95. Seems like he's doing ok today on speed?

what the f*** is this s***? This bullpen has to go.

That was a good play by Everett - PK has still had a good day.

That play right there is EXACTLY why I hated Carlos Lee. Thanks Carlos.

It's kind of nice to watch a game and not be embarrased to watch. This is only the third game I've seen ... I get to watch the 'Stros feed today.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 03:53 AM) I've wondered if the sluggishness of our team might be related to the ban of amphetamines but I doubt it. Still, it's interesting

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 03:43 AM) He should get a standing ovation. Who knows though, maybe some of the "new" Sox fans will boo. Blech. I never could stand the guy... but oh well. QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 08:38 PM) I wouldn't do s***. I'd just sit there and watch him take his hacks like every other player on the opposing team. Carlos put up some good numbers for the White Sox, sure, but far from great as some people here claim. Not only that, he was a lousy left fielder, refused to shift in different situations and was never really a selfless guy. It was always about the numbers with Carlos. I'd love to have him today because he's a better player now than he was before, but I sure as hell don't miss him or his attitude. The guy doesn't deserve a breath of our attention. What did he ever do? Win an MVP? Win a World Series? Win a playoff game? This isn't Frank Thomas we're talking about. He was never the face of our franchise and he was never the best offensive player on the team. It's Carlos f***ing Lee we're talking about. No big deal. YEA! Right on!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 07:23 PM) A bit of Friday news that doesn't involve Paris... This involves destruction of government property and perjury, but we basically have heard nothing about it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19106937/ This story NEVER gets the attention it deserves, and stories like this is EXACTLY why the "MSM" is biased. Then, Scooter Libby gets 30 months, while all this guy gets is a "don't do it again" and "you can't practice law" - well no crap, he committed a felony! Now, QUICK, you leftists come tell me how this is WAAAAAY different, and Scooter deserved everything because he was a part of the "evvvvvvvvil and lying" BushCo administration...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 11:28 AM) Guess who has a website and wants money? http://www.imwithfred.com/ IMO, he's the best candidate to date.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 08:07 PM) 1.) Why would they trade Michael Young just a few months after giving him a huge extension? 2.) Are you sure you want to deal for a 2B (yes he's a 2B) who's due $5M next year and then $16M per year for the next 5 seasons after that? He's also lighting the world on fire with his .269/.318/.408/.726 line. No thanks. 3.) Considering how things went the first time around I highly doubt Lofton will ever play for the Sox again. I agree that Young wouldn't come here because of the extension, but this is by FAR the worst year of his career. He's had 6 straight 200 hit seasons (IIRC... someone might want to double check me but I know it's a string of them) and I sure as hell would put my money down on a guy like that then the rest of the choke artists we have on the Sox right now. Michael Young is a damn good ballplayer, this year's stats notwithstanding.

So no one wants to invest, because they expect the "windfall" to erase in the near future (buy low, sell high)? Well, in this environment, it won't happen. Too much demand. So when do we start the Soxtalk Refineries, LLC? There's enough s*** spewed around here, we wouldn't even need oil to refine, just good old fashioned bulls***.

Fathom wins! But then again, he's always negative, so if anything went wrong, of course he was going to be right.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 12:01 PM) All though I am sure Indiana would trade Fort Wayne to Florida from a Town to be Named Later. Oh, I doubt it. Florida wouldn't accept the trade.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2007 -> 12:01 PM) There are no shortage of people who want to come to the US and work here if we had the balls in institute a real immigration policy, instead of our historic plan consisting of getting here and hiding until the next Amnesty comes around. And that right there is THE point, IMO. And, you even had a solution about it in your post! /golf clap But what about those "underpriveleged Americans"? You're hurting THEM! (where's the rolly smilie?)

Sorry I mssed you yesterday... to another one of my favorite posters... I hope you had a great day!

Well, for once, she's right. When are you "antiwar Democrats" going to learn that these people, who supposedly champion your cause, are nothing but a bunch of lying, political hacks who just used your cause to gain power, only to do an about face on just about every issue, including the war? They are absolutely no better then any GOP person you love to hate, and in fact, they're probably worse, because they're toying with the lives of military people every day.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 25, 2007 -> 04:11 AM) So if I opposed the action related to the Kosovar Civil War as well, which I in fact did (I had a couple of Serbian friends in High School and realized that I couldn't win an argument with them over the issue when their response was "why does my family have to be put at risk because of this?), and am very skeptical about the whole concept of humanitarian "War" (as opposed to some sort of intervention to stop a war, which might be the reality in Darfur - something that could be achieved by the appearance rather than the application of force), does that leave me able to make my point? I simply don't think you can improve the world by killing a few hundred thousand people to free people, especially if those folks don't want it. That leaves out the 1 other point though...Yes, 35% say there should be an immediate withdrawal. But another 35-40% beyond that say that well maybe there shouldn't be an immediate withdrawal, but there should be firm benchmarks set or an official timeline for when we're withdrawing. Hell, I'll even cite the Fox News poll that says that. Only like 25% of this country wants this war to continue until January 20, 2009/forever, as is currently in the law. And if you simply ask the "Favor/oppose" question, it's 60-65% opposed. This country doesn't want this thing any more. The only question is what the best way out is; immediate withdrawal or something phased with more timelines. I think that we do have to get out of there, and I think that is where BushCo has it flat out wrong... he's let those people flounder way too long by "staying the course"... I think we can put "timelines" on the Iraqi government, but we cannot put timelines on us getting out of there, and there's a HUGE difference between the two. Iraq must take responsibility for its own course at some point.

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite posters on the board!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ May 25, 2007 -> 01:21 AM) They say that as long as you buy the prof a sixpack of Guinness (Foreign Extra, no widgets) on nights he has to grade papers or exams, then you'll do fine. And they are right.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 24, 2007 -> 08:11 PM) So since you just reiterated that you support all 12 million being deported and didn't directly answer the question, who does take over the jobs that they occupy without being a "burden"? I just find it funny that some people might somehow think that the goverment wants to keep them here out of the kindness and generosity of their hearts when it's obvious they would only want to do so if it makes the most sense economically. Personally, I'm less excited about hearing about 120 billion more tax dollars going into a war that doesn't make a whole lot of sense than about an immigrant working and getting social security. I guaran-damn-tee that the immagrants will cost the country WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAY more then the Iraq war. Don't even have to bat an eye at that one.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 24, 2007 -> 09:39 PM) So, sadly, no, to my eyes, this is not America's war. Not in the least, certainly not these days. America has long since decided it doesn't want this war any more. Only a small minority, which just happens to control the White House and a large chunk of the media, still want this war to go on. Every recent piece of data says that America doesn't want this war to go on any more. And beyond that, America was never sold on this fight. America was sold on a war that we actually won; a brief, few week campaign to overthrow Saddam, regardless of the reason. America was not sold a nearly 6 year guerrilla war. America was never asked to plan for that war, America was never asked if it wanted that war. The few of us who said you couldn't have one without the other were cast aside and ignored. And secondly, you know why I think we need to make clear who's fault this is? Because the biggest chunk of those who think this war is the greatest idea ever are the ones who have the power right now. What it is going to take for this debacle to be ended is for those specific people to no longer have power at all. Which means, quite simply, the people who think we need Double-Gitmo and more and more troops in Iraq until Jesus returns must lose. Whether or not its the idiotic Dems in Congress who went along with the war who allowed it to happen or who are allowing it to continue...the dying is not going to stop until these people are out of power. End of story. Point 1. You are flat out wrong. Question: do you want the Iraq war to end? 95% say yes! WOOOOOOOOOOT! DEMS WIN!... GMAB. Question: do you think we should withdrawl immediately from Iraq? That's 50%, AT BEST, and most of the numbers I see are usually about 35% WHEN AN EQUAL # OF PEOPLE ARE ASKED OF EQUAL POLITICAL BACKGROUND, not a bunch of Democrats. Point 2. You know what? I absolutely agree with your point here. And that's part of my beef with this jackass administration. They are so arrogant - to keep things as status quo, but the alternative (leaving as fast as we can) simply is NOT good for America. Point 3. It's NOT THESE people. Let me tell you something. Billy Boy Clinton had the same hard-on for Saddam as BushCo did, but he knew it was suicide politically to do any more then lob missles in there to look like he was tough. It cracks my ass up to hear all you lefties say we need to help in Darfur, and we needed to help in Bosnia for the "benefit of the people", but Saddam, who had killed 1,000,000 of his own people, well, NOOOOOO ... THAT'S DIFFERENT! Whatever. It gets tiresome to see the same old retread about how the Democrats are the beautiful party and they just want what's best for America... yea, what's best if they control government and we become a socialist nation. It's all good then.

I think it's sad that America's whole foundation is now totally dependant on the illegals, at least that's what the supporters of this bill tell me. What crap.

The intelligence was wrong. Everyone in the WORLD's inteligence was wrong. And it's a nice mantra to say "Congress got duped!!! OMG!!!!"... that's utter bulls*** as well. The war TODAY is due to the Bush Administration's pure ineptness to get it right. The Bush Administration is handling this terribly, and they frankly SUCK on just about every issue out there right now. But the mantra of INVESTIGATIONS!!!! GET THEM!!!! KEEP THE SPOTLIGHT OFF OF THE PARTY WITH NO IDEAS!!!!! is just absolutely dead wrong. Period.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 24, 2007 -> 04:32 AM) Even still, that whole filibuster thing gets you. Of course, only cowardly traitors would ever use that for anything. Damn obstructionists. Anywho, hopefully the Dems are smart enough to keep up the investigations and make this look more and more like the Republican's war that it is until Nov., 08, and we can elect someone who will put a stop to this disaster. But anyway, placed my first ever call to a Congressman's office today on this. And this is exactly what the f*** is wrong with you people. It's AMERICA's war, like it or not. This s*** pisses me off and it shows how f***ing shallow your ilk really is. It's about power, not ideas, and it's sick. Most of these f***tard Dems voted FOR the war, remember? And f*** off saying "Bush lied"... they ALL had the same intelligence. I'm sick and goddamn tired of this attitude. It's fine to support (or not support) a policy, but your true feelings are VERY loud in this post. INVESTIGATIONS!!!! WOOOT! NO REAL SOLUTIONS!!!! REMEMBER TO BLAME REPUBLICANS!!!! Please.

That's cool. I bet you're rich, with no car and all.
