QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:47 PM) Cause Frank did nothing to warrant it, whatever. And this years team has quit, I'm sorry but everyone knows it, it's not a very good club to begin with but they've definitely thrown in the towel. I AM an immature asshole when it comes to sports, so this years team can indeed go to hell. I had forgiven a debt... I think I am reinstating it and charging back interest now.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:40 PM) You made those two things up out of thin air. I didn't say people aren't fans for still following this team. That statement makes zero sense and I never said anything remotely close to it. And why am I being called stupid? I guess I should have said 2007 White Sox, but what's the difference. I enjoy watching a bunch of people arguing about how big of a fan they are. It's the dumbest argument ever and is a civil war. We are all on the same side. Who cares how some choose to root for their team? I'm just sick of watching this team 'play.' I didn't say you did. I called you stupid because you seem to think that those who aren't displaying some sort of mob mentality aren't mad. I don't see anyone arguing with you about how big a fan you are. I think your initial post is crystal clear on your feelings towards the White Sox.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:22 PM) I'm going to be pretty eager to go to some games once we get some new faces in these uniforms. Right now, I don't have the money to be wasting on watching all stars underperform. Once these trades are made, I'll be happy to pay and watch this new era start. Thank you for being mature about it and not calling folks who choose to continue supporting the team at this point "stupid". QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:23 PM) Yeah since being angry at this team means I'm not a fan. Get off your high horse. Be angry all you want. If you think those that choose to continue to support them also aren't then it's you that is stupid.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 06:00 PM) Danman, You do not speak on behalf of me... they may suck, but it's not like they've been s*** forever and haven't given us anything to cheer for in the past. They'll have this ship righted and overhauled soon enough, until then, feel free to turn in your Sox Fan card and give it to a real fan. Love, Steve Ditto. I would love to see some of you kids deal with the crap of the 80's. I'm guessing a rise in suicides on the south side. Please don't come to the park anymore. I beg you. Your whining and complaining is ruining my entertainment experience.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 10:12 PM) One day people on this board will realize the problem with Frank Thomas was 110 percent a KW thing and had nothing to do with Ozzie. At all. Somehow I doubt that. :brickwall

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:43 PM) the longer we go without canning Greg Walker and the longer we go without trades, i know KW doesn't care about this season at all. why is he the only black GM in baseball? anyone know? Wow.. He's able to stop trades from happening now?!?! Greg Walker sure has a lot of power. Hail Greg Walker. And although I would not one bit shocked, please tell me you are not trying to make some sort of racist connection between Kenny's position and the color of his skin...

QUOTE(GreenSox @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 04:22 PM) Guillen was constantly fighting with Thomas; and Lee. Maggs I don't know about. That is complete horse s***. And you don't know about Lee and Maggs...? Why the hell not? Did ya miss watching the news or reading Sox reports for 4 months? Ozzie was extremely vocal about both of them - one running/sliding like a girl and the other being deceptive. Talk about a selective memory. :rolleyes

QUOTE(SoxPhan7 @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 04:43 PM) Not true. The Taste of Chicago goes on until July 8th. So you have a few days to make it over there, I highly recommend it. But thats easy for me to say, I love crowds. The taste gives you a chance to taste tons of different food, see all different types of people, and enjoy the city as a whole. If I were you I would definitely make time to visit the taste. Thanks for that info. The Hilton told us the 4th due to some other fest being booked at Grant Park on Saturday.

QUOTE(29thandPoplar @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 11:05 AM) My understanding (recollection?) is a 3 year extension, $34M. My recollection is 3 years, $38M, with a boatload of incentives that would have made Mark very happy if he continues to pitch as all the Ms Cleo's seem to think he will. Regardless, it's not the same deal as JV. QUOTE(diegotony06 @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 12:04 PM) My fault it was reported that it was the same deal as JV got. I heard it on CTL from Phil Rogers I believe. The point is, sign the f***ing guy to a contract he deserves. Can you ever attempt to make a point without using foul language? The bottom line is, he'll get offered the contract he deserves. If he chooses not to take it and finds some moron to pay him more than he "deserves", then that is what will happen. QUOTE(WHITESOXRANDY @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 11:38 AM) Lastly, clubhouse influence for whatever it's worth. Buehrle is a leader on that team and the other 3 are certainly not. I don't quite understand why, but Paul Konerko is the clubhouse leader not Mark.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 08:13 AM) He interviewed the victims' families but did not tell them he had footage of the suicides. His film crew would set up and wait for people to jump and apparently made no attempts to try to stop anyone or call police. He's an article: http://www.kottke.org/06/05/controversy-over-the-bridge Interesting article, and I'm really intersted to see it for sure now. On the film's site they have critic reviews of actual intereviws with family members who gave positive feedback. Also from critic reviews they state that the filmmakers did call police which is shown in the movie. Thanks for that link. QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Jun 21, 2007 -> 11:28 PM) Netflix shipped The Bridge to me today, so Ill have it tomorrow and watch it over the weekend and give you anybody interested a report Thanks!! Looking forward to it.

QUOTE(diegotony06 @ Jun 21, 2007 -> 06:37 PM) I understand that. But it's an insult. How do you offer your ACE the same contract that you ofeer to a guy that is no where near the caliber pitcher as MB. Actually it's emabarrasing for the orginazation in my eyes. I say you offer MB 5/80. That's fair and if he decide to turn that down, then I will say that KW and JR did all they could to try to keep him. But to offer him last year at the All Star break and ext. for 3/33, is just a slap in the face and in embarrasing. Would you mind posting the deal that was offered to Mark because by all accounts I have heard, including the slip from Hawk and Kenny at Soxfest, it was NOTHING remotely close to what Vaz got.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 04:19 PM) Johnny Him, too.

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 04:18 PM) Not always an option. For example, me, that is blocked even though I have GameDay. The score has a free feed.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 04:13 PM) When is the playoff ticket money due? August

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) All they have to do is play .700 baseball the rest of the way and we'll be watching White Sox October baseball! Seriously though, .700 baseball. What clip did the Indian's play at in '05?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 04:05 PM) Hey, look at the bright side. It gives something for people to (negatively) obsess over. Isn't that kind of "therapy" covered under insurance..?

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 04:02 PM) COME ON, did anybody ACTUALLY expect us to tie it (without giving up a game winning hit next inning) or win? YEAH RIGHT. Why do you waste your time following this s***ty team..? I'm sure there's something better you could be doing with your precious time.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) Cool. Now we'll lose by 1.

1 run game

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 03:54 PM) Tomorrow's going to be one of those long days with annoying trade proposals listed. Tommorrow is going to be a fun day of golfing.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 03:54 PM) Well if I really meant 80, then yes, it would of been frustration. But I meant 50. And that isn't frustration, he probably really is 50. Gotcha. Though to be honest, in frustration I've said he's 120.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 03:49 PM) this has nothing to do with spelling or grammar. This is just nonsense Could it be that maybe he was exaggerating out of frustration....?

QUOTE(NYSox35 @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 03:48 PM) Again, have no access to the game right now... Listen online. I'm not watching it either yet I was able to tell it was a solid hit, not to mention the guy is having a great day at the plate. Common sense.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 03:43 PM) I hope you are kidding. That was a hell of a swing he put on the ball there. Get your head out of your ass. Also Josh Fields> Joe Crede. Oh hell no.. Have you read any of the previous 9 pages..? There is NO room for common sense in this thread.

QUOTE(NYSox35 @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 03:41 PM) F URIBE Yes. f*** the guy who's 3 for 4 today. Brilliant.
