Thanks, Admins!

I still want to know why this thread has not been pinned. We should be reminded daily to vote for Konerko until maxed out.

I would love to see this thread pinned. I might even send a note to Brooks Boyer asking that the Sox to really pump up the ASG marketing campaign for PK along with Dunn and AJ. All three clearly deserve the local vote at a very minimum. Maybe some goofy gimmick again with t-shirts and really get the broadcast booths talking about it. Would be a lot better than listening to golf and Yaz stories.

P.S. Not only does Konerko deserve the start at first, but Dunn has a pretty good case to be the starting DH as well.

VOTE HERE: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/events...-asgballot-2012 And anyone know how I can acquire MLB highlights? I want to make a White Sox 2012 video. Also, everyone vote O-Dog to start 2B for the NL. Funny you say that. I was at Friday night's game with my boy and we filled out a ballot. We not only voted for O-Dog at 2nd Base in the NL, but I also tried to convince him we should vote for all ex-Sox players. He wouldn't hear of it, though as he knew some of them had no basis being on the team.

I need no sympathy

"A-BOMB!"

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) With MLB.TV on the PS3, I get to hear a lot of announcers. It's like a breath of fresh air, listening to people who are younger than 100 years old talk about the game and reference players from the 90s, and have conversations that engage me that I haven't heard a million times before - Hawk doesn't do this. Hawk's schtick - I am finally tired of it. You could just have a Hawkbot at this point and really have no idea he wasn't actually there. Cue up his catch phrases and have someone record player names in his voice. As for Stone, I think he's brilliant, and with the right sportscaster he can be great, but with Hawk it just doesn't work. The reason is simple - no one with Hawk will work. He always turns it into a dick measuring contest, cuts the other broadcaster off, and winds up telling me about some garbage player from the Red Sox in the late 60s. The tv feed needs a breath of fresh air, and someone who went to broadcasting school, a real broadcaster, doing the play by play, and then save the homerism and the baseball references for a guy like Frank Thomas to be the color analyst. I have spent my entire lifetime listening to Hawk. I have laughed at his calls for years. I have yelled "HE GAWN" "STRETCH" "HEEYEEESSS" "DAT GUMMIT" "YOU GOTTA BE BLEEPIN' ME" - I have enjoyed it. (not so much the "HELL YEAH" though) I am so f***ing ready for it to end and to finally have an on screen duo that entertains me. Let the flaming begin. ^^^^This

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 22, 2012 -> 02:01 PM) No offense but you probably should put in the corner a disclaimer "parody of greg775" cause to the average person this would seem like a mockery of Paulie and other "never forget" efforts. just saying. I was curious to see what your remarks were going to be and now I am 100% convinced you are a troll. You MIGHT be a White Sox fan, but no one is as big a fool as many of your posts indicate. I've had you on ignore for a long time now and don't miss your schtick one bit.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 16, 2012 -> 01:15 PM) I just had a Charles Comiskey flashback. "29 is not 30." Cicotte was such a whiny b****.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ May 12, 2012 -> 01:20 PM) Gentleman Da...Da. Yes...Yes Give it up man. If you and your circle of friends like it, great, but no one is buying it, no matter the pause, emphasis, or translation.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2012 -> 10:41 AM) Because he was the Greek God of Walks a decade ago? And he's not even Greek.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 3, 2012 -> 10:30 PM) Marty, I have a suggestion for you, if you don't like him, don't listen. I do not understand why people complain about things that they do voluntarily. Well, those of us who grew up in a time when Eddie Einhorn was ahead of his time with sports on cable learned the game by listening on radio. I got to the point where I really preferred listening to games on radio and getting other things done rather than watching on TV. So, if you love baseball on radio and hate Farmer as your PBP man, it really makes the season less enjoyable. Rooney made for a very enjoyable and productive Saturday afternoon.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2012 -> 07:29 PM) "Time to Move Rios" "Wrapping Up April-Tough Start for Rebuild Crowd" "Closing Time -Hector Isn't Cutting It - Who Will?" "Viciedo Not Worth The Wait" "Farmer is Awful" "KW: Stay Out of White Sox Minor League Business" You are one crabby dude. I understand where you are coming from, but I like this particular thread topic. BTW, there are subtle nuances and quirks to all posters, you included. Back on topic, Farmer does suck bad. Man how I long for John Rooney and his play by play.

This game has been over far too long for me to have to do this. I didn't even watch the game, but from what I saw in the highlights in the bar... Beckham!!! Sale!!! Your mom!!!! That's all I got. Please add/subtract where necessary.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 06:32 PM) That would have been for cause. They wouldn't have owed him a thing. Do tell what the cause is here. Answering a question honestly in an interview? It would be interesting to see where he breached the terms of his contract there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 09:01 AM) Ok, whatever Dick....perhaps the odds are not nil. The point is that has nothing to do with his positioning...That is something entirely different. Or is this tee ball where we can hide the guy that can't catch in left? Silly, everyone knows you hide T-Ball duds in Right Field and then put on a shift when the big lefty kid comes up.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 10:37 PM) And Steve Nebraska Awesome. Such a cheesy scene.

Ozzie is a big mouth and an idiot for not thinking about the possible repercussions of his statement in Miami, but....deep breath...I agree with what he said and think the reactions are pretty over the top. Yes, Castro has been an oppressive dictator for some time but we helped set the tone for him to come to power. A LOT of the anti-Castro vitriol out of Miami is spewed by bitter dissidents who were robbing Cuba blind for years with the help of an equally oppressive thief of a dictator, Fulgencio Bautista. The Cuban lobby act out of Miami is beyond old. Many of these same folks calling for Guillen's head are the same ones who wanted Elian Gonzalez to remain separated from his father. They were also instrumental in helping Jeb steal the 2000 election for Dubyah. In some ways they are no more in favor of a free democratic society than Castro. They spent 60 years trying to assassinate Castro and strengthened his anti-American resolve in the process. He dodged every bullet along the way and continued to thumb his nose at us across 90 short miles of water. I do not agree with Castro's politics or human rights record, but Ozzie is not out of line to say that his survival in such adversity is worthy of some level of respect. With all of that said, I still wonder how the hell Ozzie could say anything positive about Castro while working for a major Miami sports franchise. Just plain dumb!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 10:46 PM) There are no references to golf from either Hawk or Farmer (as well as Notre Dame) the entire season. Hawk also doesn't mention Savannah or Valdosta, GA. or any of his Dennis DeYoung/Styx references. Those really make me cringe.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 06:09 PM) As Hawk says, everyone, with the exception of Michael Jordan is always available. Even Yaz?!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 14, 2012 -> 09:47 PM) Isn't Ephesus a city in the Bible...related to the Ephesians? Maybe we'll need "divine intervention" to win the division this year. It is also still a city in modern Turkey as well.

The Catcher Was A Spy and You Gotta Have Wa are both great books.
