I'd be honest with your parents about how you feel (reasons 1-3). You did mention you were 22, and I think that age constitutes you being able to make your own decisions in life, especially about dating. It will save your parents, dude, and most importantly, you, a lot of time.

Does this qualify as 'under the radar?'

That is damn impressive.

I like spending money on a significant other.

Mike Jackson-esque.

I think the occasional argument and insult is good for the board. It's just more prevalent now because we're enduring the offseason and we don't have much Sox to talk about. I actually have more respect for posters like Steff or YASNY because even though we've bickered and insults have been tossed around, they let me know exactly how they felt, and I've thought about where they are coming from. They are full of personality and the board is better with posters like that. Another example, Qwerty let Anthrax have it last night, and I think it was well deserved. I'm not sure if it will make a difference (hopefully), but at least Anthrax knows what most of the board thinks of his posts. I'm glad he didn't turn the other cheek. I come to soxtalk because it isn't run like a Nazi dictatorship. WSI is good for pure baseball discussion, but gets dull and boring. When Cerb flames somebody, it's just plain entertaining, and usually has merit. If you are too mature to insult somebody on an internet message board, then you should feel free to just let things go. But I don't think posters should be discouraged from using insults if they were personally attacked by someone else, as long as it doesn't get completely out of hand. It's just an internet message board...

If the Sox make a big free agent signing before Soxfest, will they have new jerseys of that player available for purchse during Soxfest?

You're right, he was very dominant for awhile. I'm just not sure which Vazquez would show up for the Sox. His huge contract is what scares me.

You throw together some really intriguing lineups.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm actually kind of suprised how high most of the posters here are about Vazquez.

I'd welcome RJ or Roger...

Just to clarify, I wasn't calling Steff a whore. Not at all. If that were the case, I guess that makes me...a vacuum. Does that make sense? I was trying to say that maybe sometimes she's guilty of the very thing that she was accusing me of. I was also trying to be comical at the same time, but obviously my humor is lost on you guys. And if I was embarrased in any way about my 'homework' folder (porn stash), do you think I would've opened up about it on an internet message board? All should feel free to use that when 'burning' me in the future.

I'd take him for 750k.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I can't believe you think my posting style is rude. That's like the whore telling the vacuum it sucks. So it's your kindness that lands you in a new argument each day?

I said read something other than the first page. That doesn't mean read the whole thread word for word. Just taking a glimpse at any of the other pages would clearly tell any reader that this deal was a hoax. Your weak stabs at my character are really pathetic.

Eh, one of Cheat's links said that several people close to Randy acknowledged that he does not want to be here.

Read something other than the first page.

Cleveland lost Vizquel and will lose Belliard too. Unless they sign a starting pitcher, they still have two very big holes in their staff. If they sign Clement, they'll probably be the biggest threat. By the way, is it really a fact that they are only getting better? If anything happens to C.C., they're done. Don't even talk about Detroit contending, that starting pitching staff is a mess. Even if they sign a free agent. Kansas City, no explanation needed. I still see Minnesota as our biggest competition. However, I feel they will get outbid on Radke. "Radke almost certainly has better offers on the table than the Twins' three-year, $21 million proposal. If the Twins keep raising their offer by $1 million a day, they'll be serious contenders by the start of the winter meetings on Dec. 10." Unless he is loyal, he could be gone. Resigning Koskie? The Central division is shaking in it's collective boots. I like how you point out our weak position players. We can't have an All-Star at every position, you know. There's nothing wrong with Uribe either. This White Sox team contended fairly late into the season against Minnesota without Maggs, Frank, and a 5th starter. Even with Diaz or Grill as the 5th starter, I'm very confident that a healthy White Sox rotation including: Johnson Buehrle Garcia Contreras wins the Central division by more than a few games, even if Jurrasic is in RF, and Willie is at 2B. That team has a better chance to win its division than any other AL team.
