QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 04:58 PM) Anyone watching the deadline special on ESPNNews? Steve Phillips just said that the Sox added another lefty to a dominant left-handed lineup. Uh... what? And Kirkjian just called Nick "Massay". I didn't know masset was french.

john's tend to work out well for us.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 05:08 PM) I'm a fan of the White Sox. I want them to acquire good players. Griffey is no better than what was already here IMO. Its 2008 not 1996. I really am not a big Konerko fan, I just have been astounded by all the crap he gets from people who claim to be White Sox fans. If only we had the insight of Reds fans.

alright, I have a test at 230, I must go study. Text me soxtalk if something else big happens (e.g. we land biggio)

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 05:03 PM) pretty much bad news all around for the twins ... I just dont know why they wont give up any of those players for Beltre, if would help us I'll be very happy if 3 rolls around and beltre is in seattle. (or not minny)

This is why I love KW... if nothing other than we never know what is going to happen. It's at least exciting.

how about this.... we improve our team edit.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 04:59 PM) Konerko is 6 years younger and doesn't have the injury history. He's also in a little better condition. so yes then? The reds fans are right but sox fans are wrong on this? Griffey also doesn't have an arthritic hip and crippled confidence.

any chance we can get the big hurt?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 04:54 PM) Maybe KW should see if Rollie Fingers and Tom Seaver feel like pitching. They were pretty good once. What's funny is about the same percentage of Reds fans feel the exact same way about Griffey as the majority of the board feels about Konerko. and so the sox fans are incorrect about konerko but then the reds fans are correct about Griffey?

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 04:49 PM) or or ... the things the Kid will learn from CQ!!! haha but yeah im pretty excited with this move, I have always wanted him on the sox, maybe a bit later then wanted but w/e hes here touche.

Huge News, somewhat similar scandal http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/...contempt_of.php After months of making the HJC obsolete, they finally get some teeth.

The things CQ will learn from the Kid!!!

I can't stop laughing. This is awesome. I've never been so happy at deadline.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 04:37 PM) One could argue, on another team Massett and Richar could be insignifcant minor leaguers on other teams. haha, true. Listen, everyone. This team needed one of the two great players from the 90's like we had in 05 in the dugout. half green.

LOL, okay, logically this wasn't a very good deal for us... but as a baseball fan, I'm smiling and laughing and I think this is awesome.

WaPo piece on the convoluted nature of McCain's campaign.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:37 PM) I think there is a better distribution systen in place to get weed into a 18 year old hands then a beer. this is true, don't you think legalizing it would actually change that though?

kudos to the pitchfork for reminding me about Diplo and Santogold mixtape. I downloaded it before those black days where my computer crashed. This mixtape is awesome, some of my favorite dubstep songs made it on there and he found so many gems. Diplo continues to hold my attention.

great win sox!

so many times when we go into a series we've predicted on this board what games we'll win. Usually we are wrong everytime. So glad gavin picked us up, good job offense.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 12:15 AM) And how many people only doing it because it is 'cool' or 'anti-establishment' will stop? Short term you may have an increase in users, but I think that long term you won't see much of a difference. I agree with this, I think there is a stigma attached to marijuana smoking much like cigarettes, to where people my age would support legalizing it, but it still wouldn't be considered a nonchalant act like drinking is in college.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:17 AM) Great Video: that's a little somber, can someone put a techno beat on that?
