Milkman delivers

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 07:26 AM) They wouldn't release him. No one would sign him for the rest of the season anyways, and the rosters expand soon enough as it is. It should be done as a statement.

I'm not even happy with this move. It just shows me that they don't even have the balls to flat-out cut his ass off of the team.

QUOTE (SockMe @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 10:25 PM) Detroit has a very tough stretch in Mid to late september. something like: 2 series against Minny, 2 against us, 1 at Cleveland I think that will make or break the Tigers. That doesn't sound all that tough to me.

QUOTE (VAfan @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) One problem the Sox have is lack of accountability for terrible play. The BEST message the Sox could send this team would be to cut Jose Contreras tomorrow. Ozzie should also have some extended benching of anyone who is not hitting, including Dye and Konerko if necessary. And for players to make errors? They should ride the bench the next day. I'd also like to see Quentin back in the #3 hole in the lineup, ahead of Thome. Sox need a serious shake up. I really think we have the talent to compete. But we've got to cut the mistakes and dial up the intensity. Or we're going to get steamrolled. Ohhhh, I could not agree more.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) Lance Cade wasn't really all that good, IMO and didn't he get released because of wellness failures? London and Kendrick were one of the best tag teams they have had in the past 10 years, which may not be saying much. Cade and Murdoch were one of the better tag teams of the recent past, too.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:05 PM) nice to see Buehrle and Ozzie laughing it up. I guess when you're paid millions it doesn't hurt to suck. I turned this off a while ago. Tell me that isn't happening.

Cutting Contreras would serve two purposes. It would prevent him from ever pitching another game for this team, plus there's a decent chance it would send a message to the rest of the pieces of crap.

I only started this thread as a joke in response to what BigSqwert said in another thread. Somehow I knew it would have wheels.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:51 PM) He is a throwback sox player from the early part of this century. He is a bonified pull monkey. Anyone that throws him an inside pitch should be benched immediately. Just keep feeding him crap off the zone. You throw one fastball down the middle for strike one because he doesnt swing at strike one, and you are set. Still though, I think he should start over Getz.

Revisit.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:32 PM) We need to start showing some support for Jose. As long as we keep perpuating this myth that he can't perform, we are going to get this result. He just needs a confidence boost. I hope that next time he pitches at the Cell....he gets a standing ovation when heading to the mound to start the game. If we can restore his faith, we are more likely to get a guy who pitches like Lamar Hoyt....rather than one who pitches like Jose DeLeon I can only assume you're joking. If Jose Contreras is not designated for assignment and he starts another game for the White Sox, I suggest that nobody even show up to the park. Boycott the game, and I'm being as serious as possible.

I swear to f***ing Christ Almighty, this guy better be f***ing cut immediately. Cut him immediately. I don't even give a s*** what he did for us in 2005 anymore...it's no reason to keep him around now. Get off this f***ing team.

I want to shoot myself in the f***ing head. Then I wouldn't have to watch this walking embarrassment anymore. CUT THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF s*** BEFORE THE GAME EVEN ENDS.

You're a joke, Jose. The most painful pitcher to watch.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) I'm surprised, because I would think you would like him since he uses a lot more mat-wrestling techniques. IMO, he's probably the 3 best wrestlers not signed to TNA or WWE. If you have time check out any of the matches he had with Homicide in 06 or his matches with Takeshi Morishima Not another Mankind/Dude Love/Cactus Jack thing, I assume.

I wish.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 04:02 PM) He had some good solo songs. If by "some" you mean It Don't Come Easy (which was reportedly written by George Harrison), then you're right.

In or out? Either way, BigSqwert will need a new computer.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 12:56 PM) Huh? I'm not sure if this answers your question, but I've always just wanted to see a blue duck.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 03:43 PM) I watched for 5 minutes and turned it off during the DX match after about 12 times the announcers becoming advertisers / video game announcers. How dull and boring. You seem like a nice guy and all, but why the hell do you keep posting in this thread when all you're doing is s***ting on the product and mentioning that you don't watch anymore?

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 10:00 AM) 'The Goods; Live Hard, Sell Hard' was pretty funny. I'm not a huge Piven fan, it must have gotten me in the right mood cuz I lol a few times. I actually heard it wasn't that good, and this was from people I fully expected to love it. QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 11:14 AM) Future cult classic — at least among aquatic scientists. It will definitely have a cult following. I've only seen it once, and I didn't even make it all the way through because I thought it sucked that much. I've heard from a few people that it gets better each time, so I may have to go back and give it another shot. It's definitely got some hardcore fans.

We make it easier by just saying that we're half Irish, a quarter German, and a quarter Italian. It's actually a little more diluted than that with some random other European nationalities in there. My last name comes from the German side of the family, but it actually sounds French and likely is.

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:46 AM) i don't think this stretch breaks the sox (at least the first 10 games of it) primarily because detroit is playing some good competition as well. while we're at boston they are at the angels. while we're in new york they're hosting the rays. they host the indians while we are at the twins which is not good. my guess is we come out of this 10-game stretch in a pretty similar place, standings-wise. probably between 1.5 and 3.5 out. Hm, I wasn't aware of that. This definitely changes things, and it sure makes it seem a lot brighter.

QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 02:00 AM) It was actually Ted DiBiase's brother who ran in.. and you could have had me fooled, I thought it was not scripted at all They didnt even show the replay or mentioned that it happened, pretty good work had me fooled.. And god damn, the Undertaker thing was badass.. I didnt even notice it was him at first, was a very nice way to bring him back for sure. How did they do it?

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:03 AM) It seems like it. I was up there for new student orientation over the summer. She is rooming with a friend from HS and they were assigned a corner, which they really wanted. I've heard mixed reviews about the food, but complaining about dorm food is always in style. I got pretty lucky. My school ended up having pretty good cafeteria food.
