QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 01:54 AM) Tell me that they couldnt change the signs per inning, maybe change the indicator or the sequence. I dont mind that Buerhle spoke his mind, but AJ and our coaching staff should be able to adapt to sign stealing. And who are we to talk about stealing signs. We for many a year employed one of the best sign stealers in baseball as a bench coach. Lets get real. I don't think Nossek stole pitches and Location. Was more like bunt and steal signs and stuff. I think telling your hitters what's comming is lil more disgusting. I could be wrong on Nossek tho

Well Tadahito Eguchi didn't help Marks cause either

I hate Phil Rogers. Anyways, Mark sould have hushed and told the team and sould have looked out and then say something, Now texas will be carefull. Wow Cheating those are real Pros I mean something is fishy when Mark DeRosa takes you deep

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 10:39 PM) I have the 1958 team set, as well as 1966 and 1976 thru 2005. Still working on the early 70's though. Had to put a stop to the collecting since I moved earlier this month. No time, or money! Got anydoubles you'd like to send over? I mean if you don't want doubles, I'm trying to make a scrap book of the SOx teams. I got complete 1987, 1989,1990, 91, 92, Missing 2 from 93. After that i only have one or 2 cards of each year. I'm missing almost all of the 1988 seasons cards and some 86. Got a few 85 season. Before that nothing. Just asking

I luvvvv to watch Kark Throw

Just look at the Cowardly Lion from the Wizzard of Oz and you've got Ron

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) We just took an agressive stance on excessive attacks of players (ie the ones that get personal) and now Soxtalk is going to continue with this stance and apply it to posting. We'd like to see Soxtalk as the #1 site for Sox discussion and to do that we want everyone to feel comfortable posting amongst each other. Lots of us have gained friendships via the site and all of us have gained tons of knowlege during our time spent on the boards. Whether you come here once a month or multiple times a day were going to do our best to continue to improve Soxtalk. The next step to doing so, in our mind, is to agressively root out personal attacks. I know we've always had a policy when it came to personal attacks, but now were going to truly enforce that policy. If you see someone make a post you think is stupid or offensive...dont' respond to it by calling them an asshole or a moron. Either disagree with them by putting together an argument for why the person is wrong, report the post (which the mods/admins will than look at) or totally ignore the post. This has nothing to do with limiting discussion, in fact, we feel it will do the opposite. When people are comfortable to post without getting slammed, we'll see better discussion and debates on the site and I think we'll see the site become the friendlier place it once was. In terms of our policy, we will be suspending posters for 7-10 days upon first offense. So please, take note of this and take a few seconds to think before you reply in a post. Obvoiusly us admins/mods won't be able to catch every personal attack, but if we catch most of them and enforce the rules the attacks should gradually dissapear. If anyone has any comments (for or against) feel free to post them in this thread (its always nice seeing feedback so we know where the varying members stand on certain issues) or if its something thats more private, feel free to PM or email any of the admins/mods. Pretty Good But, 1. There can't be Power sick Mods, Just because you're a mod it doesn't mean you're always right (No one in particular, just saying) You can't shut up someone with the power threat 2. There sould be a limit of post before anybody can start a thread, Not to be mean or anything but there's been really stupid threads posted of Non Sense that really no one cares about and that's what starts things, same go for polls (Everyone knows how i feel about those when there used for stupidity) 3. I say about the post limit before able to start a thread is the fact that as someone said a lot of newbies will come around in the playoffs, Many of them bangwagon fans and many that won't come back to hte board and if the Sox lose a game then the bashing starts mostly on Ozzie. Hey it's ok to disagree and say hey Oz get your head outta your behind and so and so, But a whole thread? and multiple ones of the same crap? And for last, you guys do a good job keeping this place up and i tip my cap, but i do hate a lot of the Arse kissing around here. That said, those are my 2 cents sorry if it's a lil harsh, I've signed up for many boards and only spend time here on Soxtalk and of Course my principal board on Worldcrossing. I do admit you guys have been good to me and have done a good job getting rid of a few troublemakers such as Ncrolbl and Brando and so on. Thanks

And IF Fields is ever Ready. I would prefer to go after Furcal than Mueller

The Writters gave the CY to Halladay, He didn't steal it from E-lo

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) Loaiza is making $2.9M this season on a one year deal. Contreras made $7M this year and $8M next year, with some of that being picked up by the Yankees. How is Contreras cheaper? For some reason i was thinking the yanks picked up most of that.. :banghead

I was talking about this Bill Mueller will be a FA after this year. With the BoSox preoccupied with resigning Johnny Damon, the Sox should swoop in and sign Bill, giving us a .300 hitter at the corner. I think Bill is a switch hitter too. Of course Chad Tracy would fit in nice at the hot corner.... Tracy ain't bad, but not at the Hot Corner

Upside = Contreras Stuff = Contreras Price = Contreras

What's the facination with Chad Tracey at 3rd?? The Diamond Backs signed Glaus for a reason or two, His bat and Glove. Tracey is bad at 3rd. Not a bad hitter, but awful in the field at 3rd

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 03:14 PM) Hmmm Hermanson is 31/34 in save chances... Wow, that's a hard one! Heh!

Bartolo is in the Race for Sure. I never tought i would be saying this, But Garland sould have 20 wins already

And Uribe swings at everything too. Hurricane Uribe is a damn good fielder no doubt, If only he would be a lil and I mean a Lil more selective at the plate

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) LOL ... nope. You didn't. I didn't mean to imply that. No, I know I was just yanking your chain a lil.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) It was stated earlier that Ozzie was a horrid in game manager but he has gotten more from his players than anyone expected. Getting more out of your team than expected is what defines a good manager. Ozzie qualifies ... this year. Couldn't agree more I did not say that....

I say Upgrade at Short let Uribe take over at 3rd. He Reminds more and more of Tony Batista for some reason. BuBye Crede

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:20 AM) Where does the assumption Furcal will sign with the Cubs come from?? Was about to Ask the same thing

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 07:07 AM) What determines a "good manager" if not the won/loss record? I agree it's the Record. Just look at Joe Torre. He's soooooooo Damn overrated it's pathetic. But wins and Loses get you on Marketing Machine ESPN and that how people think you're good

QUOTE(Carlo Paz @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 01:56 AM) Ozzie = Ditka. Great leader, horrible strategist. Preach On Brotha, Why El Duque was out there for the 8th is beyond me he sould have the Win and the Phenom the Loss

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) Felix is going to run through this line up of ours ANyone else share this fear? :banghead NO

QUOTE(Sox1422 @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 05:36 PM) Nothing pisses my girlfriend off more than me constantly looking at my phones for scores and fantasy stats. Sh hates it. She'll just have to live with it. Then SHe's not the girl for you then..
