Gregory Pratt

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 08:57 PM) I thought Schuerholz has a restraining order for you? He's my homeboy down south, he has no restraining order. But seriously. Man up and go down to Atlanta and let Yost know how you feel.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 08:14 PM) Ned Yost, you are the worst f***ing manager in the history of sports. I hope you get fired and never get a job again in baseball. I didn't think it was possible, but you made me think Ozzie Guillen is a good manager. Your team doesn't deserve to make the playoffs....and shockingly, they won't. Let's fly to Atlanta, get dugout seats and scream at Yost all game long.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 08:33 PM) Reminds me of myself and SoxFan1 (Slavko is obviously gone dorming with guys). Yeah, that time we hung out when you guys said, "Oh, we live so close but we've never met," I was like, what the f***? That was weird. That was a fun, fun day.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 07:42 PM) That's about to change: As of today, I've officially reached the point where I'm openly cheering for the White Sox to lose. Not that I'm against certain players performing well (whether to heighten value or just to show progress); but rather, just hoping the game ends with the opposing team scoring one more run. Preferably 1-0 in Garland/Vazquez starts, and X+1 in every other. What's great is with Santana pitching against us tomorrow, within the confines of the Metrodome, I'll probably be quite happy. YAYAYAYAYAYA What do you have to say about that, Greg? Try to control the tremors in your fingers when you type a response. Kansas "Greg" is "greg" okay? mmkay?

Oh, and Flash hero worships SSI71

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 07:14 PM) 3-0 Braves woo Let's go Brewers!

Hawt.

El Presidente.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 07:05 PM) Yup. Oh well, he's still the f***in man. I can't believe people gave me s*** for saying that he did what the Braves told him to do, changed his game for awhile but the league adjusted and now he's hitting .200 since August and been much less than a .355 hitter since the ASB, like he should be. That's why baseball's such a great game. You can't "fake it" for long.

Harris has fallen back to Earth.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 06:58 PM) I believe I called in chat that Pratt would be the first one to bring to make the thread. I was also the one who told Flash to ask about the whole Brokeback Pratt thing. Oh yeah, flash and I live about a block away from each other and still haven't met. Probably for the better. EDIT: Yeah, I don't know why, but I've always imagined flash looking like Jim Thome minus the hugeness. Funny that he actually does. He touched my foot.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 02:55 PM) I'm like 90 percent sure at some point Lowell was on something(ok, now I'm speculating). He lost so much freakin mass once he joined Boston. Was he on something? You know, I'm very skeptical about everyone, and if I were speculating, I'd say, "If Canseco's numbers stand to reason -- and I think htey do -- then there's a good chance he was on something. A very good chance." But with Lowell, losing body mass doesn't necessarily mean steroids. He had cancer.

I'm going to be very, very upset if this never sees the light of day. Yeah, I believe and express, maybe more than anyone here, how MLB works hard to keep certain things under wraps, especially with its big stars. And I've got a great idea who it is from my own eyes, his numbers and rumors I've heard. Let it fly, News Agencies.

Moving right along... I only write it a million times a day. It's Schuerholz. Shurholtz sounds like a gun holder or something. To business! Analyzing The Myths Behind GP and Flash Tizzle Flash talks about Liriano nonstop 24/7 MYTH: he only mentions him when mentioned. And when the mood strikes. Important to note is that the mood doesn't strike 24/7. Pratt talks about John Schuerholz 24/7 FALSE. He has to find time for Gavin Floyd and all the sexy people. Which brings us to a myth discussed at today's meeting: Brokeback Pratt is an admission of homosexuality FALSE. It is a reference to the time Gregory Pratt was thrown off a cow's back. Flash Tizzle's real name is Flash Tizzle False. Gregory Pratt's real name is Roy Pratt. False. TRUF. Seriously. White people from Palos Heights burn easy TRUE. Gregory Pratt is much older than 18 and is in fact a poseur. FALSE. Flash Tizzle spends his summers in the Latin jungle. INCONCLUSIVE, but general thought is FALSE: Flash burns far too easy for that. Perhaps that is the White Sox organization's excuse? -- Really, we met in the Library, went for a walk to the Student Center, scared a friend of mine who I didn't initially recognize (more like very friendly acquaintance, I guess), found a place to sit, chatted about baseball and life (police work, current events, Board members, relationships with people not named Flash Tizzle or Gregory Pratt), turned each other's sexual propositions down only to wonder why the other was rejecting the advances, bid each other farewell. About the only thing I like better about other message boards as opposed to this one is that there seems to be a wider array of people who go to the games together and hang out on some sites than on this one. Clearly, I've always tried to change that by inviting people who I know are in the city, at my school, in the neighborhood I went to high school, season ticket holders or people I know are attending a certain game, etc. etc. Because a message board is a community of sorts. And while, of course, there are people you don't like, it's rather interesting to meet someone from the board and say hello. Flash commented that I'm much more articulate than he expected. I don't think it was a crack about him thinking I'm dumb, but generally, when I think of people from this site, there are a variety of things I think of, and you do, too, as stereotypes are ingrained into our subconscious. You know, "Internet losers," which undoubtedly some people are, but overall, a message board is a place where real people have real exchanges about things and sometimes, especially with people whose usernames don't betray their identity, you see a very real, but very hidden side of someone's personality, be it their anger or their resentments or their fears or the their perversions or hte things that make them happy. Anonymity is a great mask and that's my guess as to why people don't meet from this place more often, even if it isn't just for a few minutes to say hello at the ballpark. But really, it was a pleasant experience. Flash is as I expected (intelligent, friendly, funny). Except for the fact that he is Jim Thome's face.

Flash and I met. I call him Flash. He calls me Pratt. Good conversation about all sorts of topics. Anything else he tells you is a filthy lie. More later.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 07:06 AM) Check Gavin Floyd, September 2004. What did that mean in 2005? he's a rookie. he's still learning.

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 10:01 PM) He has 30 homeruns, and hit 42 last year. What do you mean? You need to read SoxTalk more. Thome's lost his power. He's a nice guy though.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 09:58 PM) I'm sure happy that Yost took Braun out of the game. Didn't he learn from last close game they had with Astros on Labor Day? Of course not.

Kansas "Greg" is "greg" okay? OKAY?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 07:50 PM) It's sad to see how much Griffey Jr.'s ability and energy has deteriorated. Sadder still is what his mentor did to keep his ability and energy high./

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 07:24 PM) Closet? That dude is out like Richard Simmons. Well, yeah, that's right. But you know what I mean.

You say that like it's a bad thing

Shearn makes me smile. He's got quite the story.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 03:54 PM) I don't see any similarties in this case and terrorism. I think it's about people standing up for themselves and being fed up. I see kids who grew up in the south and have heard stories about how their familes were hung from tree's. Than to see nooses haning from a tree. I don't know what its like to be black in the south, but i'm guessing I would have reacted too. Oh that and Jesse Jackson is great for pissing off uptight closet racists. Jackson is a closet racist himself, I think. But it is rather interesting how many closet racists there are.

Why hasn't the Cubs game started? Shouldn't it be on ESPN?Okay I see. Let's go Reds!
