QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:51 AM) I have friends who in denver who say the Rockies are the dumbest organization in baseball. I wouldn't quite say that...but this year, especially with the s*** division they play in, they wre not going to be sellers b/c of what they accomplised last year... I don't want them going and gettin all good anyway, I can still see a baseball game for 4 dollars, even after a World Series birth. Damn field beatings/world series wins took my 6 dollar third baseline seats away. (If you are too young to remember, half price monday and tuesdays when they didn't check stubs on the main level was a sox fans dream, I went to lifetimes share of games in high school.)

Honestly I think you could sign Juan to a pretty cheap/decent contract and spend some money else where, as in a starting pitcher... Trade Fields....

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 01:58 PM) I wouldn't call that overreacting though. I'd have to agree with that as well. I'm a huge Paulie supporter but I wasn't against benching him. I just wasn't about to say his career is over. All players go through ups and downs, sometimes for a whole season...a lot of people can't grasp that about baseball though.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 09:21 PM) People overreact way too much around here. I'd like Jimbo to chime in on that

PAULIE!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) Even if he's injured, this award already belongs to Longoria. It really is, even if his clutch/RISP #'s bite the big one

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 02:54 AM) so, konerko's heating up apparently. could it be that the griffey trade was kw's elaborate plot to motivate paul konerko? genius. I disagree, since I added my avatar Paulie has been on the upswing. It was all me plain and simple...

Well it's news to me, so don't beat down the messanger assholes....haha

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 02:47 PM) 2004-Josh Fields, Tyler Lumsden, Gio Gonzalez (finally a great pick, too bad he is with Oakland) Jesus, why do people hump his leg so much....why do you think he is such a great pick? What has he done in the MLB and what warrents him being a better pick than Broadway at this point? I think it just might be b/c he has a cool name...

Wow, I forgot Chris Sabo ever wore a White Sox jersey...guess that says somethin

gotta rest CQ another day now

I got an epidural right before I went under for my ACL surgery. I couldn't feel my leg for like 2-3 days, my parents had to lift it up on the couch for me. It was awesome...

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 12:53 PM) Just watched "The Sting" again this weekend. Newman is one of my favorite actors. Was it on WGN? seems like they play yhat movie at least 3 times a week.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 04:59 AM) Man, you just can't give your BDS a rest for one f***ing post, can you? Look at the light hearted way the picture is posted and maybe make a funny post, not a partisan post. What the hell are you going to do if Obama loses? You will be un f***ing bearable. CALM DOWN I mean this is the Filibuster, you have to come in here expecting people with political biases....thats why the wonderful mods made this sub-forum...

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 07:29 PM) Insane... LINK The weird thing is, is that they weren't even "for sale"....Colorado residents who signed up to recieve an email about the ticket information were informed on Wednesday. The email told us that we had to goto this website and sign up for a "Community Credential" and that we would be contacted by the 15th. We were only allowed to put ourselves in and another guest colorado resident. No one that I know including myself have herd anything yet. They are supposed to email/text message information to tell us if we received our "community credential." I got the email and I immediatly noticed b/c I have my gmail open here at work. I went to the website right away and signed up for a ticket. I will keep you guys posted as I hear more. Hopefully I will get one I only signed up for 1 ticket. Well if I fail then I am def renting out my apartment. My buddies a block away from me with a 2 bedroom got $4000 for 5 nights....

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 06:47 PM) Its a combination of everyone who took the time to send in their personal weighted lists. THANK GOD

Wait so this list is only one person's favortie sox players...so we all could essentially make a thread for our 50 favorite players?

Buzz is starting the hit out here in Denver. Lightpole banners for the convention started to go up and more speakers are being announced (Bill Clinton). Man its gonna be a crazy week out here, and I am basically in the middle of it all. I live a half block from the state capitol and about a block down from that is the designated "protest" area. Supposedly they are going to close a section of Colfax ave (longest street in the US) during certain times of the day for all the protestors to congregate. They also just announced the ticket procedures for Obama's speech at Invesco field. Looks like its gonna be a s***show to obtain them but living in Colorado you can sign up for a "community credential" and hope that you can get one.

QUOTE (Steff @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 10:35 PM) Oh suck it up sissy boy, and keep your mouth shut!! IMO, if you aren't part of the solution in a matter like this, then you are part of the problem. I can't understand any company appreciating or tolerating such actions wasting company dime, especially in this economic climate. And while I'm sure they are out there, I'm glad I have never worked for, or with, such ignorants. I really am a sissy boy, but honestly I believe their superior is on another floor so he isn't around the hear the constant blabbering about random bulls***. Its one of those situations where its like well s*** I just showed up to work I guess I dont have to do anything for the 1st 2 hours or the last 2 hours. I mean I guess you can say the same about myself on soxtalk...BUT...I can still answer the telephones and do my job while conversing with you fools. The best part about it is at least one time a day the most annoying of the three comments about how loud and annoying she is then just laughs and laughs like to rub it in to the other 30+ people on the floor.

Here's another update..... So now they are talking about an xmas party and some women flashing and how she was wear ugly granny panties....you can figure the gist of the conversation...but I would think now I have actual grounds to goto HR with a legitamate sexual harrasment case. Ha, it's making me uncomfortable

THIS.TEAM.IS.JOHN.DANKS.

You know what really grinds my gears...Comcast not having "Comcast" sportsnet in there sports package...but yet having every single Foxsportsnet channel...I mean what the hell... oh and trying to double charge me so I could get my Extra Innings package back since I moved....I wish I knew one of those contracters with the set up boxes

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 05:34 PM) Taking it to HR is probably the worst thing you can do. Corporations like to know you can deal with things and that you're part of the team. Going to HR will not only result in the bigwigs in your office finding out that you complained, and put you out there at risk. Do your job, because ratting people out for any reason other than something truly serious. The company will take care of those three when layoffs come around. For anyone else who thinks moves such as the one suggested above are a good idea (which they are not), please read Corporate Confidential. It will open your eyes. EDIT: I see the problem solved itself. However, read the above book so you can find out more times than not, HR is not on your side. Its really one of those situations where your damned if you do and damned if you don't...I am just happy I ended up not having to do anything...

QUOTE (scenario @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 05:35 PM) I vote Julio Franco. That one made me laugh out loud. ^^^^^^
