Wouldn't surprise me if this turned into a 10 page thread on how big an asshole Pauly is for --gasp-- liking his own team. Personally, if he thinks that we don't need a bat, he's wrong. But of course he's gonna stand by his teammates here.

Vacuums suck.

Don't look now, but Oakland has now lost 4 in a row after getting swepts by the O's. Guess they suck too.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) I must say Soxtalk has way less Cubs hatred than any other Sox board. This is a good thing, now more people get to read my witty, intelligent and grammatically incorrect posts. Hell atleast I know the difference between their, there and they're unlike some people. Also, thanks to you, we've seen a steady decline of Mike Caruso hatred.

We've been linked! Check out paragraph 4. Pale Imitations

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 06:38 PM) Correction, WE don't suck. WE are awesome. Jon Adkins sucks. Correction: Jon Adkins doesn't suck. His pitching sucks.

QUOTE(thomsonmi @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 06:23 PM) Oh for the days when we didn't have the deal with the pressure of being 12 games in first place in the middle of August. Hate to break it to ya, but we're only up 11 games. Face it...we're f***ed!

2000 Pitching staff Jim Parque Mike Sirotka James Baldwin Cal Eldred Bad Jon Garland Plus bad defense 2005 Pitching staff Mark Buehrle Good Jon Garland Freddy Garcia Jose Contreras Orlando Hernandez Plus good defense Yah, I know who I'd be more comfortable with going into the playoffs.

How come WCIU isn't an option?

FWIW...

QUOTE(rangercal @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 05:00 PM) Rowand!!? Even if Rowand got through waivers.... I would not include rowand for Griffey. No f***ing way. We wouldn't trade Rowand. This is just further proof that Steve Phillips continues to mistake his ass from a hole in the ground.

Of course, then there's Steve Phillips, who I suspect knows no more than we do...

Just went through Buster's latest chat, and he really says nothing...unless I'm missing something.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 04:31 PM) Does pitcher A have a Cy Young? Yah, Pat Hentgen won a Cy Young award once too. Does that mean he's better than Curt Schilling, who has never won a Cy Young? I don't know who the better pitcher is, but I'd find a better measuring stick than the 1 Cy Young award.

Nothing new. :sleep

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 02:08 AM) How's that working out? I meant that I still go against the trend...I do not [i repeat] DO NOT still collect Go-Bots.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 02:07 AM) You know they're making a new Transformers movie? Also, there's another TMNT movie in the making, as well as a trilogy of Smurfs movies. I heard about the Transformers movie. Also saw the first season was available on DVD at Best Buy. They'll release any television series on DVD these days.

When I was a kid, Transformers were all the rage. Of course, as I do today, I went against the trend and collected Go-Bots.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 02:01 AM) Griffey Jr. would play CF, and Rowand would play LF. Griffey Jr. has played CF his entire career, while Rowand has a lot more experience playing LF. Pretty sure thats the way it'll go...at least till Scotty gets back. Once he does, I can see Junior being used mostly as a DH and being used in LF or CF when Scotty or Aaron need a day off. I sure hope Junior would be cool with the DH'ing, cause that would be my preference. His injury history and the fact that he's 35 still scare me, and I'd like to keep him healthy at all costs.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 01:49 AM) Well, if we're getting Griffey you should say your farwells to Chris Young. I still don't understand where he'll play. Will Griffey be fine with a DH roll his extended stay in Chicago? I'm think that if he was concerned about where he'd play, he wouldn't accept a trade here. Also, we wouldn't bring him here if we didn't have a plan on how'd we use him. My guess is that you can expect the bat to be in the lineup every day, while splitting time between CF and DH. If Scotty goes on the DL, you can definitely expect Junior to swap LF/CF duties with Aaron.

I have no idea how credible this source is, and when it comes to trade rumors, its hard to believe anything that you hear through the media. But, for what its worth, this was in today's Dayton Daily News. Didn't see it posted anywhere, so here it is:

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 03:57 AM) wow someone lock this thread fast. This is turning into a horrible discussion on normality and homosexuality that should not be argued on this section of the board nor in this thread. Many opinions differ on both issues and neither side is correct at this point. Drop it, lock the thread and kill this discussion, please. I don't think it needs to be locked. It's good discussion...just better suited being moved to the SL&P forum. Back to Ozzie though, I think most of us can agree that whether there was any harm in his statement or not, he still would be better off being a little more careful about what he says in front of the press. Problem is, his willingness to say whatever is on his mind is what a lot of people, including me, like about him. Sometimes you'll laugh, sometimes you'll scratch your head in confusion, and sometimes you'll cringe. I know it sounds simplistic to say "thats just Ozzie being Ozzie", but it is. I've always been a fan of Ozzie, and he appears to be a good guy who seems to get along with just about everybody. It would probably be best for himself and the organization if he turned his blab-o-meter down a notch, but that just wouldn't be Ozzie. He shares the same traits of just about any other loose-lipped person that I know: when you say whatever is on your mind, sometimes odd things come out of your mouth...usually cause you don't put a whole lot of thought into what you say. Ya just gotta take the bad with the good. It might come back to bite his ass in the end, but so be it. In this case, I can think of better insults then calling a buddy a homosexual, but whatever. He says that he didn't mean any harm by it, nor does he have any problems with homosexuals. Either way, I've heard worse things said about homosexuals in our own government. How Ozzie's playful jab at a friend is newsworthy is beyond me. Personally, I think the real story here is whether a conversation like this was fair game for the media. In this case, I think it was, but I just don't see the point of anybody writing about it in the sports section. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Rick Morrisey's job to cover sports? Ok, end of my rant. Sorry if I bored you guys to death.

QUOTE(WSNS-TV44 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 06:16 PM) He was an outfielder?When was this? 2001. Also played a little 3B that year. All because of one Royce Clayton.
