Rank the Sox Killers: Grudz, Sweeney, Emil Brown, Javy Vazquez, Joey Cora, Mark Tehan

Sweeney, Grudz, Emil Brown = all Sox killers

Bulls***. I'm hoping I'm not too ignorant here, but why are you so strong to form an opinion on something when you are clearly clueless on the subject? Why should Balta take you by the hand and explain everything to you?

QUOTE(mreye @ Aug 15, 2006 -> 01:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm sorry. Am I missing something? You slept until 11:00 and got a total of about 9 hours of sleep and I should feel sorry for you? I must be getting old. Yeah, how about it. I'm 22 and that's nothing. I went to Tuesday's Yankees game. Due to it being in extras, and I-55 going from 3 lanes to 1 TWICE, I didn't get home until 1 AM. Went to bed around 1:45 AM. Woke up at 5:15 AM. Got out of bed at 6 AM. Arrived at work around 7:30 AM (about 50 minute drive.) worked until 4 PM, went to second Job back home and started at 5 PM and finished until 10 PM. So that's 13.5 hours of work on 3.5 hours of rest.

I just noticed his era... he seemed so promising a couple seasons ago lol He's out of shape and can't strike anyone out. He's worthless.

They had the Red Sox at .01% to win the World Series when they down 3-0 back in 2004. After the Sox beat Detroit last year, the Sox only had a 96% of winning the divison before the 3 game series with Cleveland. "cool" isn't the word I would use to describe it

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 12:35 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Everybody here's right though, he sucks, he's hanging on to one good start. Yep. He sucks.

I counter with http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4...01414631&q=

Only two teams in the history of baseball have had the most wins in their league, went wire to wire, and swept the World Series. The 1927 Yankees and the 2005 White Sox.

Anyone else see the Soxman go down the aisle?

Man, f*** Josh Beckett. He's supposed to be good against teams the first time they see him.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 04:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For all the crap Freddy has gotten this year (some of it deserved), he's been pretty good of late. Garcia has a better outing than Buehrle, yet I guarantee when he gives up his next first inning run, people are going to be screaming for him to be pulled or hoping he breaks his ankle.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 02:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I really wish he would have twisted his ankle when he went back into the dugout before. The code of conduct asks not to make posts about players like this. Seriously. Wishing for one of our guys to get hurt? Get a grip.

SEE MY SIG Also, could Nancy get in trouble while playing music during the game's action?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:16 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He can't defend, but if your going to diss Adam Dunn at the plate, you really don't watch baseball. We played Dunn when he was playing his worst ball of the year, and now he's great in every offensive category except average (and .260 isn't too terrible). Get a clue. Anyone who thinks I said Dunn is overrated based on his numbers this year really doesn't read message boards.

Mota was DFA. Man, that was a s***ty trade for both teams.

I'm talking about his career. If we're only talking about overrated players of this season, then he does not make my list.

QUOTE(samclemens @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 07:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course they drank before they were 21. i did, you probably did, and 99% of people do. in my experience, smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol was not what brought harder drugs into the frey. it was pot, eventually. theres a huge difference between a teenager stealing booze from their parents and a teenager hanging around with drug dealers. drug dealers will always push something harder. you are referring to cigarettes and alcohol as drugs. alcohol i agree, but cigarettes, no- and both are not illegal. i cant beleive that the people i know are 1% of all people who smoke weed. the normal progression of drug use has touched every single person who smokes weed (smoke for a while, maybe years, until something else is comes around, be it mushrooms, acid, eventually coke- and thats what got the people i know), unless they have a great amount of self-discipline. weed is just another drug generally used to escape- that is why making the jump to something harder is not a big deal to some people. they are just looking for the next high. its unrealistic to say that 99% of people who smoke weed never make the jump to a harder drug. at least, i think thats what you are saying. No, no, no. I'm saying 99% of pot smokers used alcohol or tobacco before moving onto pot or harder stuff. (at least that was from the show.) I ahve friends in the same situation as you, but it ALL started with alcohol. They drank when they were 15. Didn't like spending so much money on alcohol and hated the after effects of its abuse, so they started smoking pot. Once they started hanging out with the wrong people, they started the other stuff. Those other people brought into their lives by buying drugs. If pot was sold legally in a store, I doubt my friends would have ever started hanging around those people and not gotten themselves into the situations they are in now. To be fair, they do drugs, but they work for a living and have a good time. They pay their taxes, they don't harm other individuals, and most of the time do their things at their apartment or whatever.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did somebody in this thread actually say Adam Dunn is overrated?? I'll just ignore that ignorance.....he's having an incredible season and without him, the Reds are probably 10 games under .500 instead of 4 over. Yes I said it, and it's due to BP and over stat rags creating stats like EqA and using BABIP as an excuse for his crappy average. I saw him play in cincy, and he was terrible. The fans were (suprisingly) all over him (kind suprised because their scoreboard shows OBP and SLG%.) One poster here called him one of the top ten "hitters" of the game. The fact that someone would make that claim makes him very overrated. He'd rather try to get a walk than knock in a run. You don't have to swing for the f***ing river every time you're at the plate.

Hey, it could be worse. Imagine how Yankee fans are reacting. "YO Luigi! Didn't we have this Vazquez bum on da Yankeeeees?" "Mario, we ain't getting no runs. Now go downstairs and grab a box of rigatoni while I watch MOOOOOOSE pitch the bottum of the 4th"

Stiff, inconsistent umpire + rain delay + typical yankee/Red Sox lineup that would rather run up a pitch count than score a run = 1 AM finish at the earliest. Good night! Hopefully Cotts doesn't blow it.

So the first drug your friend(s) did before the "hard" stuff was pot? They didn't drink alcohol (which is illegal if you are under 21,) or smoke a cigarette (Illegal if you are 18?) Weird. Your friend(s) make up 1% of anyone who has ever smoked pot. (From P&T Bulls***.) Personally I feel if people really wanted to mess with their bodies and alcohol and pot were legal, they wouldn't need the harder, illegal stuff.

QUOTE(samclemens @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i meant that usage would increase, and it would not be good. if you are claiming that usage would eventually decrease to current levels after a spike if its legalized, i cant agree with you. i think usage would stay higher permanently. and i think thats a bad thing. Why would it be a bad thing? How did the prohibition with alcohol work out? This was brought up in another thread, but the original poster never responded to the comment, is anyone concerned about stoned drivers. I'm certainly not advocating driving stoned, if I had a choice to remove all of the drunk drivers in the world with a stoned driver, I'd do in a heartbeat. IMO legalizing pot would result in less alcohol abusers, less drunk driving, less accidents, and a lot less vehicle related-deaths. There has been a lot of research on stoned driving, and the results are interesting: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.f...t_uids=15094417 Note the bolded part.
