QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 04:24 PM) Or I when you hear Farmers dull and monotone call of a double off the wall with all the runners scoring apparently, and the SOX have just taken the lead, and your forced to listen to the CROWD to determine what just happened/who just scored. How bout it, his boring, monotone style is terrible. And you're exactly right, sometimes you have to judge by the crowd to tell how well a ball was hit. Farmer is the worst.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 12:38 PM) I think the concensus is just that he has no concept of what is appropriate behavior and what isn't. A world leader happens to be a woman and something goes pop in his brain and he decided it is appropriate to give the old gal a shoulder massage. yea, pretty much Bush is an idiot, always has been.

QUOTE(Bonderman38 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) John Kruk said that The White Sox would probably trade McCarthy for Gordon.. John Kruk is obviously a crack head

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:15 PM) I sort of meant it was a wedge issue for our side for once. it's definately a good issue for the Democrats.

great play

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 04:22 PM) The Senate Passed the bill, 63-37. Not enough to override a veto. Finally! A Wedge issue! Whoopee! this isn't an issue the Republicans would want to use as a "wedge". far too many moderates and republican voters support stem cell research.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) One of the real things that would suffer as a result of eliminating the penny is actually charitable donations. You know those boxes say at the counter at a grocery store, or at a fast food place, where you drop in some of your extra change? Getting rid of the penny would actually significantly hurt those numbers, IIRC. good point. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 12:18 PM) DING! this is a complete waste of time. IIRC this same guy has introduced this bill for years straight not sure if it's the same guy, but you're right... this certainly isn't the first time this bill has been brought up.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) Lets dig some f***ing posts from last year. Everyone who wanted Guillen gone in August should have had to eat crow. But for some reason, it was never brought up when we lifted our first banner in 88 years. We should really do some more post/thread digging next year. ^^^ but Buehrle still looks like worthless lately

i guess kalapse was right all along Buehrle sure as hell don't look like an ace

pitching isn't what it was last year

well, this sucks

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 06:37 PM) Yankee announcers are licking our nuts on anybody in a white sox uniform, kinda fun what are they saying?

QUOTE(Aderal @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) I thought the tupac and tron skits were funny. the first one was alright but the revenge one was only funny when he pushed that guy down the stairs..."not the stairs man" i thought they were good, a lot better than i expected.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) That was a well thought out, well written argument totally relevant to the topic at hand. i still think you're the best Balta QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 05:08 PM) Can you feel the love? Man, just think of how snipy-snarky we'd al be with each other if the Sox were tanking. . . totally. i think Balta is showing me a lack of respect... that is against the rules here at soxtalk i wish for a formal apology. sincerly, mr_genius.

don't worry guys, i heard Dan Rather just printed out some official documents that'll totally burn the president this time.... totally.

QUOTE(sti3 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 08:56 AM) DJ is very prepared and knows the whole league. Easy to be a hater when you're on sports radio in Nashville, TN. I don't hate him like others, but I don't want Farmer on TV. you have the best sig i've ever seen on this site. QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 10:38 AM) I hope everybody learns to hate the White Sox as much as they hate the Yankees. oh man, that would be sweet

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 11:28 PM) And in 20 years...he can run for President! Jenks would be the best president ever.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 01:26 PM) I could care less if a newspaper in Chicago covers the Sox. thats because you live in Iowa na, seriously though, i'm not worried about the sox not getting enough media coverage.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 09:44 PM) I think this latest one is garbage. It says absolutely nothing. From what I understand, as well as what I have observed, Bobby has been on his best behavior for the tremendous amount of success which he has achieved in just the past 12 months or so. The real story now is not to drag his checkered past up again without reason, but rather to celebrate that he has overcome it. The article which portrayed that some 6 months ago was a much more appropriate piece than this last one. thats definately a fair assesment. the earlier article seemed to use a lot of hear-say, even if some of it is true the guy was a kid when most of the stuff happened. not so sure i would write an article like that about someone who's 17 or 18 and grown up in a situation like that.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) I don't think the 03' article was crap, assuming those were actual quotes by Jenks about the self-mutilation were correct. i thought they were both bs. but thats just me. edited my previous post, i guess some of you guys think they were both fair.

i think the article was a bulls*** cheap shot at Jenks.

wow, horrible article. basically trashed the guy for having a learning disability (among other things). yea, no way this kind of journalism would be tolerated/printed in ESPN magazine if bobby wasn't white.

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 02:14 AM) Because in our country's relatively short history white people haven't been discriminated against Maybe the irish have, but they deserved it
