Hideaway Lights

Let's just use the Sex, Lies and Politics forum as a trade forum.

we need a separate forum for my stupid topics

I think it's funny to read this stuff, that's all. You can't spell parochial without boston, after all.

Read this: http://www.sportsline.com/messages/thread/...119985163-yaasa

What do the Cubs and possums have in common? They both play dead at home and get killed on the road (actually an adapted NFL joke, but it works for any team in any sport)

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) It's gotten to 38 pages; which is apparent that people are still successfully having conversation in there. Large threads have worked well on SoxTalk. Sure, it works well for the few that have followed all 38 pages, but for anyone wanting to jump in and talk about something, there's gonna be a) admonishment that what's being brought up was discussed at length on page 14 and again on page 25. As the thread gets bigger, the innermost pages are going to be all but totally inaccessable. b ) a good hour+ of trying to read hundreds of posts about any given trade possibility anyone can dream up just to find out what's been discussed already about Randa.

I told you the trade thread would be totally unruly when you started it. The only reason I posted my suggestion of a separate forum in bold is because it was totally ignored on page 2 of that thread. I seriously think it's the best solution.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 10:21 AM) Get your own message board and find out. I'm on other forums that add 'em all the time. I guess it's just not worth the effort in your opinion.

Separate. Trade. Forum. how hard is it

I don't understand why anyone thinks we should look to acquire relief before starting pitching or even shoring up 3b. With Politte => Cotts => Hermanson as the front line, and Marte backing up, I think we are just fine in that department. Even Shingo looks like he still has a future in our pen. EDIT: I'm not saying Marte is anywhere near where I want him, but he CAN be.

I'm glad we are being really patient with Duque. Even if we were to SOMEHOW blow some of this division lead (by the Twins getting hot or by us slumping badly), I think it's a given that this team is going to win 90+ and make the playoffs. Sorry, folks, I'm just not pessimistic about that, no matter how tough our August is. I'd rather throw BMac into the fire five times against these mediocre-to-bad teams like the Ordonez-less Tigers, Rays, and A's and see what he's made of. Maybe he needs a few starts to work some things out at this level, and then who knows....maybe he'll emerge THIS year. We have the luxury of being able to play with some things mid-season and see what works....let's use that to our advantage. Also, we absolutely NEED Duque in October. We don't necessarily need him right now. We just reeled off an eight gamer with him on the DL. Let's get him plenty of rest and use him when we need him...in mid August and down the stretch.

for example, there was a difference of 500 people between yesterday's figure and friday's figure. The memorial day game vs. the Angels and the opener against Cleveland also had different figures...

Guys, I think it's Timo time.

oh man crede

man, we are first and thirding them to oblivion

the best nickname I've heard for Corey is K-Patt

oh lordy this feels good.

I love having Pablo and Scottie batting back to back

why not a separate trade forum instead?

Just sayin', that's all. Carry on.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 11:18 AM) Better one thread, than the whole front page of Pale Hose Talk. This is for the greater good. Two pages on Schmidt, then three pages on Randa, then nine pages on Chavez, then one page on Schmidt rehashing everything said on previous Schmidt pages, then three pages on Randa rehashing everything said on previous pages about Randa, then three pages of people b****ing about reading the entire thread. Repeat ad nauseam.

this thread is going to get way too unruly to sift through after about three days.

I just heard on the radio that Ozuna is starting at short today I like it

I guess this is the last time I try to take 20 minutes, actually do the research to back up my f***ing argument, and come back with something that you guys aren't willing to deal with anyway.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) Me too. This guy is crazy, and not worth arguing with. Yes. Everything I've said in this thread is simply beyond logic. :rolly :rolly :rolly
