ever want to go to something like that? Looks like a thinly veiled way to convert. Curious, would you go to an Islam work shop at the local mosque to be taught by Islamic clerics about their core beliefs? Cause he was responding to people who had answers to some simple questions. Sure I'd go to the Islam workshop if I had time. Why not? Especially if there were some hot chicks there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 11, 2012 -> 09:37 PM) I'm honestly not trying to pick a fight. I'm just tired of seeing the "My religion is awesome and all of the other ones are dumb" line of thinking. He had an issue with Mormonism. I'm thinking he's OK with most of the other religions.

QUOTE (KG#1 @ May 11, 2012 -> 09:35 PM) In some ways Christianity is a cult, but really I guess I don't know how to back that up - Eh, it is what it is. Like I said, you have your beliefs and I have mine. I take back my statement, I guess I shouldn't try to fight a battle I'm not equipped to fight. You don't have to take anything back. You said it fine. This is a message board and there will be violent range of opinions. I often forget the answers to simple questions, as well. Charles Stanley does a nice job on his tapes of explaining some mysteries like why does a good God allow bad things to happen.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 11, 2012 -> 09:25 PM) Indeed. I just happen to believe that Christianity is a cult but what do I know. "Hey everyone here who doesn't believe in my religion. I recommend you come to one of our workshops where we try to brainwash convert you into our way of thinking!" Seems cultish to me. He never said that. he said there's a program that answers some of our simple beliefs. And if anybody wants some answers to some simple questions about God, go to the meeting.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 11, 2012 -> 04:43 PM) I have been to 60 sedars in my life, I have never once heard any reference to the Matzah/Afikomen as a reference to Triune god. In fact the 3 matzahs are basically meaningless outside of the Afikomen, and I couldnt even begin to try and explain how the desert Matzah would relate to Christianity. In fact, the last piece of Matzah may even be a substitute for Lamb, as it was no longer allowed to be sacrificed after the fall of the First Temple. At a Sedar, they dont even discuss the 3 pieces all that is discussed is the Afikomen (desert piece) and how the Sedar can not end until it is found and eaten. Generally Jews believe the 3 pieces of Matzah stand for the 3 classes in Jewish society, 1) the priests, 2) priest assistants and 3) the remaining members others believe it represents the 3 temples. It should also be noted that not every Jewish Sedar has to have 3 pieces, it is just tradition. The reason that this is important is because the Sedar is basically the Haggadah. So if 3 pieces was an integral part of the ritual, it would have been written in the Haggadah, the same way that that the Karpas, Maror, Charoest etc is specifically mentioned. Here is from Jewfaq: http://www.jewfaq.org/holidaya.htm The key point you made was you havent studied Judaism. If you study Christianity, they basically try and backwards engineer the connection to Judaism. If you study Judaism you are shown how they are absolutely not compatible. You've been to 60 sedars? Wow. Do you enjoy them? I thought you were a nonbeliever from your posts on this issue, but I guess u are religious too.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 10, 2012 -> 11:23 AM) I just want to say, this team has literally been the lone bright spot in my life since April 5th. Was supposed to be the Bulls, but life happens. I enjoy this team still. Quin I prolly should take this to the filibuster area but what's the treatment for you? Do you take pills? Do they 100 percent take away the seizures? Why do you get seizures? Is it a brain problem? Take care.
