QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:45 AM) Ok.. if you want to take this further... let's at least try to keep the comparison's even. Don't try tossing in a drug dealer or a corporate rapist and comparing them to an idiot ball player who was joined by fans in a a&b altercation. OK, how's this, we have drug taking (and I am sure dealing) athletes all over pro sports who are known by their teams to be using, and they don't get punished by the law, even though their drug use is public knowledge in many cases. Why is it different for them?

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) So punish the entire team for the mistakes of few..?? No offense kap.. but that analogy sucked, IMO. What happens to families when their breadwinner gets sent up the river because he was dealing? Doesn't that punish the whole family? How about a group like Arthur Andersen getting procecuted as a whole for the transgressions of a few people? It happens in the real world everyday. For whatever reason it is viewed as different when it happens to famous people.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) Just cause doing something makes you a douchebag, doesn't mean it should be against the law to do it. Heck I'd be illegal then

It was only a matter of time...

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:28 AM) JR just confirmed Farmer and Rooney are coming with the team to the Score. That's all I care about...

So they are rewarding a criminal. Nice. I'll bet the Studios are knocking down Saddam's doors as we speak.

QUOTE(ISF @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 08:29 AM) I'm more concerned with Frank continuing to be selective at the plate. The power threat is a huge addition to the lineup though. That'll come with ABs, IF he can stay healthy.

QUOTE(southsider17 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 07:56 AM) That's a good question Josh. Is there a difference? Admins actually have the ability to do more things than mods do. For example an admin can ban people, while mods can't.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 05:05 PM) This team does so much charity, it's unbelievable. Helping with Utica, building the baseball fields in Mt. Greenwood and now this. This team just continues to impress me. ^^^^^^ And they get zero attention in the media for it. That is the criminal part of it all. We can get treated to stories about Franks ego, Ozzie's mouth, attendance, and the ballmall everyday, but the media is eeriely quiet when these same professional athletes make a positive impact in peoples real lives. I make it a point to dig out these stories and post them every chance I get, so that everyone can see the good hearts in these people, and look past things like their batting averages and ERA's. These are honest to god, good people that play for the Sox, and the world deserves to know it.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) Is there a reference to the moon in the bible? If not, I'm pretty sure Carl doesn't believe the moon exists either. Read Genesis again.

An amendment on flag burning is a joke IMO. There are a lot bigger things they could actually be working on, hell I'd rather seem them helping to find the killer with OJ. This is a freedom of expression. The line in the sand for freedom of expression is does it harm someone else. In this case the answer is no. To me this is as symbolic as buring an apple pie or baseball, as buring a flag is just an expression. There is zero need to rewrite the consititution to look like a good American.

This might have been the worst kept secret ever.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 03:11 AM) Well... back at you Sir. I can undertand Slonerko, Crazy, Dead, Judy, Cocks, Dingo, Jizzcan, Omit & Cruddy. They deserve those nicknames at times. But, I just couldn't understand the swipe at Gload. He thinks its funny.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 02:17 AM) Up until today for the last 3 games he was going to right field much more, I'm not sure if that was the case vs Colorado and the first two games against San Diego when I was out of town but that's something I've noticed about him. Pauly becomes such a dangerous hitter when he uses the whole field. This is the difference in Pauly. I don't know if watching Frank made him think of this again, but hitting the ball to RC (especially since Frank hasn't done it for years now) has been the huge difference in his game, and no coincidentally, that is when his BA started to jump too.

Crede>>>>Burroughs. Like his bat or not Crede plays an excellent steadying third base. He makes many difficult plays look easy, and saves his pitchers tons of runs during the course of a season. Especially with two groundball pitchers in Garland and Buehrle, we would regret not having Crede in the line up, unless we got a top 5 third baseman to replace him.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 07:31 AM) Of course he is. Read what he said. I read it. Trust me. As usual he has a D behind his name so he is just being misinterpreted. I guess the Democrats are the only ones who can use the Nazi comparision and get away with it these days. And as usual people we are bending over backwards to say that isn't what he meant, when his words are pretty clear. Trust me if it had been Bill Frist who had said the samething we would have judiciary committees investigating it, and headlines all accross the country about it. Its a joke.

Of course he is being misinterpreted. :rolly

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) They already rolled DiscoverY out to launch once. They had to roll it back to do some more work on the external tank. They talked in the article about all of the different things they did to it. It is basically a piecemeal of other shuttles parts right now.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) As of today, it is probably fact. three weeks ago it was probably opinion. Trust me if KW didn't like Damaso Marte, he would have been gone a long time ago. One thing Kenny doesn't do is rest on his laurels.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) jesus players dont run out a pop out all the time you think the barons manager over-reacted a little.... Maybe pull him out of the game but dont make such a damn big deal about it. That's the whole point. Its the minors and they need to learn these things now. Especially since a guy like Josh Fields has proven and earned nothing. I would have done the exact samething. There is no excuse for being lazy.

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 02:46 PM) See, I don't think Prior pitches more than 100 innings any year for the rest of his career. Injuries just find this guy. Give me Mark Prior and a manager that knows not to abuse his starting pitching everytime.
