QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 10, 2013 -> 07:09 AM) So I'm playing in my first league ever this year, my department is putting together a team and we're signing up for Buffalo Grove's "C" league. I'm curious to find out how good I'll be considering I haven't played much softball at all and haven't played baseball much since my senior season in HS (so about 5 years). That said, I'm stoked to be playing again plus I have a ton of upper management playing on the team to network with I was very close to playing on my friends team there this summer. It is a fun league, the park is very nice. I like how the scoreboards have the hour timers. Good luck and have fun!

First line in the Kotaku review of MLB 2K13

Creighton is a really good team. They need to get past the first two rounds though, they always seem to falter early in the tournament

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 9, 2013 -> 11:04 AM) He said he wants to win one more ring. Do the Yankees have five trades lined up?

First time in the cages this season. Felt gooooooooooood. Not gonna feel good tomorrow

QUOTE (MAX @ Mar 9, 2013 -> 01:20 PM) I don't understand how that can be understood to definitively be a racist comment. I mean, what ozzie said was pretty stupid, but those are just the thoughts of a single individual, who said a great number of stupid things through out his life and it is posted without comment. I found it funny. Thats all. I always found Ozzie to be funny, he just devolved in the manager department when he decided he was the star.

QUOTE (southside_hitman @ Mar 9, 2013 -> 12:55 PM) "Ozzie Guillen on Peavy vs. Pierzynski: "'I always say when two white guys fight, the foreigners stay away from that,' said Guillen, a native of Venezuela. ‘I just got my (citizenship) two years ago. I want to stay away from that.'" As I mentioned earlier, I do not want to engage you in any discussion here, and I won't, but it is interesting that you want to engage me. Sorry dude, you are on my permanent ignore list. First off, you come on to this website and are posting all of three months and less than 100 posts and have accused an admin and multiple other posters have being the same person and following you from another website. Second off, you have thrown around that others are trolling, again, only being here for a couple months and a handful of posts. Now, you accuse people(specifically me) of being racist. It is my job as an admin to ask what you feel is racist. I dont really see how my Ozzie Guillen quote portrays me as being racist towards hispanics, or any color for that matter. You and your tight tinfoil hat obviously decided that I am the person following you around from other websites, but I can assure you that I have no interest in "engaging" you for any other reason that discussing your opinions on the Sox, just like any other member on this site. Plus, I have been a member here for 8 years, and an admin for over 3. Seems like quite an epic troll job to be following you around for that long and also maintain a totally normal and sane personality on this site, dont you think? Multiple members of this site are friends with me on facebook, twitter, and even friends outside of the internet. Ask Steve, Jake, SS2K5, lostfan, knightni, or even the owner of this site Chisoxfn if i have any other name other than Kyle, since you seem to think my name is Bill. Most of them have seen my facebook page and have seen pictures of my 2(almost 3) children, wife, brother, father, etc. in short, you are 100 percent wrong about who you think I am. Put me on ignore, I dont give a s***. I suggest you take me off ignore to read this.

QUOTE (southside_hitman @ Mar 9, 2013 -> 11:03 AM) I noticed that there is a thread of intolerance shown towards people and players of color, black or brown, that runs through the threads and signature quotations some people have used here. There has been a lot of it against Ozzie, Kenny Williams and some of the current Latino players. That kind of things is really is intolerable, especially in a sport where it took until the mid- 1947 to even BEGIN a process of eliminating racial segregation and racial prejudice. As far as Alexei Ramirez, I am very impressed with his work ethic and that includes the work he put in with Viciedo training together in the of season. And, at least from what I have seen, he and Viciedo appear to have a good foundation in terms of their upbringing and their character. That not only makes them good people, but solid team players. I doubt you will see the kind of sleaze and criminality that Starlin Castro was involved with, allegedly date raping a young girl after dragging her home drunk to his f --- pad, and then grabbing the first plane out of the country the next morning. So yes, Alexei is a solid if not outstanding shortstop defensively, has occasional power, has been a clutch hitter, and is a very good teammate, especially to young players like Viciedo. He takes a big cut with one of the longer and heavier bats so he strikes out too much, but how many players can we say that about? Dunn, Flowers, Morel,... Point out the threads and signatures of intolerance based on race

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 9, 2013 -> 03:14 AM) WTF is with these threads lately. You would think it is july

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 11:16 PM) That would be talking out of both sides of my mouth. Par for the course

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 11:10 PM) You did find the time however to accuse me of "talking out of both sides of my mouth." Speaks volumes. That's because you did. Why don't you go ahead now and say "the sox will contend in 2013" in this thread so you can have your proof that you said it once.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 11:02 PM) Not during last season. Lol whatever Marty. I don't have time to sift through a year of your posts to find what we both know you said.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 10:58 PM) When you accuse someone of "talking out of both sides of their mouth" the least you could do is provide proof. Maybe you can edit one of my posts . . . Have you, multiple times in the past year, insisted that this team should be broken apart and rebuilt for contention down the line, usually 2015? And I would never bother to edit your posts, no room for any substance.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 10:39 PM) You were just making stuff up. Sure I am. And I am sure Hahn wants Ozzie coaching the Sox again too, right?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 10:31 PM) Proof of me "talking out of both sides of my mouth". Proof you didn't?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 10:20 PM) Proof? Of what? You insisting that we should trade alexei and Dayan and anyone else with a contract? Sure, none of us ever read that from you.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 09:42 PM) Last year I said they would contend for the division. You always say this, but you were talking out of both sides of your mouth. Saying "I think they will contend" simultaneously saying "I think we should trade everyone and build towards 2015" isn't believing the first statement.

Yea, it was a good run. Not a good performance by the D and Crawford tonite. Everyone looks slow

Rain postponement today?

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 11:06 AM) Yeah, I saw that, too. And then there's this: http://www.theheckler.com/2013/03/05/black...asketball-game/ Kaaaaaneeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr

QUOTE (oldsox @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 07:08 AM) Whenever I hear of Furcal, I recall his back injury, which sounds like it was very similar to Morel's, and that Furcal (like Todd Helton) had it surgically fixed and Brent chose not to, and now he is looking at being sent down or cut. If he had had the surgery, he would have likely been ready to go by now. Back surgery is never a sure thing for anyone. Plus, are you really going to use Rafael Furcal as a good example of someone who dealt with injuries and came out better for it? Furcal has spent a lot of time on a lot of disabled lists

Lol, time to wash out more of the lowery taste and get some of Hinsons kids in

I am imagining a commercial where Samardzija is in a straight jacket in a rubber room
