QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 11:06 PM) Of course I was affected. The difference, which apparently still evades you, is how I handled the situation. Unlike Bradley, I didn't go to the media and throw an entire group of people under the bus because a few idiot members of that group insulted and threatened me. Not to mention that I wasn't getting paid $20 million to put up with that abuse. No, but in the world of relativity, you are b****ing about it on a message board. And bradley wasn't paid extra money by the cubs because there were obnoxious racists in the stands. This abuse shouldn't be tolerated and these fans should be dealt with.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 12:15 AM) I must say I think this is what you like and want. well it's a stupid opinion. You listening to music that more people like doesn't make your selections any more righteous.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 10:58 PM) Your rambling post makes no sense. Milton Bradley and Gene Wojciechowski need to learn that the world is full of idiot vermin. Excusing Bradley for not dealing with alleged name-calling in a professional manner makes Wojciechowski look like a overly-politically-correct tool. I think the hilarious irony is you getting mad at these people for getting mad at racists at wrigley when you clearly were affected and angry about getting called "white" one time.

did she fall in love with you when you introduced yourself as the sultan pimp of soxtalk? Congrats! Enjoy the wedding planning.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 11:45 PM) I can't remember what the name of the restaurant was when I went down there for a baseball tourney. But there is a really good restaurant that is full of baseball memorabilia and commemorates Ozzie Smith, if only I remembered the name. I'm pretty sure Smith owns that restaurant. If you were ever at one time a remotely famous st. louis cardinal you can retire with a successful restaurant in StL. They inexplicably flock to anything remotely tied to that org.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 11:47 PM) Not affecting me much? I've had a gun stuck in my face while being called a "white motherfu@ker" before. Shows what you know... and that has some bearing on this how? Because you have a gun in your face, Milton Bradley should have to "deal" with racists in the stands? Dave Winfield went through that s*** so hopefully someday people like Milton Bradley wouldn't have to. And in 2009 people like Milton Bradley shouldn't have to. Could he react better? Yes. I'm sure that racist behavior in the stands is not the reason, exclusively, Bradley did not work out on the Northside. But frankly you going on a rant about how he should suck it up, and how al sharpton is ruining your life because he wants to end racist language but nobody cares about how somebody mugged you once, is just weird. Settle down.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 10:39 PM) So, "hate speech" only applies to race-baiting? Calling somebody's mother a "fat c*nt" doesn't count? It's the same juvenile stupidity. The reason that nobody bothers to attack the non-racist hate speech in the crowds is because the Al Sharptons of the world can't make a buck off of it. Yes, I'm defending calling someone's mother a fat c***. What the hell are you talking about? Just because someone is getting paid multi-millions doesn't mean he can't be offended by someone using incredibly offensive language at them. It doesn't mean the person in the stands isn't also accountable in this situation. If this has been a common theme, the cubs can set some policies to punish unruly fans. I'd be fine with some at sox games, with all the kids, I should hope people can restrain themselves from swearing. but yeah, this all goes back to Al Sharpton, man, people like you have a giant chip on your shoulder from stuff that frankly doesn't affect you much.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 11:34 PM) No there isn't, Gene. I remember drunken idiot Sox fans shouting all sorts of vile stuff about Dave Winfield's mother at Old Comiskey back in the day. Winfield tuned those losers out and went about his business. Milton Bradley (and Gene Wojciechowski) could learn a lot from Dave Winfield. WEll. I disagree, I'd hope baseball fans stick to some decency, so we don't have some of the problems of racist heckling they have in europe.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 09:54 PM) Only a matter of time... well duh

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 19, 2009 -> 05:13 PM) Where did you get that? Unless you are talking about people in general, I admitted that the movie was revolutionary and great for its time. I just wasn't very into it. i was intending it at no poster here... although in the music thread there have been "you guys are elitists because you like bands i've never heard of and don't like my music!", etc. I wonder what the lag is on movies coming to Brazil. I know when my friend went to scotland last year they were still quoting anchorman.

eh... i'll take a 50 hr / 50 2b season from anyone.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 08:44 PM) Seneca Wallace is no slouch. No, he is one of the better backups, but even so, he is a good back up because he can run an offense that doesn't turn the ball over, but not run a high-powered offense. He's still a downgrade over hasselbeck. Seattle is a tough place to go in and get a win, but they have way too much to overcome. I'm excited for sunday.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 08:15 PM) Why do we suddenly think it's a great idea to take on all the chaff that is ruining the Cubs? I mean, it makes sense he'd want to come to us. Moving is a lot of work when you are a fat lazy ******.

oh, I think he's talking about 45,000 deaths a year from lack of health insurance vs. a couple hundred million that would die in nuclear holocaust... I'm good!!! (edit: I was writing this while he posted his response...i'm still awesome)

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 06:02 PM) I like black bourbon.

Okay, I do care. Bring him on this team. I'm sure he reads message boards, so if he comes on here, I will be a big apologist, and massage his ego. He'll hit like 200 hrs.

I've rooted for some real dbags in sox uniform before, I can do it again.

Eh, sure I don't care.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 05:39 PM) How do you define average though? Because the things that usually are a sign of a decent DT performance happened. Pitt couldn't run the ball and the D-Line got pressure on Ben, which is never easy with him because of how much he moves around. Those things could easily be happening in spite of Harris, but I'm not convinced yet. Yeah, that's the Hammerhead Johnson argument that I don't buy, because Harris was paid the money he was paid to not only stuff runs, but to get TFL and pressure on the QB the way he did his rookie and sophomore years. Against something awful of a guard he needs to do more. Ben had a lot of time and a nice pocket for a decent part of this game. ANd I say this because Roethlisberger is as good as he is because he somehow manages to get that offense to score points when he's on his back all game.

NY Post is a trash paper with golden head lines. I'm a fan. There was a hilarious this american life segment of a speech of a former Clinton staffer whose first, like, week on the job (i think he was a speech writer) they go to Russia, he gets too f*** up and misses the plane. Aww man I wish I could remember the name of that episode, it was hilarious.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 05:30 PM) Anyone else got an opinion on Harris from these first 2 games? I'd actually be curious to hear it. Usually with a quality DT, you don't always notice what they're doing because they're not the ones getting to the QB, you notice them when you see that the outside guys and LB's are getting to the QB because the DT is blowing up the center and you notice them in the stats when you see that the opponent's running game sucked. Well, here's what I'm saying. The Pitt Oline is VERY bad. And Especially at the guard T. Harris was matched up against, I expected domination. He was pretty much average yesterday, that is a very bad sign for me.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 04:08 PM) In the Sun Times game wrap up article they mentioned Alex Brown sprained his ankle, so not as bad as I imagined depends how bad the sprain is. He's our best dlineman...Harris is just trash now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 03:54 PM) Um, somehow I don't think that's the most apt metaphor. 45,000/year versus a couple hundred million in 5 minutes being the key difference. is that a metaphor?
