I agree. Iggy needs to be the 9th hitter until he proves he can handle the top of the order. I'd be after we would start him with too much pressure and he would just crack.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) I guess it depends on what you define as a "bad home". Maybe it's the kid who's parents don't pay enough attention to them. Maybe it's the kid who's parents already abuse him/her. IMHO, it's those types of kids that would be an easier target compared to one that has parents who are very involved and have a very open relationship with their kids. Would the teacher have started some kind of relationship if she knew the kid would go home and tell his parents what was going on? On the other hand, I would agree that anyone (no matter race, gender, etc.) is at anymore risk than anyone else from some Joe Blow child molester who just happens to like the way they walk down the street. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think you hit the nail right on the head. The fact is that this woman is totally sick in the head. I'm 23 years old. I'm getting to the point that I have to be careful because I could be flirting with a girl at the college I go to and I find out they are 16 or 17. That even creeps me out. I couldn't imagine going after a 13 year old.

I just spent like 5 of those wisconsin quarters...

Doesn't this Scott guy work for whitesox.com?

QUOTE(Man Of Steel @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) Again point me to where it said that the kid was FORCED to do anything or was against his own will in this, I dont recall seeing that anywhere.. And it is fine because when you hear about younger kids having sex you dont say "Well those kids are f***ed" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A thirteen year old can not fully appriciate the effect of what he's doing. That goes for having sex or going to the movies. Secondly I would say those kids would be "f***ed" up for life but thats just me.

This is the only board I visit. I think I need to find some more interests...

QUOTE(Man Of Steel @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 11:25 AM) so let me get this straight.. if a 13 year old has sex with a 13 year old... its fine BUT if a 13 year old has sex with a 27 year old, the kid is f***ed for life?? HMM.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No it's not "fine." But there is a much greater chance that the two thirteen year olds would be more on the same level emotionally and it's doubtful one thirteen year old would have that much authority over the other one.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 10:37 AM) It's not true... The kid's f***ed, whether he liked it, was an active pursuer, whatever... He's gonna be messed for life... He'll seek out relationships where he's yields control, or looks for older women, or scours the internet for teacher/student snuff films, or like to dress up as a baby and be diapered, or you get the picture... The one thing he won't be, without a lot of psychological help, is a normal sexually well-adjusted adult who has normal relationships. Those saying that they would have been all for it (Hey I admit I thought the same thing when I first saw it) are doing so with the mind of a old. Remember for a second what it was like to be 13 and in a relationship -- This is gonna be hard for some of you -- This is a time when relationships are measured in hours and days, yet the emotions attached seem greater than anything you've ever experienced before... There's no way a 13yo can mark this relationship as just another notch on the bedpost. It's going to affect him deeply, for years and years. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right on...

IMO if Johan repeats his CY Young year then 18 Mil would have to be the starting point. He will get a huge contract somewhere and it won't be from the Twins. Lets just hope the SOB isn't loyal.

QUOTE(Man Of Steel @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 12:05 AM) First of all, no woman will ever have power over me and second, your still getting off from what I was trying to ask Jeckle.. Yes I understand that it was "Rape" either way.. but if the boy WANTED to do it, and wasnt forced into doing it I dont see why he would have problems later on in life.. I understand what your saying though, its just not exactly what Im trying to get at here.. and uhh.. i dont know what boy WOULDNT say no to having some old guy touching his goodies <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Read my reply to Kid Gleason. There is an example about how it could screw up the kid later on.

QUOTE(Chi Town Sox @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 11:33 PM) so the tigers are basically getting any player possible who played in the city of chicago last year <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is weird to see them picking up our sloppy seconds.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 10:41 PM) The teacher should be locked away for a looooong time, mainly because she was going after a kid. But at the same time, I can say that when I was 13 I had a teacher I was head over heals with. I mean, her class is the only class I ever got over 100% in. Straight A student all the way, plus every bit of extra credit you could imagine. My ending percentage was something like 120% or some crazy thing. I was also a kid who had certain things on my mind quite often. I had not experienced anything at that time, and would not for quite a few years yet. But ya know, if the situation had presented itself with said teacher, I am not so sure I would have run to the hills and hid, and I am not so sure I would have ever needed counseling. I think that is why some guys can look at this a bit different. When I was 13-18 I thought of little else. Plus, this teacher is the age of many on this board, so it is being looked at through the eyes of a guy her age, seeing an attractive female, and remembering back to what it was like to be a teenage boy with hormones on overdrive. I defy you to find ONE 13 year-old boy who isn't sneaking pictures or looks at a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition or Playboy. What she did was wrong, nobody is condoning what she did on this site. But many here are remembering what some fantasies were when we were 13, and this sure as heck was one of mine. BUt yeah, send the freak away for a looooong time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I get where your coming from. I'm 23 so i'm not that far removed from those years and I can remember having a few fantasies. However this isn't about a boy having a fantasy about a teacher. This is about a person in a position of authority taking advantage of someone who doesn't have the presence of mind to fully comprehend what they are doing. This kid at best is going to grow up disrepecting women and at worst is going to need some therapy. If you had slept with that teacher you would of developed an emotional attachment. More then likely you would of been in "love." I think it's a safe bet this woman wouldn't of felt the same way. Just imagine how tramatic it would be if you did get with her and you find out you didn't mean anything to her. I'm not saying that this is the case with this kid in particular but it's why the situation is as bad as it is.

Using the Woodrow Wilson version of democracy. Equality for all, as long as their male. :rolly

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 06:45 PM) I actually think Diaz is better. The problem with Diaz is that every time they brought him up to start, instead of doing so a couple of days earlier(when they knew they were going to need him) they brought him up the day of his turn. That's bad when you have to wake up early in the morning to catch a flight to whereever, not being able to go over pitches with your catcher and then as soon as you get there it's pretty much, put on your uni and go out there. The one shot he was given when he didn't have to fly in for the gameday was when he faced the Cubs at home and he did pretty well for 6 innings(I think he only gave up 3 runs that game). What the Sox need to do is when they know they need an emergency start from someone in their minors, they need to have them fly in a day or two earlier than their start date. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Totally right... Except your missing the outstanding start against the Mariners. The other start he had without being jerked around.

IMO Garland should be the #4 The fact is that he has the more consistant track record. Proven year after year he can be decent in a full year at the Cell. Contreas hasn't proven anything.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 10:30 PM) What the........?? Ozzie has a vendetta against Aaron?? Now I've heard it all. :headshake <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well there has to be some reason when your best player is batting 7th when the team is desperate for offense. The fact is that it wasn't until Rowand gave him no choice did he finally put him at the top of the order. Now he wants to move him back to the bottom. Something messed up about that.

IMO if he has another CY young year he'd laugh at an offer of 11 Mil a year. He'll be commanding Randy Johnson type money. IMO the twins won't sign him and I doubt he'll be in the central. It'll be between the teams with the deep pockets and the teams with players coming off the payroll (cubs for instance.)

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 07:28 PM) i love rowand batting in the 6th spot it just shows how deep our lineup is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually it's sad. It shows that Ozzie still carries a vendetta over AROW. He was hotter then heck and was still in the 7th hole. Ozzie needs to get rid of a jealous vendetta and put AROW where he belongs, which is the 2nd or 3rd spot. A place where he can carry the team.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 06:00 PM) and crime is crime. and this teacher is a sexual predator who should be locked away for what she did, once it's proven in court. a 27-year-old woman who has sexual desires towards a 13-year-old boy is every bit as much of a sicko as the reverse would be. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Glad i'm not the only one who thinks this is just as serious as if a Man did it. Mark my words this kid is going to need Therapy and at the very least he's going to have screwed up relationships with women.

QUOTE(silver and black @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) ... or be very, very happy to get laid. I know I would... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You think that now but there are emotional problems just waiting to happen.

American Dad sucked. I'll watch the next 2 episodes and if it doesn't improve then i'll never watch it again.

As sick as that story is I think we are missing something here. If this was a male teacher everyone on here would be repulsed. We would want the guy castrated (and I can't said i'd disagree). The point is this is happening way to often and I don't care if it's male or female it's still rape and it's no joking matter. This 13 year old isn't a pimp. Or a stud. More then likely the poor kid will be in counseling for years trying to get over what happened to him.

I just don't get the reason to fine over it. Is it tacky? Yes but jeez as long as their equipment isn't shoving I don't think it's something you should be fined over.

No way this is real... I mean maybe it's just me but I don't remember anything Gay about the flintstones.
