QUOTE(q\/\/3r+y @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 06:12 PM) Several people can watch it at once. But i have heard of cases that they shut off someones service when they caught on to it. Last year i know there were two or three passwords shared around here that were used alot. Thats funny, its not the same answer they gave me when I asked them. I called them up before ordering it and asked if people could split the cost, and then both watch (I wasn't planning on doing it, was just curious), and they said that it would only allow one IP on at a time or something. Then again, of course they would say that, they get more money if 2 people buy 2 accounts rather than 2 people use 1 account

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) In all reality here is how I look at it. Actually each poster is responsible for their own actions. The site is just a vehicle, and that vehicle is for sox fandom. Jason and Co do a good job of cleaning up stuff that is over the top, but how can you police rumors. Some people on the site do have some inside information and provide an insight to the whitesox that we as a normal fan cant provide. Some posters are even some of the minor league players themselves. I find it funny that reputiable journalists are so quick to nibble on any rumor that they would take a poster on a fan board seriously without spending lots of time on the site, knowing what type of poster this person is. I found it humorous at best when some guy claimed to be a relative of one of the owners of the whitesox posted some rumor, and then a few days later that same rumor appeared on mlbtraderumors.com. I thought that was some shotty journalistic work, but this rumor jumping to these levels without anyone in the journalistic community checking a source or the facts is funny. It goes to show you how much of the news we see is the truth, and how much of it is made up bulls*** on some blog site. I agree with that, and yea, I think its pretty sad that Soxtalk gets mentioned for starting some rumor, while MLBTradeRumors.com has been doing that all the while.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 07:26 PM) But you could argue that Dye had a great year compared to what he's done in the past, Pods had a pretty good year (except for the 2nd half) etc. Neither of those two had career years however, and as for Pods, half a year does not make a whole season good. Dye has always been a solid player when healthy, so moving to USCF would naturally improve his offense, if he stayed healthy. He stayed healthy, so his numbers increased.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 07:12 PM) Maybe I'm way off, but wouldn't every other source and place that mentioned these rumors be in the same boat as us? They claim that SoxTalk started the rumors, so I think SoxTalk would be the only one held responsible. Then again, Clemens and Damon (as public figures) won't have a case of libel against ST even if they tried to bring one up, so there really is nothing to worry about.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 07:09 PM) Pollite, Cotts, Hermanson, Jose and Jon really had "career" years... IMO, none of our hitters really had career years...... Yep, I agree with that thought.

You didn't mention the FutureSox reference that was on ESPN.com awhile ago (I think it was for Ben Grieve), but then again, FutureSox isn't SoxTalk Nice job, and I'm glad to see SoxTalk not apologize, since nothing wrong was really done.

That is the best article in Sports Illustrated I have read in awhile, but they really should have done one about spreading rumors on MLBTradeRumors.com, not a site that actually is worthwhile like SoxTalk Then again, press is press

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 02:15 PM) It's amazing that 50 years from now, Geoff Blum will still be remembered in White Sox History for that HR. I can't complain, though. Waiting up until 1:30 AM for that to happen will stay with me forever. As will Ryan Meaux

I really don't know what to make of it, since I don't know much about him. From what I read, he hasn't done too much for the team, so replacing him couldn't hurt.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) To be a Top 5 team, you need Top 5 pitching. The Yankees didn't have it last year and are even worse off now. Thats far from being true. After all, look at the regular season standings and number of playoff appearances in the recent past, then look at the Yankees overall pitching stats.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) Just curious but why? Right now, Thornton is probably no better than Tim Redding. Cooper has less than two weeks to help this guy throw strikes. Would you be happy with Tim Redding in the bullpen come opening day? He also thinks that Thornton will be as good as Vizcaino... at worst.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) Would of been better if it was a link to tubgirl or lemonparty. Yea, but then bad things would happen to me

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 11:45 PM) I don't think they should be ranked over Oakland or the Angels. The Angels? What have they done to truely improve their team? As a vivid Yankee hater, I'll still say that they have one of the better offenses in baseball, and their staff as a whole should suck less than last year. They should be ranked in the top 5 on any power rankings.

This is Spring Training. The losses mean absolutely nothing, mainly because most of them were caused by scrub relievers trying to prove their worth, but instead sucking. The offense is starting to pick it up, and players like Konerko and Anderson have really found their stroke as of late. You shouldn't be worried at all. You should be worried about our bullpen for the regular season, but thats a whole other topic.

Well, game's over, 76-62 Cincinnati. The bias in me says that Cincy got a lot of calls, but it wouldn't have made a difference, since Minnesota played absolutely dreadful. Oh well In other NIT news, South Carolina took out Florida State in OT 69-68 tonight, while in past days that no one has updated in thread: Saturday: Manhattan 87 - Maryland 84 Monday: Michigan 87 - Notre Dame 84 2OT Louisville 74 - Clemson 68 Missouri State 60 - Houston 59 Hofstra 77 - St. Joe's 75 OT Miami 53 - Creighton 52 Manhattan 66 - Old Dominion 70

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 10:22 PM) This guy is the most dangerous player on the team, talent-wise. Forgetting green?

STOP TRAVELING MINNESOTA Its not legal, so stop doing it. 46-40 Cincy with 12:40 left

I don't know how anybody could be upset with this signing, great move.

QUOTE(Timoperezrulez @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) What are you talking about? Why would you have Thornton and Logan in your starting rotation? Here's an article on it

Minnesota is looking horrible right now.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 02:52 PM) I think this is a great move. Borchard was really dead wood anyways. Additionally, we get a guy that Cooper thinks he can work with. At worst, he's Viscaino part 2. At best, he's Jenks part 2. Huh? What makes you think he could come anywhere near being as good as Vizcaino? Its a little known fact by most Sox fans, but Viz was pretty good last year, and from the way I see it, the best Thornton will do it what Viz did last year.

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 11:09 PM) absolutely no one cares about the NIT, making the tourney is success. *sniff* I'm no one QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 11:11 PM) Minnesota was good enough, just had a really rough start to their Big 10 schedule.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) You're still stuck on the Yankees version of Contreras? That guy doesn't even exist to me. You realize he sucked while wearing a White Sox jersey too.. right?

I'll take the NIT winner, only because my school is in it
