When we start paying teachers enough, we'll get the brightest. Until then, we'll settle for what we get.

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 10:04 AM) newbies... plural??? one guy asked who he is.... unless you were refering to me... cause I was born yesterday.... maybe sleepywhitesox really don't know nuke, and would like to find out who he is??? That's the way I took it.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) In the immortal words of Dr. Evil: Boo-frickity-Hoo. And what a crock by bringing his son..."Look at what you are doing to my family, my son (hey, look sad)." Crap on a stick. Steroids or not...that was bush league. Typical Barry.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 09:06 AM) Great, so now we've heard your opinion. I stand by mine. Regardless of your opinion, the remark is discriminatory. That, sir, is a fact.

.... as long as you don't use the word "God".

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 02:35 AM) I think he missed the green text. Of course he knows that Aaron is black as well. He was just "jumping" on the Barry Bonds conspiracy wagon with his boots on. I just wanted a S. Oh reference in this thread. I didn't miss the sarcasm. In fact, I probably shoul;d have used some green text too.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 09:24 AM) Yes, Illinois was guilty. Yes, Deon Thomas could have said nothing. But he was 17, and I don't know about you, but I didn't always do the right thing at 17. My point was, if the situation was reversed, and Collins taped a call, implicating Pearl, and the NCAA investigated, they (the NCAA) probably would have found things that Iowa did and put them on probation. The NCAA had to save face and gave the Illini a one year postseason ban and two years fewer scholarships. Illinois paid it's penalty (and I believe made a run to the title game of the Big Ten Championship in one of those years as a 10 or 11 seed), but that doesn't mean that Illinois should let it go. Bruce Pearl is a rat, plain and simple. And he definitely shouldn't be portraying himself as a martyr, as he is in some interviews now. And don't you tell me that an "aggressive recruiter" didn't offer cash, cars, women, whatever in the course of his time as an assistant or head coach. I guess I should have clarified things a bit. This is the part of the quote I was saying summed things up nicely .....

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 05:08 PM) They're racist and don't want a black man with the HR record Henry Aaron's not black? Or are you thinking of Sadahara Oh?

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) As a fellow Daily Herald employee, I read Imrem all the time. He usually has little insight to offer, and I'm generally unimpressed by his columns. This one on the other hand is right on the money. It's about time Buehrle gets some pub in this town, and it's nice that someone in the media had the balls to tell the truth: that Buehrle has accomplished much more than those who have been so overhyped on the northside. I read Imrem a lot as well, but I don't think he's the sharpest tack in the box either. But he did put things in a proper perspective for a change. Wood and Prior get all that hype and compared to Buerhle, they've accomplished little.

Another clueless, classless discriminitory remark.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 10:48 PM) About the rent structure. Do you know if it was always like that or was it renegotiated after the 1st phase of renovation? I remember reading something along those lines but it was so long ago I wouldn't know where to look. There's the ISFA site but I'm not sure if they would have the history listed. If memory serves me correctly, it's been like that since day 1.

It's good to know Contreras didn't look clueless today.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 10:59 AM) It's a secret... Damn.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 02:28 AM) The fact of the matter is Ill. got caught with other infractions from the investigation. They're not exactly innocent... And Dickie V's opinion is about as credible as... s***, I couldn't come up with anything. Actually, I think you summed it up quite nicely.

QUOTE(backman @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 09:32 PM) When was the last time these two played each other? Anyways, it good to start the season with a blowout! Wouldn't that be the playoff game in the snow a couple of years ago?

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) I'm SO confused. What's "contusion" mean, again? Contusion means Rowand is fine and don't worry about it.

QUOTE(Rooftop Shots @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 08:06 PM) Agreed! For those who disagree, remember that we once had Drysdale as our full time announcer. The guy was a great pitcher, but his excitability towards our home team white sox was like listening to a casket with arms and legs. Maybe Hawks sometimes has the extension lips out with certain praises, but his excitement when good things happen during a game are real. I used to love Drysdale as the guy in the booth. He didn't pull any puches at all. In fact, I kept wishing they'd take him out of the booth and make him the pitching coach. He'd get so pissed at pitchers that nibbled or wouldn't back someone off the plate. As for Hawk, listening to him talk about about the game is like sitting in a bar watching the game and talking with another Sox fan about it. Nothing wrong with that.

QUOTE(man hands @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 10:36 PM) Bull, You're an idiot! What do you want me to do, come up to you and ask for my birthday present! You're a dork. I'm like 36, it's no big thing anymore! See you tomorrow. Baj Hell Baj, Bull just saw an opportunity to call you an asshole and took advantage of it.

Happy Birthday!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 02:03 PM) Its been 2 weeks and a day since we found out initally, and it has already begun. All kidding aside, you'll never do anything that means as much or is as important to you. Being a father a is wonderful thing. Just be sure you have your priorities straight.

Scotty couldn't buy a coaching job before Pax hired him. I think they'll be a team as long as the team is progressing.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) Wait you mean that kids are work? Why didn't anyone tell me this before??? Life as you know it has ceased to exist.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) First I hear about Buerhle, now you remnind me that my kid's gonna be a TEENAGED GIRL someday waaaaay too soon.....you tryin' to KILL ME?????? Just enjoying every minute right now. Not thinking about that other stuff.... LMAO. Great, funny post!

Unlike most of you, I don't want the Sox to give up on Joe Borchard yet.

QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 01:29 PM) Didn't they run the same story last yr? Yes.
