QUOTE (lostfan @ May 20, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) OMG Balta really? lol. I laughed harder at you than I did 2K5's joke That was the worst part. The joke wasn't even that funny to begin with.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 20, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) Perhaps, but jokes about compulsive masturbation are pretty much homeruns 100% of the time.

Yes sir, may I have another?

So do Liberals

Quizzes are frowned upon.

Kid, I am not getting myself fired.

I am so not clicking that link.

f*** that is serious

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:27 PM) There was a lot of Garland hate for a while too. Ah yes, the old Judy Garland days.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:21 PM) I like the idea to recognize these two guys. Uribe is definitely someone who seems to be more popular with Sox fans now than when he was actually on the Sox. It doesn't hurt anyone to do this, and it's not like we're recognizing Timo or Luiz Viczaino. There was A LOT of Uribe hate on Soxtalk for sure.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) Yes, and as I said, that is the reason it is so awkward. It was cool to do it for Peavy and Frank because they returned the following season to Comiskey. With these guys, it has been years. It's like, just let it go. The s*** was six years ago. Wait, Peavy?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:07 PM) I'm still lost. He didn't say "Was it "For" Barney Frank, he said "was it Barney Frank". The only 2 nouns in that tweet that I can figure out that the pronoun "it" 2k5 wrote could refer to are the song or Newt. I can't see how asking if "it" is Barney Frank makes sense referring to either of those. You know how people use songs to indicate who is calling? Geesh man, I really didn't think it was rocket science or anything.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) My Q... Is Bobby getting honored this year too? They are doing an all you can drink eat buffet in his honor.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 20, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) I get it but how many people have bought Uribe jerseys over the years? He was nowhere near being a fan favorite. It just seems like doing something just for the sake of doing it. Disclaimer: I love Uribe. To me it doesn't matter how many people bought his jerseys. It is a good thing for the Sox to be doing.

Here's my thought on this. We hear so much about the player relations problems when the happen. They get made into some huge controversy when they happen, and spun into this idea that no one will ever want to play here. The reality is this is just an example of the organization going out of its way to recognize successful former-employees. I think it is a great idea.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) You lost me on your first reply. "Newt's cell phone went off, Ring tone was Dancing Queen by Abba". You responded "Was it Barney Frank"? And I'm confused how you didn't get the joke.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) Huh? Barney Frank sang Dancing Queen? Wha?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2011 -> 02:28 PM) Twit Was it Barney Frank?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 20, 2011 -> 12:43 PM) Hawks sign potential back-up goalie Alexander Salak, 2-year deal, 600k/yr, one-way contract Damn, if Salak can be a back up, that is a cheap net cost in Chicago.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 20, 2011 -> 12:18 PM) At least Shaq was good at basketball. Boozer crossing guys over? Going hard on offense? Right. Well at least he didn't say going hard on defense...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2011 -> 12:26 PM) I could very much see him being dangled this offseason though. Depending on the season that he and the team have, it wouldn't surprise me.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) When the Yankees built the new stadium, they insisted that they needed 2000 more parking spaces than the previous stadium despite the new one having lower capacity. NY City issued $237 million in taxpayer supported bonds to pay for the expansion of the Yankees parking system. They also built the parking garage on the areas only other community baseball field. On a typical day, the garage is now ~1/3 full and is on the verge of defaulting on the debts. They've raised their prices to $35 to try to extract more from the people parking there. But of course, the players and the VIP's use the same garage, so it's ok for everyone else to subsidize that. Just close your eyes and think of it as a stimulus program... That will make it all better.

The only way Q goes somewhere is if the team gets melted down wholesale.
