Great job, man! Now everyone will want you to do their taxes!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:38 PM) Morse got caught for PEDs a few years back. He's probably still on them. I'd assume that as a past offender, he'd be subject to regular testing.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:32 PM) Is there any precedence for sending a veteran like Dunn down to AAA to work it out? Just so he can get some heat off him and work on his swing? I really believe that they need to check his eyesight and reflexes. If they can't tweak his batting stance, it's gotta be that he's just not seeing the ball right and reacting to it like he used to.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 07:21 PM) I've read the word Hyperbole more times today than every other time combined in my entire life. Hey look! HYPERBOLE!

I guess I'm the bad kind of fan when it comes to tickets. I will go through stubhub and buy already purchased tickets from a season ticket holder as opposed to newer tickets from whitesox.com because they actually offer discounts on stubhub. In essence, I'm not helping their "tickets sold" policy for attendence.

What's great about the passion of Sox fans is that there is no limit to fan message boards for them.

Having fun?

Hyperbole is speaking in absolutes with no basis in or proof of fact. "Talking out of your ass." He was stating his opinion and reason for a boycott.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) I'm quite a few pages back, and perhaps it has since been answered, but this portion of NSS's post is golden. If Jason and company are going to establish new rules concerning posting there should be clear guidelines detailing what's acceptable and what isn't. More than "hyperbole" or outlandish negativity. Additionally, who exactly is enforcing these rules, just Jason; or all mods? Will each post that is questionable be put up for review? Also, I'm trying to wrap my mind around this concept -- so there's a collection of 'quality' posters out in the nether regions of the internet lurking, and oh boy do they have some valuable insight to provide for fellow Soxtalk members. Yet, when these member log on all they notice is the negativity; and that just makes them sad. They don't appreciate such injustices. So in a silent protest (well, not really, because they made sure to tell the mods/admins of their intentions so everyone will miss them) they leave and now the world will never know what knowledge could have been shared with Soxtalk. Am I the only person who finds it ridiculous someone is allowing another person indirectly to influence whether or not they post here? I find that this is the best comparison. http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftri...w/obscenity.htm

Yeah. HAPPY NOW?

QUOTE (MAX @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 04:00 AM) While I consider myself a positive poster, and I think anyone who follows my posts would, I am decidedly against this move. I would argue that if you would get rid of some of the other rules, we wouldn't have this problem to begin with. To me, this is just another rule that will get good posters banned when their thoughts are misunderstood by some overzealous, bored moderator. Now I can't make a joke in hyperbole without stating its a joke (stating something is a joke immediately makes it unfunny). This place is still much more interesting than WSI. Can't happen. We talk everything over as a group before a decision like that is made.

I truly believe that Oz would replace Pierre with Lillibridge if Elf was a lefty hitter. But since he's just another RHP, he won't.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 01:58 AM) I think it's a terrible idea to remove Quentin from RF. He's a headcase and he's been playing well this season. Don't mess with that. Viciedo to LF. I'm not against keeping him in RF. It just seemed like a "dream" scenario to put that lineup in. That lineup is unlikely to happen with the present manager though, because of his obsession with the L-R-L-R batting order.

Lilli might be better floating between LF, CF, RF, 2B for the rest of '11. He seems to hit worse when he stays in one position too long. Dunn's going to have to work through his issues. He may get pinch hit for more in the late innings, but he needs to try and hit his way out of this slump. I've been wondering if he's had his eyes checked lately. He is 34 now and for all we know, his reflexes could be slowing down enough where his eyesight may need to be relied on more.

Stop doing that...?

Lillibridge/Beckham/Vizquel - 2B Rios - CF Quentin - LF Konerko - 1B Ramirez - SS Viciedo - RF Dunn - DH Pierzynski - C Morel/Beckham/Vizquel - 3B

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:06 AM) And I dare you to find a post in which I insulted another poster. I mean players, coaches, etc.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:04 AM) But I'm not. That's the thing. So I have to put more effort and emphasis on why I disagree with A Sox/Bulls/Bears move in comparison to another teams' move? If you want people to not think that you're "talking out of your ass", back up your opinions with facts.
