QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 04:02 AM) Holy s***... seriously??? WOW. I don't think I could respect my manager after that ever again if I was a player under him. I can't believe this was so long ago already, either. lmao, please go read ANY article from the Onion, then come back and edit your post.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 12:04 PM) I don't know about that... Hey, we are talking about the funniest man on Soxtalk here. Dont doubt it

But can you group Cabrera in with Floyd and Danks as a pitcher feeling his way through the league on his first shot? Cabrera has been around a few years now, this isnt his rookie year. he has experienced some success, and some failure. Floyd and Danks were both pretty new to the ML experience and have had some setbacks in their time in the major league club as well. Would you rather trust a pitcher who has amazing stuff but is having problems with consistency, or would you rather trust a pitcher who is coming off of a pretty major shoulder operation who may or may not return to what he once was?

The worst part is that it looks like that kid isnt drinking for the first time. No bitter beer face, nothing. Just a big drink

aaaaaaaaaand thats a wrap!

I still have a major crush on Mandy Moore. And looking at her recent taste in men, I think I would have a good shot

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 08:00 AM) So only about an hour for s*** talking to start. That's longer than I would've expected. this thread isnt long for the 'buster, lol

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 02:02 AM) well yeah, but statistically speaking, I have a shot at going out with Erin Andrews. statistically speaking I think you have a better shot of going out with Erin Andrews than the Orioles do at leapfrogging the Rays, Yankees and BoSox. statistically speaking, of course

I heard excerpts of the second half of the Favre interview on the way to work today. Favre burned that bridge to the ground, and p*ssed on the ashes.

going to the 9 PM show in Elgin on Friday night for Dark Knight. Im super pumped, I dont get to go to a lot of movies anymore.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 09:48 PM) Carlos with the number 10 webgem of the first half. I didnt see it, was it the play where he threw out a runner at first after a catch in left? I dont remember which team he did that against, but it was awesome

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 01:53 AM) No. We're talking about Konerko here. Uribe is not Konerko. As far as my kids' comment ... me and my 10 year old are at the Cell. Paulie pops up, "Boo! Boo!" I yell. "Daddy ... isn't that Paulie you are booing? The guy who made us so happy when we won the World Series? The guy who's hit all those career home runs for us?" "Yep, son, he is a bum. He stinks in '08 so daddy is going to boo him." No, we are talking about you making excuses for Konerko because of his place in White Sox lore, and absolving him from criticism because of it, and in the same sentence saying that Uribe has no place in White Sox lore because he sucks. Uribe strikes out at a head high fastball "Boo! Boo!" I yell "Daddy, isnt that Uribe you are booing? The guy who made us so happy when we won the world series when he dove into the stands to make an out, and when he made the final out of game 4 in the world series? The guy who carried a .400 average for 2 months in 2004? The guy who is on the World Series memorial outside the park?" "Yes son, you see, he is hitting below .200 right now. Thats really unacceptable. The Major Leagues have standards that players are held to, and sometimes when they fail to live up to those standards, I will boo them. Im not saying you have to, but if you feel the need to, Im not going to tell you that you are wrong."

Was Jenks DL stint retroactive, or is he going to have to wait a few games to rejoin the team?

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 05:24 PM) Pettitte has been contrite and as far as is publicly known only juiced to get better from injuries. That, more than what Barry Bonds did -- taking everything to double your size and strength -- is going to gain all sorts of leniency over time. And frankly, it's understandable that someone might try to recover a little quicker with the juice, especially for ballplayers who won't want to be hypocrites. So he says, he also said he got them from his father. And Clemens said he never took them. But Kirk Radomski is now coming out with reciepts that show he gave HGH to McNamee for both Clemens and Petitte. And Bonds still insists he only took flaxseed oil. So who should we believe? Maybe Pettitte didnt want to grow stronger, he just wanted to increase his stamina over the year. Who knows why he took them, maybe he was just an athlete trying to gain a competitive edge. Im not going to take his public apology at complete face value and discount the fact that he took HGH because he said he did it just for a little while and realized it was bad. He knew it was bad from the get go.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) I am the chat equivalent of Alexei Ramirez? hey now, lets walk before we run

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 05:40 PM) I do not personally condone booing Paulie, but if it happened it would be neither unprecedented nor shocking. Players get booed all the time and it doesn't usually happen for no reason, we just happen to have a longer grace period than somewhere like New York. Nowhere in anything I have posted did I say I was going to, or have booed Konerko. I just am trying to figure out how anyone is considered a jackass who has no PERSPECTIVE and doesnt understand tradition just because they boo Konerko for being unproductive. Alex Rodriguez gets booed all the time and he puts up MVP numbers every season. Nobody is immune.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 04:08 PM) I stand by my statement. Any true White Sox fan that boos Paulie is a jackass. He is somebody with no clue about PERSPECTIVE. I'd love to hear some more takes on this. I will never change my mind about this one. Be a tough guy and boo Paulie; by doing so you have proven you know nothing about White Sox tradition. Tell me about this no-booing tradition. I would love to learn about this PERSPECTIVE. At what point does any player, regardless of performance, become a player who is not allowed to be booed.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 03:48 PM) I don't know if they kick people out when they grab balls that are close to them. This was in the outfield nowhere near the outfielder's glove. The guy simply dove out of the way as the ball kicked up high. Had he grabbed it, I seriously doubt he'd have been ejected. If you interfere with a ball in play, you are automatically ejected from any park in the major leagues. If the ball ends up being a ground rule double because you reached into the field to grab a ball, no matter if it is near a glove or not, it is interference.

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 12:26 PM) I noticed it too. That was great. He is a true fan of the game. I have seen a few fans over the years throw their arms out trying to block people from reaching but not often enough. eh, maybe he just didnt feel like being the jack*ss who got ejected from the allstar game for interference

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 10:37 PM) wii speak would be great. it's so frustrating to play friends on mario kart wii and never be able to talk trash. i'm interested with this motion plus thing. i never really noticed that the original remotes were all that bad. Me neither. In fact, I was really surprised at the response while playing Mariokart. Im wondering why Wii Music was listed under Negaton. All the reviews I was reading had good things to say about it (88 instruments available, using the balance board as drums, etc) I want to see some of the new games coming up in the next couple of days

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 08:58 AM) yeah ... that wasn't pretty at all. Poor guy had a tough night on the national stage. I felt bad for him, he was playing on a sprained ankle. Im sure his lateral movement was killing him while fielding

Im not clicking that, you are probably trying to rickroll me
