QUOTE (MAX @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:49 PM) You mean the board not assisting in it? Yes. I got angry and got my way. Now it's time to eat lunch with a smug look of satisfaction on my face.

QUOTE (MAX @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:44 PM) If konerko hits 50 this year, more talks of this will come. Trying to delete topics about it won't help that. As southsider2k5 said, the blame lies on baseball's poor management of the issue. No s***, but not assisting in it is good enough for me.

As someone who deals with SEO, all the time, I felt it my duty to protect Paulie. Pages on soxtalk get cache'd and searched by Google and other engines, and the part that sits between the PED accusations - Soxtalk.com is muey importante. Now that it only says PED accusations, it is perfectly fine.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:42 PM) I understand what you are saying, and the thread title was indeed changed. But as we're not WSI (I feel like I keep saying that today), we don't generally quash entire topics of discussion just because they are controversial. My request first and foremost was simply to change the topic title, because the thread inhabits the "Title" portion of the page and is the strongest section in the page in producing search terms and results.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:41 PM) Yeah. HAPPY NOW? Very. Thank you, J.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) I believe Paulie is his father favoritist ever having surpassed Frank f***ing Thomas and y'all better recognize. Fixed. Sixteen thousand square feet, people.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) Too much caffeine today? How about I like my superstars and don't want rumors spreading because of a website. The internet can be dangerous like that, in case you haven't heard. Paul Konerko has given us enough that we needn't assist in any idle bs speculation about him.

THREE MODS IN THE TOPIC!! WHO WILL COMPLY WITH MY DEMANDS

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) Oakland isn't exactly a place with a clean reputation either... Hey. Admin. I am serious.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:31 PM) I really want this topic title changed to "Speculative PED use around baseball" and switched forums and/or deleted before it winds up on the web forever. Someone mod me so I can make this ever important change like a responsible person. You may de-mod me seconds later. ORRRRRRRR save us all the time and hassle and just f***ing do it. I am angry now.

Happy Birthday!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:20 PM) I enjoyed Wilfred. I have now heard something good.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:20 PM) Sounds like it will be the Winnipeg Jets AWESOME

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:14 PM) Edited the topic title. Nothing wrong with discussing it, though we should be careful. If anyone can determine what this is about, if its any more than just some doofus caller with a theory, let us know. Nothing related to PK and PEDs/steroids the last 24 hours according to Google. It was caller speculation, and just because the Score talks about it, that doesn't mean there needs to be a thread started here that gets cache'd by Google.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:10 PM) I don't like it, but this is all about Bud Selig refusing to take control of this situation in MLB. NO ONE is above being accused. Give me an article. Give me rumors. Don't give me idiot caller from Springfield on the Score.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:06 PM) Just turned on the score and it seems they were discussing something in one of the Chicago papers? Then caller "Jim" phones in and tries to give validity to this arguement Anybody else hear/read about this? This is irresponsible and shouldn't even be a post. If we make a thread on what every moron speculates, this.board.is.dead.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:51 AM) Are those 1890's-esque ladies undergarments that Pierre and Rios are wearing? Good stuff, Stever! EDIT: Oh wait, I just noticed those were Ozzie's arms. Clearly the original is Carl Skanberg. I just made the altered one where Juan and Oz are smooching.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 10:27 AM) This makes me happy for obvious reasons. Yankees Pitcher Is First In MLB To Ditch Leather For A Synthetic Glove My veggie wife sent me that link a few days ago. It's pretty cool.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) Riggs wanted to have a discussion and Rizzo said there is nothing to discuss. He was the lowest paid manager in baseball. Makes me think Rizzo is a little difficult to work with. Yeah, how convenient that Riggleman demands this meeting at 38-37 instead of 12 days ago when they were 27-36.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 06:40 PM) Walked away from his team over money midseason. Not exactly the kind of selling point I'd admire. Yeah, Riggleman just had his last job. He signed the f***ing contract, Rizzo was under no obligation to extend and or/pick up an option in mid-June.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:50 AM) I like J4L but he was incredibly reactionary last night. It's the NBA Draft. Everything posted about it was reactionary last night. He was just negative in his reaction.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:15 AM) Let alone what drove me crazy is using the bpa comment against the bulls, when clearly they weren't drafting on need. They didn't need a 7 ft forward, they needed a SG. And all these talks about drafting a sg in 20-32 that could contribute right away is crazy. He'd never see the floor. How many of those players have been great? Eddie Jones? The only thing I can say for certain is Rudy Fernandez was acquired for a pick that came after 1-23. That saddens me, as I might be his biggest fan and I think he'd be a great get for the Bulls in a must-score situation as he is just a little offensive firecracker. However, he's still a bad idea to have starting next to Rose given his severe lack of defensive ability and mindset.

J4L, I don't think it's a big deal to cut back on the "JP sucks" and just add a little reasoning as to why you are complaining about it. I'm as bad as anyone at times, as I've said he should be "euthanized" or "shot", which is crossing a line. Just keep on keeping on, I think you are taking this way too personally. I know it wasn't directed at you alone, and yet you are now making it all about you. Instead of saying "Juan Pierre sucks", say "Jeez, I am sick and f***ing tired of Juan Pierre coming up to bat with 2 on and less than 2 outs because he's utterly useless in these situations." Correct me if I'm wrong, moderators, but I believe that's your whole point. Those two statements above are largely the same, but the latter leads towards discussion while the former just adds fuel to the meathead fire.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:10 AM) Greinke and AJ grew up near each other, and ever since then, they've had problems. Remember when Greinke hit AJ 2 or 3 times in 1 game, and then AJ hit a HR and said something to him? AJ is 7 years older than Zack. He was a senior in high school when Zack was in 5th grade. I doubt they crossed paths too often. I don't think their hometowns have anything to do with it... AJ's going to yap in the rare event he hits a bomb off a guy who's plunked him, had he grown up in Orlando, Florida or Hong Kong, China.
