QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) Yeah with clear citations to reports from DEA Judges, the Institute of Medicine, etc. Who knew the DEA and the medical establishment were extreme leftists? When you can't defeat the facts, just lambast the messenger. Sorry, Nuke. It isn't going to work this time. The fact is that Marijuana is illegal. PERIOD. None of this other horses*** matters. If you dont like it then change the laws........( good luck with that one ). This was my favorite quote right here. He compared pot use to eating 10 potatoes?! LMFAO!!! Who the hell is going to eat 10 raw potatoes at the same time?! I'd be full after eating 1 or 2. Do you pay any regard to how inane things are before you reference them to back up your point? There are plenty of drugs on the market that are legal that people can use to alleviate their aches and pains. If they dont like it then tough s***.

Well, tonights game should be a tad more interesting with Pujols in the lineup. I dont think he's 100% but even at half strength he's still dangerous. Should be a good one!

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 11:19 AM) YEAH! Let's send SWAT teams in to arrest AIDS, glaucoma and cancer patients who use medical marijuana to increase their desire to eat food and keep things down! (and lower the pressure on their eyes for glaucoma patients) They're some real hardcore criminals who need jail to teach them what medications to take! And with mandatory minimum sentences, they'll be either dead from the disease or in jail for a very long time. Since they can't be released early (thanks mandatory minimums for simple posession!), that means that actual, VIOLENT criminals get released (rapists, murderers, etc.) because there isn't enough room in the jails to house non-violent drug war victims and actual violent criminals. Drug Enforcement Agency's Administrative Law Judge, Francis Young concluded: "In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within the supervised routine of medical care." Some med marijuana facts: http://drugwarfacts.com/medicalm.htm It wouldn't be an LCR post without the rantings of some leftist website being presented to us as "facts". :rolly

QUOTE(valponick @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 12:21 PM) 1 game for Ozzie, 3 for Riske. Riske to appeal, Ozzie to miss tonights game. Once again. Other teams get to hit our players at will and when we respond we get in trouble. This is such f***ing bulls***. T-Minus 5...........4...........3...........2..........1 until Ozzie blows up on Bud Selig.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 04:29 PM) Mariotti on Arount the Horn says the gay community is "calling for Guillen's head." Somehow I doubt this. Often when people speak in generalities they're wrong. I can't speak for the gay communtiy, but can anyone honestly imagine people absolutely livid and shaking their fists at the thought of Guillen calling Mariotti a ***? People are sensible. Most are looking at Guillen and realizing he's an ignorant boob. I'm confident Guillen will do something with the gay community to help his image. As much of a *** as he is, I'm quite sure that Fairyotti is in close contact with the leaders of the gay community. QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) this is really really lame, commisioner bud can act on some comments within days, but is still lookin for a way to discipline people for steroid use? This further adds to my hate of Bud Selig...what. a. f***in. bum. Agreed. What a f***ing hypocrite he is. Yet another example of symbolism over substance.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 08:55 AM) Most of the time Ozzie is right and politically incorrect at the same time, then when you add his command of the English language, you get one funny dude. LOO BISH!!!! HOO MANI TIIES I GOT TO TELL JEW NO TO MAA FUN O MY ACCEN!!!!!! I JEW AIN GO NOTING TO SAA NISE DEN DON SAA CHIT!!!!

Ozzie IS Ditka. In fact.........Ozzie kicked Ditka's ass. Think about it this way. Ditka lasted 10 years in his job, which is rather extrordinary in his line of work, and is still revered as the king of Chicago sports. Ozzie will, in the final analysis, be regarded in the same positive manner. QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 08:47 AM) The media is eating this crap up, and why are these reporters asking him about Mariotti anyway? Just to ignite the fire. He needs to stick to answering baseball questions, and not questions about how he feels about The Big Hurt or Magglio or Mariotti. That is where he gets into trouble, because he tells them exactly how he feels. Thats why I like Oz that much more. He actually has the balls to tell people what's on his mind, which is what most of us are thinking but afraid to say to anyone, and makes no apologies for his statements.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 11:40 PM) I'd love to see the reaction on this board if someone called Ozzie a "wetback." Whoever would be stupid enough to call Oz a wetback would get laughed at. Any idiot know that that term is used to refer to Mexicans and Ozzie is Venezuelan.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 08:30 AM) Why are you guys making me feel like a teacher in the Romper Room?? Can't you just use "Ignore"?? Its there for a reason. Moving threads because they end up in a b****fest is getting REAL God damn old people. Learn to act like adults. I agree Capn. This guy obviously has nothing important to add to this site.

QUOTE(holly wiggins @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 07:57 AM) I see what you're saying, but I really don't buy that Ozzie hates homosexuals. I don't see Ozzie as a homophobe; I see him as a Latin male, and a jock. Both of those cultures are drenched in testosterone and neither makes any real place, openly at any rate, for anything but the heterosexual lifestyle. What Ozzie I believe MEANT to say was what he said yesterday, in his apology/clarification: "But I'm not going to back off of Jay. If he wants to know, he should be talking to me here, right now. If he were a man, obviously he'd be here right now." He's calling Mariotti "less than a man" by OZZIE'S definition of manhood. He used a word to do it that was not cool. But remove that word, and his sentiment stands. JMO. Fairyotti isin't a man.....he's a maggot. He's not even dogs***.......he's whats left of dogs*** after the flies get done with it. What kind of a fairy would constantly write columns baiting Guillen and the Sox then refuse to confront them directly and whine about insensitivity when the Sox fire back at him?

QUOTE(Mike @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 08:23 AM) And it all started after the Indians game when the Sox almost came back to win. That was right about the time when people were starting to question this team's heart. I guess those questions were answered.........in full!

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 12:03 AM) Simple question.....who would you rather have out there in center, with NO regard to offense? Much as I miss AROW out there in Center I think BA has the potential to develop into every bit the CF Rowand was. I can't make a call on this one at this time.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 06:05 AM) And, the response. Hilarious. I wish I could stick around all day and watch the comments unfold. Ok, I am almost sure that Jay completely ripped the choice of Ozzie Guillen as coach for the White Sox. The guy is such a bald faced liar in print, it is silly that he can just write whatever he wants. Also, Teddy (Theodore) Greenstein has some interesting comments about Jay Wouldnt that be hilarious if, in the wake of all this mess, Mariotti gets fired for letting his ego get out of control and ripping the Sun Times? It wont happen, but damn would I love that drama If Fairyotti got fired it would be the happiest day in Chicago sports all year long.

Fairyotti's official response. http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay22.html Basically a column-long whine fest about how Ozzie is insensitive and contains his call for for Oz to be suspended for 2 weeks. f*** YOU FAIRYOTTI!!!!!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) Oh for sure. Sure Rowand had to dive and run into walls since he's slower and got worse reads than Anderson does in CF, but Rowand's getting dirty really fired up the troops, kinda like McMahon would do when he ran on passing plays. Actually, Ozzie is the Latin Ditka too, this team is so much like DAAAAAAA BEARS, it's scary. Talent is just something prima donnas have, all of our players are blue collar grinders. I was thinking about that last night after the game. Couple of things....... Remember when Ditka strapped on roller skates and went skating in the Metrodome? LOL! Remember when Ditka threw a wad of chewing gum at some guy in Frisco? LOL!! This isin't the 1st time we've had a manager in this town with a flair for the dramatic.

JUST STOP IT ALREADY. Your posts get more rediculous and petty by the minute around here. In the context of the Sox being the defending champs and having an even money shot to repeat this season your constant droning about this perceived media bias of yours shrinks to total insignificance. The Chicago media has said bad things about the Sox.........and the Cubs........and the Blackhawks...........and the Bears..........and the Bulls and will go on doing so whenever they think its deserved. The Chicago Media has said good things about the Sox.........and the Cubs..........and the Blackhawks...........and the Bears.........and the Bulls and will continue to do so when they think its deserved. Posters on this site don't care about your crusade against this alleged bias and the fact that you only chose to start posting here because WSI got tired of you makes you look even more foolish. If you want to contribute something useful to our discussion of what is shaping up to be another magical season on the South Side then please do so.......if you cant then do 99.9999999% of the posters on this board a favor and go somewhere else.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 11:13 PM) Someone needs to wear a Guillen jersey at the corner of Halsted and Belmont this Sunday. Whoever did that would probably get dragged into a dark building and have a certain scene from Pulp Fiction re-enacted on him.

Henceforth that certain columnist from the Sun Times will be referred to as...... Fairyotti

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 11:10 PM) You want to re-acquire a guy that had the game tying hit AGAINST us in game 2 of the WS last year? Whoa, now that is shrewd thinking. LOL You are my nemesis tonight. Nothing gets by you.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 11:08 PM) A lot of Sox fans say they dislike Jay Mariotti, but I'm pretty apathetic to him. I don't read the Sun Times and I don't watch ATH, so maybe my lack of Mariotti exposure is the reason for my apathy towards him. The only complaint I have with the guy is that he never enters the clubhouse to interview and get to know Sox players--though that's partly because the organization doesn't want him there. I'm not apathetic to Ozzie's gay comment to Mariotti. I find it hilarious and refreshing. Today's society looks down on such use of "***" and people are bullied into silencing their use of it. There's no silencing Ozzie though, and the fact that he used it publically is a step in the right direction. He claims that he was threatened with physical harm if he went in there. What a f***ing pussy.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 11:00 PM) The other thing I worry about here is the mop up relief spot. Politte was terrible, and after last night I think Montero is just as bad. What if we have a 14 inning game at an NL park like game 3 at Houston last year? When we need our 7th pitcher of the game in the 14th, Montero will come in and blow it. Kenny needs to address that, depth is key. I couldn't agree more. It is totally vital to this team that we correct the mistakes we made in the off season and re-acquire Damaso Marte and Jose Vizcaino.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 10:54 PM) Which team is a threat then? I'm not talking about in the WS, just to get there. Right now if you look at straight up records its the Cards and Mets but then there's Houston who always makes their move at the end of the season. Its hard to say really.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 10:55 PM) Beat you to it with the last post on page 1 . DAMN YOU!!!

How could you people forget Roberto Alomar?!?! This guy Icoochie or whatever his name will never amount to anything. We need Alomar along with his solid fielding and fearsome hitting back on board!

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 10:47 PM) I was LMAO when Ozzie started calling Jay "A garbage." LOO BISH. I TIRED O JEW PEOPLE MAAIN FUN O MY ACCEN! FO DA LAS TII, DON JEW FOOKING GRINGOS TAA CHIT ABOU ME O I CAA JEW OU LII I DID WIT DAT f***** YAA MAREEODE!
