That was quick!

A good poster knows how to spell Sox player's names correctly.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 01:55 PM) What could possibly be the reason for putting a black man's head over a Lebanese woman's head? Perhaps some intern at the Times tried sneaking one past the editors and it worked.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 01:55 PM) yea, same at my school. i think thats fairly standard. How lame though. I would remember going to school on valentines morning, hoping I'd get a valentines from the girl I had a crush on. Where's the fun if everyone gives one to you?

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 01:38 PM) At my school everyone had to get valentines when I was in second grade. If you gave em out, everyone had to get them. And that was like 1982. Ha. You just dated yourself. Now I know we're the same age. Unless you were held back several years in first grade.

I didn't like the one mom's rationale in the article. She claims that her 1st grader plays with a different friend every other day so might as well invite everyone to the birthday party. It might just seem like that for her from afar. I distinctly remember playing with only certian kids when I was that age. I probably would have been annoyed if my mom invited the entire class to my birthday.

Saw this on CNN.com and found it interesting. I've included some excerpts. The full story is here --> LINK

That's pretty funny.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) My question: What freaking Sox fans gives or sells their tickets to Yankees fans in that location? Lots of people sell tickets via stubhub, ebay, etc. You don't get to choose who buys them.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 12:09 PM) Yeah, back in aught-three, some Yankee fans were proddin' us the whole game, so's me and some of the guys followed 'em through Bridgeport, lured 'em into an alley, beat 'em to death with a lead pipe and a poorly fashioned cane, and stuffed the jerks down a sewer pipe. Those were the good old days. LMAO....I almost spit out my coffee.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 10:55 AM) Dusty's the opposite of Ozzie when it comes to criticizing players. I meant as far as playing the younger players. Dusty has been notorious for always sticking with the veteran. Obviously that's not the case this year with him due to injuries and what not. Anyone with 2 eyes can see that Brian is 1000 times better in CF than Rob. The starting rotation looks unbelievably fatigued and we have a young, lively arm waiting in the wings that's being underutilized. Just seems like a waste of talent.

Ozzie's diss of McCarthy and unwillingness to put him into the rotation almost feels Dusty-like. Especially when you factor in the constant days off for Brian. Why is Ozzie so averse to using his young stars?

Ozzie needs to shut his yap and stick to what he does best, sending out awful defensive lineups and observing his starting pitchers unsuccessfully attempt to get out of late inning jams.

Who needs Desperate Housewives when you have this?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:40 AM) Jon is 8-0 with a 3.39 era in his last 9 starts. He's the only starter I have condifence in right now. Here's to a CG shutout

Huge win. We really needed this one.

Singleton: Here's the throw to the plate...an 18 hopper.

I love Jermaine Dye.

JD must come through. I have little faith in Sandy.

Bunt

Lets do it Jim!! Gapper please!
