How did you not get the memo? That's like their #1 rule and has been for like a year or 2 now. Anyway, welcome to Soxtalk

Slugger. Oh how I loathe him.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) im probably overreacting a bit. It just pisses me off so much to see this kind of crap going on though. They get paid a lot of money and this crap happens. It would be a dream come true for me if i were able to play in the MLB. I think they should treat it like that. You're not overreacing a bit. You're overreacting a s***load. You don't even know what happened, what do you have to be upset about?

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) thanx Oakland!! Keep it up! Now lest take 2 of 3 from KC 2 of 3 Sweep. Sweep. Sweep. Sweep. Sweep.

6 game lead.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:57 PM) ...and you Bear fans will be paying for it alllllllllllllllllllllllllll season long. Starting a rookie quarterback in the National Football League is grounds for absolute ridicule and criticism. I said it was the wrong move then, and if the Bears win 10 games this season, I will still say it was thw wrong move. I was completely disappointed with that decision. Now, back to your regularly scheduled program. Eat the damn hat!!!

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) Wait, don't you owe us a hat eating via web cam? Yes, yes he does. God, were you wrong on that one, Addy.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:17 PM) The question then becomes is that the total team score from a 7 game series? If the Skins would have finished with 8 points that would be the case. s*** I was close. 56/7 = 8 Redskins 49/7 = 7 Bears

OMG

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:09 PM) Random facts about Soxtalk It ranks 934 out of all internet message boards when going about total amount of posts. It ranks 1278 when judging by total members. 147th when judging by people visiting per day. 63rd when going by post/member ratio 100th when going by average users online. Meaningless facts of the day. Damn Jas, you've put together one hell of a site here.

PANDEMONIUM!!!

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 07:48 PM) you don't know the whole story for this, none of us do. so until you do, there's no reason to start a thread like this. Marte has been below his average, yes.......but why exactly should we cut an above average left handed reliever again? no, seriously, answer this. If it were Bobby Jenks who showed up late, there's no way in hell this thread is started.

Both teams were just jumping up and down in front of each other at midfield just like in a college rivalry game. This is pretty stupid. Stuart Scott is yelling at the top of his lungs, "If you don't watch this game you're crazy!!!!"

Monday Night Football: Eagles @ Falcons Jeremiah Trotter and Kevin Mathis were both just ejected from the game. The game starts in about 30 minutes.

She looks like a god damn rat. She is not attractive, she is sooooooo overrated.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) ROFL, but your lucky, you got a board owner who happens to agree with your taste on Kristin Kreuk On 2nd though, I'm gonna go ban both of em, just cause i'm too lazy to look up which one of em said it I would never say Kristin Kreuk looks like a rat, she's a very attractive young lady. Now I'm getting banned...

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 04:35 PM) That's right Kalapse. Don't arbiters look at 3 year splits when deciding cases? Yes, yes they do. He'll end up with $6M - $7M in arbitration if he doesn't get a long term contract from the Sox.

Hmm... Arbitration... Well the sig is comming back...

QUOTE(Rich McKinney @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) Whew!...If that wasn't the second coming of 'War and Peace.' I cover the Angels in the spring for the Associated Press (Los Angeles). If the Angels want Konerko, they will get him. The Sox won't be able to match the offer because their fans don't support them. Also, expect Garland to be dealt at the end of this season.The Sox won't give him the $10 million or so he'll get per season as a result of arbitration. Heck, he's only had half of one good season. LMAO, Garland will get nowhere near $10M in arbitration, they don't just look at the half a good season he had they look at his career numbers when arbitration cases are heard. And as for "the fans don't support them" BULL f***ING s***. The Sox have already drawn over 2 million people this year, how is that not supporting a team? If the Sox want to resign Konerko they will, they have the money to do it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) I got blasted for suggesting Frank was a selfish hitter this season. We need an offensive upgrade for next year, but no way can you count on Thomas to ever recover from his injury to help you on a consistent basis. Ahem... QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) I wouldn't mind seeing a trade for Huff now. I think I'm in the minority thinking here but I'm kinda glad Frank isn't comming back this season. He is my favorite player of all time but the player I saw this season is not that man. We need a more consistent bat than Frank's in the middle of our lineup. QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) Frank hit a s*** load of HRs in a small amount of time but also struck out a lot and failed to get the runner over in crucial situations. He was all or nothing in his time back. He contributed but not as much as people think he did.

QUOTE(SouthSide2004 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) No doubt they have the better schedule, but c'mon now, whose position would you rather be in? The most important aspect of this year versus previous years is that we control our own destiny (by playing our challenger) with a lead. If we go 3-3 against the Indians and let's say 4-10 in our other games, the Indians would have to go 10-3 in their remaining games to beat us for the division. And do you really think we are going to go 4-10 against the Royals, Twins and Tigers? Now, I'm not saying we are definately going to make the playoffs, but there is no need to start "The season is over" threads after every lost. We've been saying this for a while now, we can go .500 the rest of the way and Cleveland would have to win a a .750 clip to pass us and everybody is happy but when it comes down to it, the Indians are currently the hottest team in baseball. They're not losing at all and yes I could see us going 4-10.

Konerko: 2005 RISP: .240 BA .840 OPS 2005 Runners on: .267 BA .871 OPS Career RISP: .272 BA .818 OPS Career Runners on: .278 BA .824 OPS He may not be very good with RISP 2 outs but he ain't bad with RISP and better with runners on in general.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) I've gotten to the point where I don't even watch the reruns...maybe its because I associate the show with current episodes, and I don't want to watch those. Whenever I see the classic episodes it really bothers me becuase it just reminds me of how horrible the show has gotten. The last 6 seasons have almost ruined the previous 11 for me.

Probably my favorite episode ever.
