QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) No Orton I am very suprised! time to buy into that whole re-broken clavicle thing, eh?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 10:56 AM) With the Batman franchise, I don't scoff at anything. They marketed the hell outta that thing almost two years prior. agreed, there was tons of viral marketing. Thats a well made fan poster

I just dont see how a Catch-All thread is a downfall of this site. It doesnt detract from the amount of posted threads IMO, there is still plenty to sift through. To me, specific threads are like the newspaper, and the catch-all is like sports talk at the bar with buddies ("hey did you hear what happened to so-and-so?"). They each serve a purpose. Maybe something should be done to curb the amount of posts in the catch-all (maybe a 25 page limit before the catch-all is dated and archived), but I definitely think that it serves a good purpose. As this site has grown, it has obviously matured. Some of that is driven by the people who have grown up and moved on to a different time in their lives, some of it is driven by the image that this site reflects on the rest of the Internet. There is always other sites that people can move on to if they dont appreciate what ST has to offer, some people swear by WSI, and thats fine by me. Im here because I enjoy the banter and the people on the site, when I feel that has changed, I might not post as much, but I will always read.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 07:12 AM) I think we won a few series there in the last couple of years. I know its the first time they won consecutive games there since 2000. Honestly the only time I can remember the Sox coming close to taking a series was in 2005 when they had that crazy series where a bunch of people were ejected and Dye ended up playing shortstop.

I havent had problems with comcast, but I know people that have had many problems so I know what you are saying. I think the problem for you is that they are your only option because your mom doesnt want a dish, and AT&T isnt available where you are. My neighbor has WOW cable, but honestly I go nuts watching TV at his house, the interface is a total mess. To me it looks like you either suck up your pride and get comcast or go for the lesser service

Happy Birthday NUKE, hopefully many happily said naughty words come out of your mouth

Quentin looks like he is taking his game up a notch. the closer the Twins have gotten to the Sox, the more Quentin mashes. The guy is simply unreal this year. TCQ

This week in White Sox Retribution brought to you by Dick Allen's unwavering support Seriously, everyone who Dick defended earlier this year are making a good portion of us look dumb and impatient(myself included). Konerko seems to have found his stroke, Uribe is an amazing asset at third, the team looks like they are finally rebounding from a slow start out of the gate after the All Star game. 2 out of 3 aint bad, but it is kind of disappointing considering they could have swept. Time to do to the Mariners what the Twins did to them.

nice double entendre. there are other ways to get people to look at your threads without insinuating other things Tex

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 03:10 PM) It isn't based off of one friend. This is based off my experiences around him and friends who have been around him as well. I'll drop it though. There's no convincing Bears fans that Urlacher is nothing but a stand up, awesome, fun guy. Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Maybe Im not buying that he is a big douche because you have friends(plural) who have had experiences with him and your own experience which you havent even talked about? Maybe Im just saying that he likes to be a private guy who has had his private life put on blast by the Suntimes, which would make any nice guy an ass to say the least. Maybe im saying i dont know the guy personally, so im not going to judge him based on some 2nd hand accounts that arent even close to be substantiated.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 06:49 PM) Hey kyyle, you're gonna get this right? (PNSFW) I am now. Im really surprised that Nintendo is making a title like that, they usually shy away from heavy violence games with a lot of blood. QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 01:12 PM) i got myself a wii yesterday, i'm pretty excited about mlb power pro's Hopefully the second wii version is a little harder than the first(the PS2 port). Its a fun game, but I thought it was ridiculously easy. I had everyone on my roster with 30+ homeruns after may, and 3 players with 40+ homeruns.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 05:43 PM) Danks truly is an ace in the making! He is getting out of jams and that is key of becoming a successful pitcher in this league. Alittle more offense would have been nice but a win is a win. Lets take tommororw and hope to get some help from the Mariners... A little more execution with runners on base is more like it. Just like always, the Sox have such a hard time getting runs across the plate in Oakland even when they get a lot of hits

Leo Mazzone's creepy laugh is driving me nuts. I dont think his partner is too fond of him either

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 12:43 AM) Ben Gordon says he's played his last game for the Bulls. I say good riddance, curse some other team with jacking up 20 random shots a game. I like how he says that he suffered the most after the Big Ben trade because the Bulls picked up guards and Gordons minutes were reduced, but fails to acknowledge that he was one of the reasons that trade needed to be made(ie. lack of production)

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 08:54 AM) I liked them, too. I thought they were pretty solid wrestlers. On the TNA thing, that was a bush league move by TNA showing him in some desperate attempt to make themselves seem more legitimate by f***ing over some mid-carder. At the same time, WTF was he thinking being at that taping anyways

I think we should give up now, and forfeit everything from this point forward.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 08:35 AM) Those guys really never got a chance. They had a nice build-up to their entrance to the WWE with all the promos, but then they never did a damn thing with them. I always thought the crazy skinnier guy who wasnt shaved bald looked like the old WCW wrestler Crowbar. I agree they never got a fair shake, after a lot of work to put them out there. I think a problem WWE has with a lot of wrestlers and tag teams is that they create these stories for them and paint themselves into a corner in regards to expanding the storyline or characters. Once the story has run its course, there really isnt that much to do with the character/team so they let them fade into nothing. I cant see those two guys wanting to be the Scots pretending to be William Wallace-era warriors forever, it just wears thin. Who were they going to have a promo with? Cade and Murdoch? Maybe. London and Kendrick were just blah, even though they were fun to watch. They could have possibly done something with an english team(Burchill and Regal?), but WWE fans probably wouldnt even pick up on what the storyline was. Hopefully they can repackage themselves and come back sometime. I actually enjoyed watching them wrestle. How many times has Stevie Richards been let go by WWE? edit: I never read the story about Robbie going to the TNA tapings the week before Wrestlemania and being seen on camera, and losing his $5000 wrestlemania paycheck. What a dumbass

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 08:17 PM) I'm fully aware of what the theme of this thread is, thank you. My point is why in the hell would someone dislike such a player? I can understand disliking someone who is an ass, or a good player on a rival team, but not a role player who has far exceeded his given talent level to stick around the Major Leagues and someone that handles himself with class. Just trying to understand the reasoning. In the spirit of full disclosure, I have known Jamey since he was 14 and consider him a strong acquaintance. I'm not close enough to have been invited to his wedding, but close enough to give him a call every year or two just to check in, or to catch dinner with him after a game if I get to a city where he is playing and he doesn't have a bunch of family in town. Maybe because he gets to the Sox everytime they play against a team he is on? I dont hate Grady Sizemore the person, but I hate Grady Sizemore the player vs the Sox because he lays the wood down everytime he plays.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 06:12 PM) Something about the term Cop from Georgia doesnt leave me with a good image.Those small town southern cops can get away with anything. Im not talking about getting away with anything. Either it is a Bigfoot, or its a hoax. If its a hoax, why embarrass yourself like that? its one thing to show the neighborhood kids, its a completely different story getting CNN.com updates

The thing I dont get if(and it probably is) it is a hoax is the reasoning behind it. They may be "good ole boys" from Georgia, but one of them is a cop, Im sure he understands that perpetrating a hoax like this wouldnt be very good for your image.

I guess we will see what happens when scientists really see the evidence. These guys are being awful secretive about the location of the body and the spot where they found it, I want people to really see what this is. Unfortunately, the face on it looks a lot like the gorilla halloween masks, So im not really buying it.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Aug 6, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) Yeah, I can see why one would hate him. I mean he is simply a guy who has played at a higher level than the talent he has and made the major leagues after laboring in the Minors for years, when no one gave him a chance to even get to the Show. The only reason he got called up was a September injury to Andres Galarraga after being told by the Nationals they didn't have the budget to call him up. Yeah over achieving, quality teammates really suck! If you havent noticed, the theme of the thread is who do YOU dislike. Not who SHOULD you dislike. Its an opinion, there are plenty of them in this thread. In fact, there are a lot of pretty good players, teammates, and teams mentioned in this thread. I dislike Johnny Damon(especially bearded Jesus Damon), Jason Giambi, Johan Santana(for all of those years he just held the Sox under his thumb), James Posey, Jason Kidd, Terrell Owens, Bill Belichek, Jon Gruden, Al Davis

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 09:15 AM) I want Casey Blake. He can hit well in the clutch, plays very good D and seems like a good clubhouse guy. I would rather no see Fields and his shotty D and I think he has been messed up mentally since last year (not sure how but I think it has happened). If the Sox are too be consistent next season offensively, we can't have .220 hitters in the lineup. Casey Blake plays very good defense? News to me

The only term I would attach to the Sox with certainty is streaky. They can be good, really good at times. And other times they can be bad, really bad. But they arent a bad team
