QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) That's for mega slumps, this is only a small slump. It's not realy worthy. agreed, the banner got us out of small slumps last year. But ,if its a win or die situation, we have the rally crede in his cage. Hopefully we won't need to let him out.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 11:43 PM) I know you guys may not like it, but we could team up with WSI to start a campaign,,,,, Prettty please?

just changed my sig a little. we need to spread the word around. QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 11:21 PM) I just felt this thread needed to be pinned. The guy deserves all the reocgnition and more. we should pin a "get jermaine dye in the allstar game" thread . and leave it up there until voting ends Just saying.. if we could get pods in, Im sure we could get dye in if White Sox nation gave an effort. IUt would be our first positional starter in almost a decade.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 04:21 PM) The sox peanuts taste much better. Can we have a sep Cubsession section of the board so Henry and Cuck can post there. I get the feeling Henry has never written that check. or a catch all thread at the very least.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 03:54 PM) I know what you are saying. But it's like I said in one of these wacky threads today.. it's like a Frank praise thread. It's started with the topic. "Good Job Big Hurt" and within 8 minutes there are 42 posts (sic) "Eff that baby... big skirt... whiner...etc, etc..." I don't see any cheap comments. There is a serious stereotype that Sox fans are obsessed with the Cubs... and Henry fits that to a "T". It's not a shot... it's a fact. Besides.. no need to worry about Henry. He's been getting his balls busted about this stuff for years. it's not that we are obsessed with the cubs. The fans who live in or around the city are tired of being force fed cubs. Thats why they have such a huge fan base, the people who gave in to the force feedings from wgn, the tribune and the rest of the media. I understand all the regulars view on this situation, as it is a very tough one. You guys do not want soxtalk to be labled as a site that worries about the cubs more than the sox. I know that the hardest put down a sox fan can ever hear is, "you hate the cubs more than you love the sox". But the first thread was all fact based. I seen nothing wrong with it. If it were a thread titled "the cubs suck" for stupid reasons, then we have problems. QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) So Henry can complain.. but people can't complain about Henry complaining...??? stop complaining, about me complaining ,about you guys complaining about henry.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) because we've seen these threads time and time again? It gets old, especially when it really doesn't have anything to do with our team. It's people looking for something to complain about. The two concrete examples will always be attendance and media coverage. It's a message board. Why can't people complain? That's life. So what do you do when someone complains in real life? Do you get scared and run away because you can't lock a thread in a real life situation? Threads on a message board are like little rooms in a big house. You can decide what room to go in any time you wish, if you would rather not be a part of the complain room, you can go and run to the game thread room, it's your choice. Their are plenty of rooms for all of us. As long as their are members from soxtalk posting in a thread, I think it is thread worthy. We don't need people who disagree with it to tell us. Threads die if they are not worthy. I just don't understand why threads get put down or locked so often here. To simplify my point, I do not want this place to turn into wsi. Their was a reason why I fell in love with soxtalk and not wsi. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) What does this thread have to do with debate at all? Its whining about media coverage, has nothing to do with the team, or the workings of the team. Its about someone complaining about something. as long as the words "white sox" appear. It has everything to do with the team.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 03:48 PM) Here we go again.... :rolly Who the hell is bashing him? It's called conversation. A debate. A disagreement. He's pointing out his side, and others are pointing out their side. Want know what I'm sick of.. the pot stirring. all Im saying is... if someone does not like a thread topic.. move on. That's all. We are all sox fans. We have different views of the team, how the team gets treated by the media ect. Nothing wrong with a good debate, but a debate is not when it is 10-1 with 5 people debating and the other 5 posting agreements our cheap comments. QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 03:50 PM) Usually a select few that our overly-aggressive and like to be confrontational because they think they know it all and aren't very open to differing, valid opinions...But that's what makes it entertaining. It's entertaining for a while, I'm sure we are on the same page. But after a while, you kinda feel bad for the soxtalk minorities

after reading the first page of this thread... I dont get why all the regulars have to team up and bash a guy making a point. I see this treatment more often than not. No one is going to have the same views all the time . I am tired of reading threads that have THE Regualrs vs The others. It's getting old and making my soxtalk experience less enjoyable. As long as the guy is not trolling, why have a 10-1 battle? If someone wants to talk about the media bias, so what? He has the facts and this is more than thread worthy for the fans who would like to talk about it.

What I get from that site is... a bunch of cub fans trying to convince us sox fans our announcer is bad. I feel sorry for the few posters here that fell for the bait. I would never side with a cub fan. Especially when it is against our sox and anything to do with our sox.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 31, 2006 -> 11:20 PM) Why do you know that?! your obsession with cuck the fubs is worse than his with the cubs

QUOTE(DannyCooksey @ May 31, 2006 -> 10:23 PM) that never occured to me, but it could be a Freudian slip from Hawk. He has shown Crede an inordinate amount of man-love this season. You are not a white sox fan. So why do you give a s***? I am a white sox fan, I love hawk. Always will. I luvvvv when espn uses his lines. QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 31, 2006 -> 09:38 PM) Actually Ozzie was pretty awesome at hitting splitters. I think Hawk got DJ and Wimpy confused, as Wimpy led the 1983 White Sox in hitting. I get on Hawk from time to time, but he is entertaining to me and I am happy we have him instead of the broadcast school product you see so often these days.

sorry Kalapse. All I can say is when a person lives a long life of 94 years, it should not really be a time of mourning, but rather a celebration of life. Your grandmother must have been an amazing woman to live that long. Keep the memories strong.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 29, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Thats not cool. At all. you set yourself up on that one.

KIAA Kalapse is an asshole

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 28, 2006 -> 10:41 PM) Because I have had imageshack take a s*** on me many times. Thats not the only thing that has taken a s*** on you many times.

Big Jim!

I definately recommend Vonage for anyone who has not tried it yet. I have had it almost 2 years and love it. My Bill is about 25 bucks a month and it is unlimited local and unlimited long distance.

vonage along with my cell

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 27, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) Someone might want to double check this but I'm pretty sure the Blue Jays have a better team batting average than the Cubs obp. as of the completion of yesterdays games. They are tied at .301

What a joke

Happy Bday Big frank!

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 27, 2006 -> 07:40 AM) How are the indians btw? I only say that he should get them becaught knight has gotten about 1500000000000 points because of '' recruiting'' from soxtalk. I haven't finished worse than 1st since you left.

To one of soxtalks greatest posters and the best Hitter in white sox history.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2006 -> 12:17 AM) Angels Pen: Shields - .99 ERA K-Rod - 3.98 Carrasco - 4.00 Gregg - 4.30 Donnelly - 4.35 Yan - 6.85 Romero - 8.31 Bulger - 16.20 Wow, that's pretty sick. Relief pitching is incredibly inconsistent from year to year unless your name is Shields or a few other guys. They lose Shields, their bullpen falls to one of the worst in the AL. Also one start does not a good pitcher make. Just because Garland had a good start in the ALCS does not mean the Angels will destroy their pen to pick up a career 105 ERA+ (average is 100) starting pitcher. point taken, they are usually up there with the elite pens. Those numbers are staggering.
