QUOTE (hogan873 @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 05:04 PM) Much like a Trade Winds forum was created, we may have to create the Gordon Beckham Forum. All things Gordon Beckham, all the time. We will rename the site "BeckhamTalk" and create a White Sox subforum.

Conservatives quickly spun this into a negative. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/08/05/...test=latestnews

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 02:04 PM) As much as I like Beckham and I agree that he is the best player on the Sox right now, don't compare him to Pujols. Pujols is in a league of his own. Yeah, and its like AA compared to where Gordon's at

Gordon Beckham will make Albert Pujols look like Dewayne Wise at the plate.

Blasphemy.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 08:40 AM) It's kind of like Sarah Palin. WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO she's acting stupid! YEAAA! YEA FOR ME!!!!! WOOOT! The whole discourse is pathetic. Let's be "excited" for people acting like morons because it makes my guy look better! Oh wait, that's why Biden's our VP now. Nevermind, I get it. What, exactly, is Obama doing wrong here? Like you said, he released his COLB over a year ago now and the State of Hawaii, including their Republican governor, have repeatedly said it is valid and accurate.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 11:37 PM) BS. A photo op isn't the only thing this cost the US. He was there to deliver a message from the Messiah... and he got to take the reporters home in exchange for whatever that message was. What is this supposed message? What other ways should the US have tried to get these two women out of prison?

I hope this board continues with the Beckham hyperbole for the rest of the year. I'll be doing my part.

Impact of Beckham's HoF-ness?

Sox can't hit garbage breaking balls tonight.

I have to believe that Obama is just letting the fringe portion of the conservative base hang the rest of the party with this birther thing. http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/200...ia_certificate/

Carlos Quentin just punched his ticket to the HoF.

Just punched his ticket to the HoF.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 03:36 PM) He had an OPS+ that year of 107. Beckham is at 120 right now. Lets not get goofy about the offensive prowess of Joe. Statues, HOF, pssh. Wait till the park is named after him. Welcome to Bacon Field, home of Your Chicago Slayers. Fixed it for you.

QUOTE (rockren @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 02:25 PM) Considering it'll take a 15 plus year career to establish a HOF career rather than a few months... QUOTE (SockMe @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) Cause he has been in the majors for like 2 months You guys fail at sarcasm.

Why is this thread title a question? It should be a statement or possibly an exclamation.

What do FDR, Truman or LBJ have to do with a modern bill?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 01:57 PM) She demanded to know what the pre-9/11 presidential briefing was concerned with. How is that conspiratorial? That's a legitimate question. It falls in the line of 'when did you stop beating your wife?' if those quotes aren't horribly removed from context. Similar to the *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* Republicans are giving birthers right now.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 01:54 PM) Why am I not surprised that most of the lies come from the GOP and most are, on some level, fear mongering. Full disclosure: the place I grabbed it from tends to lean pretty far left. Still, it seems sourced reasonably well.

I love this thread.

QUOTE (Beckam4thehall @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 12:26 PM) Are you guys even sox fans ? Wtf. do you watch the sox play. have you been to a sox game. are you blind ? do you not watch him get the job done ? i bet you people don't even play sports. Try doing what he does. Being a life time short stop then moving over to third and playing it better than fields right now and in a year or two maybe as good as crede. Go f*cking play the game of baseball. Learn how to play the game and please go watch a week of sox games. He's already way better than Crede offensively.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 12:07 PM) There were main stream documentaries, articles, shows on National Geographic/History etc... The tag line may have been "What really happened?!?!"!!!!""" But the documentaries all went into some amount of detail as to why the troothers were stupid.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 12:06 PM) But it's no longer 2002. Chet used the past tense
