QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 05:49 PM) I don't know how to figure the salary, personally. What's 18 million divided by two? I can't find my calculator.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 18, 2007 -> 05:47 PM) Just keep your eyes off of the .468 slugging percentage on the season. I'm not saying that there aren't any positives (great defense, 19/21 in SB opportunities), but some of these threads are ridiculously premature. He shouldn't be swinging for the fences, but that's just my opinion. Even a .330 OBP out of the leadoff slot would be nice at this stage of a career, but .290? That seriously blows.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 18, 2007 -> 04:35 PM) Probably a lock for NL player of the week with 5 homers. That's a nice turnaround, considering that his average for the month of August was barely over .100 in his first 45 ABs. Even with this recent burst of power, he's still hitting .219 for the month with a .275 OBP. And of course, he had that killer June where he sported a .245 OBP in over 100 ABs. This dude straight up rocks my socks. "Every time you hit the ball in the air, you owe me 20 push-ups"

Yeah, Andre Dawson won 8 consecutive gold gloves, had 440 HR, damn near 2800 hits, over 300 SB, and he made the all star team 8 times. I know that he never learned to draw a walk, hence the .323 lifetime OBP, but overall, he was still one of the best players in baseball throughout the 80s. He can't get into the HOF, though, and I doubt that Rock will.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Aug 16, 2007 -> 03:22 AM) Illinois seems to have no problem with this program. Why are other states having such a fit about this? At the very least, you've gotta give them some coloring books. If you stab a fellow inmate with a crayon, I think that he or she will survive, in most cases.

QUOTE(Markbilliards @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 04:09 PM) So if we judge them entirely by ERA I guess Zammy's better, but is he that much better which he deserved the contract he got? Mark does eat a ton more innings than Carlos does though because Carlos focuses on the strikeout so much more. Carlos Zambrano is on a completely different level than Mark Buehrle. Don't look at ERA, and never ever ever look at wins and losses. Seriously though, I thought you knew.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Aug 16, 2007 -> 02:09 PM) What a pussy. Yeah, tell me about it.

If Andre Dawson can't get in, I doubt that Rock will have much of a chance. Cheat posted this in the catch-all thread: Keltner HOF Test

Jose's brain must be like the size of a pistachio.

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Aug 14, 2007 -> 01:05 PM) So laws should be based upon a common agreed societal position? What if the racist position was a representative of societal mores? Can you say that the Jim Crow laws are wrong if everyone else says they are right? What if 50% say it is right and 50% say that it is not? Taken from my old Criminal Justice book: The Consensus Model assumes that as people gather together to form a society, its members will naturally come to a basic agreement with regard to shared norms and values. To a certain extent, it assumes that a diverse group of people can have similar morals; that is, they share an idea of what is "right" and what is "wrong". Consequently, as public attitudes toward morality change, so do laws. In colonial times, those found guilty of adultery were subjected to corporal punishment; a century ago, one could walk into a pharmacy and purchase heroin. Today, social attitudes have shifted to consider adultery a personal issue, beyond the purview of the state, and to consider the sale of heroin a criminal act. When a consensus does not exist as to whether a certain act falls within the parameters of acceptable behavior, a period of uncertainty ensues as society struggles to formalize its attitudes as law. Those who reject the consensus model do so on the ground that moral attitudes are not absolute. In large democratic societies such as the United States, different segments of society will inevitably have different value systems and shared norms. According to the Conflict Model, these different segments - separated by social class, income, age, and race - are engaged in a constant struggle with one another for control of society. The victorious groups exercise their power by codifying their value systems into criminal laws. Consequently, what is deemed criminal activity is determined by whichever group happens to be holding power at any given time. Because certain groups do not have access to political power, their interestes are not served by the criminal justice system . To give one example, the penalty (five years in prison) for possession of 5 grams of crack cocaine is the same as for possession of 500 grams of powder cocaine. This 1:100 ratio has widespread implications for inner-city African Americans, who are statistically more likley to get caught using crack cocaine than are white suburbanites, who appear to favor the illicit drug in its powdered form.

I usually keep a candle burning in my Doug Flutie shrine, but that's about it. I have enough boxes of Flutie Flakes to survive the Y2K. I voted: Nope, not at all

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Aug 11, 2007 -> 12:56 PM) it mentions Thomas Jones I can't say that I'm surprised.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 08:17 PM) I got an 8 pack of Zest at the grocery store last Sunday for $.50. Costco doesn't always win. True.

Damn, you know what that means. A-Rod probably has it too.

Costco is the place to be.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 04:18 PM) That's been up for a while. The haters think it condones child abuse Okay, I just found the original thread in the SLAM forum: Blue Jays Ad I'm just glad that nobody on soxtalk had anything stupid to say about it. That commercial is a classic.

Has this Big Frank commercial been posted? Big Frank I'm just seeing it for the first time. It's awesome.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 08:40 PM) Wtf were they doing with Gallardo today? He gives up 8 runs in 2 innings and you run him out there to get his ass kicked some MORE? Holy s***, that's terrible. That's crazy. His ERA jumped from 2.55 to 4.20, and he already had 53 IP under his belt coming into today.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 10:34 PM) HA just as I posted that, I remembered the Ice Cube song it lists for Rob uses the beat from "The Message". least. That's the one that DJ Muggs produced It's basically the same exact instrumental track, except that it has Das Efx in the refrain. I hate Ice Cube, but I have purchased a lot of his early singles just for the instrumentals, particularly the Bomb Squad era stuff (Public Enemy production crew). There are no NWA instrumentals outside of "Straight Outta Compton" and "Express Yourself". I have a compilation of looped beats from their first album, but it's not the same.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 10:27 PM) and it doesn't even include his most prominent AB song from this year "This Is Why I'm Hot" by Mims which is pretty good and a show of personal confidence booty That's the same garbage that guys like wack-ass A-Rod and Gary Sheffield requested. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 10:27 PM) legendary Grandmaster Flash jam "The Message", is my all time favorite personalized song for any athlete ever. Yep, I put together a compilation of instrumentals from 1982-1986, and that's the first track on the disc. Mack ain't all there, but he has his moments. Kinda like you, bro.

I could get behind these guys (no gyllenhaal) Ramon Castro, New York Mets: "Imperial March", Star Wars Craig Counsell, Milwaukee Brewers: "All Along the Watchtower", Jimi Hendrix; "Ring of Fire," Johnny Cash Cliff Floyd, Chicago Cubs: "Theme from Sanford and Son" ("The Streetbeater" by Quincy Jones) Kazuo Matsui, Colorado Rockies: "Tricky", Run DMC Trot Nixon, Cleveland Indians: "Walk the Line", Johnny Cash; "Ring of Fire", Johnny Cash Jake Peavy, San Diego Padres: "Sweet Home Alabama", Lynyrd Skynyrd Grady Sizemore, Cleveland Indians: "Backdoor Man", The Doors Mark Teixeira, Atlanta Braves, "All Along the Watchtower", Jimi Hendrix Shane Victorino, Philadelphia Phillies: "Buffalo Soldier", Bob Marley; "Get Up, Stand Up", Bob Marley Brandon Webb, Arizona Diamondbacks: "Jam On It", Newcleus Jack Wilson, Pittsburgh Pirates: "Jumpin' Jack Flash", The Rolling Stones Chris Woodward, Atlanta Braves: "Sultans of Swing", Dire Straits Joel Zumaya, Detroit Tigers: "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", Jimi Hendrix Grady Sizemore stole my theme song.

God damn, man. Lay off the acid tabs.

Butthead: That sucks Beavis: Yeah, really

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 09:00 PM) But there are also clearly some very real negative consequences for all involved when there is a constant stream of illegal immigrants into the country. Yep, I might have to get a taurus instead of a benz. Could you imagine?
