Milkman delivers

Nicely done, Middle Buffalo. Does anyone think this will have an effect on the immediate sales of White Sox merchandise and popularity of the team?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 08:51 AM) He definitely sucked with the Sox, but I really don't know how much of his demise was due to his family being stricken with that mystery disease. If that happened while he was on the Sox, it's hard to fault a guy for not being there completely on the mound. What was the name of that again?

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 08:28 AM) One thing he did was man up and admit he was sucking, didn't hide, didn't give some lame, I'll be a rich man sitting on a beach speech. I always respected him for that. I really liked Billy Koch, Billy Botch frustrated the f***ing hell out of me. Who said that again? Cabrera?

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 11:45 PM) Agreed on Hendo being his toughest comp. but maybe cans were a bit harsh. Just low-tier guys then. Hell, I still think he lost the fight against Hamill. Will he get better? Sure. He's in a good enough camp. But until he starts beating guys who are in the top 15 at 185...he's still UFC hype to me. I'm not a big fan of the UFC by any means, but I watch almost all of the PPV's now. I clearly remember the fight between Hamill and Bisping in England, I believe, and remember being completely sure the hometown decision went his way.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 09:14 AM) Crawl out of your hole and watch the damn Olympics! The Olympics suck, IMO. I love America as much as the next guy, but I couldn't care less if we're better than Macedonia at f**gy sports that nobody cares about except for two weeks every four years.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 08:31 AM) I dont know what cable package you have, but Encore has been running Life is Beautiful for the last month or so, I believe it is in the On Demand I don't think we have that, but I wouldn't watch it so soon either way. Like I said, there are hardly any movies that I would see repeatedly in such a short period of time.

I can't be the only one who didn't know who the f*** Shawn Johnson was before opening this thread?

QUOTE (mreye @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) It's called "The Honor Code", Milkman. Know it. Live it. Love it. Pfft, honor. That's for f*gs.

QUOTE (soxman352000 @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 11:22 PM) Does anyone know what the hell type of thing Southpaw is? Was that ever established? It is a mascot. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 03:48 AM) the eyes sold me...Fredbird didn't see it coming Ha.

PIN THIS THREAD! PIN THIS THREAD! PIN THIS THREAD!

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) Oh well. I would have been interested to hear your review after a second viewing. I have a queue of around 100 movies on Netflix. It may take a while...

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 11:54 AM) Someone on the ESPN piece last night did mention that there was a couple having sex right behind 3rd base. Maybe that was... Wow, that girl jumps into the top 10 of biggest whores I have ever heard of.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 04:12 PM) I actually said it about 2 months ago I was the FIRST person to say it!

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 01:55 PM) Nope, that backdoor area down there is Exit Only. And rather hairy, from what I've heard.

Why do people want Ian Snell? He has a 5.36 ERA.

This is one of those strange scenarios. I like Acta and don't necessarily think he's a bad manager, but those numbers are just atrocious and the manager has to be fired when a team is that bad. It obviously isn't his fault that the team put up such terrible numbers (not entirely, at least), and it was basically a no-win job for him in the first place. All in all, that franchise is f***ed.

I'm surprised nobody has agreed with my scenario.

This is great news. When they speculated that Wakefield would be the starter, I was so angry that I didn't even make a post about it because I would've went on a tirade. That guy doesn't even deserve to be in the game, let alone the starter.

QUOTE (SuperSteve @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 10:26 PM) WNBA championship. My logic, $5 bucks is lunch but a championship would make some people who I've never heard of really happy so good for them. About the Sox, would I give up ever winning the title for the $100k or would the Sox get to the WS and lose in a heartbreaking fashion because of me and we'd start fresh. Honest answer, give me the $100k. That was my initial thinking, and that's why I put so much thought into it. I felt guilty that I would take a small amount of money over something that would potentially fulfill the life's dream of some people, but given all of that, I'd still take the money.

I can't stand the people who constantly use their Facebook status to complain about how much their life sucks or how they hate their present situation. There's a girl in particular who is still in college, and throughout the entire school year the status was always "cannot stand the stress," "can't wait to be home for break," etc. Now it's the summer, and it's "so over this place" and "can't wait to go back to school." Shut the f*** up. Stop making your problems my problems. I hate complainers (and yes, I see the irony in this post).

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 12:11 AM) What? I couldn't hold Brent Lillibridge's jock strap on a MLB field. Does that mean he doesn't suck? Yes, because he didn't win a World Series.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 11:32 PM) Crede may not be the player he once was, and he wasn't great with us by any means. But the man played a huge role in the stretch and post season run in 2005 and I believe he deserves a bit more respect than just saying he sucks. When the Sox hold a reunion of the team in 2025, you young guys will be hitting your feet for Joe Crede because you will remember what he did and it's very possible that 2005 may be the only World Series victory you have ever experienced at that time. I was 47, almost 48, years old when I saw my first Sox WS Championship. I appreciate those guys. Each and every one of them. Crede, more than most. Joe Crede sucks. Timo Perez sucks. Willie Harris sucks. Cliff Politte sucks. Dustin Hermanson sucks. I appreciate what they all contributed to the team in 2005, and yes, I will cheer for them all at a reunion. But, the above sentences are statements of fact either way.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 10:52 PM) Joe Crede sucks, Gavin Floyd just doesn't know how to get him out. Anyways, great win tonight, although it shouldn't have been that difficult. This team is better built to win games up there, so hopefully we can put up a 4-5 or 5-4 record at the Metrodome here in it's final season. We have seen Crede suck for years. There is no excuse why he should ever see anything but sliders low and away on every pitch. On another note, and I don't want this to sound like a complaint because I've wanted to see the doubles and opposite field hits for years, but it really feels like we haven't hit many home runs in the past month.

Wear the Cubs hat until I sit down, then take it off. How the hell is he going to enforce it once you're there?
