Milkman delivers

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 10:47 PM) This right here is just downright laughable. Milkman and I have had a ton of disagreements in our times on this board but he's been here for at least 6 or 7 years now, that's through good seasons and bad, to call him a fair weather fan, especially when you've been here for a whole week is f***in ludicrous. I honestly didn't read this post until I already posted. Awesome, Rowand.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 09:58 PM) We won't miss a fare weather fan like yourself. Who is this "we"? Are you on the White Sox? I believe you asked somebody this exact question earlier today. And I've said repeatedly that I'd watch a terrible team rebuild. I hardly think that makes me a fair-weather fan. Good grammar, by the way. And I'm glad someone who joined the site 3 days ago can tell me I'm a fair-weather fan after I've followed this team religiously for years with the actual proof in my consistent posting.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) Jordan, even out of frustration, that's a pretty clear personal attack violation. That everyone agrees with.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 10:39 PM) I agree looking back the first month killed the teams chances. But it wasn't just Thornton, Sale also blew saves as well. Wow, that really hurt the Sox in 05 huh? Sorry, but I agree with his idea of game 3 instead of sweeps. You play .666 baseball all year you go to the playoffs 9/10 times.. Giants know all to well how that didn't work out for them. He'll be gone next year.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 06:05 PM) I really hope KW gets the boot. Peavy, Dunn, Rios. all s***ty signings. I've only read the first page, but it's fairly obvious that he's being sarcastic.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) And when the SOX fail to make the playoffs in 2012.. Who is going to be the scapegoat for Kenny's failures then? I don't even care, as long as Ozzie is gone and all of the apologists have to lose him.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 11:13 PM) "Marty34 will buy you a beer if you just come to a game." Haha, good one.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 10:35 PM) You do realize that's falling on deaf ears? Except now I quoted you, so Milk can actually see it now. You suck.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) Not really a cautionary tale. How about dead Ken Caminiti? Oh well, don't cheat. QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) JPN, I think it's really going to be fascinating to see former/active major leaguers possibly start dropping dead in their late 30s/early 40s due to steroid-related health issues (like wrestlers) Mark McGwire will be the Hulk Hogan, but yeah, we'll see a lot of them dropping like flies.

QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 01:07 AM) What teacher DIDN'T use that line? So lame Seriously. f*** you, can I piss?

Magic number thread?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) Chicago White Sox, If you don't like it, go piss on the statue and watch another team. Perfect. The sad part of it is that it REALLY seems to be the belief of the front office.

I was at the White House years ago, and it definitely didn't seem like a difficult target for someone willing to die.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 04:25 PM) Really ought to happen in October. Via trade.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 12:14 PM) Everyone clamouring for rebuilding and saying they would go to a ton of Sox games if the tickets were cheaper, your time is now. The games are meaningless, the younger players (even though most aren't that young) are playing, and tickets can be had on stubhub for $5. Step up to the plate. This isn't a rebuild, though. No games until Ozzie is gone. To go out and support them blindly this month might convince management to keep him. I will not purchase a single ticket until he's off the team. If given an extension, I won't even watch on TV.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 11:12 PM) Dunn didn't get the big pay day for hitting .037 against lefties.. did he? He got it for driving in Runs. Dunn is not in the situation if Rios, or Alexi gets hits earlier in the game. That wasn't the only time they had bases loaded and less than 2 outs. Ozzie doesn't need to show up Kenny.. Kenny's record is case enough for that. One of his smartest moves, was to start Dunn, who had success against Carmona, who is also struggling. I can't wait until Ozzie is gone to rub it in your face.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) I don't take offense at all, we have a difference of opinions. I fail to see any manager that can take this team and make it into a winner. You see to blame all the Organization issues on Ozzie. Where as I am safe to state, Ozzie has been the best manager the White Sox have had in 25+ years. Do you think all of the White Sox problems are going to get solved by just getting rid of Ozzie? Holy strawman, Batman. You really would get along with greg in that regard.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 10:32 AM) Whatever was truly important about this day got lost years ago. Agreed.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 01:54 AM) If it wasn't for April, this team would still be in the race. Have you ever considered this? It's a joke that anyone could NOT understand that.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) That elrockin=sunofgold. Ah, OK. I just have so many (accurate ) theories that I wasn't sure.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 01:48 AM) Rum nigt (5 guys split a handle of rum) is awlays a drunk night, then beer bongs after. But now a roommate who hooks up with chicks every night brought home a freshmen (we're seniors) and she was asking me when we were alone if he was a good guy and doesnt hook up with chicks, well i told her yes he is a good guy to wing him, but this is all he does. I feel so bad, shes so young and innocent and i just straight up lied to her for a friend who honestly is an asshole to girls (but surprise gets a ton). Don't feel too bad. This chick was willing to have a one-night stand before she even asked you, so she obviously isn't so innocent. And any girl that thinks a solid relationship will start under those circumstances is an idiot anyway.

Barely a 3-page game thread? Lol, wow.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 06:28 PM) Hmmmm. Might be something to Milk's theory. lol. Wait, which theory?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 01:08 PM) If you are going to stop and rationalize it, do it all of the way. "All-in" for the White Sox doesn't mean a $300,000,000 payroll with an all-star at every position. It means $125 million, with some holes in the team. The idea that it means something more than that is just silly. Taking a TV commercial and turning into the best team eva isn't reality either. I actually said at the beginning of the season, when everyone was eating the "all-in" crap up, that eventually when the team failed, people would rationalize it by saying that it was just an ad campaign and nothing else. Maybe you really believe it or maybe you don't, I dunno. I just find it funny.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 12:51 PM) It's statements like this that make detractors look ridiculous. Again, why are you so desperate to exaggerate? The dude CAN clearly steal bases. In fact, his SB/CS percentage since May 1st is exactly in line with his career rate. Unless you can prove that Ozzie automatically green-lighted him AND that he has had several count/situational missed opportunities, you cannot assume that the lack of offense/situations had SOMETHING to do with his lower totals. From a SB/CS perspective, Juan had an abysmal April. The rest is normal. Sorry you disagree; the numbers don't lie. You are the ultimate cherry picker. And yes, I exaggerated for effect. He can't steal like he used to anymore. Come up with whatever garbage you have to refute that, nobody but the usual loonies are going to believe you. I have to go catch a flight. You all have a good weekend.
