This site will NEVER ban people for "negative comments" about the team. PERIOD. We will ALWAYS promote expressions of your opinion, negative, or positive. If you are negative, have a thick skin, debate your point, and life is good.

HELL NO, this guy is a cancer, and absolutely full of himself. I can give details, as I've been around him a little bit, but I'll leave it there. Let's say that the ladies even think he's stupid and arrogant. Kevin Mench has the personality of an asshole. I'll just say it like that, so I don't get suspended or something.

To me, this is a baseball taam that is just showing up every day right now and going through the motions. They have little fire. The starting pitching is TIRED. Remember, they pitched a whole month more then they had anytime in their careers, and also remember when April/May was going good, they were pitching a lot. I'll also tell you something else. Last year, just like this year for Detroit, the Sox were not scouted nearly as heavy as they are this year. Something about a WS title gives you that where no one will overlook you. ust some observations.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 11:23 PM) Ozzie has a chance to turn this into a positive for his image. I hope he takes it. and I hope Tracey succeeds. Anyone want to bet that game one next Friday night (when Texas comes to town) that Tracey rights a wrong? Should be interesting.

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 09:35 PM) I'm just posting my opinion. If you don't like it you don't have to say anything about it. LOL! Sure I do. Cause I can. The end.

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 04:05 PM) I'm well aware of what Brain Anderson has to hit to reach that plateau and I think based on his recent improvements and the fact that he is getting more patient at the plate that it is something that he can attain. With Ozzie behind this kid there is no telling how great he can be. Why are you posting this stuff? Because you got called out last year for being a pessimist, and now you have to post pie in the sky posts? How about realistic? That would GREAT from you, Poppy.

What a difference a year makes. Wow. Jose.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) heads and kap told me they WANTED discussion about the new rules - see what we posters thought... so... thats why the discussion was set up. now who's questioning their decisions? What? I NEVER said that. I came in chat, and said that we wanted to talk to you all to know what was going down... and if you had questions, talk to us. I didn't say it was up for debate. Read the first post of this thread, that was closed at first.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 07:53 PM) Good to know I wasn't the only getting it after the Center Ice season ended. You have Comcast? At the end of this month, I won't be with that company anymore. Then I can say what I think.

I thought it was strange to do it in the middle of the game, I would have thought pregame would have been better as well... but that was Pittsburgh's thing.

I'm going to add to this even though it was closed. In the post at attempting to explain our policy, I even mentioned this, and it bears mentioning again. Please quit following people around and playing post police just because you don't like them. If you have a problem with a post, tell a mod, and let them handle it if it is deemed appropriate to deal with, PLEASE! Thank you.

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Jul 12, 2006 -> 02:22 PM) 57-31 in the 1st half. Pretty damn good. This has been a great year if Sox baseball and the memories keep adding up as the day's go by. That win over the Red Sox was a marathon of the lord looking down upon his favorite team giving them a wink and lifting them up above their competitors yet again. Simply beautiful to watch. I smell a trade, probably the Sox sending Vazquez to someplace. I don't know. I don't think they need help anywhere, but Kenny might just have a blockbuster in mind that will make everyone happy. 15 starts for each starter left. Here are my predictions for their records. Buehrle 12-1 Contrerras 10-0 Garcia 6-4 Garland 9-1 McCarthy 5-2 Look for a huge second half where the sox completely step everything up even more and make the Tigers a distant memory. I predict a second half run of 62-12. Then a roll through in the playoffs culminating in the White Sox winning the world championship for the second straight year. Anyway you look at it this year adds up to a world series title. There is not a team out there who can beat the Sox in a full series. This is Poppy's "new" self - you know, the one who bashed everything the Sox did last season. Ignore Mr. Oz.

LMAO! That's RUDE AND INCONSIDERATE. /door slams in background

Soxtalk posters, It's come to our attention, via several avenues, that we need to clean some things up at soxtalk. There have been multiple complaints about the vulgarity and the overall personal attacks on this site. We're losing good posters (among other things behind the scenes that aren't real favorable about this site), and that's not what we want nor do I think you all want that, either. The game thread on Friday night last week caused a great deal of discussion - and frankly that thread was/is a symptom of a greater problem. The discussions led to what we need to do as admins and moderators to make this place a site we can all be proud of. As a result of the discussions over the weekend, we have come up with the following policy. How many times have we talked about this before? You all know the drill. Most of the time when we put this up, we have posters who run around looking to say "personal attack!!!11!!!" about poster so and so. Let's all be accountable. There are sniping incidents from the past - no longer. Don't bring it to the boards. Bury your issues, and get along as what we all are, Sox fans. Why do these petty grudges all around even need to be brought up every other day? Frankly, we need your help. This brings up the point of those of you who have been suspended before. Your time grows short. I'm going to be honest here, it takes a LOT to get suspended from this site. Usually, the mods address things with people out in the open. If you take their lead, you'll be fine. If you keep crossing that line after being talked to (either in the threads, or via PM's), you're going to sit some time. Our intent is not to suspend a bunch of people, we want you all to post. We simply want to promote good discussion, not the other crap that seems to be worming its way into threads in the soxtalk community. A rule of thumb about the obvious question of "what's acceptable??" will come up. The answer is: if you have to ask, then it's probably too far. Use common sense. And for goodness sake, please don't let emotions get the best of you. As an example, someone uses the :rolly icon. Big deal! Get a thick skin, don't just flame someone for that. It's ridiculous if you feel threatened by something like that. It's not an 'attack' but it might not be 'nice' either. It doesn't, however, warrant a flame war that will ultimately turn personal. I want to emphasize, NO ONE is exempt from this. If an admin gets booted four times, they get banned. It's that simple. A lot of you post good stuff. The occasional 'f-bomb' happens... but the idea of soxtalk is to promote open discussion and debate, NOT attacking one another. It stops. Right now. We really want this to be an open place for debate, not people's litter box. If you all have questions, address them through a mod or an admin. We're not leaving this thread open for people to discuss it. You all know the game, now it's being enforced, no questions asked (in public, this isn't a debate) or no matter who you are. Let's all clean this place up and make it more enjoyable for all Sox fans. That's not too much to ask, is it? Kap

Why can't the Palis give up the soldier and just call it a day? /sits and waits for the Isreal is scumsucking power tripping assholes answer... after all the Palis are sooooooooooooooooooooo innocent.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2006 -> 02:16 PM) In all seriousness, their overreactions are part of the reason I belive that Israel still exsists today. Think about it, if they just ignored the problem and tried to find the solider as quietly as possible, like the US, it would send the message to their enemies that they could get away with it. I think the fear of a huge retailliation to some extent prevents lots more attacks because they fear the brutal retribution. Something that Americans do not have the guts for. If they did, this "terrorism war" would be over, RIGHT NOW.

What is this turkey you speak of? Finger licking good!!!

And (WHITE) Sox fans are obnoxious when they come to visiting parks, now, too. Think about it.

Well, Havlat is a good player. But who will he play with? Something tells me that there's more dealing or signings to come.

HUGE WIN for this point in the season going into the ASB.

People, give your props to BMAC. He did his job today, win or lose.

well, let's just spot Ross the one out and then get some runs from the next two.

Full on Manny. And I don't want to see an 0-8 horse with no name up there. He's due.

We couldn't get to this part of the lineup again. This is where it should end. Edit -= oooooops... NM!
