QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) Do you know something I don't Steff? Well you know a lot I don't, but in regards to this subject It's spring J... when have you known a spring to go by without some rampant rumors...? And with RC not starting the season.. watch if (when) he come back in July and is doing well. Holy hell will break loose on the subject.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 04:28 PM) I was hoping that spataro was actually the one injecting the roids straight into Clemens' and/or Damon's ass but obviously that was not the case. No worries.. I'm sure that story will be surfacing soon.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 04:23 PM) correct. but that's not how it was portrayed in the story. Maybe spataro has a case against SI...

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 04:22 PM) The thing is... Even though Soxtalk may be the first place the rumor was seen in print of any kind, it was being circulated through newsrooms and such at the same time. Sparto51, was just one of the first to hear the rumor. Dan Patrick was on the air at the same time as that was posted, and at the beginning of his show he mentioned that there would be some big news on the horizon in the next few days. He was cryptic, but he heard the same rumor before it was posted here. It's not like the media ran with a rumor that was originating from here. It was originating from someplace genuine, it just gained the most recognition here. Missed by many...

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 04:15 PM) I'd have loved to see mention of all the stories we've broken before the major press. From our first story (thanks to Steff and another poster) which was the Foulke/Koch deal to all the different times we scooped the world on Brandon McCarthy and other moves. Because like I said above, that's not drama. s***.. we also broke the Kenny flipping over the dinner table story.. you see that took THREE years to make the mainstream news outlets!!!! :rolly

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 04:13 PM) media members are increasingly paying attention to these kinds of boards. i have a friend who's a beat writer for a major daily and he said he checks boards regularly. he doesn't run with everything he sees, but there are things he can at least check out. frankly, if i was a beat writer i think i would not be doing my job if i wasn't checking. that is partly what disappointed me in the article. it was nice to see the soxtalk mention, but a more key point is why is this reaching the "mainstream" press. i wish the article would have explored further how a post on a message board gets into the regular news. to me, it is not news that some outlandish ideas are offered up on a fan web site. it is news that it would be picked up and run with by news outlets throughout the country who are supposed to be held to higher standards of accountability. That isn't drama, and wouldn't sell magazines..

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) I am wondering how the hell SI got wind of that thread The media lurks here a lot more then most registered members.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 04:02 PM) Sounds to me like the staff waited a bit too long to stop serving them. They seemed as though they were still pretty sober when they tried to follow them. It was a few hours later after they ate that the cops were called.

This is the post they should have quoted.. QUOTE(WhiteSox311 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) On Conan he said he's the same size now as he was at 13. DAMN his nuts must be TINY AS f***

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 03:47 PM) Heh, none of the administrators knew this was coming. Trust me, Jason's like a chatty schoolgirl.....we'd have known in minutes. OMFG... water everywhere!!

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 03:41 PM) I can't believe that rumor was started here. But it wasn't. It was in NY at least a week before spataro posted it here.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 03:39 PM) Oh god I hope we don't get sued over this. Relax francis.. Yas is telling the idiot poster to MHOFB, not commenting about ST getting sued.

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) Can you paraphrase? It starts with the quote from spataro51 who initially posted the rumor. Then a few comments about how it spread to the media outlets. Then how 8/19 came and went with no "outing". Then they quote YAS telling a nosey douchebag poster to STFU when claiming the site was at risk of libel.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 03:33 PM) Not so difficult after all... Of course, I don't have a premium membership. I do.. but I don't think I can post the article here... or can I?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) I think it's going to be difficult to link a physical magazine LMAO.

QUOTE(Mantastic @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) Do you live in Chicago? They have broadcasting stations in the big cities for better reception. I guess I'm wondering if it's the mifi or where I live. I'm in Hillside right now.

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 02:55 PM) Steff Do you have to pay extra to get the MLB games? Nope.

QUOTE(Mantastic @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 02:50 PM) I got one of the xm delphi mifi's and it didn't get reception anywhere. Consumer warning: don't buy one! I'm listening to mine from my office right now. Works like a charm.

QUOTE(NYSox35 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) Thanks for the tip...I've been around here a while, though I don't post often. Post police is part of the reason why I don't. At least the season is nearly here. Thanks for the return tip. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your posts..

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 02:24 PM) mlb.com owns exclusive rights to internet broadcasts of baseball. Cough.. XM... cough..

QUOTE(NYSox35 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 02:40 PM) Ok, I'm not getting into a ridiculous, childish game with you. Yes, I spread a picture of Bobby having a good time. Guilty As Charged! Arrest me Soxtalk Police! Smart move. Save that bulls*** for the other Sox sites that get hard on's for it. It's stupid bulls***. Take 5 minutes to look over the site and you'll see that it's business from March to October around here.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) I really hope that Hawk isn't still blowing KW every game of the regular season like he has done so far in these ST games. Yes Hawk, KW did a great job. WE KNOW!!! Oh.. he is. And get used to him saying it. In a couple hours with him in AZ I counted him say it no less then 3 dozen times over the course of a conversation.

QUOTE(NYSox35 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 01:51 PM) What is the rumor or inuendo of my picture... here is what it says on the site, "The original caption? "jamie, bobby jenks & me....reserve. thanx for the drinks all night bobby you lush."" I fail to see what bulls*** I spread. It's a picture of Bobby and two girls. Enlighten me please... Did ya post it here..? Yep.. you're a spreader.

Witnesses say he caused the accident - which caused her death. Sounds like he could be charged to me.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 11:22 AM) Wow! There are still 6 people in this world WITHOUT cell phones! Doesn't say if they had one or not, but there's no reception up there anyway. From the article, "The area is too remote for cell phone service."
