QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 09:24 AM) The only thing that would make me quit watching games all together is if they announced the team was moving. Other than that I figure bad baseball is better than just about anything else on TV in general. But what if they traded Paulie, Alexei, and Sale for a package of Bartolo Colon, Derek Jeter, and Jorge Posada!

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 09:22 AM) ummm... he already is

Sox trading Viciedo for Dan Uggla.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 09:10 AM) Dude you know you're my boy but you do this all the time. False equivalencies. Show me a thread I started in the buster where I go balls out, s***ting on all things conservative, and painting with a broad brush.

What an awesome thread. Lots of great discussion here. Kudos Flysox!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) It was a failure on the part of KW and the White Sox to project him at 3B from the time of his signing. This has little or nothing to do with his current ability to be a DH or a corner outfielder. Cabrera was a complete disaster defensively at 3B too, but the Marlins needed his bat too much to send him back down, even at age 19 or 20. Whereas the White Sox don't need his offense, apparently, as they're just fine without him. Or so some would have you believe. This is so mind-numbingly stupid on the part of our management. I am appalled that someone hasn't been fired yet.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 08:49 AM) You're not going to change that opinion by whining and trying to get me banned. I'm not trying to change your opinion. You came in here guns blazing spewing your hatred. I'm just calling a spade when I see one.

How the hell does this guy get away with the hyperbolic bile in this forum? I thought there were some rules established here. All Dems are unpatriotic unAmericans. All public workers are lazy bums. These are facts now. SMH

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 08:40 AM) I have family that works for the government. None of them are lazy. They all go to work everyday and work hard. None of them are idiots either. QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) Do you go to work with them? I'm sure the families of the CIF people I despise think they are solid workers. Yeah do you even work with them GoSox05? They are definitely worthless lazy bums. There is no question that they are.

We should have a military dictatorship in this country.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 08:23 AM) Such as when Dems label entire groups of people "racist teabaggers" (without any proof whatsoever), or when they assume any black conservative is a dolt who doesn't know what's best for him? Sure, BigSqwert, just stay convinced that your beloved democrats are such tolerant little angels. You seem like a very angry person. Perhaps a spa vacation could do you wonders.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 08:21 AM) Passion? Are you kidding me? I refuse to believe you've ever met a person who has worked for the government. Seriously...passion for their jobs? Wow. And BigSqwert, you can whine all you want, but I'd be surprised if you ever met a government worker yourself. And even if either of you have met a decent public employee in your lives, it doesn't change the fact that the private sector is far more effective. Hard to refute those hard facts. I concede.

Happy Birthday!!!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 07:22 AM) Really? Starting a thread with that title? I guess that's to be expected Not very cool for someone to piss in your cheerios on your birthday.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 07:05 AM) Today's the USA Today print edition, with Nightengale's name on the byline.

....and other off the wall things that would drive you nuts. Name something that would cause you to stop watching the rest of 2011. The Greg Walker thing is my first salvo in this ridiculous thread. What do you have?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) That's a whole nother debate right there. I know plenty of idiots in private business and plenty of very competent and great workers in the public sector. Let's not get carried away and say that everyone who goes into the public sector is a dumbass/lazy worker. Believe it or not but some people have a passion for their jobs in the government. Oh come one. You can't tell him to stop labeling whole swaths of people with a broad brush. That's his entire schtick.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 10:24 PM) Could Doug Davis even shut us down? He already did.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) I still can't believe we can't beat Felipe Paulino at home. My god. Why is that? Haven't you watched this team this year? There isn't a pitcher alive that couldn't shut down our offense. Steve Stone could pitch a 4 hitter against this offense. /hyperbole

Hopefully Greg Walker gets a long term extension soon.

But it was a damn good post

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) I voted a ton of times for Podsednik and AJ when they were on the final ballots, but I don't think I'll vote even once for Konerko. It's nothing against PK, I just don't give a s*** about this game and whether or not he goes. The whole ASG annoys me, from the voting to every team needing a representative to the fact that it weighs into the World Series for some stupid reason. I don't think I've even watched the last two games or any of the ASB festivities. And seriously, if I were Konerko, I'd rather just go home for those three days instead of having to take part in such a farcical game. Sorry to take away from the point of the thread, I think I just needed to vocalize (so to speak) my reasoning for not caring. Great minds think alike.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) Rios for Lowe a hacky sack would be amazing.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 02:27 PM) How many by their own mother? Usually those cases are pretty widely reported on because its outrageous. Not to this extant.
