QUOTE(iamshack @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 10:02 PM) Honestly, once in a while I'll start going and a rogue stream will break away off to the side from the main stream. The other week I was in the bathroom in a bar, and I was at a urinal, and there was a guy dropping a deuce in a stall right next to me, and I literally pissed right on his shoe.... I've never reeled it back in almost in midstream like I did that time... I don't know if he didn't know it happened or if he just didn't know who did it to him. Was he tapping his foot?

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 11:08 AM) yesterday I was asked by a 4 year old, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" ...I still don't have an answer, graduating in 6 weeks I'm 36...going to have our first child...been working in the video production world for 15 years and if you asked me the same question, I STILL would say... "I have no idea."

QUOTE(shipps @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 08:43 AM) I hope everyone had a swell Easter.Mine consisted of spending 3 hours in the White fence farm restaurant waiting room waiting for a table.I was convinced that Jesus was chastising me for not going to church. Did you have a Jesus Is Risen souffle?

Happy Birthday you angry poster you!

Next stop: Passover.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 03:39 PM) well played There is a comedian in the hoose! What? I don't understand a word, eh. Maybe you should try using upspeak.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 05:27 PM) I'm going to look at the bright side for now. After watching the game today, I'm worried about JD. He looks baaaaad. He could turn it around, but if his legs aren't under him again this year...we've at least got options to sit him early and give him time to get right. And while Quentin looks good, I think that giving him at least a month to get back in baseball shape is not going to be a bad thing. If Dye didn't like the White Sox moves and they are struggling to stay in the race, he might just waive that NTC. Then you could move Swisher to RF or bring up Quentin. Lots of options.

If you do move to Toronto and get an editing job...can you speak Canadian?

Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway...back to recruiting...

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 05:07 PM) Don't compare Josh Fields with Adam Dunn. Adam Dunn has a career OBP of .381 which happens to be Nick Swisher's career high, and Swisher will get on base a lot more than Fields. I'm not comparing them, I'm just giving you an example of someone who SO a lot but also BB's a lot. I don't think you can compare Josh Fields to anyone yet. Not with a 1/2 a season of major leagues under his belt.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 04:54 PM) Adam Dunn gets on base at a much higher clip than .308. Josh Fields has played 1/2 a season, too.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 04:46 PM) Floyd. 6 IP 6 H 2 R 2 ER 0 BB 4 SO Not too shabby. Shhh...not too loud...people might stop pissing in his cereal.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) Fields OBP was .308 last year. Crede's career is .305. I think the 100 fewer strikeouts Crede would provide would more than make up for that .003 loss of OBP. Adam Dunn says hi.

Uh-oh...you know what happened the last time a catcher played 1B. Hang on to that shoulder Phillips.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 03:57 PM) If you note this thread...the immediate response was to blame Owens... True, but there were more "Blame Floyd" responses.

Wow.

QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 01:44 PM) Agreed. And 28-4. Don't know the pbp guy's name, but he is has been brutal. Sounds like Verne Lundquist. And if it is, have some respect, the man's been doing pbp since the 20's...1820's, that is.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) That's exactly what it looked like, retarded. Let's go DRAKE!!!

Bold Prediction: The Tampa Rays will finish third behind the Yankees and Red Sox.

I like to step up to one urinal, but piss in the one next to me.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Mar 20, 2008 -> 03:56 PM) Another 4.5 Million bites the dust. Let's look at this another way...Juan's salary is 4.2% of the total 2008 salary of just over $106 mil according to Kalapse's payroll sheet. 4.2%!!! The Sox wouldn't be dropping that much even if they put him on waivers for his unconditional release. And it's only for 1 year. This isn't like the Phillies paying for 3 years. I think the Sox like Uribe...ALL of Uribe...and appreciate what he did for the Sox, but it may be time to just let him latch onto another team. and thanks again, Kalapse for your contract sheet.

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 20, 2008 -> 02:31 AM) Well, if you go the wrong way in f***ing, it's all a dirt road. Oh...that's just not right!

QUOTE(Kenny Hates Prospects @ Mar 20, 2008 -> 11:50 AM) I think we'd be much better off with Alexei as the starting SS instead of Cabrera and Garland in the rotation instead of Floyd. And you are entitled to your opinion...I, on the other hand, disagree wholeheartedly. Don't forget the outrage of Angels fans when they traded Cabrera. Between him and Swisher, this team is going to have attitude and will be more fun to watch than the laid back Garland and the fresh off the boat Ramirez.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 20, 2008 -> 11:38 AM) He has said it ad naseum if you listen to him. Not to mention that his actions have spoken louder than his words for a long time. There is a long line you can run back where any profits for a season, end up being almost the exact (if not more) increase in salaries for the White Sox team the next season. I am sick to death of hearing the mantra about JR being cheap. It doesn't matter how many times it gets repeated, IT IS NOT TRUE. There's a little truth to it...good businesspeople don't spend their money willy-nilly without it biting them in the butt in the long run. Even the owners that seem to spend money like that...Big Stein, Mark Cuban come to mind...don't necessarily do that in all their businesses and/or still find a way to make up for losses. But overall, you are right, he's not cheap...he's frugal.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 20, 2008 -> 11:36 AM) If they were so sour on him, they would never have re-signed him, but ignore the facts, back to your Uribe weight bashing. Yeah, because they had 10 days after the WS to find a replacement or go forward with no SS. The White Sox hedged their bets and it bit them in the arse. Yet, if they didn't have Uribe and couldn't get Cabrera, then we'd have Cintron or Alexei or Ozuna at SS and OOOOOHHHHH the bashing that would be taking place, especially since Richar is hurt.
