QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 10:06 AM) I don't know much about her, but this does seem like a bit of a gamble. McCain is probably looking at a big loss with women at the moment, and this might be designed to stop that bleeding? It is a gamble, but this a direct response to the people who think he isn't conservative enough.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 10:07 AM) I have to say, what happens to the red southern white men who wouldn't want a women president if McCain drops dead...(which is a possibility more than Obama b/c of his age) If we are talking about the type of people who don't want a woman President, they are probably the same kind who don't want a black fella as President either. Most narrow minded people are consistantly narrow minded.

So what do you get superman for his birthday?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 08:41 PM) 2007: 139 IP, 2407 Pit, 17.32 Pit/IP 2008: 160.7 IP, 2612 Pit, 16.36 Pit/IP 2007: 17.32 X 160.7 = 2783 Pit 2008: through 160.7 = 2612 Pit So yeah, John is throwing less pitches per inning pitched this season as compared to last. He's actually throwing more pitches per plate appearance this year (3.93) than last year (3.87) but he's facing less batter per IP this year (4.13) than last (4.47). So to sum it up nicely: 2007: 156 Pit/9IP 2008: 147 Pit/9IP Awesome! Thanks for finding that. That makes me a lot less worried about Danks.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 12:30 AM) convenient I was left out of both Mario and your renditions of how this all got started. I'm glad I'm going to law school, because Im going to sue the f*** out of both of you! You are going to be a lawyer? Man I figured you would either be a gynocolgyst or a plastic surgeon specializing in breast implants.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 09:31 AM) I think his general theme there was something along the lines of "people first, America is people" but then he transitioned into the responsibilities of leadership. But his general point was that even despite that, people working together can do more than the government ever can, although he didn't say that exactly. Which is exactly what Republicans have been saying for generations.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 08:51 AM) I would love to see ANY specifics from McCain on anything. The "Don't vote for Obama" routine is getting a bit old. How about a reason to "vote for me"? The ad he ran during the olympics had a lot of that.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 08:22 AM) Given the ten minutes or so he gave personal responsibility, I actually thought you'd like the speech. I actually just posted an article in the GOP thread that kind of adressed that... yes he mentioned it, but then he also talked about someone else being responsible, which to me made no sense. But it did actually give me an idea for a separate thread...

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 08:33 AM) Romney and Pawlety are not the VP according to NBC. My guess is it's a women. Sarah Palin is what CNBC is reporting.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 10:30 PM) I just re-read the entire thing and i think i herniated myself from laughing so hard. :lolhitting I miss Apu ^^ Me too.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 11:48 AM) Democrats Plan McCain Birthday Bashes in Battlegrounds What would be really funny is if the GOP had something like an Elmo or another kids cake sent to Obama for his birthday.

Well now I know how a Chinese place can serve Wings...

Yeah, Soxtalk has produced some classic threads. Going back off of the top of my head, some of my favorites include mutherf***ing, dips***ass.... by Heather back in 03 or 04 That bizzarre Ronald McDonald thread The Rally Crede thread incorgible's outing thread The thread from the Indians fan a couple of days before the 05 opener. I know I am missing some good ones too...

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 11:06 AM) Oh yeah I know that, I was looking for a story to explain them. Last time I recall one of them (Steve?) was trying to bet Steff and Rock Raines a thousand dollars he was posting from his law office, but you came in and said his IP was the same as his brother's. If you hear a story that explains them, I would LOVE to hear it! "they" were a pair.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 10:44 AM) How about Israel4Ever and his brother Steve Bartman's my idol? Both were banned.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 10:34 AM) Where is Boz? There are alot of folks I forgot about now looking at our old board. I even remember my first argument (qwerty) Getting married.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 10:38 AM) In checking out one of the cached pages I saw a blurb up top thanking all the Sox minor leaguers who posted or viewed the site wishing them luck. Among them was Josh Fields. Does/did he read or ever read this site? Or was it the other Josh Fields It was Joshua Fields the reliever, not the 3B. FYI, even today there are players and players families who check out the site.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 10:08 AM) I could see him coming back to the Sox, but we've been fine without him. With a 40 man roster, he could help.

Another move by the party of inclusion to stiffle free speech... http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-to...cago-radio-show

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 09:27 AM) So you believed at one point she stopped? I don't know about that, but if she is into Orton, there has GOT to be drugs and alcohol involved.
