QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 22, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) Damn, get a new hobby. And you obviously have not been watching if you think Mark is a borderline ace, and that Vaz hasn't shown signs of pitching like everyone expects him to the last few months. Vaz should have racked up 6 or 7 more wins the last two months, instead he is getting 1 or 2 runs a game, if that. However I guess it does equal out seeing as he received the most run support of any pitcher at the ASB. You're right. I've never watched a game in my life. In fact, I don't even know what baseball is. Sports are foreign to us where I live. I guess to that, I do need a new hobby. I'm putting my two cents into something I know NOTHING about. I must be crazy. Keep at it sir arm chair GM.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 22, 2006 -> 08:55 AM) If we are going to dump a starter, make it Buehrle. He's only ours through 2007, is a lefty with trade value, and has terrible stuff. At least Vaz has shown some signs, and Freddy has shown he can get people out lately. Signs. Hahaha. Hahahahahaha. Hahahahahahaha. Are you talking about when he was with the Expos in 2003? Previous to this, Buehrle's worst season was a 4.14 ERA. He's a good pitcher feeling the effects of an extended season, shortened off-season...just as (aside from Vazquez (!!!)) the other starters are. If you trade Buehrle, you're out the only lefty starter on the team and your out a guy that has posted very, very good numbers since getting the call in 2000. Not only that you're out a borderline ace. Do you really want to see BOTH Vazquez and Garcia on the team next year? They were sick to watch this year...ESPECIALLY Vazquez who we all know is healthy. Kill me if I see a rotation of: Garland Contreras Vazquez Garcia McCarthy Kill me. Just please f***ing kill me.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 08:55 AM) Ketchup and onions, that way people leave me alone. I puked in my mouth thinking about that.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 10:59 PM) As I said in the other thread, I am giving him a free pass, he showed me something 2 years ago starting, and you can't compare that role to a bullpen role. Prep, mindset, everything is different, the problem though is he will probably not be used to a full year of starting and will probably break down That's a terrible misconception. Preperation is only slightly different. The mindset isn't different at all. Pitching is pitching, nothing else...you either know how to do it or you don't. Different players have different success because they change their mind-set from pen to the rotation or vice versa. If you recall the game Black Jack took the booth, he talked about this.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:43 PM) He is an excellent hitter. His defense isn't as good as some are making it out to be. His range is not very good and he is slow. Jermaine is a good fielder for what he can do. He's not comparable to certain other RFers because of speed, but despite that, he defends what territory he can well and as good as anyone else. (Maybe that makes sense?)

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:28 AM) iPods can sense if they are being forced to interface with any of that cheap iron wintel hardware, and then they give up and die. If you were using a Mac the iPod would be happy and wouldn't commit iSuicide. You wish that were true, but iPods commit suicide all around the world regardless of who their "mother" is. iPod's are great, I love mine (despite being anti macintosh) but they have serious issues that have never been ironed out. Plus Microsoft is about to blow the ipod to nothingness with the Zune. http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/itunes/micr...date-186628.php (Crack all the jokes you want to with Microsoft bugs, but it can't be any worse than the lifeline of the iPod that takes 30 trips to the ER every year)

I'm going to sign up, but I've had a play money account before (a couple years ago, I guess I'm cheating) ... but I remember partypoker being rabid with cheaters.

Teenagers do WELL.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 14, 2006 -> 07:54 PM) Nintendo once again making a great system. I didn't mind the Game Cube but I felt it was clearly inferior to other systems just because they didn't have a lot of the games that interest me besides sports ones. But this is great, I love the old Nintendo games, it'll be fun to play them again. Nintendo has never really made games that break the bend. They have Mario, Metroid Prime and Zelda...outside of that they rarely, if ever, have a big hit.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 14, 2006 -> 10:58 PM) You know, you guys in the Game Thread yesterday thought I was completely out of line and even "dispicable" with my comments involving Garcia's perfect game but you know what I'm starting to think I was right. I know Freddy Garcia is a bad pitcher, most of the people of here know Freddy Garcia is a bad pitcher but he's managed to trick a whole hell of a lot of people out there into thinking he's half way decent, who's to say he hasn't done the same with Ozzie and KW? I'm frightened. Well, it'll be interesting to see what that splitter does for him. Hitters could very well adjust, but the perfect game bid was certainly an interesting proposal from Freddy Garcia.

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Sep 14, 2006 -> 07:59 AM) who would the angels really take from us to give upa stud like kendrick? as you said uribe's defense has been poor and we all remember the royce clayton era so SS is a definite I'm still baffled that people think this.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 10:32 AM) How does a dress code relate to fear? Are you talking about getting in trouble for not dressing properly in school? I am not quite sure if I understand what you are talking about. Its not like kids are going to get beaten for not pulling up their pants. It doesn't. It relates to the other arguments that surfaced in this discussion.

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) Well, as I've said, one is leading his team to the playoffs and the other is leading his team to a third place finish. Which is why Frank Thomas should be in consideration for the AL MVP award this season.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) Yeah but it is a quote from somebody who isn't a teacher. Fear of doing things that are improper is a part of society (i.e. I'm not going to kill the dumb motherf***er who cut me off because I'd go to prison for a long time) and has a part in schools. Interest and making the material interesting does a great deal for classroom management but management via discipline tactics does have its definite and correct place in schools, especially in schools where the parents have not instilled the greatest values towards behavior either due to lack of involvement in their lives by choice or working to put a roof over their heads/food on the table etc. I don't think at any one point did Kubrick say not to enforce discipline. You can have discipline while involving teaching tactics (and subjects) that include a great deal of interest.

Thought I'd bring this back with a Stanley Kubrick quote: "I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker." Can anyone disagree with that?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 09:33 PM) Freddy or Javy's salaries alone would make up half the Devil Rays' payroll they want no part of that. Logan, Haeger and Tracey aren't much of prospects at this point, the D-Rays are looking for top pitching prospects at this point especially for a player of Crawford's level. Carl Crawford is one of the best young players in the game, it's going to take a slew of top prospects to get him. Then I guess the question is would you trade McCarthy for Crawford?

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) This team is entirely too good to miss the playoffs. They can rip off 8-9 in a row at any time. I think they will and all this hand ringing will be for not. That was said all through April, May, June, July and August. It's Sept. 8th and the only big winning streak the team had was against the terrible National League ... and they shared that streak with several other AL teams mopping up the NL. It ain't going to happen, If this team makes the playoffs by some miracle, they better pray the offense comes into first half form or they will be embarrassed worse than in the 2000 ALDS.

It should be Country Demolition Night or Paris Hilton Demolition Night.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) Steff just make love...not judgements. Except in her last two statements...which are blatant personal attacks. Glad to see SoxTalk is up to snuff on their new "policy".

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 01:41 PM) Cintron hits for decent average, hits in the clutch, and hits bad pitches. That's all I really ask for from my #9 hitter, not many #9 hitters are worth a crap anyways. Yea, and then you ask for stellar defense...which Alex Cintron doesn't have.
