QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:32 AM) I think some people are taking this much lighter than it should be. This has already become national news on ESPN Radio. Whomever set up the blow up dolls with bats in their orifices knew that reporters and the like would see it. It's sexual harassment for any female reporter who was near the locker room. I don't care what anyone says, women are allowed in the locker room at designated times, and that's demeaning. It's childish, it's embarrassing as a Sox fan, it's not funny in my opinion. Why don't they grow the f*** up? What has the amazing double stuffed quad penetrated doll resulted in? 3 runs over 18 innings. Jerry Reinsdorf should be embarrassed as should anyone who ever wore a Sox jersey. With Ozzie's rant, and now this, it's unacceptable. That's just my $.02. I think the possible naked men, the rap music, and the cursing in the clubhouse might be more offensive in nature than Becky the blow up doll with her constant surprised look on her face. I think we need to stop with the PC crap.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ May 6, 2008 -> 07:25 AM) Well if they hired...ahem 'professionals' for the slumpbuster...kinda like a live art show so to speak... I can see some of the manufactured outrage, but they are frickin dolls? Front page article about Dolls. Way to go Suntimes you are officially the Daily Mirror now.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 6, 2008 -> 08:13 AM) I agree 100% and used video games extensively as my kids were growing up as learning tools. What gets frustrating is the attitude that we can have all these taboo items easily available, then blame parents if there kids are exposed to them. The same children on the board that argue against any censorship and parental control would go nuts if their parents excercised the proper controls. "You don't TRUST me!" Society has to place limits. There are certain attributes of a civilized society. There are certain restrictions that are for the majorities benefit. I believe those restrictions are already in place with the rating system. As long as retailers abide by the selling restrictions and parents actually act like parents this wouldnt be a problem. Underage kids shouldnt get their hands on a game like GTAIV, as they shouldnt get their hands on "backdoor sluts VII DVD" ( Southpark reference). It seems that parents today are trying more and more to be buddies than authority figures.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 6, 2008 -> 07:52 AM) You do not see a difference in an interactive video game and reading a book? There are many studies that show humans have markedly different reactions to animated or acted material versus static written words or even pictures. It seems each form of entertainment should be treated as a separate form with appropriate laws. I have played video games since pong, and have just about every single system since. I am a firm believer in that video games helps abstract thinking, spatial recognition, hand eye coordination, problem solve, and the ability to multitask. Specifically, I believe it has helped prepared me for my job as I have 7 to 8 windows open with different pieces of data, and the ability to absorb that data and find the needle in the haystack. The ability to multitask, the ability to process complex data sets, the ability to problem solve are all keys of my job. Now dont get me wrong, processing a good book for knowledge is great as well. I am an avvid reader as far as technical books to keep the skillset growing. But I believe that both video games and reading help me in my job. I have my young son who is under 4 playing skill games like Sonic the Hedgehog as well as Tetris to help him with shapes and spatial recognition. He of course is not playing GTAIV and all, but age appropriate games can assist a person in their learning path.

Here comes the feminist avengers. Carol Slezak fights for inflatable women everywhere. Now we need Kotex boy to jump on this, with a Couch mini me pile on and we have our trifecta of dumb from the Suntimes. Someone named Kara from the Suntimes is also upset that the blow up dolls were violated. And here we go

Fun videos - The Grim Reaper: Family Guy

Rongey said changes are being made tomorrow, and Uribe might be part of it.

Well kids, button them up because the ride is about to get real bumpy. Twinks @Seattle @LA Angels @ San Fran ( we luck out so far with the back end of their rotation facing Cain on the Sunday) Cleveland Angels @ Cleveland @ Tampa Yikes

You fire Greg Walker and Mike Gellinger. In the interm you make Harold Baines the interm hitting coach, you attempt to lure Hrniak to assist Baines. In the offseason you hire a proper hitting coach.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ May 5, 2008 -> 07:54 PM) I know, it sucks. On paper our usual offensive lineup looks like a juggernaut. Heh, who knew? You must of missed the last year and a half.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2008 -> 07:47 PM) You can't pinch hit a guy who's already in the game. The only PH option was Crede, and he was sitting the game for a Migrane. Was he okay enough to dress. If he was then you put him out there. 5 game losing streak, you have the bases loaded on walks, and you have a impatient not so good hitter end it.

1.96 ERA for the series and we get swept. Good job Walk, you and Gellinger are thieves on payday. Thank god we called up Russell instead of a bat for the series. That worked out well.

. 1.96 ERA over the 4 games and we get swept. Holy s***.

That better be some f***ing headache to have Pablo bat there. I mean his ears better be bleeding, he better be getting intravenous fluids. Because if he just needed a midol then he can go.

Why the f*** is Pablo batting.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2008 -> 07:27 PM) Good post...I believe Walker said in the past he would resign if he felt he wasn't doing his job. Well he deals a good set of cards during the post game card game, he makes everyone feel good by telling them their suckitude is not their fault, and is a hoot of a jokester.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2008 -> 07:25 PM) why in the world is he throwing javy out there for 120 + pitches? The same reason he felt to extend floyd to 6 innings after he waited for an hour delay for a rain delay. Same reason he did the same thing to Freddy.

What a waste of solid pitching. The offense should be embarrassed.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ May 5, 2008 -> 07:02 PM) Dear Chicago White Sox offense, WAKE THE f*** UP RIGHT NOW. Sincerely, Willie Harris Dear Willie, Tom Skilling is tracking a perfect storm over the dome in Canada, it followed us from Minny, and is due to arrive tomorrow. Until the unseasonably cold weather leaves us, and the perfect storm leaves we will have problems hitting. Oh and please ask the pitcher to stop giving up these runs. We need perfect slates so our offense can feel loosey goosey and doesnt press. Once July hits, the lift and pull moonshot crew should be ready to show itself. Greg Walker

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2008 -> 06:59 PM) I'm sacrificing myself for the team. I moved from a 50 inch hi def to a 27 inch no hi def. Maybe that will shake things up. You wont be able to see the dramatic colors of giblet gravy fly out of Uribe's mouth and he slumbers to 1st on his 6-3 putout.

Over the last 7 days the whitesox have a 2.93 ERA as a team. And we are about to drop our 6th. Why is Greg Walker a sacred cow.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 5, 2008 -> 06:45 PM) Throw fastballs down the middle and we would miss them or pop em up. Its amazing, this is the type of pitcher that they usually tee off on. A plus fastball guy who challenges over the middle of the plate. But bats are slow, and swings are long.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2008 -> 05:50 PM) How was that Uribe's fault? When the infield is playing back conceding the run, you have to score on that play. Farmer and Stone were all over that play because uribe should of scored.

Thank god that none of them were irish. Peta would be mad.

Sounds pretty funny to me. Now Kotex boy and Carol 'Defender of Blowup Doll's rights" Slezak will make more out of it than need be. I could care less. If it loosens them up, or makes them believe it loosens them up and they hit, who the f*** cares. My real question is, can one of the blowup dolls play 2nd and hit 9th.
