McCourt screwed up bad. There is all kinds of paper trails leading to him and his soon to be ex-wife using the dodgers as their personal ATM. MLB is already having their way with this, which is obvious by FOX backing out of the TV deal.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Ugh, why does Captain America look like a midget in those trailers You mean before he has the treatment done?

I never looked at Chavo seriously, ever. He was Eddies cousin, then he was deceased Eddies cousin, then he was the Santino character that actually could wrestle a little bit, and then he was just a jobber who could put someone over. He never had a piece of his character that jumped out at me at all. There was never an angle that he did or a promo that he cut that made me want to watch his match. It sucks for him because he does have talent, but really he doesnt have the charisma that makes a WWE superstar pop with the crowd.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 03:26 PM) Oh come on, when in doubt, cite religion. lol, i know. the way people use it to further agendas and hide from reality is one of the main reasons my relationship with god is in my heart and not in a church. it is just sickening to me

personally i think there would be a stronger reaction to two men kissing in public than there was to these two women. citing religion as a reason to tell them to stop was truly a horrible decision by this guard

there was also a day off in the middle. Basically, the throwing session day is supposed to be the first starter out, however that works

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) Heard he requested it. http://rajah.com/base/node/23355

It would be nice to get the home record over .500. They have to start winning home games and series

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 11:19 AM) And my guess is the only reason Edwin didnt offer was that he started the night before and it was completely out of the question. I am pretty sure in situations such as this, the guy who pitched 2 days(3 days in the Sox 6 man rotation) prior is the first one out, because it is supposed to be their scheduled throwing day. That is why Humber was warming up the day before when the bullpen ran out of arms, and why peavy came out yesterday

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 09:33 AM) I don't think caulfield said the Nazi storyline is a minor component in CA. he said it was only a small part of X-men First Class - basically Erik Lensherr/Magneto's Nazi concentration camp origin story. I interpreted "The added twist of the nazis" and "Were more of a subplot of the Xmen" to mean that it was strange to see the Nazis in a Captain America feature

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 11:50 PM) First off, isn't Indy retractable? So they could leave it open if the weather is not awful. They do it to give the players the best possible opportunity to play well, and not have the game partially/mainly decided by a s*** show of weather. There's a reason they put all the important bowl games/nc in good weather. Have you ever seen the roof retract when the Colts play?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) I know its a small sample size, but the White Sox are 4-1 in games Pierre doesn't leadoff. BTW, there is no one that cares more about what people say about them than Ozzie Guillen. 100% agreed

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) I like the Company Men a lot. In some ways, telling the story in that way, versus, for example, THE INSIDE JOB, was more interesting. Going to see an Indonesian horror movie called "The Empty Chair" today. Has anyone else seen The Tree of Life? Most of the critics loved it, my best friend hated it (and he's a huge Malick fan) and my personal opinion is somewhere in the middle. Looks like Green Lantern has already lost its legs at the box office, no surprise. What was more suprising is that it only made $16 million outside of the US. With a $300 million budget, it will be lucky to get to $175- 200 million worldwide. So much for that tentpole. Thor and X-Men also have had disappointing results, although many love X-Men. It will be interesting with Captain America, another "period comic" but with the added twist of fighting the Nazis. The Nazis were more of a small subplot in X-Men. I'm sure there will be some comparisons made between C.A. and Inglorious Basterds/Saving Private Ryan and the already-forgotten Sucker Punch. Bad Teacher, despite being blasted by most critics, is looking to end around $32 million and is breathing life into the new "female-dominated" comedy genre that started with Bridesmaids (although some would count Knocked Up as the first). The highlighted part is just wrong. The character of Captain America was created in the 40's during WWII and throughout the early years he fought Nazis. It is Captain Americas history, the story looks like it is being told true to form. And It is laughable to think Captain America will be compared to Sucker Punch. Heck, I doubt Inglorious Basterds and Saving Private Ryan are going to be compared to it either. This is from the original writer Joe Simon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_america

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 07:52 PM) Morel can easily be replaced. He's not a good fit for a team that needs offense. On that I think we can all agree. no i really dont agree with that at all. his defense cannot be easily replaced by anyone in this organization without having equally bad offense. omar has been a nice little plug here and there, but i dont want to see him starting at third again, and teahen is still at .200 and plays horrid defense at third. morel has excelled at every level he has been at after a slow start, im not ready to can him in his rookie year with offense being the excuse when players like rios, beckham, dunn, and pierre are being run out there every day as well.

CSNChi_Beatnik Bruney may not be DFAd after all; whispers in the clubhouse are that Pena's last appearance for Charlotte was cut short, with pain.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 07:53 PM) Didn't he get a standing O after coming out for a pinch runner? More bad news for the Twins: Young getting carted off the field. what happened to young?

yeeee haw

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 09:54 AM) Doesn't f***in' mean the motherf***ing thread itself has to be f***in' swear-free. f***in A

This thread title is sadly swear-free

have the sox already used harrell?

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 06:00 PM) Ok first of all tone it down, don' t get all agitated. I agree with what you said about the 1000 post over and over I hate it too. And NO I don't have to mention any names, they all know who they are and there actions reflect that. And about taking my act elsewhere... Well I haven't done anything wrong, just called a ball a ball and a strike a strike, for the best interest of the board. And yes I do feel that 90% of posters got it in for Jordan cause questioned Jason, why are they on him? Yes for the simple fact I said in my post. And about going elsewhere I've been here longer than you've been a mod and always followed The rules, even when I had my personal problem and logged on in bad shape, I always followed the rules just make that clear, even think haven't agreed with everybody. Thanks The only part of my reply directed at you was the first few sentences. There is no sense in saying people "know who they are" and then not wanting to name names. If you have something to say, say it. The rest of my reply was directed to everyone reading. Im not telling anyone to leave the site. We dont want to ban/suspend people, we MODERATE, we dont police. If you want policing, go to WSI. The people that get booted from this site usually have quite a history behind them, and even then it is not a flippant decision. That being said, if someone really wants to push it, then they can go elsewhere.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) Look I'm sorry for saying this but it's true, who ever wants to take action then go ahead it only tells me I'm speaking the truth even more and that the truth hurts. I think Only ONE mod should set the rules, I've been here 8 years and I've always seen Jason as the top mod/board founder so that's who sould have the final word, why? Cause we have some mods that are over there heads and they know it, another thing is I've noticed a lot of suck ups here, agreeing with everything any mod says and the thing is a lit of those suckups are the first to start trouble then hide there tail between there legs. I think it's of no regular poster to say and measure what's right and wrong just rile up another poster, that's ganging up in my eyes, ohh I'm in good with a mod I'll rile you up and if you get mad at me, I'll tell my mod friend, ain't happening so stup sucking up to mods, you all know who you are. That's my honest opinion, like it or not. I come here cause I love baseball and love my sox and maybe a lot of this is just because a lot of people have passion for what they love and that's a good thing, it would be a shame to put a limit on passion cause he or her don't like it. I understand there's rules and I'm cool with that, but one thing is rules and one thing is being overboard and on power trips. Again I agree with rules, like fighting of racial slurs and such things, and it's cool for good discussion, but there had to be some fun, with it's limits but some fun, now a lot postersaybe even won't say anything fearful of being banned and that's the real shame, and actually I think 1 or 2 mods are enough. Sorry if anyone is hurt or offended, didn't mean to be like that just speaking from the heart. Jason feel free to PM me if you don't comfortable with this post You know what, Im just going to come out and say it here, If you believe that there is a mod/admin that is catering to anyone you just go ahead and name him. If you feel like there is a mod or admin that is over his head, you can name that person too. We work as a team, we discuss everything that happens on this site, as much as people want to believe that there are rogue mods/admins that flex their muscles when people arent looking, that simply is not the case. This entire discussion went exactly the route I thought it would, towards censorship. This is not censorship. This is asking people to think about what they are adding to the site. If your post is the 1000th post that mentions the same "Juan Pierre/Adam Dunn/Ozzie Guillen/Greg Walker sucks" sentiment, and on top of that is a NEW THREAD, then maybe it isnt needed. If you think that we are asking too much of you to not repeat yourself that many times in that many different threads, then yes, take your act elsewhere. Naturally this thread turned into "The Soxtalk against J4L", People are acting like we issued J4L a death sentence. J4L is a longtime poster who is a valued member of this site when he feels like it. When he doesnt feel like it, he creates threads like "KW got bent over in the Hudson trade". This is no secret, that thread was garbage and it was created with nothing in mind but to b**** about the Hudson trade. We had an entire superthread about the Hudson trade. Dig it up and start that up again if it is so important to you to b**** about the Hudson trade again. But I have nothing personal against J4L, I actually like him a lot and enjoy reading some of his thoughts, and like everyone else he is extremely frustrated with this team and how they have played for the first three months. But like everyone else, this is not a dumping ground for his extreme hyperbole, not mine or anyone elses. This isnt a call for no negativity. This isnt a call for NO hyperbole. This is an attempt to get people to clean up the s*** that we all have to see every day. Plenty of posters in this very thread have stated that they want no part of PHT anymore because of it all. Not just J4L's posts. Everyone's posts. You dont have to be all rainbows and unicorns and glitter, this team is not going to inspire many positive thoughts at the moment. Just be constructive in what you say, dont just throw in something like "Juan Pierre needs to just go away and die" when he grounds out, no matter how you mean it. There is no rulebook on how to post, so stop asking for it. Use your common sense

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 04:07 PM) It wasnt brought up by a caller, though he feels Konerko's performance at this age is suspicious He's the same caller that calls in and bashes the Sox under different names and locations, he's pathetic really Any avid score listeners should know who I'm talking about He was "Jim" today, I've heard him claim to be "Benjamin" before also I know who you are talking about, I have heard him too. He always claims "I think this team is awful and isnt getting any better and nobody else sees it"
