QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 04:39 PM) Levine claiming to have spoken to Buerhle's agent, says no contract talks are taking place between the two. Someone sure had a nice wet dream... that's about the end of this thread, isn't it?

Well, I guess from now on, when it smells like bulls***, and walks like bulls***, and looks like bulls***, and acts like bulls***, it's bulls***! I'm sure glad I didn't bite on the bulls***.

I propose, I think, I guess, I hope, I heard.... PLEASE. This is becoming stupid.

This is all CRAP, people. Someone needs to go protest outside of WSCR.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 03:47 PM) 4/$50M....? Apparently it's "let's get high before we go on the air day" at the Score. If Mark signs this deal, he's stupid. I would suspect the union would beat his ass as well. That's exactly why I keep saying this is bulls***. I guess we'll see.

BACK BACK BACK BACK... peddling...

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) Once again... Whether the deal is done or nearly done is neither here nor there. The REAL story out of all these reports is that the White Sox and Buehrle are once again sitting down and negotiating. That is the real story. This is a postitive and must be intrepreted as such. Very encouraging You do have a good point there, either way.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) Why would you fling me?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 03:27 PM) Yippee, waking up to some good news for once! Don't get too happy yet.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) Listening to 1000 for the past 10 minutes or so Silvy and Carmen haven't even mentioned it, the update mentioned the same ST article as they have all morning but if Buehrle has signed, it hasn't gotten anywhere near ESPN 1000. Mmmm, hmmmm. Can I start the BS flinging party? I just can't believe this at all. I hope I'm wrong.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 03:21 PM) I am waiting for someone in the Sox camp or multiple media outlets to start reporting this. Levine...get off your ass and back it up. I'd be much more comfortable if that was the case. I think someone is trying to be a hero on a scoop, and will be dead freaking wrong. If that's the case, you people should raid the score.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 03:18 PM) "don't know yet for sure" Uh huh... I call BS.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) It's interesting that Levine hasn't broken in yet, he's usually on top of anything involving the Chicago teams. He had all the details of the failed Jaque Jones deal before anyone else. It would be pretty funny if the ST article was just a ploy, the Score got some bad info and KW is about to deal Buehrle away before his start tonight. I'm telling you, something doesn't smell right about this. Hey, I could be wrong, but this is almost TOO GOOD of a deal.

I hate to rain on this parade, but I'd be VERY skeptical of this. That's all.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 02:09 PM) No, not most of us. Only the extreme fringe Minutemen contingent. Not at all. When patriotism is allowed to grow into belligerence, xenophobia and fear-mongering, that's being jingoistic. 12 million illegals didn't show up here overnight. It's the product of decades of a system that allowed it to happen and a consumerist society that enjoys the benefits of cheap labor but didn't want to worry about the source of the cheap labor. In a gross miscalculation as to the chances of moving forward on workable solutions, this long-standing situation has now become a front-and-center issue and a distraction from more pressing national needs. I totally agree with that. I wish they would have enforced the last (1986) agreement. That is all it would have taken.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 04:53 AM) Yeah, I figured using green would have been overkill what with all the hyperbole and mock outrage in there. I was pretending to be an enraged jingoistic close-the-borders-and-kick-em-all-out policy advocate for a minute. It didn't take. I hope you're not talking about most of us here... most of us aren't advocating that, but we are advocating that they not get amnesty. Big difference.

If Contreras goes and MB stays, that would be a victory, the Mets dickheads not withstanding...

I really wish it would stop raining now... this after three years of drought. Enough's enough.

THIS TEAM CAN GO ALL THE WAY! /rolly

Those poor Mexicans - they just want to work. Meanwhile, those f'ed up Americans, all they want to do is collect money without working! It amazes me our entire economic and social prosperity hinges TOTALLY on this immigration bill. We can't possibly survive without these immigrants!

Zing! Nice stats, BigSqwert... 30th in all offensive categories. Yea, White Sox!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 12:39 PM) Hmmm, maybe this is why we have an illegal immigration problem. Let's just make sure we hold the employer responsible for hiring these dirtbag border-crossing illegals, right? And for once here, I'll buy the argument that these dirtbag border-crossing illegals actually are taking jobs that Whitebread America would be willing to do. Absolutely! Seriously. It's time ANYONE caught doing this has the proverbial book thrown at them.

A lemming is a good description of you, if I do say so myself. /back to your regularly scheduled thread.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 07:17 PM) So perhaps its more accurate to say that people who vent/obsess are just immature, rather than bad fans? It's BASEBALL! It's ENTERTAINMENT! It's not something that is going to have an effect on our daily lives, unless we obsess over it. Venting is one thing, obsessing is totally another realm. I love sports, but I also realize its place in my life. Some people here don't. I think it's obvious.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:50 PM) Way too easy... Who asked you? Fairweather fan.
