Leonard Zelig

It would be impossible for Ozzie to get a fair trial here on Soxtalk right now. What exactly did he say that was wrong here?

I guess nobody has seen The Thing yet?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) Basically I guy goes into a s***ty neighborhood to take his friend to some guys house. As soon as he steps out of the car he's blasted by some random 15 year old kid with a shotgun, ripping off part of his right arm. He looks up at the kid again, who puts a second shot (hole) in his chest. He's on the ground at this point and the kid puts the gun against his head. The guy moves at the last second and only gets the top chunk of his scalp ripped off. The guy looks up one more time at the kid before the kid knocks out all of his teeth with the butt of the gun. He's on his stomach lying face down at this point and the kid takes his keys and drives his car away. Somehow in between blacking out (and what sounds like some divine intervention) the guy tries to get up and get help. He makes it about 20 feet before he collapses. Luckily a parole officer driving by happens to see him. He's rushed to the hospital and is in a coma for a few days. When he wakes up he has no idea who he is, where he's at, what year it is, etc. All he can recall is his parents' phone number. They are called (didn't know where he was for three days). He slowly recovers, though it takes 2-3 years before he is physically and emotionally "healed." Luckily a few days after this all happened the idiot 15 year old bragged to a friend about shooting the guy. The friend instantly called the police and they picked the kid up. Turns out it was a gang initiation process. He had to go kill someone before being accepted into the gang. "Fortunately" the guy is still alive, otherwise the kid would be in jail for life. Instead, because he lived, he only got 35 years (so will serve probably 17.5). There was some mention too about how the kid and his family basically laughed at the guy as he was testifying in court. Instead of trying to find the kid to kill him, the guy went the route of the law. There's absolutely no reason that that kid should be allowed to walk this earth. I thought the guy that he gave the ride to shot him. How else would he have known his name?

Cooper's on now calling Cowley a liar.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 10:42 PM) I believe Lidge was perfect throughout the season and postseason in 2008. And as of a second ago, Valverde has been, too. TIGERS WIN! Yeah, I think you are right about Lidge. Valverde has at least one more series to get through.

On Sunday I told my father-in-law that if I were a Tigers fan, I would have wanted Valverde to blow at least one save during the season because he is going to blow one eventually and better during the season than playoffs. We'll see here soon.

When is spring break? If you need a parent can one of you guys knock some chick up before that?

What was the general soxtalk reaction when Ozzie was hired?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) Is this BS or the truth. White Sox tab Ventura as new skipper

Is this really real?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Does anyone know who we chopped off the 40 Man Roster? 09/29/11 Chicago White Sox outrighted Jhonny Nunez to Charlotte Knights. Chicago White Sox outrighted Donny Lucy to Charlotte Knights. Florida Marlins traded RHP Jhan Marinez and SS Osvaldo Martinez to Chicago White Sox and Bristol White Sox traded Ricardo Andres to Greensboro Grasshoppers.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) The bottom line Robin is the White Sox are no better than the third best team in their division and there are easily 7 teams in the American League superior to them. And this is before the hot-stove trading and free-agent signings which we've already been told the Sox will not be active participant. Unless MLB is moving to an NBA type of playoff system which would have them playing the World Series a week before spring training starts, the only way you'll ever see the Sox in the playoffs is for them to win their division. There are several well-heeled owners that will see to it that won't happen. I thought the Sox were supposed to be very active participants. Quentin, Floyd, Danks, Thornton, if those guys are all moved I would consider that active. Of course, what they get in return remains to be seen.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 08:16 PM) Let's see you hampered the incoming manager with a pitching coach he may or may not care for and another coach who is the Joe of Hardrock, Coco and Joe Now he's rounding out the rotation and I guess tomorrow we'll get the opening day lineups. Kenny's saying he didn't have a chance to fail with his own merit, he be damned if the next manager will be given that chance. This is why loathe Reinsdorf - it's just never ending drama. Who in their right mind would be bothered with this organization? Holy obscurity!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) What on Earth do you have to do to qualify as Type A? Mark Buehrle threw 205 innings with a 3.59 era. Is it only based on the last season?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 3, 2011 -> 07:33 PM) Just when you thought things couldn't get weirder. It never got weird enough for me.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 2, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) You don't see anything. The '10 draft is barely two years old. Yet you were able to label Keenyn Walker a bust?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 30, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) Best manager, gm and player in the league on one team. Yes, Longoria is the best player in the AL when healthy. What a slut, I thought you were an Anthopoulos man?

Heard that Carp will start game 2 on short rest.
