White Sox Josh

im probably overreacting a bit. It just pisses me off so much to see this kind of crap going on though. They get paid a lot of money and this crap happens. It would be a dream come true for me if i were able to play in the MLB. I think they should treat it like that.

Im not saying playoffs. Im just saying for the rest of the regular season. In the playoffs he can back.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) Pff....you've never hesitated to display any displeasure with Marte and the first time he shows up late you think he should be gone? You have no idea what the deal was. For all you know someone slashed his tires. So if your mancrush Avant showed up late to a Michigan game he should be gone for the season? GMAFB yeah. I would.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) Josh, if it was anyone else than Marte who showed up late, would you still start a thread? you bet i would. I think it is really important to set a tone in the clubhouse.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 07:01 PM) Didn't Iguchi show up late once, too? that was an excused personal reason.

if they don't suspend him for the rest of the season it sends the wrong message. Bobby Jenks was late for personal reasons. I think you have to discipline him severley and give the guys in that clubhouse the message that you are behind him 100%. Also they should get the message that if you ever leave early or show up late you will be disciplined. Plus if i were a teamate of his i would be furious with Marte.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) That s***'ll rob you of your ambitions. Not if your ambition is to get high and watch T.V. AK-47. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherf***er in the room, accept no substitutes.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 12:10 AM) Both fans and ''critics'' responded pretty damn well to jackie brown so i don't know what you are talking about. you know who was nominated for an Academy Award in that movie. Robert Forster and deservedly so. I think that movie got great reviews.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) Pulp Fiction ws the s*** but Jackie Brown was better. favorite line from Jackie Brown? I love that movie.

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) The Bears QB for the future.... is healing from a broken ankle. For a rookie, Orton did ok... i still saw some happy feet in the pocket from time to time, but he definitely has an NFL arm. Rex is still the most talented QB on the roster, and I say that because I really really like him - although its still prolly true. I have a feeling your gonna see number 8 on the field again this year, from week 12-17 maybe less. i hope not. Orton is your future. You can't hand the job to Rex. Rex hasn't done s*** yet in the NFL. Orton will be the next bears QB. I loved what i saw from him in college and i think he will be a steal at the 4th round.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) I just remember walking into 2nd period history class as an 8th grader, when our teacher said something along the lines of "Oh my God." We watched it the entire period, and I was just frozen in complete shock. I also recall another man who was for some reason in the class saying something along the lines of "It's gonna fall...all that fire will melt the metal, and it will just collapse." Pretty much one of the scariest things I've ever witnessed. IIRC, the White Sox were also in New York at the time...I believe I read an article somewhere about how some of the Sox players witnessed it happen, and I also believe I've heard that they were going to visit it that day. i believe Buehrle did witness it happen.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 10:35 PM) You want to create a terrible clubhouse atmosphere? Have Frank's salary determined by how often Ozzie puts him in the lineup. Considering that Frank can no longer be trusted to stay healthy from one game to the next, you're just asking for turmoil with that type of deal. BTW, I do like the creative approach though. I wouldn't mind taking a chance or two on a contract in the next few years to try and get a superstar here. But I think Big Hurt has matured. I think he wants to win a championship. i don't think it is all about money. Besides even if he wouldn't get all of the $12 Million he would still get some great dough if he met only some of these bonuses.

I was going to the nurse on one of those "I feel sick, i might throw up" bs so i could get out of class. I saw a girl that i knew and was friends with crying and her mom was their. she mentioned something about virginia and that's all i heard. During ninth period i found out about the attacks.

Give him a Matt Morris type contract: Here is what you do. You negotiate a contract and than buy him out for $3.5 Million. He than signs the contract that you negotiated and here would be how it would look: Base Contract: $3.5 Million with a team option for $8 Million or a $500,000 Buy Out. Bonuses: 350 At Bats- $1 Million 10 Home Runs- $500,000 15 Home Runs- $500,000 450 Total Plate Apperances- $1 Million 30 Home Runs- $3 Million 100 RBI's- $2 Million 90 games- $500,000 110 games- $500,000 He could earn a total of $12 Million next year if he reaches all these bonuses.

Either UNC or Florida State. I've always liked their Uni's since i was a youngn.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) I want to hear a little more in-depth review about Benson and Gage..... What made them look so good? i want to see more but i think he could brake out this season. He has the skills. He made a nice catch. I probably meant to say Bradley. Also for a guy who missed all of camp Benson looked pretty good. They might be able to throw him in there more often.

I think the bears will be fine this season and their were a ton of positive things from todays loss. Here are a few of them: -Kyle Orton looked terrific. He was on fire in the 2nd half. -Benson looked pretty good. -Muhamad was great -Gage was very good -That defense was dynamite If they can keep from making stupid mistakes like 3 false starts in a row than they can win this division.

If Ozzie really did this he is my hero and Marte will be gone next year.

This says it all. Michigan had 1st & Goal twice in the 4th Quarter and didn't score either time. :puke :puke

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 12:27 AM) Oh the irony of your avatar. im gonna puke now just thinking about that joke of a game michigan played.

While i hope the Sox win and i get upset if they play poorly them not doing well is nothing compared to what these people are going through. My god. It must be terrible. Whatever we can do to help them without actually going out their (talking about people on this board) than we need to do it. Donate money, donate supplies, whatever it takes. I think we have realized how small baseball actually is in the world.

Mine is either Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown. I loved Jackie Brown and I still think it is one of DiNero's best roles.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 11:38 PM) Redskins = 4. Bears = 3. Not sure whether it says how good their defenses are (they are both very good) or how bad their offenses are.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) Let me guess, you're going to pick the Bears every week or get so discouraged by their play that you will predict they get smoked. no i just think that the Redskins have offensive problems. Orton will surprise all of you guys. Trust me on this. This guy is the real deal. he has the attitude that if something goes wrong he just forgets about it and doesn't carry it with him for the next possesion.

Didn't he say the exact same thing in 03 when we were like ten games under .500.
