I'm gunning for the KC weekend too, maybe a trip up to Minny.

QUOTE(Balance @ May 4, 2007 -> 12:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That story was just too obviously right out of a right-wing wet dream. I join in the call of "Shenanigans!!!" You know, when I saw this thread I thought for sure it was going to be a slam on illegals, then I saw Strangesox's post. Obviously Dan forgot to mention how this 11 year old was watching CNBC looking at the booming market while wearing her "f*** the protestors" war t-shirt when these two pro-choice atheist thugs broke into her house carrying GWB protest signs. Seriously though, illegals in Montana?!?!?

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ May 3, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would be mighty nice having a bat like Ross Gload coming off the bench to replace Thome's in our lineup...I'm not saying, I'm just saying. BTW, seeing him go 4-4 and bringing his average up to .307 for the season brought me upon this revelation. Amazing what one game will do. Oh right The White Sox had a suitable Gload replacement with Eduardo Perez, but they just had to have 4 borderline 3rd/4th OF's on the team.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 2, 2007 -> 06:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just because something is legal, doesn't mean you can do it anywhere you want. Try stripping at WalMart or drinking at Blockbuster. You can't do those things only because it's the store's policy. Blockbuster doesn't need a liquor license because they are not serving alcohol, and Wal-Mart's only dress code requires shoes and shirts. It's not against the law to enter a store with no shirts or shoes, but most stores will refuse your service. The government should stay out of private businesses policies. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 3, 2007 -> 01:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Legally, I'm not sure I like the idea of being able to ban smoking basically anywhere in public like this, but i'll be a hypocrite since I hate smoking and the smell of cigs and say this is great news. When I was in Cali, the difference in air quality at restaurants and bars and all of those places was just astounding. I agree completely. San Diego was awesome as my shirt didn't have ANY odor the next day. Here's some advice for these people talking about how the smoke masks the smell of piss, vomit and spilled drinks; go to a better bar and stop going to KAM's.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ May 2, 2007 -> 06:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, should have said production. And you'll still be hard-pressed to be it's 5 second run to 100 MPH. The twin turbo's acceleration time for 0-100 is 4.33.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ May 2, 2007 -> 11:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's a street legal race car. You won't be able to touch that performance in another street legal car. My future Lingenfelter Corvette disagrees.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ May 2, 2007 -> 05:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's hard to say some CEO's deserve 25M in severance pay for running a company into the ground... I'm sure they have performance clauses and probably a lot of stock, but that all comes with a HUGE responsibility.

I read Aurora is trying to take it one step further and ban sales of cigarettes in city limits. That's insane. QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 2, 2007 -> 05:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> if cigarettes are so dangerous why are they legal? because they are a HUGE tax source. You'd think the government would figure that out already with the drugs they are spending BILLIONS of dollars to fight against

Heads, how come the Cards vs. Brewers game on ESPN (and FS midwest) wasn't blacked out, yet the Sox against the Tigers was? Iowa sucks.

Leave the CEO's alone. They worked their way to the top so they deserve it. I get so sick of hearing about "upper management" on a daily basis.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ May 2, 2007 -> 04:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Meh, that's what Febreeze and washing machines are for. My mom has smoked my entire life and a good number of my friends do too, so I don't even notice the smell of it any more. I guess I'm more for people and businesses being able to choose instead of the government forcing mandates. I bet every nonsmoker notices the smell when you are around them. So when should I expect my bottle of Febreeze? I'm not going to pay to rid the smell of something use caused. I think the Government should stay out of private businesses' decisions, but I really can't stand the smell of burning tobacco and it's really unattractive when a cute girl pulls out a cancer stick.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ May 1, 2007 -> 10:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why does singleton have to do 3 innings of play by play? Maybe he is on a timer and not an innings count.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 1, 2007 -> 10:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The guy gets paid $12.5 million a year to pitch. Maybe you can't pin ALL the failures of his starts on him, but he needs to be A LOT better than he's been since he's joined the team. His record and ERA were not even league average last year. Neither was Buehrle, but I'm glad we didn't kick him out like you wanted. The money for 2006 and 2007 shouldn't be held against him because the Yankees threw all that at cash him when he wasn't pitching like an average starter on a below average team.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 1, 2007 -> 10:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm coming to realize that resigning Podsednik wasn't the only bad move this winter. This bench was horribly constructed. You can't do a whole lot about Hall getting hurt, but you cannot have Cintron/Ozuna/Mackowiak all on the same team. I would love to have a Casey Blake on this team right now. The same Casey Blake with a .222/.319/.383 line? Yes that is an upgrade over the struggling guys on our team, but it's still nothing special. He's also making $3.75 million and he is NOT a bench player.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 1, 2007 -> 10:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Didn't Vazquez tank in the 6th inning of that game, and then the Sox got the lead in the 8th on a Dye blast? That was a game where we had a lead of a few runs, and Vazquez/Cotts just blew up in the usual way. Yes, but you can't pin it ALL on Vazquez or use it against him when the bullpen blows two leads in the same game.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 1, 2007 -> 10:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Vazquez will probably tease everyone with a few more strikeouts tonight. It will be enough for some to continue to be excited about him, but he is just an average at best pitcher. He was below .500 last year on a team that won 90 games and he had the lead in all but 3 or 4 of his starts. So it was all Vazquez's fault when Jenks blew the save and got the loss in Baltimore? Funny how that works. How many times in those games that the Sox have lead were they up 1-0 after the first, or had the bullpen blow the lead and/or game?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 1, 2007 -> 10:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Three run deficit may as well be ten with this struggling offense, and Washburn -- he of fifteen pitches and disgusting deception -- on the mound. Thankfully the Sox are only down by 2, not 3.

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 1, 2007 -> 09:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is anybody else getting worried about Cleveland running away with it this year with Detroit the obvious second best team in the division? Shouldn'y you be more worried about the fact that you're always worried about something different on a daily basis? Has anyone ever seen soxwon and greg775 in the same room?

I was going to ask how pepole would react if Luis had a decent game. Then again he could follow suit as our free agent signing who homered in his first White Sox at-bat.

QUOTE(BearSox @ May 1, 2007 -> 05:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know what to ask now... all you guys took my questions. Good work. Gio: Where's our Liriano?

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ May 1, 2007 -> 07:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sean Tracey, for the record, has an 8.31 ERA in AAA for Baltimore. no great loss. Not even a minor loss. Ozzie ruined him too.

80% Don't really care, and I'm sure Uncle Sam doesn't care as long as I am a true American.......one that pays lots of taxes.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 01:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't even think its a shot on the Sox. I just think it sounds flat out stupid to make a statement, almost implying the Sox did something wrong to be at 25. The Giants can have Tim Lincecum and the number 10 pick, I'll take my 90 wins and the number 25 pick. Actually Lincecum was drafted in 2006 so if the Sox wanted to be anywhere near in the position to draft him, they would have to be one of the 10 worst teams in 2005. I'm calling out anyone who is willing to make that sacrifice for Lincecum. You are not a Sox fan, and you don't know jack s*** about baseball.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 11:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He hasn't made an immediate impact, but if you're willing to overlook Garza's minor league statistics because it hasn't helped the Twins immediately then it's obvious "impact" in your mind only applies to someones value in the majors. What the hell did you think your quote was reffering to? Of course they are talking about the majors otherwise it doesn't mean a damn thing. I remember Jon Rauch having some solid years in the minors. I guess he's an impact player (at the minor league level) too. QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 11:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alex Gordon and Tulowitzki have quality minor league statistics to fall back upon. If their past is any indication, they'll gradually improve. What does it matter if their impact is immediate or several years in the future? The White Sox screw up by selecting Lance Broadway and Kyle McCulloch two consecutive drafts. They screw up by failing to develop hitting talent without the same swing deficiencies. And, most importantly, they fail to compensate for low draft positions by improving their position among international scouting. You think our low-round drafting has been atrocious? Just try and spin our lack of success overseas. We haven't produced as much as a Neifi Perez clone since Ordonez and Lee. Are you kidding me? Seriously? It's related directly to the quote in your sig. How is it that it doesn't matter when other teams' prospects make an "impact," yet you keep counting the current and last couple of years against the Sox? How is OK to assume those guys will make an impact in the future yet we can't do that with Lance Broadway or Egbert? Total hypocrisy.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 10:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You don't need more than two years to understand the value of a prospect. Garza -- drafted #25 in 2005 -- has dominated minor league competition at every level, has power stuff, and happens to be in the right organization for pitching development. I don't need more than two years to figure that out. .....and how exactly has he made an "impact" for Twins themselves? How many of the thousands of players drafted over the past couple of seasons have even seen the big leagues? Zimmerman is one of those "impact" players, Tulowitzki, Travis Buck and Alex Gordon are all up but haven't made an "impact." How is it only the Sox are screwing up here?
