QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 12:08 PM) I know all about "financial constraints" and "working within a budget", etc. I get it. But when the Sox try to tell it's fans that "we are doing everything possible to put a winner on the South Side.", what they're doing is pissing on our heads, and trying to convince us that it's raining. My oldest son will be driving within two years; should I tell him that I'm going to buy him the best car possible, then get him a jalopy, and then try to convince him that its the best, or should I tell him I'll get him the best car that I can afford? At no point did the Sox say they are going to go buy a ferrari, if that is the metaphor you are going to use. If you tell your son you are going to buy him the most expensive car on the market, and buy him a jalopy, then yes you should have to explain your difference in promise and reality. The problem here is at no point did the Sox promise to buy a ferrari, yet that is what you expect them to do.

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 11:46 AM) Then you can't honestly say that the Sox are doing everything they can to give the fans another championship. Maybe they're doing all that they are willing to do, but not all that they can do. SMH. You just dont get it.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 11:29 AM) where can I find said buttons? Jason is pretty honest when he tells you to stop. If you dont, then you are normally done.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 11:26 AM) Whatever happened to RZZZA? Did he get banned or something? Not banned, but via pushing site owner buttons he got time off.

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 10:54 AM) Question: Were there players available vis free agency this off season who's acquisition(s) woul've improved the team's chances for success? Followup question: Are these players affordable according the the actual(not your percieved) financial model? Because the answer to the first question is "of course". The answer to the second question is a resounding "NO"

This isnt the first time Thibs has made a point by benching a starter in crunch time and letting the bench win or lose the game. I remember a few years ago he had the entire starting 5 benched after the 2nd quarter in a home game and refused to put them back in because of how pissed he was at their effort. The home crowd was pretty pissed when the bench mob made it close and he wouldnt sub the starters in(including Rose)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 09:13 AM) I'm not sure how... How exactly are you getting more people to go to games out of this? I think you are getting more people to spend at Cubs owned properties(the restaurant, hotel, vendors outside the stadium).

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 09:38 AM) Dude...I just gave "props" to the Sox for making a positive move to improve the team...quit your damn b****ing and moaning already. Just for the record, if there was a player "out there" who's acquisition could guarantee the Sox another WS Championship, I wouldn't care if they paid him $50 million/season. I just want the Sox to win; they can suck for the next 5 seasons, but I want to see another championship. You would complain every day for the next 5 seasons that they suck, of this i have no doubt.

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 09:26 AM) That would be THOSE in the Sox' front office! No, that would be THOSE people on this site who constantly argue with you when you complain about what other teams are doing and what the Sox arent doing.

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 09:21 AM) Some of you guys atoo hung up on what the Sox might be paying him...Who the f cares?!? re The Sox (obviously) wouldn't have signed him if he was "cost prohibitive". The "bottom line" will always be the bottom line. I think it was a solid baseball move...congrats Mr. Hahn. Now go out and get us a back up catcher (George Kottaras?) and a left handed hitting infielder (Matt Carpenter?), and lets declaw the f--king Tigers! The people who understand how to construct a roster with financial restraints, they care.

Does anyone thing Pollard is going to be a little light in the paycheck after the helmet to helmet hit on Ridley? My buddy was arguing with me that it was incidental. I was actually surprised they didnt call it on the field, they had already called a few personal fouls on hitting an unprotected reciever.

Ridley going out cold was sickening

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 06:39 AM) So they REALLY want us to despise Frank on SHAMELESS. Yikes. He has been a special kind of asshole this season. Debs beating him with the sack of soap was awesome Does anyone know why Kev has a broken leg? Is it something real that was written in? Because I cannot remember anything happening to him last season.

Matty choke

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jan 20, 2013 -> 03:17 PM) Are you not allowed to look on your phone during a football game? I wouldn't be checking soxtalk while at the NFC championship game, but that is just me

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jan 20, 2013 -> 02:47 PM) SOXOBAMA, you alright dude? He said he was going to the game

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 20, 2013 -> 06:42 AM) Noah was awful when he played. Whether it was a bad matchup or not showing up, I'm not sure. Noah started the game like 5/5 with 3 dunks.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) I hate Nate Robinson. I H8 N8

Good game at the UC

So, these Kane and Toews commercials were obviously designed to come out when The Dark Knight Rises was still in theatres.....

I admit I was wrong about the Bulls ability to win with some of the crap on this roster. What I underestimated was Thibs, and I will never do that again.

Manti Te'os girlfriend. maybe. Not sure.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 10:32 AM) Agreed but we shouldn't be asked to stop talking about this story. HUSH YOUR MOUF! No, we shouldnt stop talking. If you dont like the discussion do not participate

One thing I am gonna say right now is the insults have to stop. Whether you believe or doubt Te'o, nobody needs to be insulted over it.
