I think I did the split analysis of Garland who was coming up in 2000 (had 5 pitches and threw in mid-90s and used his height to intimidate hitter) and the one from earlier this season (1-pitch pitcher with a mediocre fatsball, who is constrantly falling behind major league hitters and is pretty much indimidated himself). I stand by my theory that the real Jon-Jon has been kidnapped somewhere along the line. See, I concede, when franchise prospects/saviors are concerned, I am more of a "9 innings, 2 hits, 15 K's"-type pefrormance fan than the 6-6-5 one. Call me quaint or whatever.

duh i been sayin that since we got him........... Good for you, honey bunny.

How deep...dem ammoral liberal folks...they evil. Hey, man, if I was a bit harsh on you...tough luck, go talk to my parents, it's their fault, they live in the same city, afterall.....my mom will be all-too-happy to hear how she done f***ed me up with her complete devotion for 20 years and strict-but-fair upbringing...shame on her.

Thanks for overstating and oversimplifying what I said...I'll go ahead and ignore the rest of your IMO presumptious post.

You can call anything anything...doesn't necessarily make it so. And why stop at 18? Why not protract adolescence to 25, 30? Afterall many 30yo live with their parents.... Just because you can blame an unsuspecting parent doesnt automatically make that parent responsible...at least no more or less "responsible" than they should be for the kind of gas their "child" chooses to fill up his/her car with, etc.....Unless those parents were aware of their "kids"' intentions that day and chose not to act, lay off. Plain and simple...check that, it's far from being "simple", nothing is in this world....but knee-jerk, self-righteous parent-bashing will lead you nowhere.

Hahahaha...are you for real, dawg? These are not "kids", these are 17-18yo adults and are regarded as such in most countries. I know in this society infantilization of adults is very popular, but bear with me, how about raising expectations of "kids" and giving hard working parents a break for a change? The high-minded "family values" talk is just that--rhetoric, gum-flapping if you will. Welcome to the real world. I did a lot of stupid s*** myself (almost as mean spirited as that hazing) and parents were never much of a problem because as much as they can love you and can try to "discipline" you, they are basically helpless past a certain age. Every one of those f***ed up senior b****es knew what was "wrong" and what was "right".....but they went ahead anyway. Maybe their acne medicine interacted with Cheerleader's Bulimia and beer in a certain way... and done f***ed up the testasterone/estrogen balance or something, triggering the rage outburst...Who cares....ugliest sight of all is female jocks running amock. If they get expelled from universities, I won't shed a tear.

Duh...I could have told you that last year

Go shorty...

! Agreed. He has to be seen...getting 'Totally Bill Hicks" from eMule is a start You also gotta remember that although he wasn't exactly mainstream (taking shots at religion in the heart of Bible Belt in the 80's and talking about teenage girls' private parts and beastiality, running over LA riotees and dropping babies from airplanes along many other things wasn't exactly easy back then or even now...) and had died at only 32, he was rocking the mike down south since he was about 14. Sam Kinisson didn't have Bill's brains, fearlessness or performative flair; he pretty much sold out to the "workin' man"-misogynist demographic, he was ok I guess. Dice was utter s*** so he doesn't matter, and Leary as good as his No Cure For Cancer is, "borrowed" a lot of ideas from Hicks, as did both Dennis Miller and Bill Maher. s*** even Chris Rock's routine is replete with Hicks influences, though to be fair Rock is a great stand up comedien in his own right. I would say he is a cross between Eddie Izzard and George Carlin. "Now, not all drugs are good...some are great."

for reals, yo...my apologies.

LOL...overeacting much? "Crush" was gentle ribbing pn my part, much lighter than anything you routinely dish out...Maybe I should have used annoyingly redundant tag...As for the part in bold...crazytalk. It's funny that you mention "love fest"....pot, kettle, ya know? I'll just chalk it up to insobriety...PMS...whatever ..nighty night.

Silly you...never let pesky facts get in the way of a girlie crush. No worries...time will tell all.

that is all.

know if the following ESPN people post on Soxnet: -idseer -Bridgeport-Joe -Boog_Alou -kmack -whitesoxfan6199 -espnjohn1 -Lake_Shore_Drive -smirnoffkid Thanks.

I bet she does...though it's kinda hard to be heard from the funny farm...no offense.

How f***ing condescending of you

Yes...but it will have nothing to do with their "talent"...and everything to do with cost-cutting, politics, etc....Thanks for being disingenuous in any case...unless you truly do believe that Miles at his best is half the player Jimenez is at his injured/apathetic worst....knowing that you can judge talent I know it's not the latter...or is it? Very funny....No range, no arm (Jimenez beats him in either department...easily), gets caught stealing almost as much as he steals, little ML-projected power........poor man's Graffanino.....at best. Nice try, cutie pie.

By golly...who knew Borchard wasn't gonna be a 40-120 guy at the majors by now? Afterall, isn't every 14th pick, converted QB destined for greatness? I am beginning to think he is to Sox fans what Prior is to Cub fans.....minus the HOF talent, health...and plagued by football nostalgia to boot. I really hope I am wrong and Joebo comes up soon and makes us forget Choi, Dunn, Burrell and other precocious McGwire wannabe's.......but with our luck, it won't happen

You know what they say...once you go black...something-something.

HSC, the fact that you can put Popeye, a career minor leauger who can't walk, run or play defense (you think DJ and his 3 errors are bad? lol), in the same sentence as a legitimate 5-tool talent Olivo even half-jokingly is mind-boggling, really. Personal preferences shmeferances...Crede-Val-Jimenez-Konerko-Olivo is the future of this team, wtih improved Graffy coming off the bench. Abre los ojos!

bump-bump

This thread is more popular then Heathers and is attracting a lot of lurkers. Let it live.

That would be ignorant-bordering-on-offensive...if it weren't for the simple fact that you have no power over anything and nobody would ask for your opinoin when talking about ramming it up a guy's butt.

My respect for you just went up a notch or two...You go, boy!

Heresy...Burn her! Burn the anti-sex wench!
