  8. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 02:33 PM) If you're not going to play Betemit in a game like this, there's really no reason to have him on the roster. totally agree...
  9. QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) The way people treated Uribe comes to mind. Uribe's defense in the infield is as good as Anderson's defense in the outfield. And both has similarily-frustrating at-bat performances. Yes, Uribe was treated like s*** so many times here. With comments like...Uribe is going to eat his family bc is something common from where he is from. Please correct if I'm wrong but it was BA who went to Venezuela (or some Latin country) for Winter League and decided to leave in the middle of the season b/c he was getting sick due to the water? After that I remember Guillen was feeling disappointed at him. Ppl were criticizing Guillen over this...how can you criticize the coach for that? The player should go down there and show he deserves to play for his coach. Instead he comes back saying he was sick and blah blah...if you give somebody this opportunity he better shows he deserves.
  10. QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 01:13 PM) I actually think a lot of hardcore Sox fans, like on this board, treat black players a lot more harsher than white players. That's honestly the impression I get from how a lot of people act on this board. If a player is black, and he sucks/struggles, he gets booed and hated mercilessly. But if a player is white, and he sucks/struggles, get doesn't get booed as much and gets more benefit of doubt and their other attributes are played up as "positives" to outweigh the negatives of their suckitude. It seems like too many white White Sox fans cheer for white players even though they suck just because they "identify" with the player just because he's white and a young womanizer with funny stories about getting drunk at bars. Yet, if the player is black, the white fans don't "identify" with him just because of his race, which is ridiculous. Also, I think race plays a big role in why a white guy like Joe Crede has more of a cult-like following than a black player like Jermaine Dye. One would argue that both players should have an equal cult-like following, but the majority of white fans, such on this board, were devastated when Crede left the Sox via free agency and they have no problem whatsoever to see Dye being traded or leave as a free agent when his contract is up. The double-standards on race in this board is ridiculous. A lot of people will deny that race plays a role, but I don't buy it. I'm calling it out and the issue here is that race plays a subconscious role in how some fans decide to support a player or not. The issue of race is the only way I can make sense of how some fans are always clamoring for Anderson and ostracizing Wise despite the fact that both of them suck equally. So yes, I do think Anderson SHOULD be booed if he performs badly like Wise, but there's a strange adoration complex going on with White Sox fans for Anderson. I kinda agree with you on this...this is the same with Latin players.
  11. Man...this is BS...why PK is playing? Total BS! Did you see his numbers agst Greinke??????? Complete BS! Now DP!
  12. What happened to Jr? Is Ozzie already throwing the towel?

  14. I would like to see Griffey hitting again but he is out...tomorrow is blacked out the game here in TX.
  15. QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 12:39 AM) Wow, all the old timers coming out tonight. Rafa, Kip, Winning Ugly. I'm having flashbacks. Nice play CQ. I've been around...couple games this week. Tonight is special...KGJ is playing for us and showing he is business (for this game so far). I'm also sick which means can't get wasted tonight.
