QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 03:01 PM) Those kind of sites are so un-moderated it is pathetic. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) People were less caring about large blocks of text being excerpted 5+ years ago...and even with that, most pages these days are happy as long as you add in a link so that they get some traffic and they get the Google boost. Maybe back then. Anyway, I know there was no point in going to the site. He took care of that by himself.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 02:56 PM) At least. How did Whitesox.com never complain to you guys? He would start a thread highlighting EVERY single article that came about from the site.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 02:56 PM) Oh come on, it's clearly Balta and that's why he posted it. Dude seriously never leaves the interwebs. I didn't think he was talking about himself. lol.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) Actually he's at 26 posts per day (This is displayed on his profile). There's at least one other poster on this site who is currently averaging about 31. Who? Fathom comes to mind. But that's only because he's the most active gamethread participant on the board. That's the most efficient way to drive up that post-count.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) Over the course of his tenure here SS2k5 has averaged 28 posts per day. (holy s***) If we assume 8 hours slept per day, he loses 33% of the day of posting due to sleep. This leaves 16 hours for 28 posts. SS2k5, on average, has not gone 34 waking minutes without a post over an 8 year period! I love mathematics. You know what's funny, if Jabroni hadn't gotten banned, he'd put SS2K5 (who's a great poster by the way. Let me just make that clear.) to shame. I swear to god he'd have 120,000+ posts by now.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) Fixed. Well I figure he sleeps every now and then. Or does he?

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 02:27 PM) Exactly. I'm saying there's a chance he might lose ONE GAME. He's lost 5 on the year total. It's not out of the realm of possibility to lose A GAME to a playoff tested (for the most part) Yankee or Red Sox team. lol. Dude, what are you talking about? Nobody ever said it was impossible for Verlander to lose a game. Of course he's beatable. Not likely. But yes, it can happen. It's not like SS2K5 going 24 consecutive hours without posting. Now that's impossible.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) Goldschmidt, Holmberg, Parker and Montero...thanks But those guys are just prospects. Prospects are so iffy. PK is a sure thing! You have to look to the future and PK is the future! /elrockin

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 02:06 PM) I'd love to see what would happen if someone claimed Konerko. He makes a ton of sense for the DBacks, if he even gets that far. It could completely reshape this Sox team, but it will probably never happen. Trevor Bauer, please! Yes, I know he's not trade-eligible.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) As long as he doesnt have to field his position. lol. That was a good one. Had forgotten about that.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 01:35 PM) There's quite a large difference between solid and monster. People are calling them solid, as you said. I'm not sure what argument you're even trying to make. I guarantee you neither the Yankees or Red Sox want to see Detroit in the ALDS. Possibility of seeing Verlander twice in cold weather? That's no good.

Mariners up 9-2 with Felix on the mound. It's a wrap. Congratulations to the AL central champion, Detroit Tigers.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 12:43 PM) Well, counting Teahen and Jackson, we've brought that down to the 110's. Yay! Won't mean much after arb raises (assuming we don't trade CQ/Danks).

All I know is that god damn 50 cent KFC hot wings deal ad is making me hungrier than the time I got so drunk that I walked through the Taco Bell drive thru because I had no car.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) Isn't that pretty good? Considering his stuff, that's average to me. I've still got images of that 14 K in 5 1/3 IP against Oakland last year dancing around in my brain.

2011 CY runner-up you mean. I'll watch this one. As Weaver is sick and I don't get to see him often.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) Tigers are damn good. The best starting pitcher in baseball, the best closer in baseball, one of the best 1B in the majors, one of the best SS in the majors, one of the best catchers in the majors...and then you have a lot of other solid bads. I know Benoit started off poorly, but he's been much better lately as well. Kimbrel >>> Valverde

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:51 AM) Acquiring Thome at this point would have no measurable effect on ticket sales. That's hogwash. Are you implying that fans won't be lining up in droves to bare witness to a 42 year-old DH?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) This is just weird and pathetic. The Sox could have kept big Jim for 1.5 million two years ago but forced him out. This team has really been a joke with no plan claiming has-beens like Manny, over-paid never weres like Alex Rios, etc. Now Kenny, what are you going to do? Have Dunn ride the bench while a 42 year old who is better than him plays DH? Have Thome ride out his final days on the bench for those few great standing ovations as #25 sells some tickets and a few more jerseys? You could have had Viciedo raking up here before he got injured, and he could come up now. This team has no plan and is grasping at straws trying to steal a possible bench World Series ring from Big Jim, as well as your money, White Sox fans. My sig is returned. Isn't the main reason Ozzie wouldn't sit Dunn (in particular against LH pitching) is because he wanted to show his confidence or faith or whatever in him? What message does this send to Adam? lol.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:24 AM) As a buddy of mine says, KW and Ozzie seem like they're directing/managing this club like they're not going to be back next year. All hands on deck, future be damned. Forgot about not acquiring Rasmus because of the Mark Teahen albatross.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:16 AM) This entire year as a whole made no sense to me (from decisions in the front office, down to personnel decisions from the minors) so why not have one last hurrah? The most perplexing season I've witnessed in my 20 years as a Sox fan. From the mishandlings of Viciedo/Sale/Peavy, to running Dunn/Rios out there continuously when they were doing nothing but sabotaging the season, to drafting a Keenyn Walker when there were clearly better players to be had and no money was devoted to a first round pick, oney guillen and his bulls***, not parting with the few assets you had before the deadline, etc, etc, etc.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 09:49 AM) To be fair, Olney only said that execs THINK the Sox will claim him, not that they definitely have. Then the thread title needs to be edited.

So we let a 21-year old phenom waste away at AAA for months when he could've made a difference in the standings, yet we're trying to acquire a 42-year old DH with a little over a month left in the season and our playoff hopes all but done?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 09:26 AM) He should have been pitching for a World Series contender this year. The Chisox! If we don't get it this year there is next year and you need pitchers like Mark Buerhle to lead your pitching staff. This idea of tearing the whole team apart isn't anything more than emotions. I don't blame folks for being frustarted and all but think long term

This franchise is criminally embarrassing.
