Edwin Jackson is a freaking stud. Kid has a great live fastball and a very sharp curveball.

Seriously...people lets all freaking take some deep breaths and relax. DEEP BREATHS

We were unaware of it. Let me say that if anyone has this problem and someone is spamming your pm...just shoot me or Alex a pm and we'll take care of it immediately.

Preach on Alex

Realistically you could say Foulke was overused by the Sox too. The only thing is Foulke didn't depend on the 97 MPH heater, but he needs enough of a fastball where people can't just sit on the changeup.

Michelle...the pm issue has been solved. You don't have to worry about getting anymore from him. And as far as WSC...I'm thinking long and hard what exactly to do. For the time being he won't be posting here. I've given him umpteen warnings for this stuff. I don't know how you can give a guy more slack...but I think for a while at least, he won't be posting...soley reading. Now lets go Bears...beat that Bye Team to go 1-2

There are mine Buccaneers Patriots Chiefs Colts Titans Vikings Steelers Ravens 49ers Packers Seahawks Giants Bills Broncos

I agree that the things that went back and forth between some of the members were harsh. Things sometimes get said that you may not want to say in time of anger. From what I know of Vince he is a great guy. Thats my personal opinion. People are entitled to their opinions of him as well. I'm not saying you have to like him or anything like that...but he does many good things for this site and I call him a friend. Its my personal opinion that he didn't intend to offend anyone other then to stick up for WSC who is kind of in a "odd-state" to say the least. I think we can all say WSC has said plenty of things and has got the vast majority here upset at him from his months of comments and randomly thrown out insults. But we all have to see that the kid is screwed up. Whether Vince should of stuck up for him or not is your call. He felt he should of....while others felt he got whats coming. Both are entitled to their opinion. And how the hell the discussion turned into a debate about Vince's preference and what not...I don't know and personally I don't care. Thats Vince's business and I'll call him my friend either way...but basically Apu said it best, imo.

I only got popups when I clicked on the search area of hte board. I think somehow it is using yahoo to search the board and thats why its getting a pop up. I think its something yahoo somehow put on your computers when you go there. Just a guess though, cause I know this coding is pop up free.

url is the same thing as a link. If you give me the likn of the picture I'll get it up for ya.

I just watched scarface last night for the first time. Solid movie.

Ok that was weird...I just got a pop up when trying to do something. Some yahoo popup. First one I've ever gotten.

IT may be a type of code on your computer that is launching the popup ads cause this board doesn't have any. Try erasing your temporary files and stuff like taht and see if it clears the script thats sending you pop ups. Hopefully that works.

Alright I read through this post and the other two that BMR mentioned. I couldn't find the locked one so I could be missing some of the facts. First off, I Think its safe to say that all of us have seen WSC at his worse and seen him at other times. I've tried to tell the kid to cool things down and not just shout out personal attacks. I know Soxtalk's philosphy is to be leniant on things like that. I mean if someone can't say what they feel, then its not an effective message board, since a message board is where you lay things out. With that being said...I'm not saying their should just be all these posts calling such and such a moron. Sure at times that will happen, but usually its for decent reason and the sides involved can cool afterwards. In the case of this recent even, I see that things really got out of hand. I for one am dissapointed that things got this far, but there is nothing you can do to turn back the clock. The things that were said were said. I think everyone got to say their sides and clear their thoughts and thats how it should be. As far as my take...I do agree, the BS posts have got to stop. If your gonna make an attack do it based on someones argument, not based on how you like the person. But to stop the BS posts is not gonna be something we control. This board is and always will be for people to hash out their problems and to make their statements. The mods jobs are to simply control things that are extremely out of control and to make improvements to the board or add certain discussions as well as aid other posters. Their may be certain instances where things should be closed or deleted (In reference to porn or whatnot). I know this "concept" leads to threads like this at times, but the majority of the time people here are friends and Sox fans. Plenty of people here have made friendships with people they never would have before. They also get to discuss Sox baseball and plenty of other random things (I think we all have seen plenty of random crap here) with other people and see everyone elses thoughts. Isn't that what a message board is for. And for those that got very upset tonight, I hope you can find ways to mend the friendships that were lost.

Which Topic was locked?

Ok...going to those threads now. I come in for hte night and turn on the puter and see this gigantic thread and was like oh great...something for me to read

I'll back that up. He isn't CW guys. Don't know how you all got that idea but him and Vince have got into a lot of debates over the past in the off topic board in regards to politics. I can also tell ya that he is a damn good writer and wrote a ton of articles for SoxNet As far as this thread...I'm now on page 8 and I guess next I got to go look at the other thread...then I'll give my all powerful take

I must of missed something.

Thats looks pretty cool.

Go Ducks. T10 point lead in what will be a good game. Hawkeyes are driving right now against ASU Fred Russel is my pick for the Bears next running back. Get Gallery on the oline too.

All time classic movie.

Carl Everett. No one puts more on the field every game.

My bad...at least I nailed the managerial part. Hell, I was so young then

Ray Knight is from the Reds. I think he managed for them and if I'm not mistaken he was a very respected pitching coach for a long time.

Its true. I'd say a lot of people here are very impatient on things like that. The thing is, when you here so much hype and see guys like Webb and Dontrell just going right out and suceeding you think well why can't our super hyped prospect do it. The truth is most prospects definately take some time. Look at Garland, but I'd say the wait was more then worth it. You could say the same for Carlos who has turned out to be the teams MVP, IMO. Then for every 10 or 15 guys like Garland (Great prospects that take time) you get a guy like Buehrle, Zito, Webb, Mulder, Dontrell that just come right out of the shoot and kick butt. Pujols included. Some players are just more ready when they reach the majors then others. A guy like jeremy Reed is someone that could make a quick impact soley because he understands so much of the game and can do the other things that help make him notice. Plus having a good eye is huge for immediate sucess at the major league level. Bottom line, if a guy has talent, give him a few years to grow. You definately wnat to see improvement, but put him in a position where the team doesn't need him to perform like a world beater, but instead to play solid in a lot of areas and if he can't develop as a good hitter yet, then be patient and stick with him knowing that he helps you in other areas (Ala Crede and Olivo; Crede is definately becoming a better player and it wouldn't be a shock if he makes the all star game next year).
